WikiWoo

  • Code Letter: F (see [2] and [3])

It's appropriate that Halloween is tomorrow, because, like Michael Myers in the Halloween films, WikiWoo seems to keep coming back. Previously banned for exhausting the patience of the community as WikiWoo ( talk · contribs), WikiDoo ( talk · contribs), and WikiRoo ( talk · contribs), he subsequently returned as GST2006 ( talk · contribs). Now, Brampton 2006, who (as shown in the following diffs) has a very similar editing style and pattern of behavior, is disrupting Brampton, Ontario and Brampton municipal election, 2006. The following list of diffs show similarities in language usage and worldview between two editors who have an unusually keen interest in local Brampton politics. My apologies for their number; this is my first time filing a WP:RFCU and I wanted to be thorough. The list could have been a lot longer. JChap2007 05:02, 30 October 2006 (UTC) reply

WikiWoo

Continuous problems coming to a head at Talk:Conseil scolaire de district du Centre-Sud-Ouest, with an editing style and to articles belonging to a geographic area consistent with banned user WikiWoo ( talk · contribs), WikiDoo ( talk · contribs), and WikiRoo ( talk · contribs). -- Stéphane Charette 20:55, 27 September 2006 (UTC) reply

Can you provide some diffs? Voice-of-All 22:22, 27 September 2006 (UTC) reply

no Declined No diffs and no link to arbcom case. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 23:10, 27 September 2006 (UTC) reply

Sorry, I'm new to the checkuser process. Is it diffs of GST2006's disruptive comments and style to compare against which are needed? ( [6], [7], [8], [9], [10])
Or do you need examples of edit warring which has been ongoing for the past few weeks? ( [11], [12], [13]...) Actually, looking through the article history, I don't even know where to start. Almost every single edit to the article by GST2006 is controversial and has resulted in revert wars between him/her and maybe 5 other editors. Excluding myself, as I've so far participated only in the talk page discussions, not wanting to get re-involved in the article until the mess gets sorted out. (I say re-involved since I have in the past edited this article, though not since GST2006 has appeared on the scene.) -- Stéphane Charette 23:25, 27 September 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Note: WikiWoo was indef-blocked after many of us spent a very long time trying really hard to get him to stop adding original research and gross bias. The edit history of GST2006 is indeed problematic in the same way, albeit on different articles; the hallmark of WikiWoo is the attribution of actions of municipal authorities to corruption, often by named individuals, unsubstantiated by external reports. Guy 09:57, 28 September 2006 (UTC) reply
    • And this is why we think it is the same person. At CSDCSO, his contributions are varied (though mostly controversial), and one of his key points is how a set of elected officials ("Alice Ducharme" and others apparently of the Ducharme family) are corrupted. When pressed to cite, he simply external links to a Google search for "Ducharme + CSDCSO", which offers zero credibility to his claims and POV. Do I need to re-submit my request since it was denied yesterday, or is this enough information? -- Stéphane Charette 21:34, 28 September 2006 (UTC) reply
  • To help out a bit, here's a couple of diffs that might provide a stronger link:
19:56 14 September 2006 - GST2006 places a paragraph on controversy that was apparently the centre of quite a bit of discussion. This paragraph gets beaten on and violated for some time, and then removed by another anon.
11:57 15 September 2006 - the paragraph is replaced by 216.154.134.91, which by a look at the contributions [14] pretty well confirms that the IP is WikiWoo. It seems beyond the range of coincidence for this IP to pop up in the midst of that discussion, which does show quite a bit of WikiWoo's trademark discussion, without there being something going on.

Latest edits [15] show a very familiar pattern of first trying/pretending to be reasonable, then thoroughly ignoring whatever is spoken to him and going to do his own. -- Qviri (talk) 19:55, 29 September 2006 (UTC) reply

Please, can we confirm or deny the link between GST2006 and banned user WikiWoo? This user (GST2006) is now vandalizing user pages of people involved in editing articles ( [16], [17]), and still talks -- though stops short of outright accusations -- about corrupted public servants or corrupt school officials on talk pages [18]. -- Stéphane Charette 08:10, 30 September 2006 (UTC) reply
I think you'd need to resubmit, given the above decline, but as far as I can tell the circumstantial evidence is pretty compelling (I know WikiWoo's style pretty well by now, as you know). CheckUser confirmation would be valuable as the user vehemently denies being WikiWoo. WikiWoo has openly admitted previous socks (but was not at that time commuity banned). Guy 08:18, 30 September 2006 (UTC) reply
I thought this *was* a resubmission, as it's in the 'outstanding' section. Tony Fox (arf!) 08:21, 30 September 2006 (UTC) reply

 Clerk note: To the best of my knoledge, there appears to be no arbitration committee case for either WikiWoo or GST2006, but there does appear to be a community ban as linked above. Kevin_b_er 17:39, 30 September 2006 (UTC) reply
