*[[Talk:ApeXtreme]]: [[User:Xino]] has turned increasingly abrasive over recent days, referring to his own arguments as "ownings", assuming ownership of pages that he contributes to, and attacking other editors ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Unreal_Championship_2:_The_Liandri_Conflict], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Unreal_Tournament_2007], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection&oldid=49013124#Unreal_Championship_2:_The_Liandri_Conflict_.28edit.7Ctalk.7Clinks.7Chistory.7Cwatch.29]). He has been subject of at least one [[Wikipedia:Wikiquette_alerts/archive2#December_15|previous Wikiquette alert]], and [[User:Zikar]] has [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_investigation&oldid=46855664#New_requests previously requested] that he be investigated as a vandal. 11:41, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

*[[Talk:Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 game)]]: [[User:Xino]] has also been getting more and more angry with users here, too. In the past few days/weeks he has reverted legitimate verifiable information on the game several times, stating we should "wait until E3", rather than post information from a magazine containing advanced E3 coverage (which he declares "cheap shots"). Admittedly I didn't handle the situation initially the best I could have, but I have been watching him edit other articles in the Sonic Series for some time - and he usually uses the same pushy attitude there, too. He seems convinced other users telling him to calm down are "sukers" and doesn't seem very reasonable at all. 01:47, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

*On [[Talk:Collapse of the World Trade Center]], [[User:TruthSeeker1234]] has repeatedly characterised my edits as vandalism, most recently in this edit summary: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Collapse_of_the_World_Trade_Center&diff=52866798&oldid=52839732]. Other examples are in the talk page archives. There is a fair amount of antagonism on the page. I would appreciate it if someone not involved could have a look. [[User:Tom harrison|Tom Harrison]] <sup>[[User talk:Tom harrison|Talk]]</sup> 18:06, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
:*He has also since carried the accusation on to the Talk Page[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Collapse_of_the_World_Trade_Center#Tom_Harrison_and_Vandalism] and has accused additional users as well.20:40, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Tom Harrison has repeatedly deleted my valid work, in order to push his personal POV into the article about the Collapse of the World Trade Center. Specifically, I have attempted to add material about molten metal, and metalurgical reports. This material is referenced to sources which Tom Harrison himself has agreed are "reputable", e.g. the FEMA report. 

I hereby repeat and reallege that Tom Harrison has vandalized my work. I believe that his deletions are founded in bad faith, because Tom Harrison is evidently well aware of WP rules, specifically NPOV.  I too would appreciate it if someone not involved could have a look.

* Hi Docu and I (Wallie) have a different perspective on a subject. It is about the [[Swiss Federal Council]]. Docu wants each of the persons in the federal council in the category, Current National Leader. Wallie believes that none of these people is individually a current national leader, as defined in the category. For example, most countries, like the United States has one current national leader, George Bush. Switzerland has seven in that category at the moment. Docu beleieves each one of them is a national leader, and you would have to ask him as to exactly why. Wallie believes that none of them are national leaders, as individually they do not have that authority. It is a complicated problem. I think it would be beneficial for both of us to have a resolution one way or the other. We really need an expert on Swiss law here. [[User:Wallie|wallie]] 23:26, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

* Stemming from an earlier dispute over the appropriate technical level for the article [[Truth]] (alert posted above, 13 May 2006), a new article [[Truth theory]] was created to cover the subject at a more comprehensive technical level.  Would appreciate guidance about the proper use of Cleanup, Factual Accuracy, Merge, and OR tags.  03:40, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
* Relatively new user [[User:Robertsteadman]]. s/he is possibly a sock of banned user [[User:Robsteadman]]. His contributions include [[Lady Manners School]] where the other contributors include Robsteadman and various [[Matlock]] related edits including [[Matlock Mercury]], which are all very close to Robsteadman's home world. What should happen now? Is this another Sock ? This user has apparently behaved impeccably since appearing at the beginning of the month, but the contribution history looks to be one [[Special:Random|Random Article]] after another. I fear this is an attempt to build a ''legitimate'' edit history. Perhaps I should just [[WP:AGF]] whichever way it is. 21:23, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

*[[User:Panem|{{{2|Panem}}}]] ([[User talk:Panem|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Panem|contribs]])
**This user is some kind of radical activist, i can only say threw his edits, persists on adding content to articles that are far from [[WP:NPOV|NPOV]]/[[WP:POV|POV]] and are vios of [[WP:NOT|NOT]], as fhr the specific parts of NOT i would say, Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought #1,4,5, and Wikipedia is not a soapbox #1.

The user has added inform that is hardly presented in a NPOV form, stating ''"the truth will make you stronger"'', several times he has made claims that are not [[WP:V|V]], and that some of the source that he has used are, impo, questionalbe at best. On at least two articles,Indina, Pennsylvania and Indiana University of Pennsylvania, the user has added information who relation to the article questionable. Attempts to either challange his edits, remov them on POV grounds, or improve them have been met with acusation of censorship.

*[[Talk:Bi-Digital_O-Ring_Test]] Problem regarding content of the page. Scientific evidence being ignored; group of editors ignoring rational argument with obvious major anti-topic biases: intention seems to be to use page as forum for dismissing topic rather than providing informatiom.

*[[User:TruthSeeker1234]] continually refers to other user's edits as "vandalism" on [[Collapse of the World Trade Center]] in both the edit summaries and on the talk pages. This has been brought up before on this page [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikiquette_alerts#12_May_2006] and he has been warned on his talk page. Today, despite all this, he refered to another user's edit as "vandalism" in the edit summary[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Collapse_of_the_World_Trade_Center&diff=54068749&oldid=54010876].<small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:DCAnderson|DCAnderson]] ([[User talk:DCAnderson|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/DCAnderson|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

* The article: [[Chigwell, Tasmania]] continues to have discriminatory remarks (calling the majority of the population of a lower socio-economic class), which are common beliefs outside Hobart's northern suburbs.  I have edited this page twice, once wiping it completely (the discriminatory remarks were put back up) and the second time I have included facts sourced from people who have lived in the areas all their lives and the Council's Mayor.  It might not sound quite NPOV but it's far from saying it's the best place to live.  Please keep an eye on it to see that these discriminatory and small-minded remarks are not put up again.

*An article about Arveragus, a character from The Franklin's Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer, appears to have been "abused" and displays a lot of misinformation, especially regarding the portrayal of the characters of the tale and their "distinguishing features". I thought it best to leave to someone with more experience. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arveragus]


*The article about English Rugby Union player Martin Johnson has been re-vandilised by ADMIN duncharris. Duncharris has replaced a neutral description of a controversial issue with his own very non-neutral rendering of events and on the talk page described his edit racistly as reverting 'Irish Whinging' (the fact I am not Irish has apparentlu escaped him).

I have posted talk items to discuss this issue with Duncharris however as he seems to have a history of this sort of thing in many articles I dont hold out much hope of reaching an agreement. What options are open to deal with a wikipedia admin that routinely abuses his position

On [[Talk:Mail-order bride]], editors have been trying to decide whether to remove or keep two sections--'''Demographics''' and '''Personal anti-fraud measures''', which appear to violate [[WP:NOR|original research]] and other policies. A long dispute has arisen over the factual accuracy of the demographics section, but the entire dispute ignores whether or not the section is original research, which was the original question. A contribution from someone who understands the policy on original research would be much appreciated. There's a vote going on [[Talk:Mail-order_bride#Vote|here]].

See: [[Talk:Memel (disambiguation)]]: Should '''Memel''' redirect the main topic of the city of [[Klaipėda]], or are its other meanings well enough known in English that Memel shoudl redirect to [[Memel (disambiguation)]].
:Memel does not mainly refer to the town, as [[User:Philip Baird Shearer|Philip Baird Shearer]] claims, but to the river, which is '''at least 50 km away''', and described as a border in the [[Treaty of Versailles]] as well as in the ensuing [[Memelland]] crisis. Also the river is quoted in the German anthemn [[Deutschlandlied]] as an eastern border of German language, so '''redirecting to the wrong place''' would insinuate a claim for more territory by the German author than he actually intended (and did). I've discussued this issue politely since [[User:Philip Baird Shearer|Philip Baird Shearer]] unilaterally moved the article from [[Memel]] to a mere, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Memel_%28disambiguation%29&diff=55393393&oldid=55331982 shortened] [[Memel (disambiguation)]], have disproven his claims twice, and yet he is insisting on it. Judging from this, he either does not understand the geograpical and historical context, or he is intentionally trying to marginalize a German expression, trying to redirect it to one from other languages which at best covers half of its meaning - Klaipėda is hardly an english word, unknown to EB1911 and the expression used by '''Lithuania, the aggressor''' in the conflict of 1923. Naming the 1923-1939 [[Memelland]] "Klaipėda Region", as Wikipedia currently and wrongly does, is already very POV, and [[User:Philip Baird Shearer|Philip Baird Shearer]] tries to push that even more. '''Memel (without disambiguation) deserves an article of its own at least [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Memel_%28disambiguation%29&oldid=55331982 like this].''' --[[User:Matthead|Matthead]] 16:53, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

* At [[Atkins Diet]] there is a user [[User:BrianZ]] who added his site Atkins All the Way to the Wikipedia.  He had it removed by [[User:GraemeL]] and was told that his site couldnt be there because he was self promoting a site.  After a bit this user removed all of the other External Links under the guise of stating that he was removing Peta sites.  Since then he continuously removes the sites from the External Links section even the ones that are relevant. 

I tried to talk to him.  I tried to mitigate it through arbitration but nothing seems to work. 

He tends to post smoke screens about the issue at hand and to be honest I think most people there are either sick of the issue or are just ignoring the whole thing which is what he wants.

He has lied numerous times and have personally attacked me on more than one occasion starting with an post of user GraemeL s talk page. 

I am not sure who to contact with this.  But would like someone to make a decision about this soon.

*[[User:Mwhs|Mwhs]] (who appears to also contribute as [[User:70.152.161.175|70.152.161.175]]) has been adding disclaimers to the top of [[Mami Wata]] (an African goddess, though Mwhs disputes even this) essentially dismissing the article's anthropological approach to the topic and stating that "[the article's] overall depiction of Mami Wata known to those born and initiated and trained to serve in its priestess- hood is considered suspect." Judging by [[:Image:Mami2.jpg|this image]] uploaded by the user, this person is apparently affiliated with a Mami Wata-worshipping group in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, who host the website [http://www.mamiwata.com mamiwata.com]. I am sympathetic to the point of view of those who actually worship this deity, but all attempts to reason with this person are being ignored. See [[User talk:Mwhs#Mami Wata]] for the discussion. Other users have branded this person a vandal, but I have been trying to reason with them. In particular, the disclaimers placed on [[Mami Wata]] seem to violate [[WP:NPOV]], [[WP:VERIFY]], and [[WP:CITE]]. Help in getting this person to engage in a dialogue is appreciated, but if they refuse, administrative help would be needed (as an active disputant, I must recuse myself from administerial duties regarding this person).

They may be part of a political campaign. I can understand their interest in removing content that may be damaging to a candidate, but they have not responded to any attempts to contact them. Several other editors have been reverting the deletions which I think shows that there is no merit to deleting the article. I am not a registered voter but I did compose the original article, which is why I am dismayed that it is being removed without any constructive edits.

''I don't think my comments in this respect were overly harsh. You have to understand that for eastern Europeans the English language is like a international ethnic property court, putting the name in one language claims ownership for that ethnic group, and gets one over their rivals. That's why all those Ukrainian nationalists want to rename the Russophone city of Kiev Kyiv on English wiki, but don't give two craps what its name is in other languages; and why the same people who were propping up the Polish name Władysław II Jagiełło were going around calling Vilnius Wilno.''

{{user|Maddyfan}} has performed several wholesale reverts of edits made by {{user|Extraordinary Machine}} to article {{article|Christina Aguilera}}, violating the [[WP:3RR|3RR]] in the process. Aside from reverting edits related to an NPOV dispute and whether a section of the article is too detailed (currently being discuss on talk), Maddyfan has rolled back removal of uncited material and MoS/formatting corrections. She seems to have a misunderstanding of the [[WP:OWN]] policy, as seen by comments such as "We will boot your butt right out of here!", "please edit again, so we can just boot you", "You come here first, discuss and WE will decide what to do. Not YOU"; she has also falsely accused Extraordinary Machine of vandalism. Maddyfan is generally incivil, and personal attacks directed towards Extraordinary Machine include "don't be ridiculous" and "Get lost". Generally, she seems unwilling to work collaboratively with other editors. 18:27, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Consider the things you have said about many fine administrators and editors. You are guilty of personal attacks but your victims can obviously handle it while you label constructive criticism and observations as personal attacks.

I'd like to request independent review of [[User:Daniel.Bryant|Daniel.Bryant]] and his reactions to suggestions that he may have erred on RC patrol. Most recently and with the least justification or provocation, this exchange ensued: [[User_talk:Daniel.Bryant#Recent_changes_patrol]]. I say most recently, because he has been notified before about the need to maintain a decorous presence on wikipedia (see [[User_talk:Daniel.Bryant/Archive/July_2006#.28Section_Removed.2C_previously_titled_.22GAY.21.22.29]], and even here he attempted to resist the instruction). Perhaps someone could make the point a little more forcefully to him that doing RC patrol means doing RC patrol civilly, and if you won't do the latter, don't bother doing the former.

:I object to this claim. I was not starting an edit war. Before I made any edits at all, and even now, I've been suggesting edits to be made that would make everyone happy. People's input on the situation was being ignored by [[User:A Man In Black]], and he repeatedly acted as though he was the sole, elite administrator of the article. An example would be how he provided choices for people to make over what pictures they wanted to use, and then went on in attempt to control and tell them what choices they could and could not pick. Whatever edits I made were in favor of those who's inpur was being ignored, including my own, and I feel this is a one-sided complaint.

A small matter, I suppose, but...
