'''Cosmotheism''' is a form of [[classical pantheism]] that identifies [[God]] with the ''cosmos'', that is, with the universe as a unified whole. Etymologically, it differs from 'pan-theism' in that "pan" is [[Ancient Greek|Classical Greek]] for ''all'', while the Greek word ''cosmos'' means an orderly and harmonious universe. |
|||
Cosmotheists take this as meaning the divine is immanent to reality and consciousness, an inseparable part of an orderly, harmonious, and whole universal system. Cosmotheism asserts that "all is within God and God is within all". It considers the nature of reality and of existence to be mutable and destined to co-evolve towards a complete universal consciousness, or godhood. |
|||
In its broadest sense, the word cosmotheism may be considered simply as being synonymous with ''[[pantheism]]'', although not all modern pantheists would accept Cosmotheism as a synonym for their own worldview due to the historical association of Cosmotheism with a political movement, [[white separatism]], which some within the pantheist community may find objectionable. |
|||
According to a Cosmotheist Web site dedicated to the late Dr.[[William Pierce|William L. Pierce]]: |
|||
:"''Cosmotheism is a religion which positively asserts that there is an internal purpose in life and in cosmos, and there is an essential unity, or consciousness that binds all living beings and all of the inorganic cosmos, as one.''" |
|||
:"''What is our true human identity is we are the cosmos made self-aware and self-conscious by evolution. ''" |
|||
:"''Our true human purpose is to know and to complete ourselves as conscious individuals and also as a self-aware species and thereby to co-evolve with the cosmos towards total and universal awareness, and towards the ever higher perfection of consciousness and being.''"[http://www.cosmotheism.net/] |
|||
Some claim Albert Einstein as a Cosmotheist, [http://www.asa3.org/ASA/PSCF/1982/JASA3-82Seeger.html], along with [[Carl Sagan]], [[Benedict Spinoza]] and other historical figures — although there is no quoted evidence of any of these three claiming to be "cosmotheist" as such, and all could also be said to be [[Pantheist]]. |
|||
==Mordekhay Nesiyahu's cosmotheism== |
|||
In Israel, Cosmotheism was also described by [[Mordekhay Nesiyahu]], one of the foremost ideologists of the Israeli Labor Movement and a lecturer in its college Beit Berl in Israel. |
|||
In ''Cosmotheism — Israel, Zionism, Judaism and Humanity towards the 21st Century'', Nesiyahu proposed not to just assume the existence of God, being "prior to all that was created," but to consider God as only being a result of the development of the universe and the consciousness of all of humankind. |
|||
Divinity in this particular view is inherently a human invention. |
|||
The development of the divine (or what the believer would qualify as being "the revelation of the Divine") was, in Nesiyahu's opinion, both the condition for a more exalted human functioning and all that bears the fruit that comes out of it. |
|||
In Nesiyahu's universalist re-imagining of a secular divinity, the universal celebration of Cosmotheism is the basis for rebuilding the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, and is also a secular ethnically Jewish and a Zionist contribution to all of humankind. |
|||
==William Pierce's Cosmotheism== |
|||
===Origins=== |
|||
In the United States, ''cosmotheism'' sometimes refers to a religion adopted in [[1978]] by [[National Alliance]] founder and [[white separatist]] Dr. [[William Pierce|William L. Pierce]]. Pierce affirms his cosmotheist belief in a speech that he once gave entitled "Our Cause": |
|||
:''"All we require is that you share with us a commitment to the simple, but great, truth which I have explained to you here, that you understand that you are a part of the whole, which is the creator, that you understand that your purpose, the purpose of mankind and the purpose of every other part of creation, is the creator's purpose, that this purpose is the never-ending ascent of the path of creation, the path of life symbolized by our life rune, that you understand that this path leads ever upward toward the creator's self-realization, and that the destiny of those who follow this path is godhood."'' |
|||
His interpretation of cosmotheism ([http://baldur.libertyforum.net:8079/Our_Cause.txt]) was greatly influenced by several disparate factors: interpretations of [[George Bernard Shaw]]'s play ''[[Man and Superman]]''; strains of [[German Romanticism]]; [[Charles Darwin|Darwinian]] concepts of [[natural selection]] and of survival of the fittest, mixed with the related early [[20th century]] [[eugenics|eugenic]] ideals; and [[Ernst Haeckel]]'s version of [[monism]]. |
|||
===Religion, society, and race=== |
|||
The foundation of Pierce's Cosmotheism was essentially similar to classical monistic pantheism — he recognized no physical difference or separation between human and divine, between creator and created — but with a few differences. <!-- most notably his idea of the "degree of consciousness of the whole, within". --- This means nothing. How is that different to classical pantheism? Explanation is needed. --> |
|||
Pierce described his form of Cosmotheism as being based on "[t]he idea of an evolutionary universe ... with an evolution toward ever higher and higher states of self-consciousness," and his political ideas were centered on racial purity and [[eugenics]] as the means of advancing the [[white race]] first towards a superhuman state, and then towards godhood. In his view, the white race represented the pinnacle of human evolution thus far and therefore should be kept genetically separate from all other races in order to achieve its destined perfection in Godhood. |
|||
Pierce believed in a hierarchical society governed by what he saw as the essential principles of nature, including the survival of the fittest. In his social schema, the best-adapted genetic stock, which he believed to be the [[white race]], should remain separated from other races; and within an all-white society, the most fit individuals should lead the rest. He thought that extensive programs of "racial cleansing" and of [[eugenics]], both in Europe and in the U.S., would be necessary to achieve this socio-political program. |
|||
His [[National Alliance]] was to be the political vanguard and the spiritual priesthood of this program, which was designed ultimately to bring about a "White racial redemption". His Cosmotheist Community Church, which was to be the next step of this plan, was set up in the mid-1970s, alongside Pierce's other political projects — the National Alliance, National Vanguard Books, and the weekly broadcast ''American Dissident Voices'' — all from his mountain retreat headquarters in West Virginia. |
|||
===Critical assessments=== |
|||
Pierce's views have been characterized as a version of early twentieth century racial anthropology, but driven by spiritual, as well as scientific, beliefs. This area of his belief was likely influenced by his early association with [[George Lincoln Rockwell]]'s [[American Nazi Party]]. Others have noted the German Romantic roots that Pierce's ideas shared with [[Nazism]] and have observed similarities between the two ideologies: Pierce's plan for white divinity was similar to [[Adolf Hitler]]'s vision for the ''[[Master race|Herrenvolk]]''; also, his attacks against Jews as "parasites" on white society, who would prevent the white race from reaching its destined godhood by replacing the white elite with their own kind, echoed previous Nazi descriptions of Jewish traits and character. [http://www.natvan.com/who-rules-america/wra.pdf] |
|||
Other criticisms have been harsher; for example, the [[Southern Poverty Law Center]] has characterized Dr. Pierce's Cosmotheism as "an unsuccessful tax dodge". (Followers of Pierce's cosmotheism do call many of these characterizations erroneous, some [[National Alliance]] members attributing them to "Marxist politically-correct slander and dogmatism.") |

Revision as of 16:36, 29 April 2004
This page helps responsible users to prevent vandalism from taking place. List a contributor by IP or username, if they have vandalized the Wikipedia.
Note: Please add new alerts at the top of the "Current alerts" list.
Two levels of urgency
If you want to alert everyone, leave the Wikipedia:Minor edit option unchecked. Be careful: this is the default.
If the listing doesn't require an immediate response, please be sure to check the "minor edit" option.
Format
You can use the format under the Current Alerts heading: IP address, pages touched, damage done. For a more comprehensive guide for dealing with different types of vandalism, see Dealing with vandalism.
Blocks and other tools
For a list of currently blocked IPs and usernames and the reason why they were blocked, visit: Special:Ipblocklist. Tools for finding information on an IP number:
Adding someone to this page
When you notice what you believe to be an act of vandalism at work, take note of that person's IP number or handle. Edit this page, adding the person's IP number, and sign it with four tildes (~~~~) to give the date and time.
Then put the person's IP or handle in the Summary field and hit save.
Vandalism appears on Recent Changes, along with the id of the alleged vandal, and other wikipedians can decide whether damage has actually occurred. If there is consensus that an attack was correctly identified, everyone will help repair the damage. When the attack is finished, come back and remove the information you added.
If no attack occurred (e.g. it was just a difference of opinion about what is appropriate content or style, not intentional defacement), then the line will be removed from the vandalism in progress page. We hope cases of mistaken listing will be rare.
Please only use this page for genuine malicious vandalism, and only for a sustained attack. If you make any changes to this page for other reasons, put something like "Not calling a vandalism alert" in the summary box, or mark it as a minor edit.
Cautions and alternatives
However, please do not label isolated instances of text deletions, replacements or odd additions as VANDALISM unless they seem intentionally overly lewd or offensive. More often than not, this is just a visitor to the site experimenting with how to use it (also see newbie test) -- labeling them as a VANDAL is a sure way of ensuring they will not become contributors. Only add alerts to this page of true VANDALISM such as a systematic attack on several articles. If you suspect an edit may be vandalism but are unsure, don't hesitate to list the edit on Wikipedia:RC patrol where it can be scrutinised by other editors. Above all, please be polite at first and give the person the benefit of the doubt until they prove they deserve otherwise.
If you need help or think someone else does, please leave a note at Wikipedia:clueless newbies.
Please note that deliberate vandalism of this page is likely to lead to you being blocked from editing Wikipedia.
If you disagree with someone's edits, please see the following pages:
- Wikipedia:Requests for comment to report a dispute over content
- Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
- Wikipedia:NPOV dispute for disputes over article bias.
- Wikipedia:Accuracy dispute for disputes about factual accuracy.
Note: Please add new alerts at the top of the "Current alerts" list.

A "sock puppet" who seemingly came out of nowhere when a "Vote to Delete" was placed on an apparent vanity article about John Hassel. The page also links to an article about Bun Boy, a semi-famous Southern California restaurant. This otherwise anonymous user insists on posting a vulgar "performance art" photo showing a naked man, presumably Hassel, in full rear view posing in front of the restaurant's entrance, citing it as "his most famous work." I've tried to edit out the photo, but this individual keeps putting both it and his poorly written, POV description next to it. The same photo is on the vanity page. See also Bunboy. - Lucky 6.9 02:04, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)

User:Andrew Zito
Known for vandalizing the Deism page, now blanked entire page (added comment on Talk:Deism, without with profanity), added strong profanity to Wikipedia:Village pump and User talk:Bkonrad
Quote from Village Pump:

I reverted Deism twice (so far), and cleaned up the village pump. I did not revert the talk pages Talk:Deism and User talk:Bkonrad.

This guy (from Cornell according to nslookup) started out by making somewhat amusing and perhaps valid edits to Harvard University, e.g. changing "one of the most prestigious" to "one of the most pretentious", etc.. But now that he's been reverted a few times he's degenerated entirely into really childish vandalism and page blanking. Recommend blocking the IP username while allowing him to establish a real username from this IP, is such is possible. Otherwise recommend simply banning the IP, active immediately.
Should also add, he has attempted to make constructive changes to Cornell University, although only to enhance the existing article's account of Cornell's international academic standing. He also added useful info to the Ken Dryden article. --Chinasaur 11:44, Apr 22, 2004 (UTC)

Yet again inserted the changes made by YorubaMan into the article on Nigeria, but this time he's also graced his summary with extremely insulting references to my person in Yoruba (including calling me a bastard, a thief and a lunatic), along with the accusation that I'm "lying".

24.101.118.78 seems to either be YorubaMan, or is at least working in concert with him, as he put back the changes to the Nigeria and Yoruba articles that I backed out. In addition, he's now fiddled with the Hausa-Fulani page, inserting the sentence Hausa fulani, are not educated, lazy people, who normal drink everyday, which is clearly vandalism by any measure.

User:YorubaMan
YorubaMan (also see 209.151.129.82) has repeatedly fouled up entries related to Nigeria and the Yoruba with irrelevancies, grammatical errors and outright falsehoods - see for instance the entry for Oyo. In his comment on the edits he made to the Nigeria entry, he accused me of "lying" that "the Hausa/fulani are 2/3 population of Nigeria, It is not accurate infomation", a "lie" I clearly never committed. The Hausa/Fulani are indeed the largest ethnic group in Nigeria, going by the records of every census carried out in the country since the 1950s, and to claim that the Yoruba are the most numerous is a blatant falsehood. This person is obviously much less concerned with accuracy either in reading or in writing than he is with fouling Nigeria-related entries up with illiterate propaganda.

Long history of junk updates about characters who may be minor characters on Xena. Seems to overwrite legitimate mythological entries with them.

- I've looked into this a bit further, and after a random sampling, I am reasonably convinced that few of the characters user has added are actually characters in Xena - they appear to be fan-created characters.

Jor is inserting his POV on the consensus established in the talk page of Erika Steinbach Could this be another of Nicos accounts ? 24.2.152.139 16:40, 17 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- No, it is not. And note that the anon user has been questioned on this page multiple times before for trolling and POV pushing. Possibly blocked User:Gdansk? — Jor (Talk) 23:02, 17 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Not a case of vandalism. Erika Steinbach disputes have to be solved on Talk:Erika Steinbach, not in Vandalism in progress, Quickpolls, etc. Jor's contributions are different from Nicos.81.27.192.18 18:03, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC)

User:Nico
Having exceeded his daily three revert ration on Erika Steinbach, where he is opposed by numerous contributors, Nico has now started doing "revenge" reverts. See: [this diff] for an example. This is clear and simple vandalism of the worst kind. It was my edit he reverted, so it would be unethical for me to block him myself. Tannin 05:49, 17 Apr 2004 (UTC)
The person who should be blocked is you. As you are a known troublemaker, I was on a trip reverting your obviously continued POV vandalism to other articles as well as to Erika Steinbach. Nico 05:56, 17 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Intentional abuse on Talk:Tehran. Since the abuse is towards me, I would prefer someone else put a comment for him officially pointing him to the No personal attacks page.

Sorry if you think that I try to advertise GGSearch on the wikipedia. I think it is not fair to the creator of the tool to not have this software in the Google list. You could add a third party list. I am using his software for two years now and that is why I typed it. The reason why I did it again, and again (four times if I am correct) was because I thought somebody was messing with the text. Now there is no reason to add anything else to the Google wiki because it is already complete. Sorry again for adding GGSearch to the Google wiki. To bad you don't use it yourself. That would open your eyes why I wanted to add it there. Sincerly John Mandel. Harlingen.

User:Zw
This user is a persistant harrasser of me and has been practically obsessed over me in what can only be deemed persecutive. This user has followed me to the Swedish Wikipedia to do similar behaviour. I am sick and fucking tired of this stalking behaviour. (contribs&Swedish contribs) Kenneth Alansson 13:48, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Once again User:Kenneth Alan is adding his nonsense to this page. User:Kenneth Alan is a vandal and was blocked yesterday. His complaint against me at this page was also previously deleted. See Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Kenneth Alan for more information. Examples of his "contributions": "BUTTFUCKER JIMBO WALES", "JIMBO WALES IS SHIT". He is also considered a vandal by the swedish wikipedia community. Zw 14:05, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)
This time, I will request nicely: Please, leave me alone, Zw. I am uninterested in quarreling with you. It has been many days since I edited an article to which you first flipped out about, considering your intense interests in it. I didn't share your zeal regarding the articular issue, but you have made a concerted effort to follow me at many turns afterwards, when I had no serious expectation of ever encountering you again. Much to my dismay, although I do realise this is a public encyclopedia. I am tired of the tedius hounding you display towards me. I feel like I am Frankenstein, running from a military prison guard with a spotlight always looking for me and horns blaring everything negative to the townspeople with torches and pitchforks. You show much effort that could possibly be better directed into providing NPOV information for articles of a stublike nature. I cannot possibly be this important in anybody's life outside of the people I know, except to deranged psychopaths who thrive on things to set them off. I do not enjoy being an object of your particular hatred fixation. I also object to the many times my adding Zw to this page has only been reverted like my feelings don't matter. That's right, 'I don't have feelings to be respected', but Zw does. If you think of taking off my complaint, then take off Zw's. Don't try to beat around the bush and excuse it by pretending Zw's adding me here is any more valid. I will not be invalidated! Kenneth Alansson 15:01, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- This page is not about feelings, but about facts. A lot of people have complained against you at this page. Zw 15:16, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Your persecution of me, however, belies your fanaticism that is not shared by the others who did complain. Your ceaseless prattling like a madman all about me is sickening. How would you like it if I pointed out something you did in error or of dispute and exploited it to maker me feel better about myself, by trying to wipe you out? That's what you have done, which is a condemnable behaviour according to most societies at least in the "Western World". Relentless persecution, witchhunting and McCarthyism is despicable. You are acting indiscretely yourself, which isn't what the others are doing. You are in a fantasy that all the others are 100% sharing your same convictions and will back up everything you say and do in regards to me or other people. You are disguising your fears about your past edit wars with other people by trying to use my unrelated circumstance to do it. Once you had seen me edit something related to European Jews you flipped. It is of no difference to the past disputes you had with others, except you feel that you have ultimate conviction in "getting me"; you want to take out your unresolved feelings with your past wars with others onto me. In effect, you are trying to victimise me for your "sore loser" attitude about situations here at Wikipedia in regards to those other edits of your relational interest. I am a victim that fights back, and you know you're out of line, that's why you struggle so hard to try and fight the truth. Kenneth Alansson 16:26, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)

User RK is persistently attacking pages on natural medicine. He is initiating a revert war on traditional Chinese medicine, as well as making personal attacks. He has been asked to stop vandalising this page. heidimo 02:17, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- RK is also vandalising Alternative medicine in the same manner. His personal attacks are becoming more heated (not to mention that he calls me "he" when I am in fact a "she.") heidimo 16:12, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- User:RK vandalized Alternative medicine in 2004, to date, on 20:45, 8 Apr 2004, 13:04, 27 Mar 2004, and on 15:34, 6 Jan 2004. Furthermore, all of these reverts consisted of personal attacks directed specifically against me. His last attack on alternative medicine occurred about the same time as his attack on TCM. -- John Gohde, aka Mr-Natural-Health 16:55, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- The following quote is from User talk:RK
- RK, please be reminded that personal attacks such as this one you entered as an edit summary to your last edit of alternative medicine, "# (Removing nonsense from an internet vandal. Mr-Natural-Health is on the verge of being banned for his harassment)" is counter to well established Wikipedia policy. Fred Bauder 19:36, Mar 27, 2004 (UTC)
- RK is NOT vandalizing the pages. Discussions need to go on the various talk pages; if you insist on pushing the concept that "facts" need not be supported by screaming vandalism and reverting, the pages will be locked down with RK's changes intact. I have been attempting to review his changes, to see if both POVs can be accomodated in an encyclopedic format. But heidimo insists on reverting changes that she does not agree with and has been cautioned that is approach cannot be used. - Marshman 23:54, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Excuse me, but I know vandalism when I see it. And, I would classify what RK did in Alternative medicine as vandalism. Editors like RK should be banned. -- John Gohde, aka Mr-Natural-Health 03:18, 10 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Non-"isolated instances of text deletions and replacements intentionally ... offensive .... systematic attack on several articles" (namely both alternative medicine and TCM within about one hour of each othert and 3 attacks in 2004 alone in alternative medicine constitutes vandalism by the rules. -- John Gohde, aka Mr-Natural-Health 05:33, 10 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- The following quote is from User talk:RK
- There is an Edit War currently going on in Alternative Medicine because of RK's vandalism. -- John Gohde, aka Mr-Natural-Health 15:32, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Apparently Marshman was recruited by RK because they share a belief system, and he is now "taking over" at Traditional Chinese medicine, chastising me. I stand by my original post that I consider RK's edits to be vandalism. Marshman has apparently done nothing to address my questions regarding RK's unprovoked personal attacks against me. Since I posted a request to RK's talk page about this, he wrote that John Gohde claimed to be a Nazi, that all editors on TCM are my "allies" as if I recruited them, and implying that all of us who edit the TCM article are guilty by association with Mr. Gohde. I am deeply offended by this attack, associating me with Nazism. Does anybody care to intervene here? Is there a better place to present this issue? heidimo 16:01, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- RK is also waging an edit war over Israel and Palestine, in an effort to make these articles as biased in favour of Israel as possible. Furthermore, he suggested I leave Wikipedia for attempting to preserve more accurate and balanced information. Jonesy 21:54, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)
It's pretty clear to me that this is not a debate about vandalism, but about POV. Please don't call it vandalism when you're having a debate about the content, no matter how much you disagree. Is it a trend to accuse people of vandalism when there's a dispute about content? No matter how nasty this dispute evidently is, it doesn't appear to be vandalism. Is there a page to report fights that got nasty? Martijn faassen 23:14, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Requests for comment/RK has been created as structured way to gather support in the Wikipedian community for action to be taken against user:RK for his consistent use of aggressive editing tactics that are counter productive to the development of high quality encyclopedic articles. Now, is your chance to voice your grievances against user:RK. Please take a few minutes of your time to air your comments.

TDC won't stop vandalizing Karl Marx. He even wrote this on my user page the other day:
Please dont make me write a script to do this automaticly. TDC 06:09, 4 Apr 2004 (UTC) <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:172&diff=0&oldid=3049678>
This isn't a typical edit war. This guy cannot be reasoned with. Take a look at these comments:
172, if that is indeed your real name, believe you me that you have met in TDC the biggest most stubborn prick on the face of planet earth, and I will not stop until your stomach churns with bile at the site of [TDC]. I dont feel that this is a waste of time, I get a great deal of satisfaction out of this.TDC 06:02, 4 Apr 2004 (UTC)
TDC is a vandal who ought to be banned, and the page ought to be protected for now. 172 22:00, 4 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- TDC created an article about "Oil for food allegations" when he saw his edit wars at the 2003 invasion of Iraq were fruitless, and then tried to vandalize against the consensus to merge his allegations into the Oil for food article. His continuously inappropriate writing ("suck your own dick" [12], "you have met in TDC the biggest most stubborn prick on the face of planet earth, and I will not stop until your stomach churns with bile at the site of [TDC]" [13], or "whine fest" [14] shows very well this person is not here to contribute valuable information.
- When his attempts to delete "The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed hundreds of thousands of people, most of them civilians, and their military use remains controversial." from an article failed, he claimed that only "limp dicked western historians" [15] doubt his opinion and later changed the statement into "The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed an estimated 275,000 people, most of them civilians, but many credit their use with ending the Second World War." [16]
- He then listed the article for deletion without any explanation at talk and kept reverting rather than argumenting. [17] Get-back-world-respect 23:43, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- These changes seem perfectly reasonable to me, and his listing of any page on VfD can stand or fall on its own merits. I fail to see how what you posted here is even close to vandalism. RickK
- So "limp-dicked historians" is perfectly reasonable and it is ok to ignore the policy to discuss before you list for deletion unless the case is clear? Why don't you log in if you write here? Get-back-world-respect 00:03, 23 Apr 2004 (UTC)

- His dick-speach is unacceptable, so are his continuous edit wars, and I even regard his listing for deletion as vandalism because he did not discuss it at all before and just used it on a page that did not fit with his personal view.

The articles dealing with Yiddish language and Germanic languages are vandalized not only at the English Wikipedia, but in numerous languages (German, Dutch, French, Swedish, Norwegian, Esperanto, Romanian, Polish, Catalan etc.) in a massive attack by User:Kenneth Alan, [[:sv:Anv%E4ndare:K%E4nde_Aulan]] aka 68.0.146.17 (also known as 68.0.149.88, 68.0.146.230, 68.0.144.17, 68.0.144.217, 68.0.150.158, 68.0.151.124, 68.0.152.92, 68.0.152.146 68.0.152.245 68.0.179.82 68.225.148.238 68.225.150.66 68.225.150.160). It caused a lot of work to clean up after him, he should certainly be blocked before he make more damage. // Zw 21:47, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- He is still active, and just vandalized Yiddish language again, although I've asked him to stop. He also vandalized West Germanic language. Someone please block him. Zw 22:33, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Generally I will say he seems to be intentionally adding junk and inaccurate information to Wikipedia. At least he has zero knowledge of the issues he is writing about. His vandalism is very annoying, because he is doing it on all wikipedias which have articles dealing with Yiddish and Germanic languages. A wikipedia-wide block should be in order.

Thank you again, Dr. FASCIST!

- Next time I'm being talked about in the third person somewhere or other, could someone let me know on my user talk page? I just stumbled across mentions of myself cuz I happen to be watching the right pages. Anyway, I moved the discussion because I feel that this page is for simple vandalism, not POV disputes etc., though I know others feel differently. This should more be discussed on the relevant talk pages, followed by the user talk page, followed by a request for comment (which I understand exists). But it's not up to Kenneth to revert edits about himself; at the very least it makes him look bad. And while I'm here, may I please point your attention to Wikipedia:No personal attacks? Thank you. moink 05:19, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- I apologise, moink. Kenneth Alansson 04:14, 10 Apr 2004 (UTC)
It felt automatically ad hominem because the chiding upon me wasn't a dispute with the content per se, which I am better able to handle by explaining. I have felt myself clam up upon the scolding and not wishing to provide my reasons or sources. I am not good at handling conflict. I have become more happy with people when they stop: spitting rhetoric about how I am a "vandal" and immediately discounting every view or contribution I present, reverting just about everything they see from me. OOH, blockityblockblockblocky, baaaan meeeeee! Kenneth Alansson 04:17, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)

All the info you need can be accessed from this page into other areas of the website by the links provided. Moink had redirected this issue and stated that I wasn't a vandal, to which our favorite Zw vandal had reverted and added a lot of hate in my direction, just to get it back and whine further about all the energy (s)he's putting into my affairs, rather than working on other Wikipedia projects and trying to benefit the website. It has become a singular crusade/witchhunt by this user against me. For instance, I didn't attack the languages, just tried to clarify what I saw as an error. You can clearly see the irrational vehement and debasive elements sought by this character towards my fate as a contributor. Kenneth Alansson 03:13, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)

This individual appears to have created his/her login for the sole purpose of vandalism. The deceptive use of edit summaries and the minor addition tag is damning. Special thanks to Moncrief for catching it. The current block is only for the default 24 hours; as I'm still a rather new admin, I didn't want to overstep my bounds. A longer block may be necessary. -- Hadal 07:08, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I did some tracking of this user. There's a pretty good case that this user is not just Lord Cornholio et al, but also at least twenty different IP addresses. The reason I have these suspicions is based on the fact that the IPs are often used to vandalize the same page: He gives each page 3 to 7 tries, and doesn't realize we're smarter than he is. Perhaps an AOL user? If my suspicions about him and his identities are correct, he's been vandalizing pages throughout the month of March, even up to today, and may (I say may, because I don't know) be the one launching attacks against RickK.

- That is a slanderous cheap shot, thrown with the confidence of mob support. Brd
Bird seems to be mostly or totally blanking articles, most of which the user has contributed to extensively, or even exclusively. The big exception to this is the brain article. That was almost completely blanked with allegation of a copvio. I checked and the standard procedure for copyvios had not been followed which lead me to follow this up. I'd say bird requires watching over the next few days. David Newton 17:22, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- To get some context here, you might want to review Talk:Brain and also, User talk:Bird, before it was blanked, when I and Bird were having a discussion see this edit: [18]. It appears that our peer review standards were not high enough for Bird or something. Anyway s/he seemed to get bent out of shape about image formatting and decided to just leave. --Lexor|Talk 17:38, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Bird now appears to be going by the name of Accuracy dispute. Washington irving 19:56, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- It appears that User:bird has now recruited a sock puppet. User:Accuracy dispute has already undone some of the reversions that were made to articles earlier. We have to sort this out.
- There are two separate problems I see. One is that we have to stop Bird and sock puppets blanking articles. The other is that we have to investigate whether the articles are indeed copyvios, and if they are, we need to delete them. I'm going to protect pages that Bird is messing with so that we can sort this out once and for all. David Newton 20:01, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Where can we continue discussion of these pages. I can help re images. and original content. Washington irving 20:04, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Sorry, but you are the vandals. User bird questioned the integrity of contributions under that byline, and several users decided they would rather have innaccurate articles that were not even recognized as valid by the author. User bird stubbed the articles so better informed writers can fill them in when they find time, between their important task of telling other writers what they should do.
- Where can we continue discussion of these pages. I can help re images. and original content. Washington irving 20:04, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- A mob of vigilantees moved into the USER_talk:bird page to tell user bird what user birds problem was but of this cabal of very intelligent encyclopedia writers, not one has attempted to accurately articulate what were birds concerns, and in the rush to lynch a vandal, few cared that it was bird questioning the provinence of bird's contributions. This can go on forever or people can respect that others do thing they might not want them to do and accept the loss. That is the outcome of this: the user name bird is lost to this community and I will not repair it. If people want this to stop, they will start researching and contributing to articles and will not grab a rope and yell vandal when somebody else makes a severe edit on text they wrote but can't fully trust. Or, you can spread the false romour that bird created intentionally false articles meerly for the opportunity to the be victim of a lynch mob.
Adding material of dubious provenance surreptitiously, then announcing it to be a copyright violation without specifying enough to allow its clean removal and then creating confusion with sock puppet user-ids constitutes bannable behaviour in my opinion. Pretending to do so likewise. I suggest starting on the procedure for banning Bird in all its incarnations. -- The Anome 16:58, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)
There was no serruptitious action. The material was added over the course of several weeks, there were comments added to the talk pages inviting criticism, such as the posting of a list of names of the cerebral hemispheres about which the user had honest doubts but attempted to make a good faith effor to identify. After the questionable identifications were on the talk page for two days, the user assumed them to be accepted by others who said they were watching, and placed them on the talk page. Further research led to further understanding about the regions, and more accurate identification and the user updated the caption to reflect accurate information.
When other users began to question aspects of the layout, users doubts further increased, and the user began reverting text about which user had doubts. If this is a project that ejects members who continue to question their writing after it is completed, or who do not allow other members to rest their confidence in content on the identity of an author, then that arbitration committee probably better just arbitrate, because that is the only standard at play - one which is arbitrary and capricious.
The user claims the user was hazed. There have been reports that new identities introduced in this environment were treated with either hazing or warm encouragement depending largely on political affiliation and acquiescence to acts of group agression. User:Your_Love_Is_Hollow

What you falsely call "apologist" is actually just the Wiki NPOV based upon the objective facts. I only reverted or edited to make the article NPOV and factually accurate.

Well, Nat, aka, James D. Quirk, you are up to your usual SSEE censorous bigotry and lying hypocrisy, eh? I guess that your "psycho-active" drugs were completely ineffective, afterall, and they still have not given you any actual "personal integrity", and they never would nor could.
Such is life!
Best regards,
Paul Vogel aka the NEEDLE
- My main problem with this user is not so much with the content he has added to pages (my threshold for tolerance of opposing viewpoints is high enough to let him slide under it, even though I disagree strongly with his opinions), but rather with the insults he has repeatedly flung at other Wikipedians. On more than a dozen occasions, he has refered on talk pages to other users as "Marxist-PC bigots," "lying hypocrites", and "SSEE" (an acronym he has apparently coined himself, meaning "Selfishly Subjective and Egotistical Egoism", which he has used on other websites before). He should be re-banned not for his edits, but for his repeated (and repetitious) insults. Andrewlevine 03:58, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Sure Andrew. You don't seem to have any "main problem" with other Wikipedians, like David Gerard, etc. ad nauseum, falsely accusing me of being a "Nazi", or of being a "racist", or of being "anti-semitic", etc. etc.
- I assume you can provide references to me saying all of those, then?
It is quite obvious that you are a "hypocrite", Andrew, in your "main problem" with me, as you call for my banning, only, which is the point.
- Other people keep reverting your edits because you spam them all over the place without regard for appropriateness or what makes a coherent sentence in English. Is grammar now Marxist-PC Bigotry? - David Gerard 17:27, Mar 31, 2004 (UTC)
On the contrary, my providing links to any appropriate articles is not SPAM, whatsoever, and this is true whether in your POV happen to think so or not. Coherent sentences or grammar have never been any issue, but, is merely just another "straw-man" or "red-herring" arguement of David's and of which is quite typical of him. What else isn't new?
Best regards,
Paul Vogel
As for those few and quite specific descriptions of some "others" that you just happen to have a "main problem" with, these very descriptions are both quite accurate and factual, and are based upon the actual "behavior" and upon the actual POV's of those few Wikipedians mentioned above, yourself included, Andrew, of being "hypocritical", that have unfairly always attempted to either ban or to censor me, or "revert me" and based solely or mostly only upon my own cosmotheist religious/philosophical ideas and ideals.

Moreover, its talk page not only has an obscenity on it, but has been protected, though it is not on the list of protected pages. I don't see any discussion of this in the usual places (unless there's a usual place I'm just unaware of). What's going on here? -mhr 18:58, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- The talk page is not actually protected, it just had the protected msg. As for the article, it may never have existed. --No-One Jones 19:03, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- I'm sure the article existed. I've read it before (which is why the change to the talk page was showing up in my Watchlist today), and there was even a debate on the talk page about including some content from an external Web site (possibly here, but I'm not certain), which the author of said site wanted to include. It's a bit disturbing that it seems to have up-and-vanished... -mhr 20:52, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- It did indeed exist. Snoyes deleted it in December as it was apparently a copyvio. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 23:38, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- I'll write up a new page. Taco 02:44, 13 Feb 2004 (UTC)

User:Mariusz Marcel Ernst
(User:Mariusz Marcel Ernst | talk | contributions) Only edits seem to be adding self in article space (List of Germans for example ), and childish vandalism re User:Secretlondon/User:Secretlondon/Children. Immediate block perhaps? Dysprosia 20:07, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- I left him a polite note asking him not to add himself to these lists - and he declared war on me :( Secretlondon 20:13, Jan 27, 2004 (UTC)
- Returning under lots of (mostly obvious) user names which tend to get blocked by multiple people within the first minute, but still being a royal pain. Pakaran. 21:34, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)

- (User:203.10.59.63 | talk | contributions)
- He's been doing this off and on since late February, sometimes replacing a whole article with one word, sometimes inserting an improper word into the middle of an article. Five vandals within a two minute period earlier today. He needs to be blocked, and blocked good. Postdlf 14:16 10 Apr 2004 (UTC)
195.92.168.172,174,175
(User:195.92.168.174 | talk | contributions ) is wiping others' comments from talk pages -- see [19]. Needs close watching.
Keeps adding "a hobby for middle-class women, who have plenty of spare time since abandoning traditional activities like sewing and cooking." to Feminism, despite being told not to.
May want to count in (User:195.92.168.172 | talk | contributions) - seem to work in tandem or something. They don't seem to quite get NPOV. Dysprosia 14:43, 21 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- Current Feminism article is simply a celebration of an ideology with no balance
- Whatever. If you want to criticise, read this article, understand it, and then go ahead and criticise according to this policy. Otherwise, we cannot accept your contributions. Dysprosia 14:48, 21 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- I have read and understood - I suggest you do the same
(User:195.92.168.175 | talk | contributions) mere vandalism, page blanking, falsification of user comments: seems to have it in for Secretlondon: IP now blocked -- The Anome 16:37, 25 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Persistent Vandalism

137.94.11.222 / 205.189.49.40
is consistently vandalising Indian independence movement and Subash Chandra Bose with his PoV. The user seems to be ignorant of the usage of his/the article's talk page, and never reads the edit summaries. He has not responded to any request to consider rephrasing or properly substantiating his claims.
He sometimes blanks the article page to post his comments and has consistently in the past used (and has been warned for using) copyrighted material for presenting his case. A case in point is his repeated insistence in adding Swami Vivekananda to the list of Indian freedom leaders, and his blanking the contents of Subash Chandra Bose in the past (Without any substantial evidence, that would at least make it a NPOV dispute and could be dealt with)
There seems to be no way we can communicate to this user and reach a compromise. The user has not made any other worthwhile contribution to wikipedia. I advocate banning this user's IP address. chance 09:15, Dec 3, 2003 (UTC)
- A consistent vandal, comes back almost everyday to make the same changes. Also has used the IP 205.189.49.40 . Has been vandalising regularly since 17 Nov, the latest being 5 Dec. Is exploring and moving on to newer pages. Jay 22:10, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- 205.189.49.40 has been vandalising Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru in the pattern same as above. Requires immediate blocking. Jay 08:23, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- I see 4 acts of vandalism over 24 hours - how does this "require immediate blocking?" -- Pakaran 08:26, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- I don't know. But, 137. shows no signs of tiring. He may not be a vandal who believes in blitzkrieg attacks, but as can be seen from his yesterday's edit in the Indian independence movement page he is madly persistent - saying the same things all over again, and my, what a nauseating plagiarist he is! This fellow cannot even bring himself up to defend what he says, with a few words of his own. I am sick of this attitude. I bet he is waiting for us to tire of him, and let him do all he wants, however stupid that may sound. If this is not persistent vandalism, what is? Something has to be done about this. Maybe a protection request for the pages, and not allow others edit? To protect the articles from one single person? chance 08:44, Dec 11, 2003 (UTC)
- 137's contribution for 9th Dec was the vandalising of Mahatma Gandhi. Protection of pages won't help as there's no dearth of articles for him to play with. Maybe ban the two IPs and check if he comes up with new ones. Jay 09:12, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- The requests of non-anonymous users who have clearly been investing a lot of time undoing the damage of an anonymous user should be honored as soon as possible. Peak 08:48, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- 137's at it again (on Indian independence movement! Grrrr. The 137.* address is registered to Royal Military College, Ontario, so we'll have to keep an eye out for Good Guys who get banned too. The other address is an ISP. Could someone please block this guy? Gaurav 17:47, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- And.... (Is it me who is getting annoyingly repetitive :-) ? )... again on Dec 12 in the articles, Indian independence movement and Swami Vivekananda. Seriously, when does a user get banned? How more serious should it be than this? One user who has done nothing to wikipedia for the last one month, except defacing the same set of articles still lurks around, quite freely. I would appreciate if some sysop takes note of this and suggest what should be done. It has been nearly two weeks, and nobody seems willing to check this user :-( chance 05:22, Dec 15, 2003 (UTC)

- No longer blocked and he is back with his antics again in Indian independence movement. Has he been removed from Blocked IPs? I dont see the IP there. chance 04:55, Dec 19, 2003 (UTC)
Repeated Vandalism by 12.64.etc/12.65.etc
Over a long period of time several hoaxes have been added to Wikipedia from these IP ranges. Many of these hoax articles seem perfectly reasonable at first glance, often mixing facts in with the fiction. One of their favorite targets seems to be LeAnn Rimes. Some have been in concert with User:199.248.201.253. I am not sure if they are from the same user, but they appear to be. Examples (very incomplete):
- Bonnie added by User:12.64.96.86, co-vandalised by User:199.248.201.253 and User:12.64.96.74
- Slope_field added by User:12.64.96.60, co-vandalised by User:12.64.96.112 and User:199.248.201.253
- Bryleigh's_Theorem added by User:12.64.96.112, co-vandalised by User:199.248.201.253
- Jayne Bryleigh added by User:199.248.201.253
- North Sodor, Gatineau Toll Road added by User:12.65.24.47
- Goebbels Equation added by User:12.65.0.158
I am posting it here so that hopefully more people will see this. --Maximus Rex 08:17, 20 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Someone needs to put this entire class C network on permanent ban. Repeated vandalism, all the same style, also many deleted pages that were hoaxes. First, the IPs that have histories (I checked every IP on the subnet). Daniel Quinlan 20:45, Dec 11, 2003 (UTC)

add to the mix these pages which are deleted (or not, someone is restoring them against policy to delete obvious vandalism)
