  • Randazzo56 (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log) - He has recently harassed me repeatedly about certain cars I like; he has also vandalized other pages and was once blocked for a day. I also heavily suspect that he is a sockpuppet of both of Fat Carl and User:205.188.116.203, since they have all recently vandalized my talk page.--ApolloBoy 01:51, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Williamo1 (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log) history of contanst reverts against Wikipedia consensus on a number of articles. Especially on "Roy Gordon Lawrence" and "Hyper-Calvinism". The reverts on Template:Roy Gordon Lawrence are personal in nature. I intend to refrain from future editing of those articles. Andyru 13:50, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Zerida (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log) -- This user repeatedly removes a certain category from the subcategory Cat:Egyptian Americans. After several attempts to explain that user shouldn't impose political POVs failed, and since the user has at least one 3RR violation record[1], an admin has protected the category but not in its original state[2] (mistakenly?). User's reason is that the subcategory remained several months until a user added the category, in addition to other comments in the talk page. - Eagletalk 14:54, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Projects (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log) -- This user repeatedly adds information against consensus on a ton of articles and uses many sock puppets, as well as open proxies. (see User:Dijxtra/Sock) The reason I'm reporting him here is that he seems to be using the edit summary "geocities.com/georgereevesproject" and variations thereof. Is there a bot that can look out for this summary and revert it? Thanks, Makemi 01:28, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

The article is about the community I belong to "Khatri" from Punjab, India. Mr. Sanjay Mohan has been making racist comments full of hate. I read your help section on how to 'Edit" an article, but will the User: SanjayMohan be able to go back and undo the Edits I make? The Masonic Square and Compasses. ... The word occult comes from Latin occultus (hidden), referring to the knowledge of the secret or knowledge of the hidden and often meaning knowledge of the supernatural, as opposed to knowledge of the visible or knowledge of the measurable, usually referred to as science. ... Purushottam Das Tandon // Introduction Punjabi Khatris are a community of the Asuras that originated in the Pothwar plateau (Rawalpindi division) and surrounding regions of Punjab, Pakistan. ...


Please take action in some sort of way since you have the control on who can post information on your pages.


The comments made by User: SanjayMohan include the following: > Khatris have sabotaged India and its civilization. Even the British were so upset, the Supreme Court of India ruled that "Punjabis are Liars" which is true to this day.


> The Khatris from time immemorial have a history of treachory and treason against India and its peoples.


> The legacy of Khatri community leaves a deep wound in Indian Psyche, where love and compassion was returned with vicious fraud, deceit and torture of India's greatest King and hero, Lord Ram.


I find comments such as these very offensive and an attempt to pass false remarks as correct information to millions of people. Please advise as to what can be done about this User: SanjayMohan and if any legal action can be taken by the community leaders and lawyers.


I tried to REVERT the page to an older version but was not allowed. You have frozen the page on the offensive version. PLEASE Revert back to version: 07:53, 14 March 2006 BY: 169.229.83.243


Thank You

  • Jack Scorpio (talk • contribs • Scorpio page moves • block user • Scorpio block log) -- After an extensive (informal) attempt at dispute resolution (see Talk:Coca tea), User:Joestieg created a sockpuppet, User:Ukiemob and attempted to re-introduce advertising content (identified by CheckUser). Based on the edits made, this user appears to be yet another sockpuppet of Joestieg. Joestieg has been warned repeatedly under both of the first two identities and should probably be banned. // Choess 04:13, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
    • There's a typo above, it should be Jake Scorpio (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log), not Jack. I would like to add to what Choess said that the attempt to insert advertising content began with 24.61.27.114 (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log). All accounts/ips have in common the insertion of links to "perutea.com". // Veyklevar 05:29, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
    • I would like to add that since Choess reported this, Jake Scorpio has twice altered or deleted comments from the Coca tea talk page mentioned above. And also, since this is such a convoluted situation with multiple sockpuppets, my notes on what happened might prove helpful. -- Veyklevar 14:26, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
      • This needs an admin with the power to issue blocks to take a look at this. Petros471 20:46, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
      • Veyklevar started this edit war and constantly deletes useful information that users are adding to the coca tea page. Despite warnings and a discussion, he responds with personal attacks and more vandalism. He also violated the three-revert rule (please see history page of coca tea) Thanks for your attention to this matter.-- Ukiemob 14:26, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Now one of the known sockpuppets, namely Ukiemob (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log), seems to be going through my contributions and gratuitously reverting random copy-edits and spelling fixes that I've made. See Pahang, Airport Core Programme, and Zhang_Guotao. -- Veyklevar 04:32, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Medule (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log) -- User Medule has been for over a month repeatedly making changes to the pages History of Croatia, Croatia, Medieval Croatian state, Dalmatia, Hvar, London Pact, Battle of Vukovar, and others related to Croatia by removing any mention of the words "Croat" or "Croatian" and substituting them with either "Slavic" or "Serb and Croat" etc.; or by adding information which are widely viewed as Serbian nationalist propaganda sometimes supplying external links to organizations such as the Serbian Union Congress as evidence. The dispute was tried to be resolved on the corresponding discussion pages by a number of Croatian contributors to the Wikipedia but to no avail. The user won't give up. In fact, after the protection of Croatia page imposed because of his controversial edits, he has turned his attention to the aforementioned pages and possibly others related to Croatian matters. The situation is further aggravated by the suspicion that Medule may be using the following sockpuppets User:KHasek, User:Bzezen, User:Clavell (as of March 15 2006) as well as anonymous IPs 195.252.84.xxx or 195.252.85.xxx (195.252.86.175 (talk • contribs), 195.252.84.184 (talk • contribs), 195.252.85.237 (talk • contribs), 194.106.187.133 (talk • contribs) etc. // EurowikiJ 10:11, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Samstayton (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log) - He accuses innocent users (mainly Zouf) of vandalism, has repeatedly added non-NPOV comments to the Ford Motor Company and Jaguar pages, and has attacked Zouf quite often. --ApolloBoy 02:22, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Seems to have stopped, will keep a watch for a while longer. Petros471 13:41, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
    • He has also shown quite some temper on the discussion on the Lexus LS talk page. I am quite honestly somewhat intimidated by his assertive manner of argument. He has also given me an ultimatum in which I have to delete all parts of the Luxury Vehicles article or he will propose the article's deletion. Signaturebrendel 00:59, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
      • I've also noticed he's been deleting unanswered comments on his talk page. --ApolloBoy 03:54, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • These usernames have been indefinately blocked. Probably need an entry on WP:LTA for the 'June 6 meet its maker' vandal. Petros471 10:19, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Licinius (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log) -- This user appears to be using multiple sockpuppets to vote in polls at Talk:Football. He/she claims that several editors use the same PC. However the "users" concerned appear to have cooperated on several articles to a very close degree, and even edit each others' user/talk pages. I have warned him/her/them and have grouped them under Category:Wikipedia:Suspected sockpuppets of Licinius. // Grant65 | Talk 10:19, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
The suspected sockpuppets include: User:J is me, User:The man from OZ, User:130.130.37.6, User:60.225.200.50 and User:60.225.202.61. Grant65 | Talk 11:13, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
User:60.225.200.50 has also tried to portray User:CambridgeBayWeather as my sockpuppet.[3] Grant65 | Talk 12:11, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Added users to CVU bot blacklist. Petros471 10:19, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Licinius has now disregarded the results of a poll at Talk:Football and insists on editing the article once again to reflect his/her own (eccentric) POV. I have asked an op to restore the page protection. Grant65 | Talk 11:35, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
