persistent vandalism to Internet democracy. Anonymous user (also using IP's 193.198.140.68, 193.198.128.197, 193.198.144.102, 193.198.144.79, 193.198.145.40, 193.198.129.170 and 193.198.138.46) failed to win over anybody else in a large amount of discussion (now archived) on whether to include his content.  He keeps coming back, removing the existing content, and replacing it with his own dubious version. Further, he is using abusive language toward anyone who restores the proper article text. I believe it would be prudent to place longer-term bans on his IP's. -- Stevietheman 16:31, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)

*This user is a serial vandal, having done the same thing before and is reverting my undoing of his edits, using the following modus operandi: E will vandalise minor pages (example:anna) which are less likely to be spotted quickly, and then make minor changes to busy pages to include links to the previously defaced page.

Changing lots of dates, for instance in 1984 in music and Michelle Branch, he insists on repeatedly changing her birth year from 1983 to 1984, although, for instance her official autobiography and many other sources say 1983.
Also insists on creating pages with lowercase last names, like Summer altice, which others then have to move to the uppercase version.
There are far too many changes for me to research, and this is not my area of interest anyway.  I don't know if he is mixing legitimate changes with vandalism, or is just seriously misguided, or what.

message: I have blocked User:Ma:ximus Rex for 24 hours for vandalism.  He has mirrored Maximus Rex's user page and created a Template:Racist to add to articles.  I thought it was the real Max Rex until I looked at his contributions. It is clear from copying the real Max's user page that the intent is to create confusion while vandalising articles. - Tεxτurε 22:32, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)

message: This user has been repeatedly adding an off-topic paragraph to Anti-American sentiment, and before that was making other contested edits as well. I would ordinarily consider this to be a dispute over content, but he's taken to "disguising" his edits with misleading edit summaries or by immediately making "legitimate" edits afterward to make reversion more difficult. Also changes IPs after every edit and won't respond on the article's talk page. Seems to have an anti-Canadian and anti-immigration agenda. Bryan 01:13, 6 Jun 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: I am fairly sure the only IP User:TheCustomOfLife editted from is 65.0.129.226. I have found him very responsive, and he picked up on wiki markup fairly quickly, then Wikipedia intro style, and even took the responsibility to circle back around and clean up his early entries. He has greatly expanded/improved Wikipedia coverage of US soap operas, and has turned Another World from a minimalist stub I made from the original contribution ("The emmy-winning NBC soap Another World air from 1964 to 1999 for 35 years.") into one of the most comprehensive TV series articles on Wikipedia. Not bad for someone who's only been here one week. Niteowlneils 00:04, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)

text: User:TheCustomOfLife has been incredibly helpful in cleaning up the mess left by the anon with the ever-changing proxies.  He/she refuses to answer polite posts.  I've even tried an insult, but no go.  Also, he/she never returns to flesh the articles out.  I got reamed for putting these up for speedy deletion and I am sick and tired of either cleaning them up myself or posting them for cleanup.  These should be deleted on sight as vandalism assuming that the proxies can't be blocked.  They're a waste of time, and I feel we all have more to contribute to this site than cleaning up the electronic equivalent of toilet-papering a house. - Lucky 6.9 00:06, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)
