Seems to always vandalize [[Reuters]], [[Agence France-Presse]], [[Associated Press]] the most (sometimes other news and non-news articles too), as well as making personal and vile attacks against users. Always reverts the reverts people do to his/her (Enlighter1's) vandalism by saying something like "rv vandalism" or "I am not the real vandal" in the edit summary. Has edits and actions aforementioned consistent to all of this users IP and registered user sock puppets. Also, when registering a username, tends to have the name end in "1" or have something to do with "AllPowerful" or "AllKnowing". A vandal profile page keeping an eye on this vandal is needed (like what has been done with the 'communism' and 'on wheels' vandals, but obviously not as serious). I myself, and others, have spent much time trying to take care of this vandal, so I think that the Wikipedia community — as well as admins who can actually do something when help is needed — should be made known to this new serial vandal. ~ [[User:Cafzal|clearthought]] 16:57, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Shortcut

    Long term abuse is a page intended to hold information describing editors or IPs who should be known by as many users as possible to aid in detecting and defeating their policy violations. Think of it as a "post office wall" with wanted posters. This page has been confused with several other pages, so please check the "Explanation" section if this is your first time here.

    Explanation

    Vandalism
    Dealing with vandalism
    Resources and assistance
    Further information

    This page should contain only properly categorized, unique entries on specific vandals with enough relevant and correct information to allow other people to identify them and their tracks. To keep this page functioning smoothly, please:

    Don't add an entry here requesting action, such as a block or page protect. This page is not scanned regularly, the same way WP:AIV or, to a lesser degree, WP:RFPP is. If you need someone blocked or a pages protected, please refer to those two links.
    Don't add entries for users who have never engaged in serious vandalism. Generally speaking, if their main account isn't blocked indefinitely, their "vandalisms" don't merit inclusion here. If you aren't sure, ask on the talk page.
    Don't use this page for discussions. If there needs to be a discussion, start it on the talk page and link to its section from this page. If there is a discussion going on elsewhere, link to it.
    Don't "sign" your entries, but do say who originally reported them, or who are the most knowledgeable about them so they can be contacted if need be.
    Don't use relative phrases like "recently" or "lately" without qualification. Try using "as of" to remedy this: "As of August 3rd, ..."
    Don't add entries without the vital information enumerated below, useless entries will be removed.
    Remember to update entries with new or important information.

    Criteria for addition

    Users listed should have a marked past of policy violations related to the entry. User accounts listed as vandals with minor blocks or "major vandals"/"sockpuppets" that aren't blocked indefinitely will also likely be removed. The relevant logs should back up your assertions, not contradict them.

    Note that shared IP addresses (EG. Schools, libraries, prisons, legislatures, etc.) engaging in egregious vandalisms should be reported on this page as they specialize in dealing with such IPs.

    Criteria for removal

    The most common causes of removal are:

    1. Archiving old entries of inactive vandals.
    2. Removing improper or useless additions.

    Adding to this page

    1. If this vandal was previously active over a year ago, check the archives. If they're listed in there, create a new section here and link to the archives.
    2. Check the subpages to ensure that they aren't already known about there.
    3. If the vandal's totally new, create an entry at the bottom of the appropriate section (see below for an explanation), with a descriptive heading, and under it a "Modus operandi" subsection. Use {{userlinks}} to list registered users involved and {{IPvandal}} for IP addresses.
      • This is vital: Without information on what a certain "vandal" does or how they do it, it will be impossible for other readers to understand how to spot them. Entries without this information will almost certainly be removed. See below for more information.
    1. If they're already listed on this page, add new information if you have it (Such as new sockpuppets or MOs). Discussion should be kept to a minimum, such as an open ended question about a puzzling attribute. In this instance, if you post the answer, incorporate it into the entry and remove the question. This page is extremely long as it is, if there needs to be prolonged discussion, use a talk page and link to it from the entry. Off topic discussion should be removed by anyone and any large discussion that has idled may be summarized.

    Necessary information in an entry

    Entries MUST have the following information to have utility:

    • List of (some of) the accounts/IPs using {{vandal}}/{{IPvandal}} templates. If they use a wide range of IPs, list the ranges and any prominently used addresses. If they use accounts, list at least the first one. If they have a category for their sockpuppets, list it.
    • A description of their vandalism(s). Good detail is important: unneeded information will be trimmed out by others, but a underexplained entry will require other people to sift through links, or just remove it.
    • Difference ("diff") link examples of their vandalisms. This is extremely important as it will show exactly what the vandal does and explain the entry. Note that linking to an IPs contributions or the history of a page is NOT passable: IPs get reassigned, pages keep getting edits. After a while, these will push the vandalism further into history and make the entry on the vandal(s) very hard to use.

    With both lists, you don't need to go above 5, barring something extremely unusual. As an example, you only need to see 4 or 5 Willy on Wheels sockpuppets to be able to guess what every other one looks like. If there are more then that many sockpuppets, consider creating a category and tagging their userpages with sockpuppet tags.

    Sections

    The page is divided up into sections as follows:

    • The Archives which are periodically created for old entries who have become inactive for a significant length of time.
    • Entries, comprizing (in addition to regular entries):
      • Subpages for vandals who are a serious enough threat to warrant a subpage for easy reference (Please read the guideline there before creating a subpage).
      • Serial SPAMmers who literally do nothing but SPAM, frequently by inserting the same link into every article that's possibly related to what they're pushing.
    • To be correctly filed — Holding pen where entries are added by default. If you're in a hurry you can add yours here, but you should try and find the correct section yourself.

    Archives

    Entries

    Subpages

    These pages contain information on more serious or unusual cases which merit a fixed location of reference. Before creating a new subpage, please read the guidelines. Frequently people jump directly to creating a subpage instead of listing a vandal on this page which often results in unnecessary pages which serve little purpose and end up getting deleted.

    Guidelines for creating subpages:

    Some questions to ask of the new subpage and its subject:

    • Is the vandal a "long term" vandal? Remember the pages are subpages of LTA and have to fulfill the same criteria as entries on LTA.
    • Does the vandal deserve a more permanent information location? Why can't they be listed on LTA like any other? There has to be a definite reason (or number of reasons) for giving them a subpage beyond "the LTA page section is too long" (e.g. engages in a very serious form of vandalism; appears to suffer from a mental disorder).
    • Is their vandalism simple and easy to detect? If so, then there probably isn't much need to create a page describing it, as users will be able to pick up on and deal with it as typical vandalism without requiring any insight into previous vandalism and/or whether or not a particular person is responsible for it. Pages on vandals which provide little help beyond what could easily be discovered by simply monitoring recent changes serve little purpose. As above, prolixity doesn't by itself warrant a subpage.
    • Is the increased exposure of the vandal outweighed by the increased visibility to the community and people who may run across them? An argument against these pages is that they by satisfy many vandals' desire for attention and/or encourage other attention seekers to engage in vandalism with the hope of getting a page created on themselves.


    Some example of "legit" subpages and why:

    • Primetime — This vandal regularly engages in one of the most dangerous forms of vandalism: Wanton copyright infringement that could place the Wikimedia Foundation in serious legal danger. People should know how to spot him so as many people as possible will know and be prepared to counter his plagiarism.
    • Lightbringer — This vandal is obsessed with inserting his extreme POV content into Freemasonry despite bans on doing so issued by the ArbCom and the community. To someone who doesn't know about this vandal and his MO, he may appear to be a participant in a legitimate content dispute rather than a vandal and banned user. Due to this, unneeded and (proven) useless dispute resolution may be pursued rather then his latest sockpuppet simply being blocked, wasting people's time.
    • Bonaparte — "Malicious sockpuppetry", vote stacking, consenseusfraud, ethnic disruption related to Romania and Moldova.
    • General Tojo — POV pushing on Parkinson's disease.
    • Israelbeach — Personal attacks and harassment; legal threats.
    • JarlaxleArtemis – Personal attacks, harassment, and e-mail bombing.
    • Lightbringer — POV pushing on Freemasonry, personal attacks, and ban evasion.
    • MascotGuy — Inserting hoax information into specific articles; possibly autistic.
    • Primetime and on Meta — Deliberate copyright infringement, personal attacks and harrassment on and off wiki, cross-wiki sockpuppetry.
    • Randallrobinstine — Childish vandalism to specific articles and images; creates socks with "Vrray" in their names; may be autistic. (Vandal is likely now inactive due to the indef blocking of his static IP address.)
    • Roitr — Adding false information on various militaries, especially Russia.
    • Universe Daily (No connection with the website) — Massive deceptive linkspam; personal attacks.
    • VaughanWatch — POV pushing on subjects related to Vaughan, Ontario.

    Serial SPAMmers

    Consider also reporting these spammers to the meta:Spam blacklist. If the addition is sucessful, you may wish to immediately archive or remove the section here.

    Universe Today and sockpuppet-SPAMmers

    Operating most notabily from the shared 203.10.59.63 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) this user is a sneaky sockpuppeting SPAMMer. All this info is at /Universe Daily.

    AlloExpat

    SexInRussia spammer

    Car and Ringtone Spammer

    User keeps adding external links to his car website or ringtone/phone website, which only contains Wikipedia information (directly copied with no credit given to Wikimedia) and sponsored adverts. The links appear on many 'car' pages such as those of Aston Martin, Mercedes Benz, Land Rover etc (in the external links section). Spamming has continued to this day, despite a 24 hour ban by user RadioKirk. 50+ articles have had links added, some have now been removed be me and others, but he is persistent...

    Bulldog Spammer

    Using wikipedia to try to sell dogs, got final warning twice, still came back and spammed.
    Cleaned up the links for now (linksearch). Suggest blacklisting if the spammer persists.

    datasheet4u.com serial spamer

    Not surprizingly this spammer hits the Datasheet page (history) and others related to electronics. The domain was Added to the SPAM blacklist.

    "We are all looking fsorward to a great sseason"

    These SPAMmers, who may be running a botnet from zombie computers, add trash like this. Many of the IPs are in LACNIC's range). A site-specific search on Google reveals that it's been somewhat successful at getting some indexing. An example IP is 83.238.44.12 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) on June 1 2006. These malefactors have hit up other websites as well: [1]

    SPUSA spammer

    Anonymous IPs with similar IP numbers have persistently added links to the Socialist Party USA website and the wikipedia page on the organisation. These links number in the hundreds to any article on a social issue, such as black power, and re-adds the links repeatedly after they've been reverted by other editors. They are usually in the "see also" and "external links section, but sometimes, the same editor removes content critical of the SPUSA, or adds links in the body of the article (e.g. this diff, this diff and this diff). Occasionally these links may be considered legitimate, but the vast majority are things like "the SPUSA cares about this issue too" (e.g. this diff). It's hard to tell if they are honestly trying to promote the group or turn people against it! The editor/s have used the the following IP addresses, among others:

    Shran/CantStandYa

    • Previously identified sock accounts/IPs:
    • Sample of articles which have been edited by more than one current account. *Conspicuous edit warring.
    • "Shran" uses sockpuppets to edit war. He has been asked repeatedly by editors to stick to one account. The user, through various accounts, has protested that the IPs are either open to many users, or are used by a "little brother" or "brother-in-law". Despite these claims the edits are clearly the work of one person. The previous set of sock puppet accounts was blocked several times in the fall of 2005, and a new set has been created since then. As with previous socks, these accounts were used to abuse consensus and fraudulate votes in CfDs and an AfD. User:Jayjg checkusered these accounts and showed a strong connection between many of them.


    InFlames vandalizer

    Mr Belvedere poster

    A suspicious vandal who creates accounts in a fairly set pattern (See below) and then adds an image of "Mr. Belvedere" to various articles with only minor relations ("Mr. Belvedere never drove on Nevada State Route 689" was one) or outright nonsense ("Noted polygamist Mr. Belvedere was not a fan of the 1890 manifesto").

    A note from the former Mrbelvedereposter: I have given up vandalism and am contributing constructively to Wikipedia under a different name. I applogize for my past actions (although you must admit a bit of quality absurdist humor...). I want to make it clear that I am not responsible for any alleged mrbelvedereposter beyond #28, with the exception of "Iwasinspiredbythegreatmrbelvedereposter" and "mrbelvedereposter37". Every other user who has claimed to be mrbelvedereposter since I retired is not me. Again, I apologize for any harm I may have caused. Helpfulposter 05:28, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    According to the former "Mrbelvedereposter" vandal, these accounts were made by other people.

    DickyRobert

    DickyRobert (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) was an editor who was blocked indefinitely for disruption on pages related to warez and threats. He regularly creates new sockpuppets but doesn't use them untill they're old enough to skirt semi-protection, then he'll flood his chosen targets with them, frequently using each account only once, whether or not it's been blocked.

    His sockpuppet names generally are names of famous people (User:Issac Newton), or various productions. See Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of DickyRobert for the full list of suspected accounts.

    Blocked User:Gibraltarian

    Gibraltarian (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) was indefinitely blocked in mid-December 2005 for constant sockpuppetry, personal attacks, malice and POV pushing. His sockpuppets can be seen here and here.

    He uses the most major dial-up ISP in the territory, hence blocking them or individual IPs will result in collateral damage to most of most of Gibraltar. Keep the blocks short: Enough to make him impatient to re-dial-up. Also note that 212.120.227.226 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), which is occasionally used by Gibnews (talk · contribs), is legitimate. A history of the IPs he's used may be seen here.

    Comments made by Gibraltarian may be signed "Gibraltarian": (Example).

    His purview is mostly the following, and can be identified by extreme POV edits:

    SpongeBob/The Shining vandal

    Sollog

    Followers of a self-styled god named Sollog frequently vandalise the Wikipedia. They at one point had a website at http://www.wikipediasucks.com.

    Articles regularly hit up on are:

    Sockpuppets / Meatpuppets of Sollog will usually make themselves known by invoking the name of Sollog or linking to the aforementioned site or http://www.247news.net/2004/20041211-wikipedia.shtml, also sharing a similar writing style, using UPPER CASE for emphasis. See Talk:Sollog for information on their past behavior. An example of Sollog vandalism can be seen in this edit to Henry VIII of England:

    In the past the following proxies have been used:

    The physical location for most of the attacks seems to be Atlanta, Georgia and from northeastern Broward County, Florida, possibly Pompano Beach, Florida and/or Lighthouse Point, Florida.

    Super Nintendo vandal

    This vandal vandalizes pages by replacing the page title or keyterms with the word Super Nintendo. This vandal moves at very high speed. I only have 2 IP's for this vandal but I'm almost positive that there are more.--Ichiro (会話|+|投稿記録|メール) 04:43, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    IPs used by the Super Nintendo vandal

    72.57.152.136 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)

    This user has been adding wrong content (mistakes and I am pretty sure it aims at adding mistakes) several times in wikipedia en. Poppypetty 15:15, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    66.28.32.66 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)

    This vandal has been blocked multiple times, most recently on 20 March 2006. The vandal has two consistent patterns in edits that are clustered. (1) The vandal edits pages rapidly by highlighting the entire page text and replacing it with immature phrases, the most recent of which was simply "poop." (2) The vandal inserts derogatory phrases and sentences, as well as changing spelling of random words ("biotch" seems to be the most prevalent insertion/replacement word). The vandal operates in a rapid period, typically editing in spurts every few weeks, during which he may vandalize 20 or more pages in a matter of minutes. Multiple warnings and 24-hour blocks have been issued according to protocol. The vandal does not begin editing as soon as the block is lifted, but rather, waits a few days or even weeks before making his next attack. The vandal's response to the most recent administrator block was erasing his/her own talk page and replacing it with "UNBLOCK ME NOW MOTHER FUCKING COCK SUCKER." The page was restored, notification of blocking was promptly inserted, and locked to prevent the vandal from changing it again. This vandal demonstrates consistent patterns of abuse, does not contribute meaningful information to Wikipedia, and operates in a malicious manner, sometimes even bashing persons mentioned in articles. The IP seems to be static, and given the continued pattern of abuse over several months, this user needs to be blocked for a long-term period or perhaps permanently.

    Zephram Stark

    After being banned six months by the Arbitration Committee for POV-pushing on Terrorism and related pages, personal attacks (including a racial slur [5]), and unwillingness to cooperate with his fellow editors, he created multitudes of sockpuppets to circumvent his ban, which has been reset several times. --TML1988 21:39, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Images:

    Frequently, he will upload an image. It can either be a strange one that he created, or just a random one that he swiped from the web. He also creates sockpuppets and uploads images to Wikipedia Commons. (See [6], [7], [8], [9]). They're all Zephram sockpuppets, many of the same images have been deleted from Wikipedia. If anyone uses any of these images here, he is most likely a sockpuppet. For example War on Sockpuppetism. --JW1805 (Talk) 17:02, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Currently identified sockpuppets:

    This user continually vandalizes the United States dollar page with $3 bill nonsense. All IP addresses are from/registered in Atlanta, Georgia USA.

    Erlopez2 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) blocked

    I have blocked this [ab]user for 6 months for causing repeated disruption (blanking, uncivil comments, suspected sockpuppetry) in Anti-semitism [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] and Anti-Christian prejudice [18] and for ad hom attack [19]. ←Humus sapiens ну? 08:17, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Hryun (D.A. Arbatsky vandal)

    User has declared a "war" against Wikipedia because it did not allow the article on a purported scientific theory of Dmitri Arbatsky (who is probably the vandal) to survive. As such has created many single-edit sockpuppets and has made various edits to quantum physics articles, many of them intentional vandalism (inserting incorrect statements, moving or deleting sections) or variations of self-promotion spam. See Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Hryun for a list of them. They all have very similarly uninventive names and usually link to a diff of his declared "war" on Wikipedia, lord knows why. It would be great if we could assess whether or not the ISP, who is obviously assigning dynamic IPs, is worth contacting or just worth blocking alltogether. --Fastfission 00:08, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    206.170.104.*

    Keeps vandalising Steven Spielberg, Amblin Entertainment, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, the user pages of editors who revert his vandalism, and removes warnings from own talk pages. All the IPs have been blocked before but vandalism continues... --Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 20:03, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Unemployed, living in basement, aka Brando(n)03, aka Louisville Vandal

    Unemployed,_living_in_basement (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is a troll account which was indefinely blocked for repeated vandalism. He attempts to harass users who deal with his trollery by vandalising their user and user talk pages (Including using malicious redirects) and creating fraudulent impostor usernames and attempting to ruin their reputation. He has also made homophobic vandalisms against gay users. According to User:Chris24, his name is Jeffrey Brandon Morris.

    Brandon03 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) shows strong knowledge of WpA process and culture, suggesting this vandal has done his research or has been around for a while. Many of his IPs are registered to Qwest in Louisville, Kentucky, hence the name.

    See also, Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Unemployed, living in basement.

    He has claimed that he is going to stop vandalising. [20] [21] Note that this was one of the hallmarks of the "North Carolina vandal".

    Fursecution Vandal

    A user has been repeatedly attacking articles related to Furry fandom, Therianthropy and Otherkin. The user violates WP:HA. The vandalism often involves insults aimed at these various subsultures and/or bad-faith merge requests. The vandalism also involves user page vandalism, hate speech, and is not just blanking.

    User:Fursecution_vandal's sock puppets list is here.

    September 3

    Since August 24, attacks on this group of pages are still being observed, but if they are from the same editor, the MO may be taking a turn for the more subtle. Rather than delete entire sections or add merge requests, recent attacks have been single sentences or even single words, continuing the pattern of WP:HA, but from accounts not flaunting an obvious connection with TFV. These may be unrelated incidents, but I would caution editors to keep a close eye out regardless. Baxil 09:07, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    67.185.57.48 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)

    This user has been serially vandalising articles on occult subjects, notably Dion Fortune, Adolph Hitler and Madame Blavatsky. They serially edit or remove other users posts from talk pages and never sign their posts. They have been blocked at least six times now. They ignored mediation see Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2006-06-21_Dion_Fortune which page also contains a partial list of block or warning messages that they have removed from their talk page. They also serially abuse and threaten other users for reverting their vandalism. I think this is probably a single user due to the pattern of vandalism and the fact that this IP resolves to c-67-185-57-48.hsd1.wa.comcast.net which looks like a single cable customer.

    Armking

    This user engages in circular redirect vandalism (Pointing two pages at each other via redirects). His original account was Armking (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), and he has since started creating socks. Most of his accounts begin with "arm" or end with "mra" (arm backwards)

    Asian fetish vandal

    User logs in from a randomized German IP 80.138.x.x to post racist, anti-semitic, and sexist material under the rubric of "anthropology." Uses white supremecist sources. Most notorious for persistent vandalism to Asian fetish. Also attacks Beethoven, Racial fetishism, Anti-relativity, Mongoloid, Special relativity, Anthropology, and possibly other pages. Was a major vandal on Virago until the page was deleted and protected. Also insults other editors based on assumptions about their gender, religion, or ethnic background. Banning is impractical due to the range of IP addresses used. January - March 2006 addresses are listed below. Durova 04:50, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    "The Blasphemy Guy"

    This person repeatedly vandalizes the dinosaur article by blanking it and replacing it with a Young-Earth fundamentalist Christian creed that states that dinosaurs did not exist. An example of this can be seen here. He or she also makes personal attacks against reverters; for example: [22] [23] [24].

    Some IPs used:

    He or she may also hit articles relating to Islam.

    The Middle East Conflict Man

    The Middle East Conflict Man (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), indefinitely banned from three Wikipedias (English and both Norwegians), uses numerous sockpuppets to make a highly POV edit to Socialism, as well as making inflammatory/vandalistic edits to various other socialism-related articles. As of late July 2006 he has 50 suspected sockpuppets. Blocks on his IP are apparently ineffective.

    The sockpuppets variously claim to be from two different people: given their similar behaviour, they may be treated as one entity in accordance with Arbitration Committee rulings

    Banned User:Irate

    Banned user persistently returning using revolving IPs in the 84.9.x.x and 87.75.x.x range. This users always uses the edit summary "revert vandalism", however they will frequently mangle the spelling of one or both words in the attempt.

    Emico

    Emico (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) was banned from editing Iglesia ni Cristo related articles for one year from August 21, 2005 (provided he doesn't violate his parole) by the arbitration comittee: Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Emico. He has not honored that decision and continues to cause disruption at the article and users involved with his ArbCom hearing. Emico is also believed to be using proxys to evade blocks, making it nearly impossible to confirm using checkuser functionality. A member of the Arbitration Comittee has declared explicitly that Emico's edits and edits edits of suspected sockpuppets may be reverted "without comment": [25]

    Modus operandi

    The following is a list of editing patterns which are common with Emico and his sockpuppets:

    • Posts only at Iglesia ni Cristo and its related articles.
    • Personal attacks or negative opinions aimed the contributers who are against him (mostly the ones who have participated in his ArbCom hearing). This includes, but is not limited to, comments about contributers' past policy violations or/and lack of knowlege of the subject matter.
    • New usernames where the majority of contributions are of the above point.
    • Posts coming from proxy addresses. A checkuser result has proven Emico posts from different IPs from all over the world.
    • Article edits which are nearly identical to Emico's initial edit pattern, which is explained at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Emico.
    • Insult usernames which parodies current contributers' screen names (eg User:Starbucks, User:LenlenBunting)
    • Massive ommisions of sourced content which are critical of the Church.
    • Use of sockpuppets (See Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Emico and Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Emico)
    • Use of open proxies


    Tooj117/The Geek Vandal

    Tooj117 was a vandal that began vandalising the page Geek by repetedly adding a rediculous picure of a steriotypical geek. The vandal the began adding this picture on various pages, or just doing other vandalism such as page blanking, and false information. After being warned several times, the user was blocked indefinitely. Tooj117 created alot of sockpuppets and had accounts doing the same vandalism from different IPs. The vandalism of the page geek still happens frequently, but not nearly as often as before. Tooj117 also "teamed up" with Stroon and felt it nececary to advertise their allaince and club on a bunch of pages. It seams the nonesense from Tooj117 has been reduced, but not completely stopped.

    Nokhc / aluminium, sulfur

    Nokhc is a vandal who attacks articles with unsourced comments and outright bias. His main targets are aluminium and sulfur, where he claims that the spellings are "a vulgar error that should not be perpetuated" and "a ridiculous spelling", respectively. He also seems to be homophobic (per this edit) and mysinogynistic (per this). He may be "EnthusiastFRANCE (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)".

    Other targets include Jeremy Bentham, Stanford prison experiment, Prostitution, Foreskin, Morality, Naturism.

    Disney/Barney vandal

    Since late May, this user has vandalized several articles related to The Walt Disney Company, Barney & Friends, Public Broadcasting Service and The Simpsons. His modus operandi is to introduce inaccuracies and bad formatting, much of it subtle to inexperienced users or those who know little about either subject. Edits from all IPs are identical, so it's virtually certain they are operated by the same user.

    Articles frequented by this user include:

    Disney articles:

    Barney and PBS articles:

    Other:

    User:Kenwood 3000

    This vandal has two targets:

    1. The article on jazz fusion band Brand X and related articles, replacing tracklistings and band lineups with fake ones, occasionally inventing entire imaginary albums. A giveaway is including an 'Ian Hart-Stein' in the lineup.
    2. Libellous vandalism against biographies of living persons, the majority black celebrities.

    Has created numerous sockpuppets, and further ones should be blocked and rolled back on sight.


    User:Outoftuneviolin

    This vandal uses similarly named sockpuppets to vandalize. His edits follow few, set patterns. Their vandalisms are usually written in "AOL speak" or just poorly spelled. For the most part, they're trollish posts attacking evolution and users they think are "evilutionists" [sic].

    Galatasaray, etc POV pushers

    Galatasaray and some other Turkish football articles are repeatedly hit on by an IP-hopping, sockpuppeting vandal who will engage in midless reverts of these pages to "their" version regardless of the differences. When partially protected, this vandal uses sockpuppets such as Burak18 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and Johnny200 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) to perpetrate the same reversions.

    A sampling of IPs used by this vandal will show their typical MO: 194.171.121.27 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log),124.50.89.17 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), 148.233.120.49 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), 200.76.104.121 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) 82.168.59.236 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) and 82.92.94.108 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)

    Most vandalic edits involve "Turkifying" Galatasaray or other clubs by removing lists of foreign coaches. They also add unsourced conjectures ("X'll be coach of Galatasaray next year", etc.) and removing dispute tags calling attention to their unsourced assertions.

    Administrator Robdurbar (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has been helping out with dealing with this vandal, concerns (New sockpuppets, etc) sent to him may be understood more quickly.

    Ionocraft, Lifter (ionic propulsion device), and Biefeld–Brown effect

    An AOL user has been using AOL's proxies to persistently revert two articles (one of which was moved to a new name). Their edits are always exactly the same; replacing the entire article with an old version that they wrote in a bot-like fashion. They could easily be countered by a bot that watched the page and looked for their signature edit.

    Jinxtengu Vandal

    Operating from the main account called JINXTENGU (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) this vandalizer persistently launches personal attacks, creates a large amount of malicious sock puppets, creates imposter/spoof accounts, and many of his accounts have been blocked but one in particular was blocked for issuing a death threat (see this post) JINXTENGU is also being reported at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/JINXTENGU and this check user report caused one of the static IPs to be blocked for a month. This user has also claimed to have written a program specifically aiming to create large amounts of sockpuppet accounts to override bans (see this).

    Their sockpuppets can be seen at: category:Suspected_Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_JINXTENGU. Note that Prussian Poet gal. (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and Tunisian Prophet poet (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) are both attacks on User:Persian Poet Gal.

    The following is a list of diff pages tracking some of his vandalism/personal attacks throughout 2006:

    Suki vandal

    64.110.251.69 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) and 209.107.121.103 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log): see Talk:Suki. Long-term hoax edits every month or so, notably to Suki and New World Religion, asserting the existence of a major world religion called "SUKI(tm)", despite repeated consensus to delete due to absence of reliable sources. Some examples: [32], [33].

    The IP above attempted to remove this section [34] and is noted for ranting wildly and making borderline personal attacks on people he runs in to.

    Sports television vandal

    Keeps vandalising Category:Sports television in the United States articles. Blocked several times but keeps on adding the nonsense after the blocks expire. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 19:00, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Joan of Arc vandal

    User blanks information and inserts inaccurate material to Joan of Arc, Cultural depictions of Joan of Arc, and Joan of Arc facts and trivia. Originates from a randomized AOL IP:

    • 64.12.116.XXX
    • 152.163.100.XXX
    • 205.188.11X.XX

    Changes are often subtle: adds inaccurate statements to previously cited passages, alters footnote links, eliminates references to authors who do not portray Joan of Arc in a pro-Catholic manner. Masks deletions by substituting low quality material. Characteristic traits include long edit notes, convoluted syntax, excessive passive voice, and excessive punctuation. Occasionally cites sources that fail WP:V. Very rarely, makes a useful edit. Also disrupts transgender/homosexuality articles. Possible sockpuppetry. Intermittent activity goes back possibly as far as 2004. Durova 19:09, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
