Disruption of the Obama articles was relatively mild, but abusive edit warring by two different accounts on Barack Obama led to all of these accounts being blocked, with User:EverettMcGill marked as the sockmaster.

Articles given probation templates

1. Sonal Shah is experiencing difficulties with Sap ip ( talk · contribs) removing negative material, I have placed the {{ Community article probation}} template on the talk page. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry ( talk) 03:41, 18 November 2008 (UTC) reply

Users should generally be individually notified about the article probation before any remedy is applied to them, but this does not preclude the use of emergency measures. Anyone who edits this page is automatically considered to be on notice. Please remove duplicates from the list.

Note: you can use three tildes (~~~) to sign and five (~~~~~) to timestamp your entry. You can use the template:uw-probation to alert anyone to article probation and post a "diff" showing the warning. Please use that template civilly, as a simple notice rather than an accusation of probation violation. Wikidemo ( talk) 04:49, 17 August 2008 (UTC) reply
