[edit] Vanalism

This Ip: User:81.99.70.195 is constantly vandalising the Canoepolio article and turning it into mindless drivel. Is there any chance in banning him please as I'm sick of undoing his edits.

Also this IP:User:89.241.245.192 which has also been vandalising the page, and as of a few hours ago has put pornography on it too. Canoepolio 10:27, 26 Mar 2007 (UTC)

Listen, the place to put those complaints is the ban patrol itself, not its talk page. I've banned the first one, I'll take a look at the second. ~Jewriken.GIF 16:39, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Suspected Copyright Violation

The recent article 50 facts you dont need to know seems suspiciously like a copy and paste, considering there is only one edit, and although I didn't find anything on a Google search I thought someone might want to check it out. 70.88.222.85 19:59, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I just did some searching myself. If it's copied from elsewhere on the internet it's had extensive restructuring, and if it's copied from a book or something we'll probably never know. The format does look suspiciously cut and paste-esque, but I certainly can't confirm it. I'll ask the contributor for an explanation on his talk page. --—rc (t) 20:15, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
  • It certainly looks like something out of Maddox's website. 152.163.100.199 04:59, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Well, we could just VFD it and get it over with. Copyrite or not, it sucks. --Bone_F_clear.png Sir Famine, Gun ♣ Petition » 23:04, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I agree, too much conspiracty theory and not enough funny. I would bet it's not cut and paste though. Just a compliation of ideas from other sources at beast best. Although, I do think Revelations 23 would be a great candidate for a uncyclopedia page.

I put the copyvio tag on the article. --AAA! (AAAA) 19:00, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possible Vandalism ?

155.84.57.253 (Talk • Contribs • Block (rem-lst-all) • Whois • City • Proxy? • WP Edits) has rewritten large parts of George Lucas. Not sure if its vandalism, although much of the original content has been removed. 70.88.222.85 22:35, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

  • The article has now been completely rewritten. 70.88.222.85 20:02, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Best to put this stuff on the main Ban Patrol page, even if you're not sure it's a violation. An admin will check it out and decide whether it's banworthy. The BP talk page doesn't get as much traffic so no one might see your post. --—rc (t) 20:21, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Multi year/month bans

I'm considering unblocking some of the IP's with massive bans (Special:Ipblocklist) as they probably serve no purpose as they spammer/vandal almost certainly has a new IP by now and we are probably just blocking newbs, any objections? --The Right Honourable Maj Sir Elvis UmP KUN FIC MDA VFH Bur. CM and bars UGM F@H (Petition) 16:53, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)

OMG! Blasphemy! 24 year ban for Elvis!!!!exclamation!!11!!!.... No objections from me. --Splaka 22:28, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Warning possible incoming spam wave

[1], and me off to work now, oh well, have fun! --The Right Honourable Maj Sir Elvis UmP KUN FIC MDA VFH Bur. CM and bars UGM F@H (Petition) 06:52, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Must have been a problem with my spidey sense, oh well --The Right Honourable Maj Sir Elvis UmP KUN FIC MDA VFH Bur. CM and bars UGM F@H (Petition) 16:53, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Fiat panda

This page seems like a legitimate article. I'd thought it might be spam but as a User has created it I thought I'd report it here. 205.188.117.5 04:31, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Seems to be a cut/paste from here with the name changed. *shrug* --Splaka 04:37, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)
I thought it was quite funny [2] --The Right Honourable Maj Sir Elvis UmP KUN FIC MDA VFH Bur. CM and bars UGM F@H (Petition) 05:47, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)
  • I put a factual template on the article, however the author User:Pipsette3000 has since removed it without any significant changes. It seems to be a copyright violation at least. 70.88.222.85 21:48, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Neopoprealism

70.156.235.130 (Talk • Contribs • Block (rem-lst-all) • Whois • City • Proxy? • WP Edits) recently changed some facts from the original version by Elvis and, while its not a clear case of vandalism, I assumed from the "Back" message in the history that it is the author of the original spam page. While I personally liked Elvis's version better, I decided against reverting it until someone could take a look at it. 64.12.116.199 06:57, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Blanking by Author

The article Academic Resource Center was recently blanked by UtarEmpire and, while I would normaly post this on the main listing, it appears said user is the author of the article. As I saw no notices in the talk page or otherwise, I reverted it instead of putting a blank template. 152.163.100.199 22:48, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Couple of admins have left notices on his talk page. We're drawing straws to see who gets to ban him. --Bone_F_clear.png Sir Famine, Gun ♣ Petition » 23:51, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Possible vandalism ?

I'm not sure where to put this, as I'm not completely sure this is vandalism, but it appears 12.21.214.231 (Talk • Contribs • Block (rem-lst-all) • Whois • City • Proxy? • WP Edits) has been deleting sections from various templates since September 9. It could be just usual maintenance however I thought the Administrators might want to look into it. 64.12.116.199 08:32, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC)

RC's opinion is it was just someone doing helpful maintenence. See this (Yah, I reported him too, heh, GMTA) --Splaka 08:38, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC)
Yep Agree--The Right Honourable Maj Sir Elvis UmP KUN FIC MDA VFH Bur. CM and bars UGM F@H (Petition) 09:43, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC)
  • Well it's reassuring to know I'm not totally parinoid yet. ;-) 205.188.117.5 04:47, 16 Sep 2005 (UTC)

[edit] I feel like such a snitch

Is no-one else using this page anymore? I'm starting to feel embarrased being the only one here. Kind of like the snotty kid in junior school: "Sir! Sir! Wilkins wrote a rude word on the wall!". Course, if anyone wanted to nominate me for SysOpping, I wouldn't have to be such a snitch. Oh god, now I'm a snitch and a whore. -- Codeine 11:24, 30 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I like whores. --IMBJR 13:12, 30 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I dunno...they make me all rashy... --Famine 13:27, 30 Jul 2005 (UTC)

That'd be my stubble. Sorry about that, but what do you expect at these prices? -- Codeine 13:29, 30 Jul 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Recent Stuff

Massive vandalism like we just saw from 68.56.96.69 can be hidden from recent changes by appending &bot=1 to their user contributions list before clicking the rollback links. They'll be visible if you select "show bots" while keeping the default recent changes clean for normal edit patrolling. See Wikipedia:Revert#Bot rollback. Angela 09:30, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

[edit] telecom.lt

Is it just me, or is anyone else trying to hold back the urge to ban the entire part of the world which falls under 85.206.X.X.... There was some talk on wikipedia about blocking this range back in April. That IP block falls under Lietuvos Telekomas. We have 6 bans from this block this week. I don't know of a way to list edits grouped by IP, or I'd try and see what percentage of this block is making an ass of themselves. --Famine 21:11, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I'm all for banning that IP range for a week or so to at least calm things down. after that, we can see what happens. --PantsMacKenzie 22:33, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Ok, according to some user on the Main Ban patrol page, the dynamic IP is between 85.206.0.X and 85.206.10.X. So, we can block each of those 10 individual ranges if we have to. --PantsMacKenzie 02:51, 2 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Holy dumptruck of data batman! How about a graph next time, eh? Based on my skimming, I see that we have a couple of trouble-spots:
85.206.X.X
194.102.56.X (also a Romanian block, it seems)
While 85.206.0-10.x seems to be the main block (9 bans), there are three other bans from IPs above the 85.206.10.X range.

Can we set up "you must log in to edit" for only some pages? That would be another way to help spare those pages which are really getting hammered. --Famine 12:35, 2 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Those two blocks are:
85.206.X.X is telecom.lt, the Lithuanian telephone company's ISP
194.102.56.X is dtedu.net Romanian Education Network - Asociatia Studenteasca a Retelelor din Drumul Taberei - Bucharest (from http://www.ripe.net/whois?form_type=simple&full_query_string=&searchtext=194.102.56.0&do_search=Search )
At the moment, 85.206.0.0/20 (or 85.206.0-15.*) is blocked for 24hrs after more than a dozen attempts to block vandalism from 85.206.* to Lithuania and Uncyclopedia:Protected page by lesser means (including a page protect) had already been tried. {{Number of Bans|4095}} Maybe blocking the first 1023 addresses in this range (85.206.0-3.*) would have addressed most of this (at least eight bans of the dozen in 85.206.*, including the worst of the vandalism, are in that range).
All I've been able to find on requiring login to edit is a setting which would block anon-IP edits for the entire wiki [3], $wgWhitelistEdit, which would need to be in one of the config files and which would affect *everything*... IOW massive overkill. Doesn't look promising so far... --Carlb 00:34, 3 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Well, I'm guessing that the 4th of July is less important in the rest of the world (canada) than it is in the US, which means the lack of blanks/vandals/bans for the last day must be related to the above massive bannage, and not due to the holiday. So huzzah for massive bannage! --Famine 13:14, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Current bans - by IP

Tried taking Special:Ipblocklist, removing names, then sort /+25 and get this - one dozen bans in the Lietuvos Tel IP range:
