Pages

This section is for pages that are the targets of persistent vandalism by multiple users (anonymous and/or logged in).

Counter-Strike

This page is being repeatedly vandalized by 82.153.109.156, 82.153.103.158, 207.5.192.239 et al. The first two appear to be the same person, since the last revision/blanking said something to the effect "since I was banned I changed my IP address" Kewp 09:22, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

An Introduction

This page, pretty much nonsense and other speediable junk has been created four times while I have been watching. Mostly by ips starting with 62.253.128, and two of them I know were .12 and .14, though I missed the others. -Goldom 23:22, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Update: Since this page has been protected, the vandal is now working at "An Introduction". 62.252.96.12 has created the same page there now. -Goldom 23:37, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

FilePile

Various users, or sockpuppets, are removing information, adding nonsense, and making personal attacks in the article. Almost all of the vandals are recently created users who are also participating in the articles accompanying Vote for Deletion. One of the vandals has even attempted to obtain my password. Main culprits are User:Tranquileye, User:Flaunted, User:Aquafinal - Xed 22:10, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Christopher Walken

Anon IP deletions, apparently to hide claims that Walken's "2008 presidential campaign" is a fraud by "General Mayhem forums". (Interrupting reconstruction to leave this entry.)
--Jerzy·t 16:54, 2005 August 15 (UTC)

DeviantART

I'm not sure if this is really vandalism, or if somebody just wants to engage me in a edit/revert war over the above article. Somebody (or some people; I'm assuming the former) in the IP address range 151.44.*.* keeps adding false accusations against Scott Jarkoff (founder of deviantART) and nonsense to the page; repeated requests on talk page, as well as reminder-comment on top of page and all affected sections have been completely ignored and even mocked at. Request for protection of the above article is already up, person(s) have been warned on the 151.44.123.254 talk page (his current IP address). I have already reverted the article three times in a space of 24 hours; three revert rule seems likely to be breached soon unless action is taken. A.K.R. 15:22, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Nancy Drew

IP constantly removes external link. Father Howabout1 Talk to me! 00:58, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

That's a content dispute, not vandalism. Some might regard your links as "link spamming", given that they're to a site with commercial advertising, and you've been placing them on many different pages; it's generally discouraged to add links to your own sites. *Dan* 01:02, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

Michael Dutton Douglas

User:Shem Daimwood repeatedly has removed the disputed indicators from the Michael Dutton Douglas article and refuses to engage in a discussion about the dispute. I believe in these circumstances, this is vandalism. I respectfully request the page be restored with dispute tags, protected so the dispute can be resolved. Coqsportif 01:30, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Content disputes are explicitly not vandalism. If you want the page protected, go to WP:RFP. Note that you only have about a 50% chance of getting the version YOU want protected. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 01:46, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
  • This is not a dispute about the content of the article as such, a dispute over whether dispute tags should remain is not a content dispute. I have not reverted the content as I think a discussion is most appropriate but the tags are being removed, I believe this is vandalism. If I'm wrong about that, I apologize but I doubt that I am. Coqsportif 01:52, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
Note: Please see Wikipedia:ANI#Coqsportif and Wikipedia:ANI#Coqsportif pt 2. This user is likely a sockpuppet, and has already been blocked once since his joining. Shem(talk) 02:16, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

I am not a sockpuppet. All I want is for the dispute to be resolved correctly. Vandalism is preventign that. Coqsportif 02:21, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Gaming Age Forums

Several users (with a full range of IP numbers) seem to be taking turns vandalizing this page faster than it can be reverted. Mel "MelSkunk" Smith 19:20, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

Insane amounts of vandalization. Can we use that as a reason to speedy? --Habap 20:08, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Pope Benedict XVI

The image of the Pope is repeatedly being replaced with the image of Star Wars Emperor Palpatine by a vandal or vandals from anonymous IP addresses. Robert McClenon 15:18, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Yeah, this was a problem back when the article had just been created. It's not a new problem... but it doesn't stop after one or two times, so watching the page would be a good idea. Trust me... I had to revert this particular image replacement quite a few times. --Chanting Fox 01:08, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

List of big-bust models and performers

A user (or users, but probably just one) using the IP range of 69.235.xxx.xxx keeps on removing certain links from the "P" section of the article. Recommend a block on that IP range. -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. Think out loud 02:44, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Charles I of England

How can I (and several others) encourage User:Silverhorse to stop misspelling Habsburg. Also he keeps adding titles in inappropriate places. Just look at any 'royal' page he (or his several IPs) have edited Special:Contributions/Silverhorse. He has inappropriately changed several other 'royal' pages, some (such as the Hanovers) not being in my interest area remain for someone else to fix. --ClemMcGann 16:01, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Theforce.net

His IP is 70.84.11.130. He typed an inapropriet comment that has nothing to do with the topic.

Same person with a different IP address each day. Keeps reverting to what is now a very old joke.--JRL 13:21, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Certain AOL (who else?) user(s) are on a vendetta against me and are removing external links to my sites from Radio Boys, Grosset & Dunlap, Supermystery, Mildred Benson, Roy Rockwood, Clues Brothers, Casefiles, The Dana Girls, Hardy Boys Digest, Undercover Brothers, Harriet Adams, Ted Scott Flying Stories, Nancy Drew, Franklin W.

This is doubly annoying as I was the originator of many of the Wikipages and my web pages provide additional in-depth information on these subjects. This has been going on almost daily for weeks. PLEASE HELP ME!--FWDixon 10:53, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

From what I can see of your pages, they don't seem to have all that much actual content, but are full of commercial ads; the bulk of the site is devoted to selling various Nancy Drew (etc.) books, while the other content (forums and such) are inundated with annoying ads including interstitials and popups/popunders. I can understand how others might find such a link inappropriate, especially when it's "spammed" to so many articles. OK, there is some factual info on the various Drew / Hardy Boys / etc. books that may be of interest, but it's accompanied by "Buy It Now" links that presumably get you commissions. If you really were interested in helping enhance the content of Wikipedia rather than shilling for your own profit, you'd add the factual info on the various books that you have in your own site into the appropriate entries on Wikipedia, without any commercial links. *Dan* 23:25, August 13, 2005 (UTC)

Swiss-Italian cheese

A false cheese invented to spawn an article which isn't that funny. Is created by an unregistered user.--Klestrob44 05:44, 9 August 2005 (UTC).

Pop punk

This article seems to be attracting attention from a number of anonymous users (may be the same person, based on the similarity of their edits) who have repeatedly blanked certain sections, added profanity on occasion and steadfastly refused to discuss the reasoning behind their edits on the talk page. Might be an idea to keep an eye on it for a while... --Kurt Shaped Box 23:53, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Jesus

I recently posted a legitimate addition to the article Jesus (the one that comes up right away when you type just "jesus" into the search bar) and it's been removed. I'm sorry I don't know how to link to the article or report the user etc., but I'm new. It seems like when I make legitimate additions to articles people just take them off right away and revert back to the original version. Being protective of your articles defeats the whole purpose of Wikipedia, no? Is there a way to get back what I added? (I don't have another copy.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.34.174.183 (talk • contribs) on 07:10, 5 August 2005

  • Once submitted, changes can (almost) always be retrieved from the page history (fourth tab from the left at the top). --Alan Au 08:06, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Often if you want to change a major article like Jesus majorly, it is better to have a look at the discussion page, read previous discussions and possibly join in and discuss your proposed change before doing it. When you are confident that you have a backing from the community, you can introduce the change and place a comment in the bar next to the "save changes" button that indicates the discussion has taken place. Also, more often then not, changing an article like Jesus (which is likely to attract quite a bit of vandalism) from an anonymous ip (rather than a registered user) will get reverted as vandalism very quickly. We certainly want you to help change wikipedia, but because of the amount of pov vandalism against pages like Jesus, many RC patrol wikipedians will intervene quickly - sometimes unjustly.

He came back two to three hours ago and started vandalizing again. Suggest immediate action, as he shows no signs of confusion or remorse; he's clearly just being malicious. --Shackleton 17:31, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

I don't see any reason to believe this ip is being used by serious users. The history of vandalism goes back to mid 2004 with plenty of vandal edits. A long ban at least. Usrnme h8er 09:13, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

If you block 64.231.4.58, you are not following Wikipedia's policy of neutral point of view. There should be sympathy towards the Jews as well as reasons and substantial evidence on why the Nazis committed genocide. (unsigned comment left by User:DaGizza)

What does that have to do with the nonsense about Baghdad bombings that this person was inserting into the Jew article? Antandrus (talk) 15:54, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
  • One user posted evidence that users of the FaithFreedomInternational web forum are organizing on that forum to mount a concerted attempt to change Islam-related articles to their POV. This evidence has been blanked seven times already, by Existentializer and also by various anon IPs, with much bad language in the edit comments. Dunno what to do -- if we protect the talk page, no one can use it. Block all posting by anon IPs on that talk page? Zora 23:24, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

  • The domain 69.50.187.* is recurring with a variation of ip addresses as what appears to be a spam bot. Should we consider a wide ban? Can anyone identify the owner of the domain? Usrnme h8er 09:51, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
69.50.187.92 and 69.50.187.87 both appears to be owned by organisation in San Fransico[5]. Interestingly enought, they have a acceptable use policy which forbids spamming[6], so maybe someone ought to let them know. However, a quick google seems to indicate the're a spammers haven thought. WegianWarrior 10:27, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
These IPs have a bit of history (see User:Nigosh/linkspammers). User:Thue took some action on 21st July - emailed ISP about spamming and added some URLs to meta:Talk:Spam_blacklist#Atrivo_linkspammer_on_en. Appears not to have had any effect. Propose blocking IP ranges:
  • 69.50.166.3-6
  • 69.50.184.210-215 & 217-221

Expanses of text deleted outright from the Anthony Burgess pages in Wikipedia and Wikiquote. Motive appears to be a malicious attempt to destroy all references, both in Wikipedia and Wikiquote, to the Burgess biographer Roger Lewis.

diff. Note that I have never talked to this user once. I have not read the whole thing, but he seems to be writing about some stances I supposedly have, which might make it look like a discussion, which it is not. --Fenice 08:37, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

I banned him for 24 hours. --Woohookitty 00:17, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

This person is posting "biographies" of moderately well known professional footballers in which almost every "fact" is deliberately false, often ludicrously so. He should obviously be permanently banned, but having read Wikipedia's feeble policies I suspect I am wasting my time reporting him and I won't bother to contribute to this section again. Wikipedia seems to have a policy of institutionalising naivety and bending over backwards to be soft on malfactors. If that leaves those of you who handle this side of things with a lot of work to do, you have only yourselves to blame. Please don't post on his talk page as it would only encourage him. Osomec 16:54, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Same user adding incorrect information of hit singles, regarding the years and titles and has been mostly warned by Rhobite. He has repeatedly been restoring "Cigaro" by System of a Down on the Top Hits list from the 2005 in music article, which is not an official single.

    • Please help - protect page perhaps? Receiving constant addition of the paragraph, The Plaza also provides a unique community childminding scheme, whereby children can play freely in the area, while their parents can relax and enjoy themselves without having to worry about their children's behaviour from a series of anonymous IP addresses. This is inappropriate for an encyclopedia and resembles more like vandalism of the practical joke variety. Discussion started at Talk:Discovery Bay but user not cooperating. --Mintchocicecream 18:20, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
Is the statement inaccurate? How? It doesn't seem to violate NPOV. Is there not a place for children to play? --Randal L. Schwartz 18:49, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
His/her statement is plain wrong: The Discovery Bay Plaza simply does not provide a unique childminding scheme - or any childminding scheme for that matter! The statement is really a sarcastic statement complaining about the behaviour of children in the plaza. More such complaints can be found in external forums such as [[33]] One might also wish to compare this type of statement to the changes that *did* violate NPOV introduced by yet another series of IP addresses between 15-20 July [[34]]; furthermore attempts to discuss with anonymous user(s) has been fruitless. --Mintchocicecream 20:26, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Erwin Walsh (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has nominated numerous pages for VFD and copyvio within minutes of the original post, far too little time for any consideration. The VFD he posts are in a wide range of subjects that he appears to have no understanding of. While some of the vfd are justified almost half are not and this is causing a lot of work for people.

--Gorgonzilla 16:24, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

I urge any admin reading this to take a look at my deletion log User:Erwin_Walsh/Vfd/ which demonstrates a consistent effort towards improving wikipedia, and is clearly not vandalism. Erwin Walsh
The proper place for this criticism would be your user talk page but you keep deleting it there. The point is that three minutes after an article is posted is not enough time to allow for the person editing a stub to improve it. Several of the articles listed as 'unimportant' are about very well known brands and personalities that Walsh clearly has no idea about--Gorgonzilla 17:08, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
Gorgonzilla is right. Walsh is either an incompetent or a troll; either way he's a pain.--Spliced 16:49, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
What's more, he is now persistently removing criticism of his behaviour, including references to this page, on User_talk:Erwin Walsh --Spliced 17:02, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
Folks, this is not the right place for this dispute. Vandalism in progress is a place to list things that need to be cleaned up, not users who make too many VfDs.

AI (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Vandalism; fifth report - a 4th revert without explanation; Won't discuss the information being reverted, instead claims hes doing "Wikification." It is doubted at this point AI knows much about the information he keeps reverting to, nor has any interest in discussing or substantiating the information. Maureen D 21:04, 2 August 2005

Was going to say something myself, but it looks like Petaholmes already blocked him. Nufy8 01:54, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Moderate

User is repeatedly vandalizing Platypus Rex page (several times a day), and was warned on his/her talk page. Has filled the page with ludicrous biographical information (e.g. Glen Daniels was Time magazine's "Man of the Year", that Coburn appeared on a (non-existent) Friends spinoff called "Chandler", that I myself have been dead since March of 2004.) Continues to re-institute this incorrect version each time the vandalism is removed. As a member of Platypus Rex I am able to confirm that my version is correct and Killertunes' is not, and the band's Web site at www.platypusrex.org includes a bio quite contrary to his information. -Jyaus 15:32, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Dirty Animals is adding obscene pictures of animals to user pages. See an example. I am reverting his edits. - grubber 12:36, 2005 August 3 (UTC)

They're surly responses to articles I see listed for Speedy Delete that really shouldn't be, I've contributed to every single 'stub' I've removed a Speedy Delete tag from, and it wasn't a personal threat to kick your ass, it was a poetically-refrained attempt at livening things up with edit summaries among a bunch of people who slap a Speedy Delete on an artist or historical character because they're too lazy to use google and make it a proper stub like I do. I suggest you view stub histories, before running off to mommy and daddy crying that I improved stubs and used a bad word in my summary Sherurcij 22:20, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

Possible Sockpuppets

This just one user out of many. Cool Jared (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) did the same thing. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 07:53, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
Also likely to include Goodboy (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log).
By all means, continue to draw attention to your re-creation of deleted material and repeated removal of delete tags from an article you created. It will get the material removed from Wikipedia again that much faster. —Cryptic (talk) 18:57, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
