Unknown IP

An as yet unidentified user is probably unintentionally vandalising Humanitarian response to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. Often I see it has had sections duplicated, added, removed or moved around. Can an admin please investigate and warn the user responsible? Nicholas 15:34, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Which decent edits are these? The addition to the gay/lesbian list seems to be spurioous -- there's no mention anywhere on the web of a person by this name (last April); another is just a cut and paste from [[1]]. Bad'un. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 23:02, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Blocked for 24 hours for violation of the 3RR. It looks to me that some of the anons have made useful edits to the article, so I'm not sure if protecting it is a good idea.-gadfium 03:08, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The appropriate thing to do in this case is to put a {{del}} on the page they've created, and to put a friendly message on their talk page. {{test}} is the standard friendly message, but feel free to write your own if you want to.-gadfium 23:15, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I'm only remove your funny "soviet history" edits. P.S. you reverted 4 times today.--Emax 19:15, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I didn't revert but added new info 2 out of 4 times. I posted much new material putting the article into a historical perspective (from the Battle of Vedrosha to the peace treaty ending the war). I also corrected spelling and factual mistakes, as well as pointed to the lack of reliability in this russophobic article. You have added nothing, just keep deleting all additions and corrections wholesale. ----Ghirlandajo
I've warned both Emax and Ghirlandajo about the 3RR. I'll block either of them if they revert again within 24 hours of 3 previous reverts.-gadfium 21:07, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The only thing this user is doing is adding links to his own website ("technotip.com") , a site which seems to be composed entirely of content ripped directly from other pages - this is probably to get google ad revenue. Ground

The difference between a page move and a new redirect is that a page move will include the text "X moved to Y". Both will be labelled as "new" and the new redirect page will have an empty history. If the page move makes the title better (i.e. it doesn't include "Willy"), it was probably someone fixing a move. (We can learn from this! In case it happens again...) -Aranel ("Sarah") 01:50, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • User:Nasrallah | talk | contributions. This is the third time this user has vandalized my User page within 24 hours. [3] [4] [5]. According to Wikipedia sockpuppet rules such tags should only be placed on a User page if "the account has been unambiguously shown to be a sock puppet of the user by either:
  • the user's own admission
  • matching of IP addresses
The above text should not be added in the cases of accusations of sockpuppetry which have not been proven." --Wiesenthaler 16:21, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
You really should see about some more proper Dispute Resolution for this; the usual article revert/graffiti removal/page protection people which prowl this page really don't deal with this stuff. Even the ones with Admin power probably wouldn't dare touch the issue on their own. This needs a comittee to look at it, look at the evidence behind it, and make a decision. Sockatume 21:31, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Never mind, you're blocked already. If someone accuses someone else of being a sockpuppet of you, or a sockpuppet of one of the folk you're accused being a sockpuppet of, then please try to come up with a better way to resolve the dispute than multiple posts here.

  • User:Nasrallah | talk | contributions). Vandalized my User page with an incorrect sockpuppet alert. [16]. According to Wikipedia sockpuppet rules such tags should only be placed on a User page if "the account has been unambiguously shown to be a sock puppet of the user by either:
  • the user's own admission
  • matching of IP addresses

The above text should not be added in the cases of accusations of sockpuppetry which have not been proven." User:Nasrallah is a sockpuppet of User:Viriditas who maintains a pseudo-scientific sockpuppet directory User:Viriditas/wikipuppets that he uses to issue constantly changing stream of accusations of sockpuppetry based on identity mis-matching. His last edit on the directory (about me) was at 02:04, 22 Dec 2004 [17]. Subsequently, he logged in as User:Nasrallah and vandalized my User page two minutes later at 02:06, 22 Dec 2004 [18]. Both sockpuppet User:Nasrallah and owner User:Viriditas should be blocked for User page vandalism. --Wiesenthaler 03:23, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

You added a comment to your own user page [19]stating that you are a sockpuppet. Therefore, you have "been unambiguously shown to be a sock puppet of the user by... the user's own admission", surely? Sockatume 04:02, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Addenum: you do realise the irony of this request, don't you? You say that they labelled you as a sockpuppet with inappropriate evidence. You are calling for a ban because one's a sockpuppet of the other... also with zero evidence. Seeing as so many related users are caught up in this nonsense (Nasrallah, Viriditas, Wiesenthaler...), I suggest that some sort of higher-level arbitration is needed on the entire situation. Sockatume 04:21, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I admit to being a sockpuppet. That is not the problem and there's nothing wrong with being a sockpuppet. I did not vandalize anyone's User page despite three arrogant and abusive editors doing it to me in the past two days (in addition to reverting all my edits - without just cause). The Wikipedia rule states that the tag User:Viriditas placed on my User page should not be placed on the User page unless the sockpuppet has been shown unambiguously to be linked to a specific User by either self-admission or IP address. User:Viriditas vandalized my User page without either condition being met. He insists on playing sockpuppet detective and trying to link me to other Users so that he can convince sysops to block me for violating the three revert rule - when I have never done so. Today he added the accusation linking me to User:Alberuni. Yesterday, he accused me of being User:Goldberg, User:HistoryBuffEr and User:195.7.55.146. Yesterday, I was wrongly accused of being Goldberg's sockpuppet and improperly threatened with a block by a sysop who lacked evidence but pursued a similar line of abuse and cupidity as User:Viriditas. Tomorrow, who knows what form of abuse they will devise? --Wiesenthaler 04:27, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Ah, I see, I suppose there are plenty of reasons for somebody to set up a sockpuppet, anonymity for example, without there being a need for you to be marked out. Anyway, as I say, it's worth getting a committee of the Higher Ups in to sort things out, as I'm tired of seeing this "situation" popping up on WP:VIP. Frankly I'm pretty tired of people taking potshots at eachother and claiming everyone they disagree with are sockpuppets/are part of this or that generic ideological group/are breaking the 3-revert rule. I'd say that, if people are accusing eachother of breaking the 3-revert rule, it's time to protect the article and get in the Arbitrators. Sockatume 04:42, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Attention by higher-ups is fine by me but there is no question User:Nasrallah vandalized my User page and therefore he and his IP should be blocked. --Wiesenthaler 05:03, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Frankly, your edit afterwards suggesting a job opportunity reflects poorly on your judgment. Please take these petty disputes off the page; we've more serious things to worry about. Mackensen (talk) 05:24, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
You have more serious issues to worry about than User page vandalism? Like what? There have been no other entries of vandalism in progress on this page for over two hours. Perhaps if you took action against any of the three aggressive editors who violated Wikipedia rules by vandalizing my User page in the past two days you wouldn't have to waste your time writing your opinions about what I have a right to put on my User page. --Wiesenthaler 05:34, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Wiesenthaler, you admit to being a sockpuppet. Notices can be posted if the account has been unambiguously shown to be a sock puppet of the user by either:
  • the user's own admission
  • matching of IP addresses

Therefore, placing a sockpuppet notice on your user page isn't vandalism. If User:Viriditas placed the notice "before either condition was met", he could still have matched IPs without your knowledge. If you disagree with that decision, just ask comments instead of attacking whoever is placing them and be sure to include proof of why User:Nasrallah should be a sockpuppet. Mgm|(talk) 09:42, Dec 22, 2004 (UTC)

How do you propose that User:Nasrallah/User:Viriditas matched IP addresses without my knowledge? Is secret evidence now accepted to make baseless accusations and vandalize User pages? I don't think so. --Wiesenthaler 16:16, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Don't report it per se, but go to Wikipedia:Requests for comment and list the page. This will get other editors' attention, and people will start to look at the page and contribute their input. This will hopefully allow people to come up with a compromise and stop the edit war. If that doesn't seem to help, if the battle is between just two editors, try to reason things out with the editor on the talk page. Then try Wikipedia:Requests for mediation. If that doesn't work, well you can try and put more load on the already overworked arbitrators, but that process takes ages. Samboy 15:13, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Mindlessly reverting Yasser Arafat, AIPAC, and making up derogatory terms for List of ethnic slurs. A sockpuppet of User:Goldberg, who is a sockpuppet himself. Has exceeded 3 reverts on the articles and should be blocked. Jewbacca 04:36, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)

Please, could an admin help out with this issue? User:Wiesenthaler, who also seems to be User:Goldberg, is adding anti-Semitic material to pages, including his own Talk page, where he's written "I like (k)ike." He's also adding anti-Semitic material to List of ethnic slurs and has deleted material from Yasser Arafat several times today. Other editors are in danger of violating 3RR in an effort to get rid of his vandalism. His edits can be seen here. Many thanks, Slim 05:04, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)
See his comment at the bottom of Talk:List of ethnic slurs:
This page is an equal opportunity slur festival, in case he missed the point. All races and ethnicities are subject to slurs equally here. Jews don't get a free ride by whining about anti-semitism, at least not on this page. --Wiesenthaler 04:33, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Your position is utterly absurd. How could possibly think that using anti-semitic slurs while vandalizing articles and acting as a sock puppet is even remotely acceptable? Carrp 05:11, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I have not vandalized articles. The anti-semitic slurs I edited on the page entitled List of ethnic slurs are completely legitimate. Sockpuppets in and of themselves are not a violation of any rules. Do you need any more help finding answers today? --Wiesenthaler 06:51, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
You are the one mindlessly reverting pages Jewbacca. In any case, making reversions and reasonable edits is not vandalism. As for the List of ethnic slurs, all of them I made are completely valid. See [26]. If you have a complaint, take it to the Talk page. This attempt to block a user for making edits you do not like is just an abuse of Wikipedia process. Did you really attend Stanford? --Wiesenthaler 04:43, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
It's funny how a "non-sockpuppet" who made his FIRST edit today is familiar with this page. Jewbacca 04:45, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)
There's no law against sock-puppets. There is a rule against misusing sock-puppets to evade the three revert rule or other deceptions. I never claimed to be new. But I'm not Goldberg as you have maliciously accused me (in violation of Wikipedia civility rules). Finding this page was easy. Just followed your trail. [27] --Wiesenthaler 04:54, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I do not have to be civil to someone who proudly adds anti-Jewish terms to List of ethnic slurs and uses anti-semitic slurs on his own user page. "I like (k)Ike!", where kike is a derogatory term for Jew. Jewbacca 04:57, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)
You don't like my edits s you think you have a right to violate Wikipedia rules? Instead of exempting yourself from Wikipedia rules and norms, why not just exempt yourself from Wikipedia? --Wiesenthaler 05:04, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Reinserting this entry after Wiesenthaler vandalized this page by removing it Jewbacca 05:14, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)

Notice abusive edit summary on this page's history from Wiesenthaler: "I like (k)Ike" is a term of endearment, like "you're my #1 nigger" Jewbacca 05:16, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)

  • One does not have to look carefully at Wiesenthaler's wonderful new ethnic slurs to recognize his disingenuousness here. Examples:
    • ZOG – U.S., Jews. Refers to Zionist Occupied Government, the Jews' influence over US politicians.
    • Zionist – U.S., Europe, South America, for a Jew. Refers to most Jews' political goal of colonizing Palestine.
    • Nickel nose – U.S., a jew. Refers to facial characteristics and money-centered nature.
    • German candle – U.S., Jew. Refers to incinerated Jews in World War II.
    • German oven mitt – U.S., Refers to incinerated Jews in World War II.
  • This isn't editing an encyclopedia; this is inserting explicit anti-Semitic sentiments. My conclusion is that Wiesenthaler is what Jewbacca says he is: a vandal. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 06:10, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Maybe you should delete the page if you don't want anti-semitic slurs in the encyclopedia. I don't see you complaining about the anti-black, anti-arab, anti-italian, or anti-chinese slurs. Thisis the source. Maybe you should sue them too. [28]. --Wiesenthaler 06:17, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • Nope. It's not the anti-Semitic slurs -- it's the definitions of them. "Money-centered nature"? "Most Jews' political goal"? Good try, but you're not fooling anyone. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 06:35, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
It's all in the source, if you bothered to check [[29].
  • "7.06 Zionist: Jews are typically Zionist in political nature. The ultimate goal being to take over Palestine. Also: Zog",
  • "Gargamel Jews Refers to greedy, money centered nature of Jews. Reference from Smurfs cartoon."
Where is your outrage over any of the other slurs except for Jewish slurs? You are fooling no one. --Wiesenthaler 06:42, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Who cares where you're copying the garbage from? It's still garbage, much of it made up solely for the purpose of putting it on that list or a similar one. "German oven mitt" indeed. At any rate, my outrage is irrelevant. Show me some other entries on the list which have definitions that are, in themselves, ethnic slurs (as opposed to descriptions of them.) If your entries said, for example, "Nickel nose: Refers to stereotype of facial characteristics", it would be clear that you were not attempting simply to try to get away with your anti-semitic utterances, but rather were legitimately expanding the article in question. Such appears not to be the case. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 06:56, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Who cares about sources? Indeed. You are quite the encyclopedist. Show you some other entries that are themselves ethnic slurs? Take your pick from any letter of the alphabet. EuroNazi – U.S., Europeans, referring to Europe's history of dictators, communists, nazis, and imperialism

Europhile – U.S. Any European, especially mainland Europeans, who are perceived as sexually promiscuous and overly passive Eurotrash – U.S./U.K., Europeans gatecrashing society by trading on false claims of wealth, titles of nobility etc. Euro-weenies – U.S., Europeans, particularly French, who don't support instances of US foreign military intervention Euro-spic – U.S., Someone of mixed European-Hispanic ethnicity. c/f Ponce de Leon. etc etc. Gorilla – a big, fat black person. Need any more help? --Wiesenthaler 07:15, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Good demonstration. Perhaps you're right; those also don't belong in an encyclopedia. The way to deal with that, however, is not by adding more garbage; it's by removing the garbage which is there. Feel free to do so, if you are so inclined. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 07:43, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Agree, the best way to deal with racist non-encyclopedic crap is to remove it, not to add to it. A little bit crazy, but hey, that's what I'm here for. FWIW, I've not heard many people in the UK use "Zionist" as a synonym for "Jew", except to make some tired political comment. Sockatume 06:03, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
These oh so politically correct sentiments are just window dressing for what is really just very common bias and censorship in Wikipedia. No one listed the slur page for VfD, did they? None of these moralistic self-serving Jewish editors lifted a finger to delete a single slur against anyone but Jews, did they? But when I added the slurs against Jews to this long list collection of pejorative terms for every other race and ethnicity - oh look out! I am accused of being anti-semitic. My edits are reverted. A complaint of vandalism is lodged against me. I am hounded and harassed. --Wiesenthaler 06:25, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
        • Actually, you're wrong. The page was listed for VfD a few months ago. It was voted to "keep", but most of the "keeps" indicated the page needed serious cleanup. It wasn't cleaned up. It's on VfD again, and you've made an excellent case for removing it.--jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 08:23, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • There seems to be some random vandalism comming from this IP address every three or four days. I checked the last 6 or 7 edits (from Nov. 25 to Dec. 17), and they were all vandalism. Examples:

143.50.61.66

(143.50.61.66 | talk | contributions) His vandalism was reported on Dec. 14. His IP is: 143.50.61.66. He keeps posting non-published personal views which I have refuted at my personal weblog. It is unacceptable that a non-specialist administrator like (Hadal | talk | contributions) (who is not a physicist!) would revert my editing back to this individual's diatribe. I do not have the time nor the energy to correct this person's vandalism and misinformation being publicized by tacking himslef onto popular pages discussing my work i.e. the Afshar Experiment. I have already told him by e-mail that he can put his comments in the discussion section and we will have a go at it, but that he should not go directly to the main page without a published reference for his arguments. We did this with (Lumidek | talk | contributions) and the results have been satisfactory to both sides. I request that 143.50.61.66 be immediately blocked for Sneaky Vandalism.- Prof. Afshar 14:38, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Um, so you're listing me along with a supposed vandal because I reverted an unexplained deletion? I saw an IP remove an entire section of (seemingly valid) material without justification; you could have used an edit summary to explain your actions. I've noticed that, judging by IP similarity, it would appear you've been editing double-slit experiment for quite some time, and from the edit history, I'm not the first person to revert your changes (e.g. here). I'm sorry for intruding on your pet article, but please understand that adding one point of view to an article is not vandalism. This page is not for listing content disputes, which is what I'd call the tiff between you and 143.50.61.66. As for what's "acceptable": Anyone can revert anyone's edits, and your edits have no priority over the edits of others. -- Hadal 20:28, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Dear Hadal, I did not intend to put you in the same category as the vandal. I understand why you felt your action was justified, but the issues being discussed are very weighty matters in the physics world, and it is not easy for non-experts to point out a logical vs. nonsensical arguments. Besides, I have no quarrel with the Vandal posting his arguments in the discussion section, where I will accordingly respond. It is just that it is not professional to put out disinformation on a popular page without going through the discussion page first. Until he has either published his arguments, or gone trhough the discussion process 143.50.61.66 should not be allowed to reduce the quality of the main pages. Prof. Afshar 15:46, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • This is not vandalism. This is a disagreement. You can have your dispute on the talk page; you can enter a request for comment; there are various ways to deal with this. But it's not vandalism. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 00:38, 18 Dec

2004 (UTC)

What would you call this [Sneaky Vandalism]? The red words on the left are his "objective" contributions! Also, please take a look at his history of content removals. This inexcusable behavior on a serious topic at the heart of Quantum Mechanics must stop. I am new to Wikipedia, and would appreciate your help with this individual. As I said, I have no problem with a discussion on the discussion page, but he should not be allowed to devalue the contents of the main pages by his juvenile antics.-- Prof. Afshar 20:35, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I agree that the addition in question is not vandalism. However, I think this addition violates a couple of items from what Wikipedia is not: Wikipedia is not a soap box (item 3) nor is it Primary research (item 9). I think we are encountering a fundamental problem with Wikipedia here: We do not differentiate between a well-renowned physicist and any 'ole yahoo on the net who posts something anonymously; there seems to be this idea that a well renowned physicist's point of view about advanced physics holds no more weight that some yahoo on the net who barely passed physics at community college. This is, well, wrong (and one of my objections to young earth creationism; YEC can only exist in a world where some small-town preacher who has never taken a geology course can somehow know more about geology than all the well renowned geologists). If you want real scientists doing articles about the science they know well here on Wikipedia, there should be some consensus that their ideas (in their area of expertise) hold more weight than someone who won't even give us their name.

  • This individual has made extensive bizarre and biased changes to the Kwanzaa article attacking the holiday's founder, and has removed the clean up notice from that page and the pages needing cleanup page. If it were just that I wouldn't list it here, but 24.165.102.68 has gone into his user talk page to change what people wrote there to him (and made it look like I had signed something I never said) and gone into the talk page of the Kwanzaa article where other editors were mentioning their reverts of his changes and he went and changed the IP address listed so it read something completely different. I can only imagine he hoped that if we went to block him, we'd block the wrong person. I'm not sure what needs to be done about all this, but the trying to change the comments and the mention of his IP address prompted me to mention it here. DreamGuy 02:03, Dec 18, 2004 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia:Vandalism:
Bullying or stubbornness Some users cannot come to agreement with others who are willing to talk to them on an article's talk page, and repeatedly make changes opposed by everyone else. This is a matter of regret—you may wish to see our dispute resolution pages to get help. However, it is not vandalism.
Harassing or making personal attacks We have a clear policy on Wikipedia of no personal attacks, and harassing other contributors is not allowed. Some forms of harassment are also clear cases vandalism, such as home page vandalism. However, harassment is not in general vandalism.
Goldberg obviously has problems with your reverts and calls you names for it. It's unfortunate, but not vandalism. Go through the proper dispute resolution procedures, and I'm sure this can be resolved. Good luck! Mgm|(talk) 19:44, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)

Gzornenplatz has violated arbitration injunction

Trusted administrators,
I apologize for placing this here, but do not know where else to report a violation of an arbitration injunction.
I need to inform you that User:Gzornenplatz has violated the section of the injunction against him (and other editors) that states "Gzornenplatz, Kevin Baas, Shorne, and VeryVerily are banned from reverting any article more than twice in one 24 hour period whilst Arbitration is on-going. Sysops are hereby authorised to enact 24 blocks for violations of this." Gzornenplats has violated this rule, reverting a page three times in 24 hours here: revert one, revert two, and revert three
Please ban User:Gzornenplatz for 24 hours for violating this injunction.
Once the arbitration case is closed and Gzornenplatz is banned for at least two months, we hopefully will not have to deal with this again. Samboy 23:14, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Goldberg

  • (User:Goldberg | talk | contributions)
    • This is a sockpuppet (along with FamilyFord car4less) whose only edits are attempts to get around the 3-revert-rule and continue efforts to force wholesale replacement of the Yasser Arafat article with an article rewrite by User:HistoryBuffEr. HistoryBuffEr has been in revert wars on the Yasser Arafat page attempting to replace the article with his personal version for three months, wiping out many other editors' work, and refusing to engage in discussion on the Talk page. There is an ongoing arbitration case concerning HistorBuffEr for this [62]. Meanwhile, all of Goldberg's edits have been reverts to HistoryBuffEr's previous wholesale rewrite versions, usually after HistoryBuffEr has exhausted 3 reverts. Here is Goldberg's latest revert to HistoryBuffEr's version [63]. Notice that Goldberg is reverting to a copy of HistoryBuffEr's wholesale replacement from 4 days earlier [64]. Also, please note that "Goldberg"'s claim to be replacing the "anti-semite version" is a sham, since he's replacing the same version HistoryBuffEr claims is "pro-Zionist". This Goldberg sockpuppet should be permanently banned; its creation by whoever created it was purely to cause disruption. --MPerel 19:59, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)

How are these accusations "false"? That IP address — not one "similar", but that particular IP address — added the penis image to all of those year articles; the edit histories offer proof of this.

Even so, he could try to integrate the added text into the articles. So far the contributions of 24.185.149.111 were to dump a bunch of text into seemingly random place without any attempt to integrate it into existing writing. On the other hand, he never failed to sign the text with an URL to his web site.

    • Can someone do some more research, all I can find on this person is substub creation. This might be malicious, but so far I found only 1 warning on his talk page. Mgm|(talk) 13:02, Dec 2, 2004 (UTC)
  • article continuously being blanked and converted into a redirect

  • created Jesus in a cultural and historical background for spite (IMO), doubling the controversy on a protected page, after obstructing consensus-building attempts on that page. Cheesedreams may be no ordinary vandal but his behaviour seems to have reached some sort of crisis point, at this point IMO he is one toe over the line, and bears watching.

  • (83.29.19.9 | talk | contributions) Repeatedly spamming Kraków with a link to commercial site cracowonline.com (hotels etc in Kracow). The spamer changes IPs daily, but they all come from 83.29.0.0 - 83.29.127.255 (NEOSTRADA-ADSL). The spamer has been warned numerous times, and has been revered by various people many times. --Gene s 09:37, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Users Critical and CStar

  • Has there been a troll / vandalism on eight pages and three users?
For the record, the user Critical ( talk, contributions), who slapped the "disputed NPoV" sticker on some pages, has made his or her first edits tonight (or today) and within less than two hours has attacked eight articles for PoV, including (ironically given the CStar example given on the Logical fallacy talk page), Physical law. These were the only "edits" (plus weak justifications on talk pages in the same vein as this one). I don't think the PoV claim has merit. We may ask if this series of attacks is to be taken seriously.
For the following reasons I am thinking that these pages has been the victim of a tiresome semi-sophisticated troll and the PoV sticker should be removed sooner rather than later, if not immediately. We may note that CStar ( talk, contributions) after making edits, paused during the period user Critical made edits, and then CStar took up responding to these edits after the series of user Critical edits ends, as if there is only one user involved, and the user logged out, changed cookies and logged back in. Further, user CStar left a note on Charles Matthew's talk page, Chalst's talk page, and Angela's talk page pointing to a supposed PoV accusation placed on the Logical argument page, when in fact no such sticker has been placed. Perhaps the irony regarding the Physical law page is not so ironic. Hu 05:26, 2004 Dec 1 (UTC)
I've responded to this on the Logical fallacy talk page.CSTAR 14:40, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Point of information
I have responded to this on the logical fallacy talk page, as well as on the pages of the above mentioned users. It does appear that these pages were as Hu suggests the victim of a tiresome semi-sophisticated troll. But I wasn't the perpetrator. This suggestion appears to have been an honest mistake, I consider the matter closed, and it appears that Hu does as well. CSTAR 01:56, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

That's not vandalism. Take it to RfC if you wish to get consensus for your preferred version. anthony 警告 04:08, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
It's not vandalism but you are violating the Three revert rule, a policy which may be enforced by a 24h ban. -- Solitude\talk 11:06, Dec 1, 2004 (UTC)
It's not vandalism - and I don't think it's voilation of 3RR (6 reverts in two days) I suppose he might have got the timing wrong on one of them but I'm not willing to split hairs. What it is is disruption. Anthony you have been reverted by four different people - you cannot win a revert war - so give it up please. Theresa Knott (The snott rake) 11:19, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
