Requests for blocks

Non-admins can request blocks here. Please start requests with an asterisk (*) then the user/IP to be blocked for blatant vandalism, and sign your request with four tildes (~~~~). As soon as an admin performs the block, your request will be moved to one of the sections below. Denied requests will have an explanation added here, and be kept for one to seven days before being removed. If you have already started rolling back some of their changes, please note that as well. Thank you for helping us keep an organized Wiktionary!

Short term alerts & new vandals

  • 68.64.50.196 vandalised Philia three times in three days. InfoSlave 22:10, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • 212.211.136.33 has vandalised 7 pages on the 2nd of April 2004 and now he did it again with the main page on the 30th of May. If he shows up again, I think he is a candidate for immediate blocking of his IP address. Polyglot 06:43, 30 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Hollywood Jam - 66.123.252.135 created "Hollywood Jam", an encyclopedic entry, on 14 July. I moved this to Wikipedia and got a message informing me that this entry was fictional. The poster has a record of posting similar nonsensical entries on Wikipedia and has been banned there. He/she also created "Tiny Toon Adventures The Baby-Sitters Club", which was also fiction. If similar entries appear here, I suggest contributions to Wiktionary from this IP address are also banned. — Paul G 15:20, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • 221.196.57.131 inserted loads of external links on the main page, prolixity and my user page. The link titles were all in chinese (or similar...). Might need to keep an eye on him/her. \Mike 09:44, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • 142.177.153.134, vandalized several pages, also created unless links (Could be User:142 from wikipedia).--[[User:Plato|Comrade Nick @)---^---]] 05:47, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • User:Jandevries went to the trouble of creating a nick. All he has been doing is vandalising pages. I'll ban him for a week. Polyglot 08:03, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • 221.197.16.90 may be the same person as 221.196.57.131 above. Loads of weird links. Look at his contributions. Pinkfud 04:03, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • 129.11.157.70 vandalized Marijuana and Qua Mjager 00:12, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • 221.198.74.111 Spammer 03:15, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • User:AAA Spammer (could be 221.198.74.111) 05:07, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • 221.197.19.225 Spammer (lists of Chinese links). Vandalised pages cleaned up. — Paul G 10:00, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • 219.137.110.229 Spammer (lists of Chinese links). Vandalised page fuck cleaned up.--Richardb 12:34, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • 81.134.125.132 - Obscenities overwriting about a dozen top level pages - see user conntributions list. All pages restored.--Richardb 00:31, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • 221.197.18.150 (lists of Chinese links probably to increase page ranking). This is not the first time (it's very likely happened more than 3 times now). It makes me wonder what we can do about it. Maybe we should ask Google not to consider links from Wikimedia servers for their page ranking... Polyglot 08:35, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • 212.135.1.83, 212.135.1.57, 212.135.1.49, 212.135.1.80 is probably the same user who is very fond of our Sole trader page and comes spamvertising on it quite often. Should we block these IP-addresses? Protect the page? There is an option to request (on meta) for certain urls to be unsaveable. I'm trying to get that set up for the urls he wants to spamvertise. Polyglot 15:24, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Blocked. Polyglot 10:52, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • User:68.163.218.28 (MasterGod in comments) blocked for repeated rubbish contributions to various "Mole" related articles. --Dvortygirl 18:04, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • 218.80.68.136 Spammed a few pages with lots of Chinese links. I've cleaned up the pages. Mairene 4 July 2005 08:14 (UTC)

http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=%C2%A0

It would be nice to see this person grow up, anyway it has been reported. Hopefully something will be done about it. In the mean time we'll just revert the damage he causes. Polyglot 10:18, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

At the moment, it looks like his mom told him it's time to go to bed - and to turn off that computer thingy. --Connel MacKenzie 06:17, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Thank you Eclecticology. --Connel MacKenzie 05:46, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)


  • 203.144.143.7, 203.144.143.6 Reverse dns points to ppp-203.144.143.7.revip.asianet.co.th. and ppp-203.144.143.6.revip.asianet.co.th respectively. (Thailand.) Apparently in the practice of cutting-n-pasting from dictionary.com. Looks like it could become a significant cleanup effort? Or is that OK for each individual entries because they don't have copyright in Thailand and/or can't read our copyright warnings?

Also, is this better placed in Beer Parlour? Tea room? --Connel MacKenzie 07:36, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

If I'm wrong, I apologize (in advance), but I still want to draw attention to the stuff that's getting submitted by [1] and [2]. They smell fishy. What do we do about them? Polyglot 17:10, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

This chap is vandalising articles with false Kyratopia translations. SemperBlotto 19:49, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
It's comforting to know that I'm not the only one who never heard of this language. I already warned him (yesterday), if he keeps it up, I'll block him. Polyglot 19:55, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

User:221.196.195.246 wreaked havoc with unbelievable quantities of meaningless links, such as in Table. Havoc undone but the Table demands satisfaction. --HelloMrMe 05:45, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

This one keeps coming back, but appears to be some kind of spambot that uses a wide range of dynamic IPs. Eclecticology 01:53, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

User:82.77.137.102 is spamvilizing Homo. --HelloMrMe 01:55, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

User:62.252.224.13 is adding nonsense involving something called Gurnig, unwarranted praise of someone infamous, and some conspiracy involving a Wikipedia Admin. Mark4011 03:01, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

User:62.252.224.12 seems to be the same person, but is more covertly adding false definitions involving Gurnig into random existing entries. Mark4011 03:10, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. Both ips blocked for 24 hours. Not sure if I got them all (you guys did most of the cleanup.) --Connel MacKenzie 07:57, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

User:60.26.37.251 is vandalizing pages by advertising via links. --Mark4011 06:19, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

user:221.196.195.162 appears to be dumping junk in recent entries. --Dvortygirl 07:00, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Tonight it's user:60.26.37.47

Multiple inexplicable vandalism by Ph34R etc (Leet for fear). All vandalism is bounded by html comments so doesn't show up. What is he doing? SemperBlotto 19:56, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Vandalizing pages. Why do vandals spray paint walls? Testing the random page feature, perhaps? --Connel MacKenzie 20:07, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Sorry for the trouble I have caused. No, I'm not testing the random page feature, and I'm not a vandal. What I'm doing is neccasary. Ph34r is eating now 20:36, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
No, it's not. No justification, no warning. Hundreds of edits, (certainly not a "well behaved" bot!) Stop already. --Connel MacKenzie 20:49, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Fine, I shall stop my activities here. Again, I'm sorry for the trouble I have caused, but it was neccasary. By the way, I am not using a bot. Ph34r is no longer eating 20:56, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
"Necessary"??? Bah! \Mike
An FYI to the contributors of this Wiki project, this vandal has attacked another Wiki twice recently, on April 16th and May 19th, showing an ability to edit and/or move pages with amazing speed. Hard to tell if this vandal is using a bot or not. In any case, a summary of events can be found here. We would of course be happy to divulge the IP's this vandal has attacked from upon request. --Archaic Bulbapedia Editor 138.130.219.71 11:21, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

User:TTYLyo505 blocked for 24 hrs - various suspect pages, either pseudo-agricultural or sexual. Some obvious vandalism. Please check all pages. SemperBlotto 07:15, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Person with various anonymous IP addresses repeatedly changes Froogle to some sort of advert. Just a mild annoyance. SemperBlotto 09:32, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Several IPs contributing tons of numeric romanizations.

Discussion moved to Wiktionary:Requests for deletion#Pinyin romanizations.

User:218.69.195.11 is dumping loads of advertising links in recent entries. --Dvortygirl 07:21, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

He started out as User:,SemperBlotto (with a comma) then became User:Roar. What is he doing with User:Roar/monobook.js ?

User:203.26.16.66 vandalizing pages, I blocked for 24 hours. Kevin Rector 01:12, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

User:81.215.250.26 spammed hello, I reverted and will be on the lookout for future edits from 81.215.250.26. - TheDaveRoss

  • User:Dittoboy blocked for 48 hours. Spammed the administrator's talk pages with the following:

I've been vandalising, and will continue vandalising, pages in order to be blocked indefinitely. After that, I can keep Bar Ilan University blocked indefinitely, in accordance with a political boycott which I am forcing on Wiktionary against Bar Ilan University. Dittoboy 17:55, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • User:Fesw blocked for page-move vandalism. Xe appears to have used a tactic of moving pages, then overwriting the redirects so as to break the undo path. --Dvortygirl 00:20, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Discussion on this tactic and how to revert it are at User_talk:Uncle_G#Latest_vandal. --Dvortygirl 00:57, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit]

User pages for non-existant users

I suspect that the perpetrator is one-and-the same as AP/Goatse/DeadThings/PageMove vandal below. This particular taunt is one of creating pages in the "User:" namespace for users that do not exist. Always from an new anonymous IP address, each day. Anyone else think we should keep a list of the IPs, as they are presumably compromised hosts or open relays? --Connel MacKenzie 04:21, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Long-term alerts

[edit]

Goatse

  • User:Jandevries has returned to add a very explicit and disgusting picture. I'll ban him for a bit longer this time.
  • User:Jandevries created himself a new nick and came back as User:MyPecker. What are we going to do about this? I'll ban him again, but it's like carrying water to the sea. Polyglot 10:00, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • 194.70.3.60 = the.dogs.bollo.cx. Added goatse link to Request for deletion. Can *.cx be firewalled away? I think we can do without contributions from Christmas Island (and who knows, they may be responsible for the poor server performance recently. That's my completely unsubstantiated guess, anyhow.) --Connel MacKenzie 20:12, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • User:Mario Dinis Vandalized request pages tempates, added template "RfP" Request for pooperism. Admins please lock this starfrosch sock puppet account for ten years until he/she grows up. Added goat.cx hello.jpg to templates. Can wiki ban goat.cx external references? Christmas Island does not have any meaningful contributors, and due to their nature probably never will. See Special:Contributions Mario Dinis] WITH IMAGE DOWNLOADING TURNED OFF. --Connel MacKenzie 22:17, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    I'm almost certain this is the same person who created Jandevries and MyPecker. I banned him for a very long time when he showed up as Jandevries. This was rather useless, since he simply created another nick and he was more visible as long as he used Jandevries.
    I tried to have goat.cx banned through the effort that tries to stop recurring spamvertising. I was told that this blacklist was not meant for content we didn't 'like'. On top of that Jamesday told me he is fully aware of the content that can be found there. Apparently there are Wikimedia projects that do have valid links to this site.
    So I won't ask anymore and we simply have to keep deleting this kind of images, while at the same thime hoping no child or prude person has to be confronted/bothered by it. It's bad enough that the people who do happen to see it, have to be disgusted by it.
    I am going to ask that this be investigated further. Jamesday should be able to check from which IP-addresse(s) this guy is working. If they're not widely different, then we can ban him on a more permanent level (where it will become a lot more difficult for him to create another user account). Polyglot 07:59, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Ass Pus/Pelican Shit/Bugger/Dead animal vandal

This vandal is a cross-project vandal, listed at m:Vandalism_reports#Pelican_Shit.2FAss_Pus.2FBugger.
  • User:Hìppietrail seems thoroughly fascinated with fecal matter and its inclusion on every page. Please block.--Alia H 08:47, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

User:Fuzzyballs did a mayhem of page-moves (including this one). Blocked for 24 hours and eventually undid mayhem. SemperBlotto 11:18, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

He returned as User:Fizzlebutt more mayhem. Blocked for 48 hours and undid mayhem. SemperBlotto 16:57, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC) Could someone else clean up next time please (there WILL be a next time)

Same for User:Twisted Dick. Undoing mayhem now... --Connel MacKenzie 05:52, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Despite User:DillyDoo's worthwhile contribution of Ass pus to the world's knowledge, perhaps he could use some time off for reflection and meditation. --HelloMrMe 07:56, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Now most likely User:Dillyputty. This person is adding an offensive image to pages, and has moved Wiktionary:Vandalism in progress (this page) several times. Mark4011 21:51, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Please. For the love of God. Stop Dillyputty. PERMANATELY. Oh God, my eyes...--HelloMrMe 22:03, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

User:Purple_Punkin appears to the same as previous. Uploaded same offensive picture again, inserting said image into pages, nonsense entries and templates, another page dealing with Hollywood Jam (which this page was moved to a few hours ago).
Please IP ban, or alternative measure. This person keeps comming back. Mark4011 05:18, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
To the best of my knowledge, I think everything has been cleaned up or added RFD. Though only the offending image and the Template:Gog is unchanged. Mark4011 06:20, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
This page was once again moved to Hollywood Jam by Yokobollo. Uploaded same image under new name Danube100.jpg. Same vandalism. Is there any measure we can take? I don't want to see that picture again. I have family who use this site, I would not like them to see that image either, ever. Mark4011 21:32, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • The only way to even attempt to stop this is to change Wiki to only allow updates from logged-on users who have provided an email address that has been verified. This has been constantly ruled out by the powers that be. SemperBlotto 22:31, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • This disturbed individual in all his incarnations is very familiar with the system. For many of these the only cure is to deal with the vandalism ASAP. If you block his user name he just makes up a new one. Eclecticology 01:53, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • If we can't block him we'll just have to bite the bullet. We can undo whatever things he does pretty much instantly. The best thing to do is quietly report him, block his new name, and undo his damage everytime he shows up. If we pay attention to him he'll keep coming back for more. Kinda pathetic actually. --HelloMrMe 01:55, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Protected this page from moves.

Same goatse. It would be nice if wiki* would at least simply block that image that has that exact byte-size, with the same CRC, from being uploaded. (Perhaps even auto-block anyone that uploads it.) Having a one-day delay on image uploads might be another approach. --Connel MacKenzie 08:05, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Same goatse. Mayhem undone. SemperBlotto 11:02, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Same goatse. This is getting boring. SemperBlotto 22:32, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Reincarnated as user Biggerone. The usual stuff. Mark4011 03:57, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Early tonight. He must have an early flight tomorrow morning too. --Connel MacKenzie 04:10, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Same goatse User:Biffiebumper - carnage cleaned up with help from User:Mike - SemperBlotto 08:09, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Tonight he was called User:Guggenheinie - no image, just carnage. SemperBlotto 22:45, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Then as User:Bill Ding he did more. Eclecticology 04:46, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
At Khaeotica he was reverted by a spammer when he put the goatse.cx image on User:217.226.40.163's spam!!! Looks like some kind of hierarchy among vandals. :-) Eclecticology 04:56, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Today he was User:Turtle with wings - Happy Easter SemperBlotto 08:20, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
This evening he was User:Fizzlepizzle - much havoc reverted by User:Uncle G. SemperBlotto 22:39, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Now MaxBlaster --Mark4011 00:37, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Now User:Tiddlyblinx - will he ever get a life? SemperBlotto 16:13, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Again as WaynePayne. --Mark4011 01:08, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Back as Zitbutt. --Mark4011 04:35, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Also Benjamin Bang --Mark4011 06:17, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
More vandalism from Dong Mung --Mark4011 08:52, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

User:Fuzzbuster vandalised the main page and various other major pages of Wiktionary, including the Beer Parlour, with "Ass Pus" added or replacing the pages in some cases. Banned for 28 days. — Paul G 08:49, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Today he was User:Highpee - we really need to find his HiPee address. SemperBlotto 09:36, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Today he was User:Lopee but he didn't get far. SemperBlotto 07:14, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
This afternoon he was User:Sidepee got him quick again SemperBlotto 14:38, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
and then he was User:Dooby SemperBlotto 15:33, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I blocked (but did not delete the user page - previous "contributions") user:80.119.211.143 for posting to User:Dooby for 10 days. Reverse DNS shows 143.211.119-80.rev.gaoland.net. --Connel MacKenzie 15:55, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
More "AP" junk from Mepooee. This time included 2 part recursive redirect, or in other words, had two pages redirecting to each other. Also used previous incarnations, Highpee and Lopee user pages. --Mark4011 03:04, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Connel, I really think you were wrong to zap 80.119.211.143 for that. All he did was cover up my AP note on "Dooby". His contribution was nonsense, but he was probably not trying to make trouble. And unlike me, he probably can't dance around your blocks. Just saying. Gottapee 13:36, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Oh my. Mr. Goatse/AP himself vouching for the honor of an anonymous IP? Aparently a dial-up dynamic IP at that. OK, this is the first time you really have me scratching my head. I think I'll leave that block up for the next 8 1/2 days nevertheless. If another sysop/admin agrees with you, they can remove the block sooner. --Connel MacKenzie 17:15, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
This afternoon he was User:Gottapee SemperBlotto 13:45, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
This evening he was User:Cowpie SemperBlotto 21:11, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
And tonight User:Moogblat. \Mike 01:13, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Also User:Beano64. - Eclecticology 08:18, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Tonight he was User:Beansoup - but not for long. SemperBlotto 21:34, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
And later User:Lugnut \Mike 10:04, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC) - Is it possible for a dev. or so to create a "block" which forbids any new titel containing these two words which are so popular with this individual? (*please?...*) \Mike
Today user:Gumba gumba (different pattern of vandalism - probably some other nutter) SemperBlotto 18:54, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
And user:Zottro - seems to be the usual weirdo. \Mike 19:48, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
user:Hatman and all his edits need to go! --Dvortygirl 08:43, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
"Ass pus" at it again as user:Chiggerz --Dvortygirl 20:04, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
And again as user:Blukko. This is getting old. --Dvortygirl 05:24, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Blocked...reverting. --Connel MacKenzie 05:42, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

This morning Ass Pus was User:Biddle SemperBlotto 07:07, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Tonight he was User:Bizzi SemperBlotto 21:25, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

And User:Nux --Connel MacKenzie 07:48, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

User:Beedy today. Banned. — Paul G 09:04, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Tonight he was User:Beek3w1 - we used to call him Guano Boy. A possible solution is only to allow edits from logged-in users who have a verified email address - but then it wouldn't be the Wiki we know and love. Maybe one-day he'll get a life. SemperBlotto 21:21, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Perhaps that should be required for blocked addresses? Or for new users from a blocked IP, require a sysop/admin to patrol the new user's e-mail address before they can post? Max 10 new users per day per blocked IP? Anyone have an active account on meta to pass this suggestion/feature request on to the devs? --Connel MacKenzie 07:48, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • The problem with this guy is that he knows quite a bit of networking and he is very good at highjacking other people's/universities IP-adressess. Even if we know one IP-address he uses and we are able to block that, he will come back very quickly from another IP-address and apparently he can keep this up with over 20 places. Frankly, I don't see what we can do about it. When he was posting obnoxious pictures on Christmas day, I asked a developer/sysadmin for the possibility to ban links to goatse.cx. The answer I got was that blocking sites was something that was only done as a measure against spammers and some wiki projects apparently used content from goatse.cx. I can't imagine what that would be, but OK, I had to accept that answer. So it seems like this guy has found a weak spot and he is taking full advantage of it. One day I questioned him about his motives and he claims to be doing it 'just for fun'. Kind of pathetic, but I guess people come in all kinds.
      • Judging by his sophistication in being able to hop IP-adresses, I am afraid he is an adult, so hoping that it is a phase he will outgrow sooner rather than later is probably in vain.
      • What the Wikimedia foundation should do, if he keeps this up, is to take steps with law enforcement. To make that successful each and every thing that smells like it might be coming from him should be noted somewhere centrally. That shouldn't be too hard. We know his style by now. Then it should be correlated with the records from the DB and all the IP adresses used. By weaving a web of all he does and the cooperation of the police and the university accounts he is using, it should be possible to come to a conclusion about who he is. It involves a lot of different parties to work together though and it is improbable that the offence is serious enough to warrant it.
      • Maybe if one of use sysops gets a cardiac arrest and dies from seeing his vandalism again, we can claim he killed somebody and CSI Miami can get into action. I'd sure be interested in seeing that episode... Polyglot 13:10, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I'm very impressed with your analysis, though that last statement is a bit silly. If you really want to waste your time tracing my IPs, you'll find that all are public, guest, or otherwise "open" accounts. Most universities and libraries have them. (This one is in Russia). I'm quite careful not to leave footprints on the remote system, so I'm not concerned about tracing attempts. By the way, the number of systems I can use is more like 150, though I have a "favorite" set that are faster and more reliable. Oh, and verified email?? Come on! That wouldn't be a problem for a preschooler these days. Nevermind, this is just an amusing game to me. I'll eventually get tired of it. 217.107.212.159 20:38, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
The idea of requesting a verified e-mail is the same as requesting users create an account...your recent usernames tend to follow a theme. --Connel MacKenzie 23:28, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Hmm, I didn't see he replied on my analysis. Of course the last statement was silly, it was meant to be. It was not more silly than relentlessly trying to cause a lot of work to our admins though. One good thing is that we can always turn more users into sysops, so what he does won't stay for very long. Time is on our side and we will create this dictionary that we care for so deeply.
He seems confident that he can wipe his tracks on the servers he uses. There will always be logs though that he cannot wipe and I'm sure that with enough determination he can be found out by law enforcement. How to get them determined to catch this guy and make him pay deerly for what he causes is another matter though. Once he does get identified though, I wouldn't want to be standing in his shoes. Cracking computer systems in many places, defamation and causing embarassment for the sites he abuses the IP adresses from, causing the lot of us and some more wikis a lot of lost time and forcing us to watch content we didn't want to see in the first place. That should be worth a lot in damages. He won't be happy he lives in the US. The country where litigation is a very rewarding game to play. Polyglot 07:47, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Back from his holidays, he was User:Phildo SemperBlotto 09:25, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Ass Puss is back as User:Bucky Beaver, back with a vengence. - TheDaveRoss
    • URGENT! This user is getting high-speed. Vandalizing EVERYTHING. Stevey7788 04:09, 19 May 2005 (UTC) </font color = ff0000>
      • Stevey, & TheDaveRoss, thank you both for your valiant efforts at slowing him down. I was offline when this flurry happened. When I did get here, I blocked the long-gone vandal just for old time's sake. (Stevey, the page move stuff is Kenneth's normal "mayhem.")
      • Tonight was the first time in a while he's posted goatse...it had only been varients of the silly AP banner for quite some time. Reverting of page moves was scarier than usual, as the server was slow and initially was showing lost history after I re-restored the various pages. (In each case, 5-15 minutes later, the history again displayed correctly.) Special:Contributions/Bucky Beaver.
      • As a result of tonight's flurry, I've imported template:db from Wikipedia, protected several more pages from MOVES only, amended WS:FAQ, and redirected some of the favorite move targets to --error: link target missing--. --Connel MacKenzie 06:59, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Today: user:Kung Poo. \Mike 07:59, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Blocked and cleaned up. Uncle G 11:20, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
      • Don't know why it doesn't show up in his contrib's, but User:Mike Loves Ass Pus should be deleted too. (Moved my user page there a couple of times... would it be possible, by the way, to lock my user page from moves?) \Mike 15:29, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
        • scone. Your page can be locked against page moves. Has it been moved a lot, though? Willy on Wheels simply attacks whoever is the first to come along and clean up. We've all suffered it, at one time or another. Uncle G 16:05, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
          • Nah, not very. And not very diffucult to replace, I guess, so no worries :) \Mike 17:06, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

::Dave, I think this is someone else. Was there something I missed? --Connel MacKenzie 01:39, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC) Just saw WS:FAQ. --Connel MacKenzie 01:41, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

User:Bilbo32 few minutes ago. --Connel MacKenzie 06:12, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
User:Dingo this time, using a combination of page blanking, layered page moving and the usual pictures. Amgine was given temporary sysop powers, since no one was about, big thanks to him for sorting the mess out. --Wytukaze 18:50, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
User:Buxlo with Recent Changes "undo" missing, I'm leery of trying to undo this any more tonight (while I am too tired to see straight.) WARNING: he may have succeded in deleting the extended edit history of my talk page somehow. I'll look again tomorrow. See also not in WS:BP about "Move" feature changes. Update: vandal started by *COPYING* my talk page, then moving it around. If I had deleted my page and just moved it back, I would've lost the edit history. But I did not. --Connel MacKenzie 27 June 2005 07:17 (UTC) --Connel MacKenzie 27 June 2005 07:21 (UTC)
