Mickey Z has a revision war going on. I suspect someone with a personal vendetta.
24.55.228.56, an anonymous poster who deletes anything he doesn't like in psychiatry-related articles. Also, rude and obnoxious. Francesca Allan of MindFreedomBC 02:12, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
On Wikipedia talk:Ignore all rules, User:Raul654 has failed and refused to apologize for reverting and protecting Wikipedia:Ignore all rules. Rather, he has defended his actions in that they purportedly "led to productive discussion" and that they were purportedly "important to help demistify[sic] the cult of 'ignore all rules.'" Furthermore, he posted a "do not feed the trolls" image, stating that it is "a waste of time to respond to NetEsq." As I stated on the Talk page for IAR, I would have accepted a simple apology for Raul654's initial faux pas, but Raul654 has demonstrated that he doesn't think he did anything wrong and has subsequently chosen to marginalize his critics with passive aggressive behavior rather than respond to them. Similarly, a note that I left on Raul654's User Talk page inviting him to participate in dispute resolution has been ignored. // NetEsq 23:30, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
On the Mark Bilbo biographical article, user Jason Gastrich has attempted to input POV-laden and unseemly commentary in an effort to single out Mr Bilbo for scrutiny and criticism irrelevant to the commentary. Gastrich has a history with Biblo on Usenet newsgroups, especially free.christians and alt.atheism, where they tangled many times. Furthermore, Gastrich was denied a list of atheists from Mr Bilbo's site, used a proxy to get around the protections that had been put up, and took the list, anyway. This was exposed in the groups. Gastrich's attempts to play the system at Wikipedia to force inclusion of his POV into the Bilbo article are detailed at:
And several others. Gastrich has defied at least two and maybe three admins in his zeal to require Wikipedia to represent his POV on the issue, and this is not the first time. See the Wife Swap entry and history for another example. 00:02, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Seeking external input on [ Shiloh Shepherd Dog] breed article. Discussions began in early November and have not been able to reach agreement. POV has been a stumbling block. Personal attacks have been numerous. Mediator Jareth has been involved at length and has been great. First straw poll on article went 18-4-4. Second straw poll raised, but external blitzing for votes on external website is skewing the picture. End attempt is to have an article with NPOV. Gwyllgi 21:22, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Administrator user:FeloniousMonk is issuing warnings while having conflict-of-interest, is repeatedly making accusations and failing to listen to the subject of the accusation (as well as another admin who can not be accused of bias, as he is on the opposite 'side' of two debates), and is acting in a manner inappropriate to an admin. Attempts at soliciting apology and correction of the error(s) has been met with admonishments that amount to 'go away' and to let "reasonable editors" take over [24] [25]. Several editors are working, with compromise, to come to a consensus on two issues (one nearly resolved [26]) in this particular article but this admin (and a couple others) are merely reverting to a version that goes against both 'sides' of the compromising, insisting that there is consensus where none exists. This complaint is not specific to content, although that is part of the problem, but to the behaviour and conduct of this Admin in particular. Following on the heels of him erroneously reporting me for 3RR the other day, this leads to a pattern of some sort of personal vendetta for reasons known only to himself. I have repeatedly asked him (and the other three who are reverting without showing cause) why 'neutral' errors should be re-introduced but there has been no (substansive) reply to that query. 06:46, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Personal attacks in Talk:Neuro-linguistic programming. I came in as an outside source, uninvolved with the articles editing. I was immediately and mercilessly personally attacked. To wit, after my very first post pointing out WP:NPA: "Swatjester. You have not explained exactly why pointing out persistently bad behaviour is an extreme violation of WP:NPA. Instead of just waving your little forms around for people to look at, why don't you take your head out of your arse and give us a good argument for why Comaze has never been in violation of any wikipedia policies or conventions.

Fyslee is now stalking me. His insults continue. [29] He makes me feel extremely unwelcomed to such a degree that I am hesitant to post any more details about myself on my user page out of fear of giving him more fodder for stalking me. Levine2112 18:50, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your response. I would agree with you if this was only limited to Pseudoscience section, but Fyslee has been following me around Wikipedia, launching into insults about me on his talk page, the Chiropractic article's talk page, and the Oxymoron article's 1#Question talk page, to name but a few. What should I do? Levine2112 23:48, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
MARussellPESE, did you really just insult me on the Wikiquette page by calling me a "true-believer"? That is a derogatory word used by sceptics to characterize who they beleive are weak-minded people that have been duped by pseudoscience. Clearly, you are not an unbiased party here and I suggest you leave this matter to a legitimate System Operator. This is a place to post violations of Wikiquette; not carry on argumentative name-calling.
Now if you would like me to cite specifics, here you go. On this page, Fyslee and friends call me a "prinitive type", a "fool", "stupid", and "thin-skinned". Here he characterizes my contributions as "amateurish", "cheap", "feeble", "weasel", disingenuous, whiny, "oversensitive", "thin-skinned" and cowardly.
MARussellPESE, you point out that I have more complaints about my additions on my talk page that Fyslee has on his. That's because Fyslee resorts to ganging up on me. He frequently posts messages like this on the pages of his cabal to warn them about a new user with beliefs that differ from theirs.
Further, Fyslee leaves messages like this on user's pages that post things that he doesn't agree with:
If you want to press the point about entrance requirements, I can easily and without violating NPOV provide more chiropractic sources that are quite unfavorable. Is that really what you want? Sometimes it's best to be quiet and hope that some things don't get brought into the open. This is one of those times, seen from your viewpoint.
Is that a threat? Sure seems like one. He continues to threaten me with gathering evidence against me and getting me booted from Wikipedia. Here is an example even from SkiptiWiki.
Finally, the actual subject of this entry is found here, where Fyslee calls me a "disgrace", a "joke" and finally makes it clear that he is trying to find out who I am and where I live.
Now given all of these insults, given his desperate attempts to learn my identity, given his fanaticism, and given his penchant for guns and hunting, I ask you: Should I feel uneasy? Levine2112 07:36, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
If you guys want to gang up on me ont he Wikiquette page, that is fine. It will just demonstrate your tactics. You have not pointed to one instance of name-calling from me. I have pointed to a litany of attacks. My edits have done nothing but balance out bias in the articles. Fyslee and his crew of sceptics have added bias with venom all over. They have a clear antichiropractic agenda, going so far as posting antichiropractic propaganda on articles as seemingly unrelated as the Oxymoron page. Fyslee and his team have also posted links all over Wikipedia to the antichiropractic website that they run in order to boost link popularity for Google Page Rank - a practice that is highly frowned upon here at Wikipedia. And before you start denying it, I would like to point you all to a section of Fyslee's anti-chiropractic chatboard entitled "Upping Google's Chirotalk rating" where Fyslee clearly answers the question of boosting site PageRank:
Yes, Fyslee. We certainly do get the picture.
I have not threatened anyone. I have not called anyone anything derrogatory (since being warned about that just after I started making edits on Wikipedia). I have not actively sought out a cabal of other users to gang up on users with whom I have disagreement. I have not abused Wikipedia to push my agenda or promote my website. Can Fyslee and company say the same? No. He has threatened users and accused them of vandalism fust for making edits that he doesn't agree with [30]. He continues to call me juvenille names (as recently as today on this article where he called me thin-skinned) here. He has tried to create a cabal of users to gang up on me and others [31] [32]. He has used Wikipedia as a soapbox to push an agenda that goes far beyond the reaches of Wikipedia - he maintains and moderates several antichiropractic websites. Finally, he has used Wikipedia as a tool to boost the Page Rank to these sites of his. What do you call it when a user is using your IP address to find out where you live and demanding that I reveal my name to him? I call that stalking.
I will continue to user Wikiquette Alerts to post Fyslee's infractions. I hope his behavior improves. Levine2112 19:57, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Problem user IP: 207.235.176.127 making random childish edits on several pages. ex: Turtle article, replacing "turtles" with "kitties" [43]
User:Adam_Holland has made over 30 edits in the last two days to the article Alexis Carrel which are heavily biased and give undue weight to one side of an issue by burying the article in a sea of quotations that come from dubious sources. The article (now) lacks a sympathetic tone, as required by WIkipedia, as well as deliberately downplaying the one earlier edit I made to the article about the verifiable medical accomplishments of the subject, done, in my view, in order to defame him. Discussions noting ALL of these positions has resulted in being accused of "attacking" this person. I've been questioned "Whey do you care about this guy?" and have been accused of sharing some of the article's subject's more aberrant views (which for the record include early on in his career supporting the idea of euthanasia for the insane.) It is clear that the User has a bias against the subject, which I tried to explain to him means he must take extra care not to slant articles in one direction. I am not ready to do a revert/edit war with this guy, and I need guidance on how to proceed. Nhprman 23:56, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Potential Edit War developing on the Sri Lanka page between two users. I feel they need an outside perspective to help settle things 01:21, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
Many users ganging up together in order to prevent anyone from adding NPOV to a terribly POV extended set of religious articles. This specific complaint is in regard to behaviour encountered at the main, or hub, article, though the problem persists for all sub articles as well. I am a special target right now, as their tactics to try to make me give up and go away haven't worked as they usually do with others interested in NPOVing this article. The editors in question insist that hub article go into explicit detail of positive views of subject, while mentioning a very limited number of negative views in passing (in such a way that they are difficult to notice), ignoring most of the past and present negative views, and confining all elaboration of negative views to sub pages, occasionally creating hard-to-find forks.
Main: Joseph Smith, Jr.; Relevant Talk: "allowed to find" the plates, This Article is Quite Biased; Relevant User Talk: bcatt:Joseph Smith, Jr., Storm Rider:npov dispute, bcatt:npov dispute, Trödel:npov dispute
During this dispute, Storm Rider and Trödel both censored their own talk pages of the discussion, and Trödel also attempted to censor my talk page. As evidenced on the talk pages, I tried discussion first before seeking help, but I think I tried discussion for too long, as the history is now incredibly daunting to wade through, and an equally daunting task for me to organize here in a logical way, but I will do my best.
I have tried to format this request in many ways, using reference links to all the specific edits and such, but because the entire discussion is the problem (not just certain parts or a certain person), it becomes extremely lengthly. In this, my fifth attempt to find a way to format it, I think I will just summarize the major points, and allow reviewers to just look at the whole discussion at a fewer links, rather than linking to every single separate comment.
A comment was left a month ago by Euchrid regarding npov concerns ("allowed to find" the plates) which was ignored by those heavily involved in the article. This was later commented on by Rense, who was in agreement, but it still did not receive any attention. Another comment (This Article is Quite Biased [44]) was left by 128.125.118.151 shortly before I made my first edit to the article and was responded to immediatly after I made this article edit. I mention it in this way because this article is watched very closely, and anything that is not "approved" by those watching gets immediate action. My suspicion, and note, I am admitting it is my suspicion, is that it would have been ignored had an edit not been made by a someone new to the article (my edit mentioned above), or else that it was responded to because 128. identified themself as exmormon, which is a group that comes under heavy fire at this and related article.
My actions included:
After a while I started having a lot of difficulty remaining civil. At this point I listed the article's talk page on the RfC, Cunado19 came to see if (he?) could help out, and I left a comment describing why I listed it.
Storm Riders actions included:
After Canudo left a comment inquiring into the problem that help is needed with and I responded, Storm Rider then responds with the implication that the "evidence" (the ongoing debate) will show me to be a liar, makes a justification for his behaviour, claims that I have ignored responses to my concerns, represents my idea of creating an equal representation of all views within the editing community on the article as a ridiculous and unheard of load of crap, characterizes me as nothing but "something to be endured", and otherwise tries to present a negative characterization of me to Cunado.
Trödels actions include:
Cookiecaper swoops in to reprimand me for becoming annoyed, accusing me of incivility and personal attacks (which may be true, I have reread my comment several times and am not quite sure if it is either of these things). Although, even though I don't deny that I was certainly mean, I was not unprovoked (no, this is not a justification, I am NOT saying that I am allowed be mean if I am provoked), and he did not bother to reprimand Storm Rider for his repetitive attacks and incivility throughout the entire debate. Then turns around and personally attacks me by saying that my edits "suck", while also dismissing every concern I have voiced in a blanket comment, and claims that there was no need to reprimand anyone else for incivility or personal attacks, and distorts my suggestion for evening out contributing views (ie: regulating that there is equal represetation from all sides) by implying that I have suggested to ban ALL religious people from the article [62]. Then, when I make an edit with a summary making it clear that I expect the same treatment as others in regard to my edits, he accuses me of trying to own the article (in other words, others can prevent me from editing and not be owning the article, but I cannot expect my edits to be reviewed properly or else I am owning the article - I have to discuss proposed edits (and will indefinitely be shot down and therefore never have any input to the article), but others can remove my edits without the same proposal and discussion process?) [63]. States that although the others would indeed be wrong in specifically removing my edits, he doesn't care and he sides with them by default, also admits that he won't examine disputed statements by the others because he sides with them by default [64].
Sorry this is so long, as I said, I let it go on far too long and should have sought help much sooner. bcatt 01:28, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
I want to clear up a concern I am having with the page H. William DeWeese. User 209.158.227.190 has twice gone in and deleted material critical of the subject with no discussion or notice. The material was deleted on January 31 and February 13. I would much rather avoid an edit/revert war. In my opinion, the information is factual and supported by a link to a reputable news source. Not sure how best to avoid going in and reverting the deletions every two weeks. If the user wants to discuss these changes, I am sure we can entertain his/her concerns.

Storm Rider continues to harrass me, making more personal attacks and incorrectly labelling me as a troll (as a form of personal attack) (near the bottom), including making false wikiquette complaints, for two reasons:

Talk:Joseph Smith, Jr. A troll continues to lurk and refuses all cooperative work; only seeks to stir up conflict and dispute.
Admin FCYTravis requested protection on a page to preserve his cuts - he did this after I offered to address his sourcing concerns on the Talk page and asked for guidance. I feel his actions were emotionally driven in that FCYTravis was using language like "fuck" and "stupid" in the comments. While he called on another admin to place the Protected template, I feel he had the advantage of a "connection" in this process, and the Third Party admin ignored the pleas of other users to take the inclusive approach to developing the article when he placed the protected tag after FYCTravis's cuts. I've left messages with all parties involved requesting Unprotection (pointing to the discussion on the Talk page), but no one seems to be responding. -- Pansophia 08:44, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
There is a minor edit war going on in the Earl of Stirling article. An anonymous user (who claims to be the actual Earl of Stirling) keeps adding unverified information to the article (and deleting wiki links in the process). Discussion of this started on the anonymous user's talk page. Now, an identical edit was made to the page by a logged in user (who appears to have nothing to do with the conflict) with a false edit summary claiming the revision was meant to "wikify a bit..."

Was I wrong to make this vote in the original AfD vote for Spinnwebe? As mentioned here, I used to be a contributor to the site before I was asked to leave (mainly for being excessively annoying). When I made the original AfD vote, I thought I was being objective in calling the original article "not encyclopedic", but now that I've been accused of not being objective, I'd like to get an outside opinion on whether I should have voted at all. It's not like my vote would make a difference in the current AfD, since I abstained, but I wanted to make a check within the existing Wikipedia process guidelines. -- Elkman 23:34, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
If not, I don't think there's anything wrong about voting either way. For the record I'd like to say I haven't been here long, so it might just be that I'm inexperienced in the way things usually go around this place, however, that also presents me with the opportunity to look at this particular vote without prejudice, because I wasn't around to be annoyed by you either. Personally I think anyone who would take the time to ask this, in the manner that you do, can't be all that bad - and perhaps the one who made the comment could be mistaken allthogheter. -- Almgren 00:44, 24 February 2006 (CET)

Like the anonymous guy above, I’ve been struggling with user:Siddiqui too. It all started at the Jamaat-e-Islami page. The page was Protected by admin RoyBoy due to " Revert war between User:Siddiqui and User:Yahya01". Obviously the edit war was getting silly, but I'm a contributor to that page too. I had attempted a reasonable discussion. I tried Siddiqui again but I became involved in the most bizarre exchange. You can see it here. He made rash judgments about me that are totally incorrect & he is impossible to communicate with. I initially contacted RoyBoy about it but unfortunately he's ill, so he asked me to take it to village pump, which I have. So the page protection/content dispute issue will hopefully be dealt with there. I’ve come here because I’m being harassed by him. Later, I made a misguided attempt at creating the category "Wikipedians_censored_by_Islamist_editors" which was deleted here. Though it was foolish, I did have the best of intentions when creating that category. However, Siddiqui had been watching me & in a childish tit-for-tat response he created "Category:Wikipedians censored by Zionist editors" and "Category:Wikipedians censored by Hindutva editors". He has been anonymously vandalizing another page that I work on. If you look here it is explained. You can see that it is definitely him when you compare this & this. I’m being taunted but I don’t want to get involved in mindless squabbles. How do I deal with this? Veej 17:20, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Mel Etitis ( talk · contribs) has been violating Manual of Style guidelines on respect for different English usage conventions and has been making personal attacks on another editor.
The editor originally noted that ME had made an edit to an article on an American athlete that was replaced a factual term with an incorrect one. She changed the disputed term to a neutral word and left a short explanation in the article edit summary. ME left a message on her talk page arguing with the explanation. The editor responded to the comment, explained her reasoning, and asked ME not to argue with her on the matter. In spite of numerous requests to cease communication, ME has continued to leave messages on the editor's Talk Page, calling her "unpleasant" and accusing her of making personal attacks. Furthermore, he began commenting on a threaded discussion the editor was having with another Wikipedian which bore no relation whatsoever to the dispute.
ME has also ignored several attempts by two editors to explain that his edit was inappropriate.
Dispute is located at: [87] and entry above. Edited to add: ME has now started an entirely new userpage devoted to the dispute and used the Talk page there to further accuse the editor of being hostile and leveling personal attacks. Link to this page is found within the discussion. Because I feel that the conflict has escalated with the creation of this attack page, I have created a Request for Comment. I don't know if I should leave this Alert here or delete it?

Smacksoftruth ( talk · contribs) has in the past two days begun a series of edits on The Gnostic Movement, which other editors have seen as violating NPOV and NOR, and have thus reverted. A few changes may be of worth, but the user makes changes in streams of tiny edits. In the course of half an hour, Smacksoftruth made 9 edits to the article. As such, it is very difficult to discern if any of the edits can be kept, and reversion seems the only practical recourse. Also of interest is Talk:The Gnostic Movement, where Smacksoftruth left a rant condemning the deletion of his/her edits. I realize the user is new, but the beligerent attitude and refusal to compromise is a problem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mistercow ( talk • contribs) 18:07, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

L.A. Times reporter Roy Rivenburg, who was sued for defamation by Thomas three years before his death at age 90, keeps deleting information challenging his POV regarding Thomas' exhaustively documented WWII history from the main article He has also posted information under the heading "The Myth of Michel Thomas" on the discussion page.

Tom Harrison has repeatedly deleted my valid work, in order to push his personal POV into the article about the Collapse of the World Trade Center. Specifically, I have attempted to add material about molten metal, and metalurgical reports. This material is referenced to sources which Tom Harrison himself has agreed are "reputable", e.g. the FEMA report.
I hereby repeat and reallege that Tom Harrison has vandalized my work. I believe that his deletions are founded in bad faith, because Tom Harrison is evidently well aware of WP rules, specifically NPOV. I too would appreciate it if someone not involved could have a look.

The writer of the aritcle linked below does the same thing as the post above me mentions (refering to edits as vandalism and asking to be able to freeze them out), and, well, if I am understanding the rules here, please just go to the following links and reveiew all of the notes. thank you. I will keep checking in for a reply.
The factual errors are serious and the writer's attitude disturbing. He appears to have a history of conflict on this sight and has been repremanded by editors for blatant bias and hostile language in his srticles, etc.

I have posted talk items to discuss this issue with Duncharris however as he seems to have a history of this sort of thing in many articles I dont hold out much hope of reaching an agreement. What options are open to deal with a wikipedia admin that routinely abuses his position
On Talk:Mail-order bride, editors have been trying to decide whether to remove or keep two sections--Demographics and Personal anti-fraud measures, which appear to violate original research and other policies. A long dispute has arisen over the factual accuracy of the demographics section, but the entire dispute ignores whether or not the section is original research, which was the original question. A contribution from someone who understands the policy on original research would be much appreciated. There's a vote going on here.

Ace Class Shadow has been putting down other editors in his edit summaries and talk page messages.

George Money has been reporting hundreds of users valid external links and information on different pages he has bookmarked as vandalism. He himself has been considered a "vandal" and has been warned and banned several times from many organizations and sites. He is overall a "spammer" and needs to be stopped. Information and External Links that deserve to be displayed on the wikipedia sites are not being displayed to the public because of this user. Consider banning him from wikipedia permanently. [ Examples of George Money being accused of being a "vandal"]
Could someone please look at the problem on Laura Ingraham involving user Haizum? The history of the dispute is spelled out on the Talk page, as well as (unfortunately) my own User page, where Haizum has left several profane messages (now deleted but part of the history). On the Talk page, Haizum is attributing quotes to me which are false and defamatory. I have made thousands of edits on Wikipedia and have never encountered something like this. What can be done? Sandover 20:18, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Sandover is misrepresenting my comments and more importantly, POV pushing in the Laura Ingraham article despite repeated (and deleted) attempts to introduce context. I embrace his request to involve an Administrator. Haizum 21:00, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
This user has vandalized several articles [134] with juvinile remarks and has intentionally submitted false information for three months. Some of the user's most blatant vandalism include edits to John Kerry's article [135], Homosexuality [136], Meat [137] and BMW [138]. That is only a small sample of the vandalism caused by this user. The user has been warned several times but the IP address continues go to unbanned. This is a serious offender who does not give impression of stopping any time soon.
I tried to talk to him. I tried to mitigate it through arbitration but nothing seems to work.
He tends to post smoke screens about the issue at hand and to be honest I think most people there are either sick of the issue or are just ignoring the whole thing which is what he wants.
He has lied numerous times and have personally attacked me on more than one occasion starting with an post of user GraemeL s talk page.
I am not sure who to contact with this. But would like someone to make a decision about this soon.

Calgacus made several incivil comments in regards to people that have different opinion: [147] ::: It's a Polish nationalist masturbation, that's why. When another user commented his remarks he replied: [148] I don't think my comments in this respect were overly harsh. You have to understand that for eastern Europeans the English language is like a international ethnic property court, putting the name in one language claims ownership for that ethnic group, and gets one over their rivals. That's why all those Ukrainian nationalists want to rename the Russophone city of Kiev Kyiv on English wiki, but don't give two craps what its name is in other languages; and why the same people who were propping up the Polish name Władysław II Jagiełło were going around calling Vilnius Wilno. -- Molobo 16:16, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

On
Talk:Prussian_Blue_(duo), a user by the name of
Overthrow, in the course of an as-yet unresolved dispute over a claim in the article
Prussian Blue (duo) regarding the band's Holocaust denial, has begun to make offensive accusations and insinuations against the other editors of the article. He has been
repeatedly
warned to remain civil on Wikipedia. His comments on the article talk page do not specifically target an editor but accuse all editors who oppose his views of "obsessing over these two young girls" and "cyber stalking" them. Overthrow has responded by
insulting the editor who welcomed him to Wikipedia. I am in the process of composing a reply to his substantive points and have no desire to be put in the false position of defending myself or other editors against his odious insinuations. He clearly won't listen to me on the subject of civility. Could someone else please try explaining to him why ad hominem arguments are inappropriate here? Thanks,

Maddyfan ( talk · contribs) has performed several wholesale reverts of edits made by Extraordinary Machine ( talk · contribs) to article Christina Aguilera ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), violating the 3RR in the process. Aside from reverting edits related to an NPOV dispute and whether a section of the article is too detailed (currently being discuss on talk), Maddyfan has rolled back removal of uncited material and MoS/formatting corrections. She seems to have a misunderstanding of the WP:OWN policy, as seen by comments such as "We will boot your butt right out of here!", "please edit again, so we can just boot you", "You come here first, discuss and WE will decide what to do. Not YOU"; she has also falsely accused Extraordinary Machine of vandalism. Maddyfan is generally incivil, and personal attacks directed towards Extraordinary Machine include "don't be ridiculous" and "Get lost". Generally, she seems unwilling to work collaboratively with other editors. 18:27, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
A heated discussion over the security of the networking application Hamachi has been ongoing at the Talk:Hamachi page. One editor is take a strong stand against the security of Hamachi on what could be seen as unfair grounds as his major concerns are not necessarily Hamachi-specific. The other editor is involved with the company developing Hamachi thus make POV balance tricky. A diversity of opinion would greatly benefit the resolution of these differences of opinion.21:18, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Ancient Anguish rapidly approaching a revert war. Two users (1 registered, 1 anon) have posted edits to the main article which are highly critical of the game structure and administrative policies. Two registered users have reverted the edits (or re-worded them to be more neutral) for not being NPOV. The first two have then continued to revert their disputed edits back, claiming attempts to exclude or reword their edits amount to "vandaliz[ing] by proponents of the game." A neutral NPOV opinion would be appreciated to prevent a revert war. Some discussion on talk page, although last revert by anon user was not discussed. 17:57, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
User:Bank Action Group (account created today, and probably connected with anon edits under User:81.157.159.200) has been adding sections and external links to the following UK bank articles Abbey (bank), Lloyds TSB, NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland and Barclays Bank. The links are to the Bank Action Group website and the text details their standpoint in a relatively unimportant real world dispute over the application of the UK Consumer Credit Act. I feel that I have too much involvement in the subject to get too involved, but feel that these edits are very close to WP:AUTO and WP:EL, and perhaps give undue prominence to the issue. Opinions and suggestions welcomed. Many thanks 00:02, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

User:Doright Has reverted three times in less than 24 hours. He continues to insist on adding a category to the Martin Luther category list that has been discussed and removed many times. This is a regular pattern of behavior. Invitations to discuss, and other such remedies have not proven successful. Many of the editors on the Martin Luther page are tired of the fact that Doright apparently is allowed, with impunity, to launch personal attacks and revert like this with impunity. Efforts to have admins deal with this have not produced positive change. A ban is in order. Ptmccain 11:16, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
User:Cfvh causes disruption in his zeal to personal attacks, and attempts to influence AfD votes and processes with improper accusations, witness the freshest reasonoing of his for wholesale deletions: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scottish pedigree of Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar where Cfvh uses following reasons for deletion of article: "...was created by a user with a penchant for moving articles and creating peculiar redirects and articles...." In anyone's objective opinion, such accusations do not belong to reasons of AfD, and moreover are just personal attacks, but Cfvh has presumably recently found AfD process as his tool, apparently to insult other editors. A long block for Cfvh would be in order, so he can contemplate his behavior, style, and how disruptive such are for Wikipedia processes such as AfD. ObRoy 16:19, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Rjensen ( talk · contribs) removed sourced material from Alexander Hamilton, alleging a pro-slavery POV. [153]. He repeated on the talk page that Pmanderson ( talk · contribs) was a pro-slavery editor.
The disputed text summarizes some of Hamilton's views, as expressed in this letter; Pmenderson/Septentrionalis does not agree with Hamilton, and has said so. [154], last paragraph of diff. Jensen replied that pro-slavery agitators would have minimized Hamilton's work, so Septentrionalis must be one of them. [155].
This personal attack [156], by itself, does not warrant a Request for Comment, so it is here. If any light can be shed on the underlying content disputes, which are discussed at some length on Talk:Alexander Hamilton, it will be welcome.
Anonymous user 24.0.194.179 ( talk • contribs) is adding to Supercomputer brief mentions about supercomputers that can supposedly perform a petaflop or better (making it the fastest supercomputer yet).

The only sources provided are short, uninformative technology blog articles. Further, he/she at one point blanked out the entire section to mention a new (untested) Japanese supercomputer, and also removed my comments on the talk page discussing the edits.

[177] I know Sean has had some temper problems in the past, and I'm asking for an admin's help to determine if this is more of the same. If so, his incivility (he should know better) and his use of an anonymous address to mask bad behavior needs to be noted. Rklawton 18:49, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
New user Terminal emulator (previously 86.136.0.145) is unhappy with the existing reference sources in the Driving on the left or right article. He repeatedly inserts an excessive 165 {{fact}} tags into the article, sometimes more than once in the same sentence. Verifiable sources of reference for the article are already cited in the article's reference section (in accordance with Wikipedia policy), but Terminal emulator believes that this is insufficient and that 165 separate citations are needed on every statement. Terminal emulator has failed to check the sources that are already quoted in the article, particularly the Rule of the Road book by Peter Kincaid, which is probably the most authoritative and comprehensive source of reference on this topic and which supports many of the 165 statements to which Terminal emulator has appended {{fact}} tags. An unwillingness to obtain a copy of a cited reference source is no excuse to litter an article with {{fact}} tags, so I and other contributors have several times reverted Terminal emulator's insertions of 165 {{fact}} tags, and explained why on the article's Talk page, but he persists with this in the false belief that he is following Wikipedia policy. In his latest contribution, he has refrained from re-inserting his 165 {{fact}} tags, but has instead listed many statements that he is questioning, despite not having checked the cited sources first. He is also starting to delete statements that are backed up by cited reference sources without checking them first. Please could some admins contribute to the discussion on the article's Talk page in order to resolve this dispute. Thanks. NFH 18:42, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
User:Gaardbo has left rather ruse and abusive comments on my User talk:Captain scarlet; HERE. I have removed unsourced edits from Nivå ( THEN) due to the lack of substantiable information given concerning local events. User:Gaardbo has nearly only contributed to Nivå; contribs and has so far added no edit summary. Could admins please explain to this user the benefits of Wiketiquette, the advantage of edit summaries and adding sources to unverifiable information. thanks.

Gay Cdn is a new user who is a self-described "deletionist". Some individuals have called to his attention that, in their opinions, his own behavior in doing so is less than civil and may itself be action outside of the standards of civility of wikipedia. 14:21, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
The problem here is less about content than about KV’s persistent attribution of motives to editors who disagree with his edits (generally editors object that KV's edits lack V RS, or contain OR). For example:
Gleng [195] [196] "I know you have your own biases, and those can also be seen from your edits" [197]
Kenosis [198] "is politically motivated...." [199] and needs a nap or an aspirin? [200]title=Talk:Pseudoscience&diff=prev&oldid=69757865
Jim Butler “it is very clear what your particular bias is" [201], "he is not a legitimate editor" [202], [203], [204]; he (and members of a certain group) is “fanatical” [205]
Gleng 12:10, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
I find KV's edits well researched. This attack by the usual bunch of pseudoscientists ganging up with the support of a man who claims to be an independent scientist is deplorable. Mccready 14:21, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
KV does excellent research, but takes it too far in creating WP:OR. Anyone trying to convinve him otherwise is automatically a conspirator in a chiropractic conspiracy.

The article on 'deindustrialization' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deindustrialization is awful. It only refers to a range of very eccentric / radical views on this subject, and proffers little evidence or support for its arguments. Could we invite an economist who works on this subject to submit an alternative? As it stands, an article of such poor quality is almost enough to send me scurrying back to Palgrave and Brittanica!
This editor, Pak434, has engaged in continuing rapid reverts of edits at Tom Swift, Jr. without edit summary or explanation. He has no User Page. Affected editor has made several requests for dicussion ( Talk:Tom Swift, Jr.} with no response, though the reverts continue. Pak434 may be the same person as User:MookiesDad who has been active in removing the same material from Tom Swift, which is now listed on RfC (no comments as of this date).

Yogyakarta and related pages which stem from a DAB page has increased the level of PA's between editors. It needs some mediation between the DAB creator and the editors who request for a reversion of the DAB page.

Tipu Sultan and Talk:Tipu Sultan are facing a prolonged edit war, with some quite heated words flying around on whether the subject of the article was an islamic fanatic or not, anti kannada / anti hindu or not, a despot or not. Most of the disputed edits are from two or three editors, who have been reverting edits wholesale and abusing the other editors on that page for their views. Secondary importance, but probably significant for article quality - their english isn't really good or grammatical either. Might be worth a look. 10:25, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
History of Hinduism and Talk:History of Hinduism are also facing a prolonged war of insults and ethnic/religious attacks from one user using a sock farm of 3 puppets.Despite attempts by many moderate users to reason with his Neo-Busddhist POV, he continues to hatemonger across the board (see my talk page for more attacks). perhaps some advice and mediation of cool heads and impartial pbservers is in order.

The owner of the linked page (who I think is our vandal) neither knows to differ a spurge from a cactus nor knows to spell the name of the only plant shown. This is absolutely poor quality and not worth any link. 17:29, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
User:Storyteller15 is beginning to get nasty. After vandalizing Ann Coulter, he made a quick "I was just testing!", and deleted the warning that was posted by the person catching him on it. However, after I caught him vandalizing George Steinbrenner, I restored the warning and left http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:Storyteller15&diff=79414577&oldid=79414533] talk box. He then turned around and slapped the warning template on my own Talk Box and claimed he informed the admins of my "juvenile behavior". 16:49, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

There seems to be a tight closed shop operating on Brahma_Kumaris_World_Spiritual_University where only a highly critical view of the organisation is allowed to prevail. Most recently comments of other users on the talk page are being heavily re-written and even deleted mainly by User:195.82.106.244, who seems to be pretty-much running the show, on the basis that they are a personal attack, although there is at least one case of a factual post by User:84.13.205.142 being deleted (now re-instated). Check out the Talk history. There is a total lack of cilivity on the talk page with some clear personal attacks taking place and along with much political ranting. 08:29, 7 October 2006 (UTC) There is now an edit war taking place over the NPOV box. 04:58, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
User:203.214.50.225 has made multiple reversions to edits I have made to the Johnny Newman article. I initiated dispute resolution by questioning him/her about this on his/her talk page, User talk:203.214.50.225. I have requested that the user explain his/her reversions on the article's talk page. Thus far, I have received no response on the talk page. The user has responded by making repeated unsigned comments on my user talk page User talk:Sugar Daddy, and vandalizing my user page User:Sugar Daddy. After I pointed out to the user that this behavior was against WP:CIVIL and WP:TPG, the conduct has been repeated. Also, based on pattern of edits, I believe this unsigned user may be a sockpuppet of User:Downwards. Please advise! Sugar Daddy 20:02, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Another user is monitoring my edits on several pages, adding spurious or incorrect information and failing to reply to my rationales for adding or altering content. The user also frequently makes comments which I find irritating, and deliberately provocative. I am so frustrated by this I am having trouble not including profanity in my responses. Also uses wikipedia proceedures improperly and punitively - peer reviews and request for deletion specifically. Examples are found on the Barbara Hambly biography page, and Cat's Claw. See talk pages as well as diffs over the past couple days. There is an unpleasant history going back several months. My own conduct in previous interactions was far less than perfect, I have been trying to improve it over the past couple weeks after a warning regarding personal attacks. I would appreciate comments on my own behaviour as well. 16:55, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Stevewk's comments (some of them are unsigned) are highly offensive, in my opinion. Thank you.
[ [210]]Unregistered user is repeatedly adding negative criticsms to a BLP article, many of which are not referenced, poorly referenced, or derivative of online articles that do not even talk about the subject. I have attempted to reach out to this person to come to some sort of consensus, but they have labeled me a "Dave Ramsey Lover" and simply re-add their edits. According to the Wikipedia:BLP policy page, negative material that is poorly sourced must be deleted immediately. I have brought this issue to that board, and they agreed with my position. However, this person continues adding these points. Can I get a little help here I guess? I'm not sure what to do at this point.-- Arkcana 21:11, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

I am adding statements which I believe to be true and of common knowledge. HeBhagawan sees they are removed under one or other pretext, one of them being asking for citations whereas he ignores my pointing out other similar un-sourced statements. Apandey jumps in with incivil comments against me. I am also subjected to incivil intimidations by HeBhagawan and Dab. Dab being admin, has commented that my edits were "worse than worthless" to add fuel to the fire. He has asserted that he has no knowledge of the subject "Hinduism" and commented incivil as HeBhagawan and others were against me. The attempt of HeBhagawan appears to monopolise the article. Apandey has no contribution to the article. Apandey's only contribution is incivil comments against me on discussion page. I request to check my edits by a person of knowledge of Hinduism so far as statements falling under true and common knowledge, the incivility issue can be checked by any. I suspect sock puppeteering. Swadhyayee 02:56, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks Kylu. I wish that you would have commented on certain issues to prevent bitterness rising since there were lot of allegations against me that my English is poor and full of grammatical errors, it changes the sense in opposite direction, I am not listening to others and so on.

User:FunkyFly is constantly avoiding various Wikipedia rules (poor sourcing or no sourcing at all, no explanations for the changes, using unlicenced or poorly licenced images, support of certain political agendas, mistreating several articles as his/her own private personal web pages, incl. biographies of living persons etc..). Particulary he/she is abusing the following articles: Kiro Gligorov, ASNOM, Ilinden uprising and many other articles mostly related to Balkan issues (meanwhile that list of abused articles is growing bigger). All the attempts for a serious discussion and a peaceful concensus have failed. A suggestion from my side for seeking "third opinion" and sort of arbitration by an invited informal mediator (experienced and relevant Wikipedia user from a third country) was disregarded by the user in question in a very arrogant manner below every standard of civility (link: HERE). The user in question adds highly questionable statements (to the articles) which are not supported by any reliable source, except in some cases, with sources such as: websites of certain radical political parties and document scans issued by a certain state which was an ally of the Third Reich during the Second world war etc. Also the user mentioned above offten attempts to defocus discussions from their main topic by using cynical statements, irrelevant informations, out-of-context quotes, mild personal attacks etc. NOTE: My behaviour may have been also questionable in certain cases and Im ready to be sanctioned accordingly if needed. But, rules should not be imposed in a selective way. -- Vbb-sk-mk 22:24, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
User:Patchouli is on a vandalism spree on Iran-related articles to advance his/her political agenda. He/She has been asked to invlove in ongiong discussions before further edits, yet he/she continues to ignores discussions, and his/her edit discriptions includes only personal attacks of others being on mullah's payroll. For example, although there is an ongoing discussion as to whether include mideast monarchs and Khamenei in the list of dictators, and general consensus is negative, the discussion is ignored by him/her, and the user includes questionable sources with certain political agendas as his/her sources.

User:67.94.205.21 has been vandalizing seemingly random sites, as well as frequently maliciously editing the websites of Seattle-area high schools. Acts include rascist slurs, personal adverts, intentional garbling/misspelling of words, and malicious fact changing. Please look to his or her user contributions for a guide to said violations of etiquette, as in my search I found almost all recent edits were vandalism attempts. In light of the many recent vandalisms on the part of this user, I placed a vandalism warning on their user discussion page, but there are many others like it. I do not think that will deter the user. Please see [211] 09:15, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
User:Grover_Cleveland has been a source of mild to moderate harrassment. Besides his constant sarcasm, he has followed me around, editing pages right after I edit them, pages that previously he never went near. I edit so much as a sentence -- there he is, right after. Articles that he previously never showed one iota of interest in. "Stalking" is probably too strong a word; for my part I will just ignore him. But I thought you should know that one of your active editors is behaving this way. Thank you for your time.

I would like to issue a complaint against administrator Lucky 6.9. He refuses to offer a satisfactory explanation for why he's deleting my additions to Wikipedia. In addition, he's issuing threats to me.
I tried to add an entry on Sides the movie on the 24th, and he deleted it within 2 minutes, claiming that because I did not have other people contributing to the page, it was not a sufficient addition. This, of course, is a ludicrous claim, given the fact that the entry had been up for less than two minutes. It obviously takes time for other people to contribute to a new page. I asked Lucky why he twice deleted my new entries, and he simply responded with a threat to suspend my editing privileges. If you go to his page, you'll see that I'm not the only person who has complained about his editing. I would appreciate a response from an administrator who is civil and mature enough to actually address my question. Thank you.
I would like to issue a complaint against User:Kafziel. He continues to delete my additions to Wikipedia. (Social Investing, Fanniue Mae and Business Ethics) In addition, he has threatened to have me banned from Wiki.
He seems to believe my additions are spam, and as he called them once, sneaky spam. I simply don't think they are. In addition to posting links to my websites, I have posted links of relevance to the topics to Congressional testimony on the US Congress and SEC websites. I don't think these can be considered spam. Please advise. Thank you.

I am concerned at the tone used in edit summaries and messages left on talk pages by User:Wandalstouring. I admit I got a little hot and a bit of a mastodon myself before backing off, checking some sources and trying to correct the material, and am now trying to calm down, but will do that best when neutral, outside, others stick their noses in. See edit history and talk page of War horse in particular, both edit summaries and the tone of the edits themselves, as well as tone of edits to cavalry tactics. This individual also left a couple nasty comments on my user talk page that bordered on threatening in tone. I may have stirred the pot at first, I am now going to back off an just calm down now. 22:42, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
There is an ongoing minor edit war on the Nadia Comaneci page. User:Mai Loon and two IP addresses, which seem to be so close as to be the same user, are continually deleting sourced, referenced information from the article. I, and other users, continue to revert back, but the material just gets changed again the next day. It's not major, but it does give the article a weasel-worded slant by removing one side of a controversy involving Comaneci and failing to tell the reader what the conclusion was. The user refuses to even discuss his/her edits; s/he just keeps silently reverting.
I'm not even sure if this is the right place to add this, but I'm not sure how this should be handled. Thus far, I have tried: 1) asking for comments on article's Talk Page; 2) trying to ask the user to justify his/her deletions in the edit summaries; 3) leaving notes on the user/IP address Talk Pages; 4) Taking a break from the article; 5) remmoving material about BOTH sides of the controversy to try to make the user go away. Any thoughts on how to deal with this would be appreciated! DanielEng 08:57, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

User User:Eleemosynary has always been a kind of strident voice on the Rush Limbaugh page. However, recently that user has begun making more personal attacks seen on the talk page. They have not yet gotten to the point where I feel comfortable slapping up template but the constant charges of bias and unfounded attacks against other editors has really soured the discussion. This user also after disagreeing with a few edits went through the article deleting many sections seemingly out of spite. I am relatively new to this kind of behavior so thought I would seek outside assistance especially considering the charged atmosphere. --06:16, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
User:Mr.6661 is contacting people who appear to be fans of Avenged Sevenfold, claiming to be the guitarist from the band. This is obviously not the real person, and I'm hoping something can be done to stop this person from contacting anyone else, and spreading false information about the fans of A7X on the Wiki. I have reason to believe that this person might also be User:Metallifan, although I could be wrong. The account in question has already been approached by various members of Wikipedia and asked to stop his actions, although to no avail. -- Boa Drumm er 07:31, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
There's already a comment about this user above, but User:70.185.125.101 is still leveling personal attacks against users, behaving in an uncivil manner (Example: [217]) and making edits that are inappropriate at best. Several editors have tried to talk to him about this, on both his Talk Page and the articles' Talk Pages, but he's not listening and maintains that he's doing nothing wrong. Most recently he has tried to add sexual content, [218] and links to pornographic films [219] to an article about a children's TV series, and has been openly hostile when the content was removed.

On Neuro-linguistic Programming, I want to make sure my own behaviour is ok here, diff. My edits were attempts to improve the quality of the article. Other than that I really need advice on how to strongly encourage AlanBarnet ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) to use "fact", "dubious" or "quote_required" tags rather than blanket reverts. -- Comaze 04:32, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
User:Abu badali has added
Template:Replaceable fair use templates to several of the images I've uploaded, without following the instructions in the template to notify the original uploader. This, in addition to blanketly adding this tag to what appear to be a wide variety of promotional photos; his user log indicates several hundred edits of exactly the same type, and it appears to me unlikely the user is making any case-by-case determination or using any judgement before making this sweeping edits. If user is not notifying me that my images are now subject to deletion, I'm guessing the same thing is not happening to several hundred other editors.

Re: EFax (fax service).
A user (previously operating under the name User:Haynesj, but now operating anonymously from a small number of IP addresses ) has been for a long time engaging in edit-warring on this page. In January 2006 he requested that the page be protected as it was a registered trademark of his company, J2 Global Communications. (That claim is false, as is shown on the (hopefully) current version of the page). Since then, he has been vociferously demanding that all other users leave the page alone, and has reverted nearly all constructive edits to the page, often calling them vandalism. That small stub article has now had over 150 edits since July 2004. He has recently vandalised Fax server (see [221]) and Efax (disambiguation) (see [222]) by replacing those articles with material about his product alone. He has edited Yac Fax (see [223]) to promote his product. Somebody operating from one of the addresses which he uses (and which is assigned to his company) has vandalised Wireless access point (see [224]). Several people have attempted to discuss matters with him over a long period, but he persists in his activities, claiming that since his company produces the product, he is entitled to control the content of the page.
See some of his discussion at:
He has used the following accounts and IP addresses:

On Wikipedia talk:Ignore all rules, User:Raul654 has failed and refused to apologize for reverting and protecting Wikipedia:Ignore all rules. Rather, he has defended his actions in that they purportedly "led to productive discussion" and that they were purportedly "important to help demistify[sic] the cult of 'ignore all rules.'" Furthermore, he posted a "do not feed the trolls" image, stating that it is "a waste of time to respond to NetEsq." As I stated on the Talk page for IAR, I would have accepted a simple apology for Raul654's initial faux pas, but Raul654 has demonstrated that he doesn't think he did anything wrong and has subsequently chosen to marginalize his critics with passive aggressive behavior rather than respond to them. Similarly, a note that I left on Raul654's User Talk page inviting him to participate in dispute resolution has been ignored. // NetEsq 23:30, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
On the Mark Bilbo biographical article, user Jason Gastrich has attempted to input POV-laden and unseemly commentary in an effort to single out Mr Bilbo for scrutiny and criticism irrelevant to the commentary. Gastrich has a history with Biblo on Usenet newsgroups, especially free.christians and alt.atheism, where they tangled many times. Furthermore, Gastrich was denied a list of atheists from Mr Bilbo's site, used a proxy to get around the protections that had been put up, and took the list, anyway. This was exposed in the groups. Gastrich's attempts to play the system at Wikipedia to force inclusion of his POV into the Bilbo article are detailed at:
And several others. Gastrich has defied at least two and maybe three admins in his zeal to require Wikipedia to represent his POV on the issue, and this is not the first time. See the Wife Swap entry and history for another example. 00:02, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Administrator user:FeloniousMonk is issuing warnings while having conflict-of-interest, is repeatedly making accusations and failing to listen to the subject of the accusation (as well as another admin who can not be accused of bias, as he is on the opposite 'side' of two debates), and is acting in a manner inappropriate to an admin. Attempts at soliciting apology and correction of the error(s) has been met with admonishments that amount to 'go away' and to let "reasonable editors" take over [24] [25]. Several editors are working, with compromise, to come to a consensus on two issues (one nearly resolved [26]) in this particular article but this admin (and a couple others) are merely reverting to a version that goes against both 'sides' of the compromising, insisting that there is consensus where none exists. This complaint is not specific to content, although that is part of the problem, but to the behaviour and conduct of this Admin in particular. Following on the heels of him erroneously reporting me for 3RR the other day, this leads to a pattern of some sort of personal vendetta for reasons known only to himself. I have repeatedly asked him (and the other three who are reverting without showing cause) why 'neutral' errors should be re-introduced but there has been no (substansive) reply to that query. 06:46, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Fyslee is now stalking me. His insults continue. [29] He makes me feel extremely unwelcomed to such a degree that I am hesitant to post any more details about myself on my user page out of fear of giving him more fodder for stalking me. Levine2112 18:50, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your response. I would agree with you if this was only limited to Pseudoscience section, but Fyslee has been following me around Wikipedia, launching into insults about me on his talk page, the Chiropractic article's talk page, and the Oxymoron article's 1#Question talk page, to name but a few. What should I do? Levine2112 23:48, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
MARussellPESE, did you really just insult me on the Wikiquette page by calling me a "true-believer"? That is a derogatory word used by sceptics to characterize who they beleive are weak-minded people that have been duped by pseudoscience. Clearly, you are not an unbiased party here and I suggest you leave this matter to a legitimate System Operator. This is a place to post violations of Wikiquette; not carry on argumentative name-calling.
Now if you would like me to cite specifics, here you go. On this page, Fyslee and friends call me a "prinitive type", a "fool", "stupid", and "thin-skinned". Here he characterizes my contributions as "amateurish", "cheap", "feeble", "weasel", disingenuous, whiny, "oversensitive", "thin-skinned" and cowardly.
MARussellPESE, you point out that I have more complaints about my additions on my talk page that Fyslee has on his. That's because Fyslee resorts to ganging up on me. He frequently posts messages like this on the pages of his cabal to warn them about a new user with beliefs that differ from theirs.
Further, Fyslee leaves messages like this on user's pages that post things that he doesn't agree with:
If you want to press the point about entrance requirements, I can easily and without violating NPOV provide more chiropractic sources that are quite unfavorable. Is that really what you want? Sometimes it's best to be quiet and hope that some things don't get brought into the open. This is one of those times, seen from your viewpoint.
Is that a threat? Sure seems like one. He continues to threaten me with gathering evidence against me and getting me booted from Wikipedia. Here is an example even from SkiptiWiki.
Finally, the actual subject of this entry is found here, where Fyslee calls me a "disgrace", a "joke" and finally makes it clear that he is trying to find out who I am and where I live.
Now given all of these insults, given his desperate attempts to learn my identity, given his fanaticism, and given his penchant for guns and hunting, I ask you: Should I feel uneasy? Levine2112 07:36, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
If you guys want to gang up on me ont he Wikiquette page, that is fine. It will just demonstrate your tactics. You have not pointed to one instance of name-calling from me. I have pointed to a litany of attacks. My edits have done nothing but balance out bias in the articles. Fyslee and his crew of sceptics have added bias with venom all over. They have a clear antichiropractic agenda, going so far as posting antichiropractic propaganda on articles as seemingly unrelated as the Oxymoron page. Fyslee and his team have also posted links all over Wikipedia to the antichiropractic website that they run in order to boost link popularity for Google Page Rank - a practice that is highly frowned upon here at Wikipedia. And before you start denying it, I would like to point you all to a section of Fyslee's anti-chiropractic chatboard entitled "Upping Google's Chirotalk rating" where Fyslee clearly answers the question of boosting site PageRank:
Yes, Fyslee. We certainly do get the picture.
I have not threatened anyone. I have not called anyone anything derrogatory (since being warned about that just after I started making edits on Wikipedia). I have not actively sought out a cabal of other users to gang up on users with whom I have disagreement. I have not abused Wikipedia to push my agenda or promote my website. Can Fyslee and company say the same? No. He has threatened users and accused them of vandalism fust for making edits that he doesn't agree with [30]. He continues to call me juvenille names (as recently as today on this article where he called me thin-skinned) here. He has tried to create a cabal of users to gang up on me and others [31] [32]. He has used Wikipedia as a soapbox to push an agenda that goes far beyond the reaches of Wikipedia - he maintains and moderates several antichiropractic websites. Finally, he has used Wikipedia as a tool to boost the Page Rank to these sites of his. What do you call it when a user is using your IP address to find out where you live and demanding that I reveal my name to him? I call that stalking.
I will continue to user Wikiquette Alerts to post Fyslee's infractions. I hope his behavior improves. Levine2112 19:57, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Problem user IP: 207.235.176.127 making random childish edits on several pages. ex: Turtle article, replacing "turtles" with "kitties" [43]
User:Adam_Holland has made over 30 edits in the last two days to the article Alexis Carrel which are heavily biased and give undue weight to one side of an issue by burying the article in a sea of quotations that come from dubious sources. The article (now) lacks a sympathetic tone, as required by WIkipedia, as well as deliberately downplaying the one earlier edit I made to the article about the verifiable medical accomplishments of the subject, done, in my view, in order to defame him. Discussions noting ALL of these positions has resulted in being accused of "attacking" this person. I've been questioned "Whey do you care about this guy?" and have been accused of sharing some of the article's subject's more aberrant views (which for the record include early on in his career supporting the idea of euthanasia for the insane.) It is clear that the User has a bias against the subject, which I tried to explain to him means he must take extra care not to slant articles in one direction. I am not ready to do a revert/edit war with this guy, and I need guidance on how to proceed. Nhprman 23:56, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Potential Edit War developing on the Sri Lanka page between two users. I feel they need an outside perspective to help settle things 01:21, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
Many users ganging up together in order to prevent anyone from adding NPOV to a terribly POV extended set of religious articles. This specific complaint is in regard to behaviour encountered at the main, or hub, article, though the problem persists for all sub articles as well. I am a special target right now, as their tactics to try to make me give up and go away haven't worked as they usually do with others interested in NPOVing this article. The editors in question insist that hub article go into explicit detail of positive views of subject, while mentioning a very limited number of negative views in passing (in such a way that they are difficult to notice), ignoring most of the past and present negative views, and confining all elaboration of negative views to sub pages, occasionally creating hard-to-find forks.
Main: Joseph Smith, Jr.; Relevant Talk: "allowed to find" the plates, This Article is Quite Biased; Relevant User Talk: bcatt:Joseph Smith, Jr., Storm Rider:npov dispute, bcatt:npov dispute, Trödel:npov dispute
During this dispute, Storm Rider and Trödel both censored their own talk pages of the discussion, and Trödel also attempted to censor my talk page. As evidenced on the talk pages, I tried discussion first before seeking help, but I think I tried discussion for too long, as the history is now incredibly daunting to wade through, and an equally daunting task for me to organize here in a logical way, but I will do my best.
I have tried to format this request in many ways, using reference links to all the specific edits and such, but because the entire discussion is the problem (not just certain parts or a certain person), it becomes extremely lengthly. In this, my fifth attempt to find a way to format it, I think I will just summarize the major points, and allow reviewers to just look at the whole discussion at a fewer links, rather than linking to every single separate comment.
A comment was left a month ago by Euchrid regarding npov concerns ("allowed to find" the plates) which was ignored by those heavily involved in the article. This was later commented on by Rense, who was in agreement, but it still did not receive any attention. Another comment (This Article is Quite Biased [44]) was left by 128.125.118.151 shortly before I made my first edit to the article and was responded to immediatly after I made this article edit. I mention it in this way because this article is watched very closely, and anything that is not "approved" by those watching gets immediate action. My suspicion, and note, I am admitting it is my suspicion, is that it would have been ignored had an edit not been made by a someone new to the article (my edit mentioned above), or else that it was responded to because 128. identified themself as exmormon, which is a group that comes under heavy fire at this and related article.
My actions included:
After a while I started having a lot of difficulty remaining civil. At this point I listed the article's talk page on the RfC, Cunado19 came to see if (he?) could help out, and I left a comment describing why I listed it.
Storm Riders actions included:
After Canudo left a comment inquiring into the problem that help is needed with and I responded, Storm Rider then responds with the implication that the "evidence" (the ongoing debate) will show me to be a liar, makes a justification for his behaviour, claims that I have ignored responses to my concerns, represents my idea of creating an equal representation of all views within the editing community on the article as a ridiculous and unheard of load of crap, characterizes me as nothing but "something to be endured", and otherwise tries to present a negative characterization of me to Cunado.
Trödels actions include:
Cookiecaper swoops in to reprimand me for becoming annoyed, accusing me of incivility and personal attacks (which may be true, I have reread my comment several times and am not quite sure if it is either of these things). Although, even though I don't deny that I was certainly mean, I was not unprovoked (no, this is not a justification, I am NOT saying that I am allowed be mean if I am provoked), and he did not bother to reprimand Storm Rider for his repetitive attacks and incivility throughout the entire debate. Then turns around and personally attacks me by saying that my edits "suck", while also dismissing every concern I have voiced in a blanket comment, and claims that there was no need to reprimand anyone else for incivility or personal attacks, and distorts my suggestion for evening out contributing views (ie: regulating that there is equal represetation from all sides) by implying that I have suggested to ban ALL religious people from the article [62]. Then, when I make an edit with a summary making it clear that I expect the same treatment as others in regard to my edits, he accuses me of trying to own the article (in other words, others can prevent me from editing and not be owning the article, but I cannot expect my edits to be reviewed properly or else I am owning the article - I have to discuss proposed edits (and will indefinitely be shot down and therefore never have any input to the article), but others can remove my edits without the same proposal and discussion process?) [63]. States that although the others would indeed be wrong in specifically removing my edits, he doesn't care and he sides with them by default, also admits that he won't examine disputed statements by the others because he sides with them by default [64].
Sorry this is so long, as I said, I let it go on far too long and should have sought help much sooner. bcatt 01:28, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
I want to clear up a concern I am having with the page H. William DeWeese. User 209.158.227.190 has twice gone in and deleted material critical of the subject with no discussion or notice. The material was deleted on January 31 and February 13. I would much rather avoid an edit/revert war. In my opinion, the information is factual and supported by a link to a reputable news source. Not sure how best to avoid going in and reverting the deletions every two weeks. If the user wants to discuss these changes, I am sure we can entertain his/her concerns.

Storm Rider continues to harrass me, making more personal attacks and incorrectly labelling me as a troll (as a form of personal attack) (near the bottom), including making false wikiquette complaints, for two reasons:

Talk:Joseph Smith, Jr. A troll continues to lurk and refuses all cooperative work; only seeks to stir up conflict and dispute.
Admin FCYTravis requested protection on a page to preserve his cuts - he did this after I offered to address his sourcing concerns on the Talk page and asked for guidance. I feel his actions were emotionally driven in that FCYTravis was using language like "fuck" and "stupid" in the comments. While he called on another admin to place the Protected template, I feel he had the advantage of a "connection" in this process, and the Third Party admin ignored the pleas of other users to take the inclusive approach to developing the article when he placed the protected tag after FYCTravis's cuts. I've left messages with all parties involved requesting Unprotection (pointing to the discussion on the Talk page), but no one seems to be responding. -- Pansophia 08:44, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Was I wrong to make this vote in the original AfD vote for Spinnwebe? As mentioned here, I used to be a contributor to the site before I was asked to leave (mainly for being excessively annoying). When I made the original AfD vote, I thought I was being objective in calling the original article "not encyclopedic", but now that I've been accused of not being objective, I'd like to get an outside opinion on whether I should have voted at all. It's not like my vote would make a difference in the current AfD, since I abstained, but I wanted to make a check within the existing Wikipedia process guidelines. -- Elkman 23:34, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
If not, I don't think there's anything wrong about voting either way. For the record I'd like to say I haven't been here long, so it might just be that I'm inexperienced in the way things usually go around this place, however, that also presents me with the opportunity to look at this particular vote without prejudice, because I wasn't around to be annoyed by you either. Personally I think anyone who would take the time to ask this, in the manner that you do, can't be all that bad - and perhaps the one who made the comment could be mistaken allthogheter. -- Almgren 00:44, 24 February 2006 (CET)

Like the anonymous guy above, I’ve been struggling with user:Siddiqui too. It all started at the Jamaat-e-Islami page. The page was Protected by admin RoyBoy due to " Revert war between User:Siddiqui and User:Yahya01". Obviously the edit war was getting silly, but I'm a contributor to that page too. I had attempted a reasonable discussion. I tried Siddiqui again but I became involved in the most bizarre exchange. You can see it here. He made rash judgments about me that are totally incorrect & he is impossible to communicate with. I initially contacted RoyBoy about it but unfortunately he's ill, so he asked me to take it to village pump, which I have. So the page protection/content dispute issue will hopefully be dealt with there. I’ve come here because I’m being harassed by him. Later, I made a misguided attempt at creating the category "Wikipedians_censored_by_Islamist_editors" which was deleted here. Though it was foolish, I did have the best of intentions when creating that category. However, Siddiqui had been watching me & in a childish tit-for-tat response he created "Category:Wikipedians censored by Zionist editors" and "Category:Wikipedians censored by Hindutva editors". He has been anonymously vandalizing another page that I work on. If you look here it is explained. You can see that it is definitely him when you compare this & this. I’m being taunted but I don’t want to get involved in mindless squabbles. How do I deal with this? Veej 17:20, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

There seems to be a problem with user:Swedenman. He is currently adding the category "humanitarians" arbitrarily, for example see Che Guevara and Muqtada al-Sadr.

Mel Etitis ( talk · contribs) has been violating Manual of Style guidelines on respect for different English usage conventions and has been making personal attacks on another editor.
The editor originally noted that ME had made an edit to an article on an American athlete that was replaced a factual term with an incorrect one. She changed the disputed term to a neutral word and left a short explanation in the article edit summary. ME left a message on her talk page arguing with the explanation. The editor responded to the comment, explained her reasoning, and asked ME not to argue with her on the matter. In spite of numerous requests to cease communication, ME has continued to leave messages on the editor's Talk Page, calling her "unpleasant" and accusing her of making personal attacks. Furthermore, he began commenting on a threaded discussion the editor was having with another Wikipedian which bore no relation whatsoever to the dispute.
ME has also ignored several attempts by two editors to explain that his edit was inappropriate.
Dispute is located at: [87] and entry above. Edited to add: ME has now started an entirely new userpage devoted to the dispute and used the Talk page there to further accuse the editor of being hostile and leveling personal attacks. Link to this page is found within the discussion. Because I feel that the conflict has escalated with the creation of this attack page, I have created a Request for Comment. I don't know if I should leave this Alert here or delete it?

Smacksoftruth ( talk · contribs) has in the past two days begun a series of edits on The Gnostic Movement, which other editors have seen as violating NPOV and NOR, and have thus reverted. A few changes may be of worth, but the user makes changes in streams of tiny edits. In the course of half an hour, Smacksoftruth made 9 edits to the article. As such, it is very difficult to discern if any of the edits can be kept, and reversion seems the only practical recourse. Also of interest is Talk:The Gnostic Movement, where Smacksoftruth left a rant condemning the deletion of his/her edits. I realize the user is new, but the beligerent attitude and refusal to compromise is a problem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mistercow ( talk • contribs) 18:07, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

• See Michel Thomas and associated discussion page. • I'm trying to present a NPOV regarding the World War II service of Michel Thomas, who was decorated with the Silver Star in 2004, sixty years after he was nominated for it while serving with US Army troops in Germany. L.A. Times reporter Roy Rivenburg, who was sued for defamation by Thomas three years before his death at age 90, keeps deleting information challenging his POV regarding Thomas' exhaustively documented WWII history from the main article He has also posted information under the heading "The Myth of Michel Thomas" on the discussion page. I gave up long ago trying to correct his posts, as he would simply change them as soon as I would correct them. How can I resolve this? 24.23.223.51 02:01, 22 April 2006 (UTC)facts@mt.org

Tom Harrison has repeatedly deleted my valid work, in order to push his personal POV into the article about the Collapse of the World Trade Center. Specifically, I have attempted to add material about molten metal, and metalurgical reports. This material is referenced to sources which Tom Harrison himself has agreed are "reputable", e.g. the FEMA report.
I hereby repeat and reallege that Tom Harrison has vandalized my work. I believe that his deletions are founded in bad faith, because Tom Harrison is evidently well aware of WP rules, specifically NPOV. I too would appreciate it if someone not involved could have a look.

I have posted talk items to discuss this issue with Duncharris however as he seems to have a history of this sort of thing in many articles I dont hold out much hope of reaching an agreement. What options are open to deal with a wikipedia admin that routinely abuses his position
On Talk:Mail-order bride, editors have been trying to decide whether to remove or keep two sections--Demographics and Personal anti-fraud measures, which appear to violate original research and other policies. A long dispute has arisen over the factual accuracy of the demographics section, but the entire dispute ignores whether or not the section is original research, which was the original question. A contribution from someone who understands the policy on original research would be much appreciated. There's a vote going on here.

Could someone please look at the problem on Laura Ingraham involving user Haizum? The history of the dispute is spelled out on the Talk page, as well as (unfortunately) my own User page, where Haizum has left several profane messages (now deleted but part of the history).

This user has vandalized several articles [134] with juvinile remarks and has intentionally submitted false information for three months. Some of the user's most blatant vandalism include edits to John Kerry's article [135], Homosexuality [136], Meat [137] and BMW [138]. That is only a small sample of the vandalism caused by this user. The user has been warned several times but the IP address continues go to unbanned. This is a serious offender who does not give impression of stopping any time soon.
I tried to talk to him. I tried to mitigate it through arbitration but nothing seems to work.
He tends to post smoke screens about the issue at hand and to be honest I think most people there are either sick of the issue or are just ignoring the whole thing which is what he wants.
He has lied numerous times and have personally attacked me on more than one occasion starting with an post of user GraemeL s talk page.
I am not sure who to contact with this. But would like someone to make a decision about this soon.

When another user commented his remarks he replied: [148] I don't think my comments in this respect were overly harsh. You have to understand that for eastern Europeans the English language is like a international ethnic property court, putting the name in one language claims ownership for that ethnic group, and gets one over their rivals. That's why all those Ukrainian nationalists want to rename the Russophone city of Kiev Kyiv on English wiki, but don't give two craps what its name is in other languages; and why the same people who were propping up the Polish name Władysław II Jagiełło were going around calling Vilnius Wilno. -- Molobo 16:16, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Prussian Blue (duo) regarding the band's Holocaust denial, has begun to make offensive accusations and insinuations against the other editors of the article. He has been
repeatedly
warned to remain civil on Wikipedia. His comments on the article talk page do not specifically target an editor but accuse all editors who oppose his views of "obsessing over these two young girls" and "cyber stalking" them. Overthrow has responded by
insulting the editor who welcomed him to Wikipedia. I am in the process of composing a reply to his substantive points and have no desire to be put in the false position of defending myself or other editors against his odious insinuations. He clearly won't listen to me on the subject of civility. Could someone else please try explaining to him why ad hominem arguments are inappropriate here? Thanks,

Maddyfan ( talk · contribs) has performed several wholesale reverts of edits made by Extraordinary Machine ( talk · contribs) to article Christina Aguilera ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), violating the 3RR in the process. Aside from reverting edits related to an NPOV dispute and whether a section of the article is too detailed (currently being discuss on talk), Maddyfan has rolled back removal of uncited material and MoS/formatting corrections. She seems to have a misunderstanding of the WP:OWN policy, as seen by comments such as "We will boot your butt right out of here!", "please edit again, so we can just boot you", "You come here first, discuss and WE will decide what to do. Not YOU"; she has also falsely accused Extraordinary Machine of vandalism. Maddyfan is generally incivil, and personal attacks directed towards Extraordinary Machine include "don't be ridiculous" and "Get lost". Generally, she seems unwilling to work collaboratively with other editors. 18:27, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
A heated discussion over the security of the networking application Hamachi has been ongoing at the Talk:Hamachi page. One editor is take a strong stand against the security of Hamachi on what could be seen as unfair grounds as his major concerns are not necessarily Hamachi-specific.

Ancient Anguish rapidly approaching a revert war. Two users (1 registered, 1 anon) have posted edits to the main article which are highly critical of the game structure and administrative policies. Two registered users have reverted the edits (or re-worded them to be more neutral) for not being NPOV. The first two have then continued to revert their disputed edits back, claiming attempts to exclude or reword their edits amount to "vandaliz[ing] by proponents of the game." A neutral NPOV opinion would be appreciated to prevent a revert war. Some discussion on talk page, although last revert by anon user was not discussed. 17:57, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

The links are to the Bank Action Group website and the text details their standpoint in a relatively unimportant real world dispute over the application of the UK Consumer Credit Act. I feel that I have too much involvement in the subject to get too involved, but feel that these edits are very close to WP:AUTO and WP:EL, and perhaps give undue prominence to the issue. Opinions and suggestions welcomed. Many thanks 00:02, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

User:Doright Has reverted three times in less than 24 hours. He continues to insist on adding a category to the Martin Luther category list that has been discussed and removed many times. This is a regular pattern of behavior. Invitations to discuss, and other such remedies have not proven successful. Many of the editors on the Martin Luther page are tired of the fact that Doright apparently is allowed, with impunity, to launch personal attacks and revert like this with impunity. Efforts to have admins deal with this have not produced positive change. A ban is in order. Ptmccain 11:16, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
User:Cfvh causes disruption in his zeal to personal attacks, and attempts to influence AfD votes and processes with improper accusations, witness the freshest reasonoing of his for wholesale deletions: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scottish pedigree of Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar where Cfvh uses following reasons for deletion of article: "...was created by a user with a penchant for moving articles and creating peculiar redirects and articles...." In anyone's objective opinion, such accusations do not belong to reasons of AfD, and moreover are just personal attacks, but Cfvh has presumably recently found AfD process as his tool, apparently to insult other editors. A long block for Cfvh would be in order, so he can contemplate his behavior, style, and how disruptive such are for Wikipedia processes such as AfD. ObRoy 16:19, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Rjensen ( talk · contribs) removed sourced material from Alexander Hamilton, alleging a pro-slavery POV. [153]. He repeated on the talk page that Pmanderson ( talk · contribs) was a pro-slavery editor.
The disputed text summarizes some of Hamilton's views, as expressed in this letter; Pmenderson/Septentrionalis does not agree with Hamilton, and has said so. [154], last paragraph of diff. Jensen replied that pro-slavery agitators would have minimized Hamilton's work, so Septentrionalis must be one of them. [155].

The article about Mark Kirk keeps getting sourced content deleted by a numeric IP address User talk:71.228.10.185 ( | user page | history | links | watch | logs). We've posted notifications to Talk:Mark Kirk ( | article | history | links | watch | logs) that he has broken the three revert rule. If he disagrees with the sourced material, he needs to make his case in the talk page. He does not respond to the talk page comments or our edit comments to that effect.
Request a third opinion on an edit dispute regarding the inclusion of the word "domestic" in the phrase "warrantless domestic spying program" in the article ACLU_v._NSA between User:Dredeyedick, who favors the inclusion, and User:SafeLibraries.org, who keeps deleting the word "domestic" from the article. User:SafeLibraries.org has previously been warned about coming close to violating the WP:3RR 3-Revert Rule with edits to ACLU, and admonished for editing with an "Obsessional point of view" on his talk page. Request outside view of behavior of User:Dredeyedick in this dispute as well. See Discussion in "Serious Bias Evident" section of article discussion page. Thanks.

I feel like User:Seabhcan is using Talk:2006_Qana_airstrike#Category as a soapbox to compare Israel to Nazi Germany over and over instead of discussing the issue in the article. He is an administrator, highest of the high. I'm just an IP address, lowest of the low. I have a registered account but I get scared to use it when dealing with political issues because so much passion is involved. Maybe that was a mistake.

A small matter, I suppose, but... On my User Page I discovered that one of my "user boxes" (for Wikipedians who enjoy bicycling) was somehow replaced by a different one termed a "German Userbox Solution". I don't understand how this practice is taking root or why it's being done. From what I could tell, it looks as though this can happen with any of the user boxes people have put on their personal user pages.-- Joel Russ 14:00, 31 July 2006 (UTC) Joel Russ

Mackan has wandered into article schadenfreude and decided that 3-1/2 years of work on the part of other editors compiling examples of the use of the term in the popular culture is "listcruft" and repeatedly vandalizes the article, despite warnings about vandalism.

[177] I know Sean has had some temper problems in the past, and I'm asking for an admin's help to determine if this is more of the same.

New user Terminal emulator (previously 86.136.0.145) is unhappy with the existing reference sources in the Driving on the left or right article. He repeatedly inserts an excessive 165 {{fact}} tags into the article, sometimes more than once in the same sentence. Verifiable sources of reference for the article are already cited in the article's reference section (in accordance with Wikipedia policy), but Terminal emulator believes that this is insufficient and that 165 separate citations are needed on every statement. Terminal emulator has failed to check the sources that are already quoted in the article, particularly the Rule of the Road book by Peter Kincaid, which is probably the most authoritative and comprehensive source of reference on this topic and which supports many of the 165 statements to which Terminal emulator has appended {{fact}} tags. An unwillingness to obtain a copy of a cited reference source is no excuse to litter an article with {{fact}} tags, so I and other contributors have several times reverted Terminal emulator's insertions of 165 {{fact}} tags, and explained why on the article's Talk page, but he persists with this in the false belief that he is following Wikipedia policy. In his latest contribution, he has refrained from re-inserting his 165 {{fact}} tags, but has instead listed many statements that he is questioning, despite not having checked the cited sources first. He is also starting to delete statements that are backed up by cited reference sources without checking them first. Please could some admins contribute to the discussion on the article's Talk page in order to resolve this dispute. Thanks. NFH 18:42, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

The problem here is less about content than about KV’s persistent attribution of motives to editors who disagree with his edits (generally editors object that KV's edits lack V RS, or contain OR). For example:
Gleng [195] [196] "I know you have your own biases, and those can also be seen from your edits" [197]
Kenosis [198] "is politically motivated...." [199] and needs a nap or an aspirin? [200]title=Talk:Pseudoscience&diff=prev&oldid=69757865
Jim Butler “it is very clear what your particular bias is" [201], "he is not a legitimate editor" [202], [203], [204]; he (and members of a certain group) is “fanatical” [205]

The article on 'deindustrialization' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deindustrialization is awful. It only refers to a range of very eccentric / radical views on this subject, and proffers little evidence or support for its arguments.

Tipu Sultan and Talk:Tipu Sultan are facing a prolonged edit war, with some quite heated words flying around on whether the subject of the article was an islamic fanatic or not, anti kannada / anti hindu or not, a despot or not. Most of the disputed edits are from two or three editors, who have been reverting edits wholesale and abusing the other editors on that page for their views. Secondary importance, but probably significant for article quality - their english isn't really good or grammatical either. Might be worth a look. 10:25, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

There seems to be a tight closed shop operating on Brahma_Kumaris_World_Spiritual_University where only a highly critical view of the organisation is allowed to prevail. Most recently comments of other users on the talk page are being heavily re-written and even deleted mainly by User:195.82.106.244, who seems to be pretty-much running the show, on the basis that they are a personal attack, although there is at least one case of a factual post by User:84.13.205.142 being deleted (now re-instated).

User:203.214.50.225 has made multiple reversions to edits I have made to the Johnny Newman article. I initiated dispute resolution by questioning him/her about this on his/her talk page, User talk:203.214.50.225. I have requested that the user explain his/her reversions on the article's talk page. Thus far, I have received no response on the talk page. The user has responded by making repeated unsigned comments on my user talk page User talk:Sugar Daddy, and vandalizing my user page User:Sugar Daddy. After I pointed out to the user that this behavior was against WP:CIVIL and WP:TPG, the conduct has been repeated. Also, based on pattern of edits, I believe this unsigned user may be a sockpuppet of User:Downwards. Please advise! Sugar Daddy 20:02, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Another user is monitoring my edits on several pages, adding spurious or incorrect information and failing to reply to my rationales for adding or altering content. The user also frequently makes comments which I find irritating, and deliberately provocative. I am so frustrated by this I am having trouble not including profanity in my responses. Also uses wikipedia proceedures improperly and punitively - peer reviews and request for deletion specifically. Examples are found on the Barbara Hambly biography page, and Cat's Claw. See talk pages as well as diffs over the past couple days. There is an unpleasant history going back several months. My own conduct in previous interactions was far less than perfect, I have been trying to improve it over the past couple weeks after a warning regarding personal attacks. I would appreciate comments on my own behaviour as well. 16:55, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[ [210]]Unregistered user is repeatedly adding negative criticsms to a BLP article, many of which are not referenced, poorly referenced, or derivative of online articles that do not even talk about the subject. I have attempted to reach out to this person to come to some sort of consensus, but they have labeled me a "Dave Ramsey Lover" and simply re-add their edits. According to the Wikipedia:BLP policy page, negative material that is poorly sourced must be deleted immediately. I have brought this issue to that board, and they agreed with my position. However, this person continues adding these points. Can I get a little help here I guess? I'm not sure what to do at this point.-- Arkcana 21:11, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

I am adding statements which I believe to be true and of common knowledge. HeBhagawan sees they are removed under one or other pretext, one of them being asking for citations whereas he ignores my pointing out other similar un-sourced statements. Apandey jumps in with incivil comments against me. I am also subjected to incivil intimidations by HeBhagawan and Dab. Dab being admin, has commented that my edits were "worse than worthless" to add fuel to the fire. He has asserted that he has no knowledge of the subject "Hinduism" and commented incivil as HeBhagawan and others were against me. The attempt of HeBhagawan appears to monopolise the article. Apandey has no contribution to the article. Apandey's only contribution is incivil comments against me on discussion page. I request to check my edits by a person of knowledge of Hinduism so far as statements falling under true and common knowledge, the incivility issue can be checked by any. I suspect sock puppeteering.

User:FunkyFly is constantly avoiding various Wikipedia rules (poor sourcing or no sourcing at all, no explanations for the changes, using unlicenced or poorly licenced images, support of certain political agendas, mistreating several articles as his/her own private personal web pages, incl. biographies of living persons etc..). Particulary he/she is abusing the following articles: Kiro Gligorov, ASNOM, Ilinden uprising and many other articles mostly related to Balkan issues (meanwhile that list of abused articles is growing bigger). All the attempts for a serious discussion and a peaceful concensus have failed. A suggestion from my side for seeking "third opinion" and sort of arbitration by an invited informal mediator (experienced and relevant Wikipedia user from a third country) was disregarded by the user in question in a very arrogant manner below every standard of civility (link: HERE). The user in question adds highly questionable statements (to the articles) which are not supported by any reliable source, except in some cases, with sources such as: websites of certain radical political parties and document scans issued by a certain state which was an ally of the Third Reich during the Second world war etc. Also the user mentioned above offten attempts to defocus discussions from their main topic by using cynical statements, irrelevant informations, out-of-context quotes, mild personal attacks etc. NOTE: My behaviour may have been also questionable in certain cases and Im ready to be sanctioned accordingly if needed. But, rules should not be imposed in a selective way. -- Vbb-sk-mk 22:24, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Acts include rascist slurs, personal adverts, intentional garbling/misspelling of words, and malicious fact changing. Please look to his or her user contributions for a guide to said violations of etiquette, as in my search I found almost all recent edits were vandalism attempts. In light of the many recent vandalisms on the part of this user, I placed a vandalism warning on their user discussion page, but there are many others like it. I do not think that will deter the user. Please see [211] 09:15, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
User:Grover_Cleveland has been a source of mild to moderate harrassment. Besides his constant sarcasm, he has followed me around, editing pages right after I edit them, pages that previously he never went near. I edit so much as a sentence -- there he is, right after. Articles that he previously never showed one iota of interest in. "Stalking" is probably too strong a word; for my part I will just ignore him. But I thought you should know that one of your active editors is behaving this way. Thank you for your time.

I would like to issue a complaint against administrator Lucky 6.9. He refuses to offer a satisfactory explanation for why he's deleting my additions to Wikipedia. In addition, he's issuing threats to me.
I tried to add an entry on Sides the movie on the 24th, and he deleted it within 2 minutes, claiming that because I did not have other people contributing to the page, it was not a sufficient addition. This, of course, is a ludicrous claim, given the fact that the entry had been up for less than two minutes. It obviously takes time for other people to contribute to a new page. I asked Lucky why he twice deleted my new entries, and he simply responded with a threat to suspend my editing privileges. If you go to his page, you'll see that I'm not the only person who has complained about his editing. I would appreciate a response from an administrator who is civil and mature enough to actually address my question. Thank you.
I would like to issue a complaint against User:Kafziel. He continues to delete my additions to Wikipedia. (Social Investing, Fanniue Mae and Business Ethics) In addition, he has threatened to have me banned from Wiki.
He seems to believe my additions are spam, and as he called them once, sneaky spam. I simply don't think they are. In addition to posting links to my websites, I have posted links of relevance to the topics to Congressional testimony on the US Congress and SEC websites. I don't think these can be considered spam. Please advise. Thank you.

I am concerned at the tone used in edit summaries and messages left on talk pages by User:Wandalstouring. I admit I got a little hot and a bit of a mastodon myself before backing off, checking some sources and trying to correct the material, and am now trying to calm down, but will do that best when neutral, outside, others stick their noses in. See edit history and talk page of War horse in particular, both edit summaries and the tone of the edits themselves, as well as tone of edits to cavalry tactics. This individual also left a couple nasty comments on my user talk page that bordered on threatening in tone. I may have stirred the pot at first, I am now going to back off an just calm down now. 22:42, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
There is an ongoing minor edit war on the Nadia Comaneci page. User:Mai Loon and two IP addresses, which seem to be so close as to be the same user, are continually deleting sourced, referenced information from the article. I, and other users, continue to revert back, but the material just gets changed again the next day. It's not major, but it does give the article a weasel-worded slant by removing one side of a controversy involving Comaneci and failing to tell the reader what the conclusion was. The user refuses to even discuss his/her edits; s/he just keeps silently reverting.
I'm not even sure if this is the right place to add this, but I'm not sure how this should be handled. Thus far, I have tried: 1) asking for comments on article's Talk Page; 2) trying to ask the user to justify his/her deletions in the edit summaries; 3) leaving notes on the user/IP address Talk Pages; 4) Taking a break from the article; 5) remmoving material about BOTH sides of the controversy to try to make the user go away. Any thoughts on how to deal with this would be appreciated! DanielEng 08:57, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Jvalant is attempting to disrupt the Indian Rebellion of 1857 article , promoting Indian nationalism at the expense of the quality of the article. Whilst implying that anyone who disagrees with him is an "Imperialist" or a "racist". His views obviously need some level of inclusion in the article, but not at the expense of different points of view. 18:00, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
User:Power_level_(Dragon_Ball) is making repeated personal attacks on User:Someguy0830. He has been warned with a 'be civil' template, but he wants me to remove it ( User_talk:Yuser31415). Do you think I should remove it or leave it there? I'm not sure what his game is, but he seems to want all his warnings removed immediately afterward they are put onto his talk page. Looks fishy to me. Yuser31415 talk| contribs 21:43, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
User:DocFisherKing (also ostensibly User:66.246.72.108, among other IP addresses) has a long history of repeatedly reverting my edits (and the edits of other users) to his own versions of the David Duke page, with accusations of vandalism on my part in the edit summary. [213] [214] [215] [216]

You didn't fool me! DocFisherKing
LOL. That "evidence" shows that I am now logged in from the IP of 208.192.66.196. I've been found out! Seriously, though, you're being ridiculous, this is the same disregard for Wikipedia policy that I'm referring to. Someone else will remove your impertinent "evidence" soon enough. -- Ryodox 10:00, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Whatever you say, it's evidence! DocFisherKing

User User:Eleemosynary has always been a kind of strident voice on the Rush Limbaugh page. However, recently that user has begun making more personal attacks seen on the talk page. They have not yet gotten to the point where I feel comfortable slapping up template but the constant charges of bias and unfounded attacks against other editors has really soured the discussion. This user also after disagreeing with a few edits went through the article deleting many sections seemingly out of spite. I am relatively new to this kind of behavior so thought I would seek outside assistance especially considering the charged atmosphere. --06:16, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
User:Mr.6661 is contacting people who appear to be fans of Avenged Sevenfold, claiming to be the guitarist from the band. This is obviously not the real person, and I'm hoping something can be done to stop this person from contacting anyone else, and spreading false information about the fans of A7X on the Wiki. I have reason to believe that this person might also be User:Metallifan, although I could be wrong. The account in question has already been approached by various members of Wikipedia and asked to stop his actions, although to no avail. -- Boa Drumm er 07:31, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
There's already a comment about this user above, but User:70.185.125.101 is still leveling personal attacks against users, behaving in an uncivil manner (Example: [217]) and making edits that are inappropriate at best. Several editors have tried to talk to him about this, on both his Talk Page and the articles' Talk Pages, but he's not listening and maintains that he's doing nothing wrong. Most recently he has tried to add sexual content, [218] and links to pornographic films [219] to an article about a children's TV series, and has been openly hostile when the content was removed.

User JoshuaZ appears to have abused his SysOP priviliges, violating WP:BP and demonstrating a complete misunderstanding of WP:ADMIN. [220] 18:01, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to get help but things are out of control at guitar. There has been continual vandalism and now User:Will Pittenger has been reverting to vandalized versions. Several people (myself included) didn't notice what he had done and we reverted newer vandalism to his versions. Now the page has old vandalism sprinkeled throughout. Hopefully someone knows how to fix this situation. I put a warning at Will's user page. 17:40, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Please help at Democrat Party (phrase). I've been struggling with 71.139.0.12 who keeps making not-vandalism but unhelpful / contentious / arbitrary edits, and now with User:Rjensen. I just need the support of some experienced editors who can back up the enforcement of WP:V and just someone with a good sense for how Wikipedia works, because I feel that both these users are a bit unexperienced, so we've been butting heads a bit. 22:35, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
User at Portal talk:China is making many changes without stopping to discuss objections to previous changes first. Someone needs to explain to him that discussion and consensus is more important than making a lot of changes quickly. 00:54, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
I have a user deleting all my edits most of them without a single link and threatening me via email. 72.81.21.181 03:08, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
On Neuro-linguistic Programming, I want to make sure my own behaviour is ok here, diff. My edits were attempts to improve the quality of the article. Other than that I really need advice on how to strongly encourage AlanBarnet ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) to use "fact", "dubious" or "quote_required" tags rather than blanket reverts. -- Comaze 04:32, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
User:Abu badali has added
Template:Replaceable fair use templates to several of the images I've uploaded, without following the instructions in the template to notify the original uploader. This, in addition to blanketly adding this tag to what appear to be a wide variety of promotional photos; his user log indicates several hundred edits of exactly the same type, and it appears to me unlikely the user is making any case-by-case determination or using any judgement before making this sweeping edits. If user is not notifying me that my images are now subject to deletion, I'm guessing the same thing is not happening to several hundred other editors.

Re: EFax (fax service).
A user (previously operating under the name User:Haynesj, but now operating anonymously from a small number of IP addresses ) has been for a long time engaging in edit-warring on this page. In January 2006 he requested that the page be protected as it was a registered trademark of his company, J2 Global Communications. (That claim is false, as is shown on the (hopefully) current version of the page). Since then, he has been vociferously demanding that all other users leave the page alone, and has reverted nearly all constructive edits to the page, often calling them vandalism. That small stub article has now had over 150 edits since July 2004. He has recently vandalised Fax server (see [221]) and Efax (disambiguation) (see [222]) by replacing those articles with material about his product alone. He has edited Yac Fax (see [223]) to promote his product. Somebody operating from one of the addresses which he uses (and which is assigned to his company) has vandalised Wireless access point (see [224]). Several people have attempted to discuss matters with him over a long period, but he persists in his activities, claiming that since his company produces the product, he is entitled to control the content of the page.
See some of his discussion at:
He has used the following accounts and IP addresses:

User User:Wiki187 just created an account to avoid a spam block as User:125.23.47.249. The editor has been placing threats in comments along with his external links. I'd prefer if someone could help because my catching him in the act and adding multiple spam warnings may have exacerbated the situation. -- 17:47, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
. I am here for procedural reasons only, feedback to avoid runaway system destruction ( info theory and electronics metaphor, also applied in a work called "The Nerves of Government" governance. I firmly believe I have met some admins who are not ethically ot tempermentally up to the job. I don't have a lot of time presently to deal with this but would like to see Wiki not taken by little tyrants. But who cares? Wblakesx 02:47, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
An unregistered User edited my User page and talk page with some pretty harsh comments. Don't know who he is, but I'd appreciate this being looked into. Cheers. -Sparky
