Wookieepedia:Vandalism in progress

This is Wookieepedia's page for reporting acts of vandalism in progress.

The purpose of this page is to provide a reporting function for Wookieepedians who notice acts of ongoing or repeated vandalism.

For those familiar with Wikipedia, this page and the corresponding talk page will serve as a simplified combination of the VIP and AIV pages.

Please add vandal reports under the appropriate heading, "Current IP alerts" or "Current RU alerts," in the following format:

Current Date

Followed by a description of the act(s) of vandalism, and your signature (by typing ~ ).
 * Subsequent details should be added under the initial report in this form.

Always preview the page before submitting your report to avoid problems with formatting.

This page is subject to changes in content and format as our userbase grows and our reporting process evolves.

IP addresses
Please report vandals who are operating under anonymous IP addresses. Newer reports should be placed at the top of the section.

Vandalized Revenge of the Sith.-User:Remoh

removed all site descriptions and formatting from List of fan sites. Adding some sites that have their own articles (TFN) could be excused as ignorance, but removing all the formatting? Dark Spork 19:53, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Vandalized CC-4447 and Palpatine pages with childish nonsense - Kwenn 23:36, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)

January 5, 2006 created Teircam Dam, then proceeded to add nonsense to it. TIEPilot051999 23:19, 5 Jan 2006 (UTC)

twice has vandalized Star Wars Battlefront II with smart remarks that include coarse language. --Esplin 21:41, 5 Jan 2006 (UTC)

used profanity to express his hate towards Jar Jar Binks. --Master Starkeiller 14:58, 5 Jan 2006 (UTC)

, harassing Azizlight. &mdash; Silly Dan 14:30, 5 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * WHOA THERE NOW! Why, when I try to reconcile with him, and get him to act more polite and civil (like the angelic Wikipedia admins), you think that's HARRASSING?? "There's Still Some Good In Him." (- Padme, speaking of Anakin), so I'm trying to calm his anger and restore his jedi-like temperament (and therefore, bring out the good from deep within him, so that he gets rescued from the abyss of the Dark Side). If he gives in to anger, as he's been doing a little bit of, he'll become more evil, which is what happens to fallen Jedis that have done just that. Why do admins have to have coarser temperaments here than on Wikipedia? Are Australian SW fans usually like this? Hopefully not, so someone please see if he's had a bad time in RL lately and possibly give him some help. --68.102.193.78 22:14, 5 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Guess what? You've earned a one day ban. Hope you enjoy it. QuentinGeorge 22:42, 5 Jan 2006 (UTC)

January 3, 2006

added a useless section filled with personal opinions about The New Essential Chronology about why there is nothing wrong with WotC's assumption that Dathka Graush died in 7,000 BBY in a way that harmed the article. --Master Starkeiller 12:12, 4 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Has done at least one nonsense article.TIEPilot051999 05:05, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)

vandalized Yoda. --Azizlight 03:40, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)

January 2, 2006

vandalized Galactic Empire and a bunch of other articles KEJ 21:47, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)

First of the new year :P Is very insistent with unsourced or false edits about separatists and neimoidians. Would be appropiate trying to find if Lott Dod's aides have an official name, as this anon claims (Google search gives no matches, SW related or any). --Thinortolan 12:46, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I've put a sources tag on the page in question. If he doesn't put up a source, we'll deleted the page and remove the name from the Neimoidian page. Admiral J. Nebulax 12:50, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)

 * Also blanked Attack of the Clones and The Phantom Menace KEJ 00:08, 28 Dec 2005 (UTC)

This one is vandalising the Boba Fett and Jango Fett pages, saying their species is Mandalorian, and not human. --Xilentshadow900 16:27, 27 Dec 2005 (UTC) Now he's vandalising the Mandalorian page.--Xilentshadow900 16:36, 27 Dec 2005 (UTC) ... He's also 'mandalorianized' Canderous Ordo KEJ 16:42, 27 Dec 2005 (UTC)

December 25, 2005

I just have a bad feeling about this one for now. Did a lot of planet editions in only 3 days, a few checked were incorrect. Please have an eye open on this IP. If time allows me to, I'll post a confirmation --Thinortolan 10:20, 25 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * After reviewing, looks like this anon is just using wrong sources and pasting lines from other webpages with minor or no editing, nothing like intentional vandalism, but lefts a mess behind. --Thinortolan 00:34, 27 Dec 2005 (UTC)

vandalized 20,000 BBY and First Arkanian Conflict. --MarcK [talk] 07:25, 25 Dec 2005 (UTC)

 * Keeps rabbitting on about this Zen Carsoni character of his/hers; used abuseive language in talk-section. KEJ 19:36, 3 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Reinciding (see Nov 24). Though uses dinamic IP, is a short range and repeats for the same user along time, could worth a indefinite lock without damaging any inocent. --Thinortolan 14:00, 2 Dec 2005 (UTC)

 * Looks like this guy owns the IP range, he is at it again. Geekmasterflash 04:56, 1 Dec 2005 (UTC)

, has contributed nothing but nonsense really, insists on recreating the Bastard Castle article. Might not be actual vandalism, but quite annoying. Also is a somewhat controversial Wikipedian - User:Shultz - who has been blocked at least once from there. Needs to be watched. --Azizlight 16:04, 30 Nov 2005 (UTC)

(MY TAKE ON IT), has contributed plenty of nonsense, insists on recreating the Bastard Castle article on the assumption that Bast Castle was truncation of its supposed original name. Might not be actual vandalism, but quite annoying. Also is a somewhat controversial Wikipedian (How so? Clarify.) - User:Shultz - who has been blocked at least once from there. Needs to be watched. The explanation for his "Bastard Castle" hypothesis (or surmisal) is found here. --68.102.193.78 06:51, 5 Jan 2006 (UTC)

November 29, 2005

I've noticed a number of edits in the same pattern made by what I assume is the same anonymous - 86.128.89.11, 86.128.151.166 and 86.128.153.190. A Whois search shows that these are all BT Internet IPs, and I suspect, since BT operates dynamic IPs, all the same user.

All these edits have been made in defence of Star Wars Technical Commentaries material, primarily, I think, in counter to places where I've made previous edits. The difficulty is that I'm not exactly without an opinion here (and to make matters worse, two of the three tranches of edits are on a page that's currently suspended pending a Wookiee war involving me) but I thought I should bring it up to get other people's POVs. I'm happy to explain where I think the source is unambiguously wrong in all these cases - and happier still if people can clean the bias out of what I write!!

If this is a troll, banning the 86.128.x range might exclude other legitimate users, though (BT is one of the UK's biggest ISPs). *frowns* But if the admins can pull a search on that range, it may turn up other interventions.... --McEwok 00:08, 30 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * That isn't really vandalism. More of an edit war involving anons. QuentinGeorge 05:25, 30 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Your judgement's better than mine, QG. Thanks for looking into it. --McEwok 02:31, 1 Dec 2005 (UTC)

November 27, 2005

, minor vandalism, added obscenities to the Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi pages. I fixed the Anakin Skywalker page, but the Kenobi article still needs a revert.--Knightfall 21:50, 27 Nov 2005 (UTC)

, deleted content and added obscenities to the Ailyn Vel article and talk page. --Azizlight 04:39, 27 Nov 2005 (UTC)

blanked a paragraph in Jedi Exile without explanation. I reverted and asked him not to do so in the future, but he blanked it again (reverted by Starkeiller). - Sikon [ Talk ] 14:14, 24 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * This paragraph has once again been removed, this time by . - Sikon [ Talk ] 16:15, 28 Nov 2005 (UTC)

November 19, 2005

This guy came back as soon as the IP block expired and once again overwrote fanon with his fanon about the repeatedly-deleted "Legacy class star destroyer." Need a re-ban ASAP.

November 17, 2005

Making bogus articles. Kuralyov 02:58, 18 Nov 2005 (UTC)

November 16, 2005

Vandalised the Category:Comics section, the Military stub page, and added a bunch of dubious edits to pages about the GAR. Kuralyov 00:59, 17 Nov 2005 (UTC)

vandalized Mando'a. I reverted it.

Makes nonsense edits.

Steath vandalized numerous planet articles, created fanon planets and systems such as Blimph system, Gork and Zog.

This may be a misunderstanding and not vandalism, but this person has redirected the article about The Longshot from Star Wars: Bounty Hunter to the article featuring the Millennium Falcon. This person has also completely destoryed or deleted the text from the article.-Dude984 12:31, 6 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Should merely be a slight error, Kuralyov does dozens of possitive edits everyday. Longshot shound't be a redirect to the Falcon, but it seems there was no previous edits, so the text was not deleted (a regular user can't alter the edit logs), you may be looking for Long Shot. --Thinortolan 21:50, 6 Dec 2005 (UTC)


 * And again, adding more fanon. More information about Denon...lots and lots of fanon in his history. -Jaymach Ral'Tir 12:31, 6 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Sincerely, we have given too much chances to this user, who hasn't replied to a single post in the user talk page and continues to do random edits with false information, I don't think that doing 1 productive minor edit out of 10 means a user is doing some mistakes, it means that is doing 9 destructive edits out of 10. Please admins, do something. There are some editors, including me, that have been wasting time cleaning this user's mess for more than 2 weeks. --Thinortolan 21:50, 6 Dec 2005 (UTC)

 * Seconded. Some of Hatheway's edits are reasonable, but too many of his or her contributions consist of unsourced substubs, adding random creatures to legitimate articles, and other things which imply either total confusion or deliberate vandalism.  Check the history of Corellia for examples.  &mdash; Silly Dan  01:14, 25 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * This user is either a child who don't understand that this site is not made to random play with, or a twisted vandal who understand that aggresive vandalism is blocked fast and try to confuse mixing a few legitime edits with a bunch of less noticeable chaos. By the Living Force, ban this monster ASAP. --Thinortolan 14:00, 29 Nov 2005 (UTC)

User:McEwok has been deleting canonical information about Imperial ship-classifications (which were provided with multiple sources) three times from the Ship Classification article. VT-16 22:00, 21 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * I beg to differ. VT-16 is adding extra classifications to the standard ship-designation system on Ship Classification; these designations may be canonical in themselves, but they cannot be added to that system, which is complete in itself as defined in canon sources. I am merely doing my best to retain the accuracy of the information on the page by removing them. In spite of my repeatedly attempting to explain the difference between a single canonical designation and a specific canonical system of designations on Talk:Ship_Classification and User_talk:McEwok, he repeats his rewriting of the article. I know I'm not the best person to be trying to maintain sanity here, but I am doing my best to represent the canonical material accurately. He is the one vandalizing the page. That said, I am well aware that my attitude on this topic is impassioned and perhaps rather stern. I would appreciate the guidance and advice of more level-headed people in improving the page. --McEwok 22:19, 21 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * It is not a complete system, as it does not contain the canonical Imperial terms added in recent publications, as well as from older sources (though erronous they may be on other matters). Whether or not the 'Star' part of the article is kept, I do not care, as this is a different matter and according to the wording, a different "problem". Removal of canonical Imperial terms from the 'Imperial classification' section constitutes vandalism. Its as simple as that. McEwok's personal dislike of certain sources not-withstanding. Let me once again iterate, these are additions made to the system, not changes. And even if they did constitute changes, they would be from canonical sources. Which I know McEwok appreciates more than anything else on this site. VT-16 06:24, 22 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure this dispute constitutes vandalism. The dispute should be resolved on the page's discussion page. If the reverts keep happening, I'll lock the page until such a consensus is reached. Keep in mind that all canonical information can be included in an article, and newer sources generally override the old if there is a conflict. - QuentinGeorge 06:47, 22 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * If you look at the history-section, you'll see that I didn't change the list, I added to it from multiple sources, both new and old. It's not my fault another contributor hasn't read these or liked them. That is supposed to be irrelevant, isn't it? I also noted his removal of subjective points I made in the article to supplement or counter his. Classy. VT-16 09:40, 22 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Regardless of who's at fault, I strongly suggest this be moved to a relevant talk page so as not to continue cluttering this page, which should be kept as sparse as possible so admins can find vandalism quickly. jSarek 10:43, 22 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Okay. Moving this back to Talk:Ship_classification. I'll rebut the claims made above by VT-16 over there, under Continued from "Vandalism in Progress" --McEwok 14:00, 22 Nov 2005 (UTC)
