User talk:Freakofnurture

Per freakofnurture's talk page rules, this info must be left here even by those that want to hide the truth

crucial information being kept from AFD. See removal here [1]

This information of abuse has been reported on the notice boards and have been removed and the accounts banned. It is vital because it reports abuse.

Below are links to edits by multiple users. Because these users are administrators they will likely use the article delete power to hide them. All edits only going back the last 30 days or so.

MONGO blanks sections of talk pages that were not vandalism or personal attacks. WP:VAND considers this action vandalism.: [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

Makes threats of premeditated speedy deletion of Encyclopedia Dramatica article in edit summaries: [7]

Modifies another user's talk page comment that was not a personal attack or vandalism: [8]

Protected an article about twelve hours after two edits that he disagreed with were reverted: [9]

Edited an article after protecting it removing many cited sources (see his words on why [10]) : [11] [12]

Admits he was fine with the older screenshot on Encyclopedia Dramatica: [13]

User Kizzle uploads an image that is an attack image and unfree to MONGO's user talk page. Even fair use are not allowed there. MONGO, Tony Sidaway, and all the other admins leave it and do nothing, despite MONGO's previous quick deletion of images and quickness to protect articles: [14]

User NoSeptember protects the image after someone tried to replace it with an image that wasn't illegal and restores the illegal image: [15]

MONGO further endorses the illegal image: [16]

MONGO removes any attempts of users he bans from communicating with him:[17]

MONGO calls encyclopedia dramatica retarded as well as promising to remove protection and put the external link back (which he later refused to do at [18]): [19] [20]

MONGO refuses to put link back or unprotect the article Encyclopedia Dramatica: [21] [22]

MONGO engaging in personal attacks when giving block reasons: [23] [24] [25]

TonySidaway engaging in personal attacks when giving block reasons: [26] [27] [28] [29]

http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/User:MONGO1 has made edits directly coinciding with MONGO on wikipedia first learning that he had an article on that site. The edits included vandalism and personal attacks:

[30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37]

Encyclopedia Dramatica Checkuser found the account came from 24.252.28.188 = ip24-252-28-188.om.om.cox.net

Proof that it is MONGO: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_comment/MONGO&diff=prev&oldid=60621470

Evidence of MONGO hiding edits from his IP on wikipedia: [38] [39]

Directly after the MONGO1 account was banned a new account arose, using the name "Ed Poor", potentialy impersonation. contributions that did more vandalism and personal attacks. This one used AOL IPs 205.188.116.196, 205.188.117.70, 205.188.117.74.

Ed Poor states it was not him. [40]

Other IPs with associated vandalism afterward:

• 203.109.225.187 resolves to 203-109-225-187.bliink.ihug.co.nz
• 128.2.141.33 resolves to ERR.CYLAB.CMU.EDU

MONGO and Tony Sidaway removed the results -- In general psychology (from wikipedia's articles), if someone was innocent they would want it to stand as evidence whereas a guilty person would want to hide it: (example) all mention of it and banned the account for eternity that said it. MONGO protects the talk page where it was first mentioned. Tony Sidaway also hides the IP results [41] [42]

Another admin wishes to investigate this and MONGO reverts that admin twice: [43] [44]

MONGO hides the cox.net IP and claims it was only AOL. Is it because the cox.net IP is his?: [45]

MONGO deletes the user and user talk page of someone mentioning this and MONGO makes personal attacks in the summary of why he deleted them: [46] [47]

MONGO tells someone to post to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, however he has reverted complaints about him there (see above): [48]

MONGO says, "well the sight is supportive of calling African-Americans (and blcaks in general) by the "N" word...so if there was an article that used that word on the mainpage, that would not be worth linking to either.": [49]

When asked if MONGO would spend the "spend the same amount of time and energy on that article" (being GNAA article), MONGO said: [50]

MONGO deletes an image instead of reverted a changed version of it: [51]

MONGO vandalizes the article again by removing the external link to the site: [52]

MONGO removes links that quote his wiki edits in talk pages:

• [53]

Other actions by MONGO:

• "Ah, I am not aware of them or their activities. I have worked very hard in the past to protect many wikipedians from off-wiki harassment by those that have posted at wikipediareview and hivemind. I can't be at all places at once, and I was alerted by someone about this stuff.--MONGO 08:34, 18 July 2006 (UTC)" Guess what? He banned the person who helped him out. [54]
• "What are you accusing me of? I see that you have had an account with us for a year and have less than 150 edits total and you want me to take your commentary seriously? I was alerted to this situation...I don't have the time to be everywhere, buddy. How about you go write one long well referenced article and stop your trolling.--MONGO 09:15, 18 July 2006 (UTC) " [55]
• After being asked why he targets the Encyclopedia Dramatica article and not GNAA, MONGO blanks the talk page, moving discussions from minutes ago into an archive so the entire talk page is blank. [56]

• Mongo announces plans to destroy the article Encyclopedia Dramatica so it passes AFD.
• Then states that he continues this plan

Tony Sidaway examples of personal attacks:

• [57]
• [58]
• "I have blocked this editor becausae he's stupid" [59]
• "he's an obvious nutter ... Let's just tell him to fuck off." [60]
• "He's a troll. Our only appropriate words to him are "fuck off." [61]
• "I sincerely suggest that "fuck off" is almost too kind for this pernicious and stupid troll." [62]

Tony Sidaway also reverted someone's own messages in their talk page and protected it, claiming "they attempted to use their talk page." [63]

Note troll is used as a personal attack. See WP:NPA. MONGO also uses the word retarded both for a personal attack on a user (first one in list below as well as for a website)

MONGO gives personal attacks in edits: [64] [65] [66] [67] [68] [69] [70] [71] [72]

MONGO gives personal attacks in edit summaries: [73] [74] [75] [76] [77]

Gene Nygaard page moves

Hello, User:Gene Nygaard continues to move pages from accented version to unaccented only because there were no redirects created despite warnings from 3 different editors on his talk page (me, you, and DragonflySixtyseven). Could you please help out? Renata 11:00, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Guitarist infobox, again

This thing shall plague you until your end of days... any chance I could get you to semi-protect it for a few days, to end the constant IP vandalism? Thanks --Aguerriero (talk) 14:31, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

The tag on this image was {{PD-USGov}}. This tag was improper as the image came from a county rather than a federal website. I've marked the image for deletion from commons. --Durin 19:18, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism to my user page

Hi Freakofnurture. Just a quick note to thank you for spotting and reverting the recent vandalism. Cheers! —Ian Spackman 02:35, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Just wondering if there is a reason that you assert this is public domain. To my knowledge it is definitely copyrighted, see [78]. Unless you have some evidence to the contrary I will delete it. cheers, pfctdayelise (translate?) 08:49, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Block of 68.102.193.78

Might I ask why you reinstated this block? To my knowledge, the user behind that IP hasn't done anything malicious in several months. Do you have different information? (ESkog)^(Talk) 21:27, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

{{unblock}}

Wassup I was trying to edit the Ginuwine page, I wanted to add something that was missing form his Filmography ( “The Videos Ginuwine” ) I mean you could add it if you want but I figured wikipedia needs this info.

Hey

I echo the above for everytime you have helped me, forever --Dakota 03:58, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, I'm very sorry for that sir, I went to instinctively rollback that edit and instate the block, but the rollback failed, and somehow when I clicked on the block user button on my toolbox it lead me to a form which had DakotaKahn's name in it not the IP. I immediately undid the block and corrected it to the IP before you managed to block me. I was previously on good terms (I think) with DakotaKahn, if you check want to the respective user talk pages, and I hope that this unfortunate accident doesn't have an lasting damage. I have to again reiterate that I am very sorry sir. I am aware that Dakota had previously listed hereslef as Jewish on her userpage. Although I am sure that there is no claim by your part I am anti-Semitic, I would simply like to clearly clarify that I am not. Anyway, I did revert the edits of User:CS Diplomat to Israel and also incurred the wrath of User:Oiboy77 for his edits to the same article in July - leading to his activities at WP:RFARB against me. As you can see, this event has been truly and completely embarrassing to me. Once again sir I apologise in full for my incorrect clicking of the buttons. Blnguyen | rant-line 03:14, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Lasting damage? This is a wiki (tm). No need for clarification. Cheers. —freak(talk) 03:18, Aug. 11, 2006 (UTC)

Well, there is no lasting damage in the technical aspect, but I do wonder whether people will get a bad impression and reputation of user conduct by looking at the block log, and perhaps not carefully. Anyway, since I added myself to that recall cat, I wonder whether I will be following Crzrussian any time soon (I'm on the edge of my seat) or whether some other disgruntled editors may seek to use this block against me to discredit my activities.... Blnguyen | rant-line 03:48, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I think you're worrying too much. You made a mistake, you fixed it a minute later. As far as desysoppings go, here's some advice:

1. Never unblock yourself, even if you are 100% certain that the block is abusive, misinformed, accidental, and/or satirical.
2. Never protect your version of an article.
3. Never block a user with whom you are edit warring, unless their edits are clearly vandalism.

If you can avoid all of these things, you'll probably do just fine.

Even if you do make any of these (more serious) errors, realize your mistake and promptly undo it, many users (myself included) would forgive an isolated incident, maybe a handful of them if they are unrelated and spread out over a great enough period of time, and form only a tiny percentage of your total administrative actions.

Regarding items 2 and 3, be aware that the definition of "vandalism" is sometimes skewed by one's own perspectives on a certain topic. For example, if you are employed by a certain governmental agency, and a user inserts text which may be critical of said agency, such edits may compromise the neutrality of said article, and in many cases should be rephrased, or removed if no source is provided, and although the edits may personally offend you, they are probably not "vandalism". If in doubt, ask somebody else to take a look at it.

—freak(talk) 14:23, Aug. 11, 2006 (UTC)

What you say?

Hey, I was just curious as to why you deleted the "What you say" userbox? Was there a problem with it, or did it get replaced by another one? Thanks, Karwynn (talk) 15:08, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for moving it or whatever you did, it works fine now. Is there something going on with userbox policy? Would you mind if I take some of your time to ask you to fill me in? You can just take a link if that would be easier. Thanks! Karwynn (talk) 15:38, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Well it seemed to be a trivial userbox of negligible encyclopedic value, more significantly only used by you. See also WP:GERMAN. —freak(talk) 15:40, Aug. 9, 2006 (UTC)

Wow, the only one? The guy I got it from must have taken it down. Thanks for the info! Karwynn (talk) 15:41, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Your RfA vote on Renata3 was moved

Hi Freak. you edit to Renata3's RfA was moved from support to oppose by Nichalp. I suspect your 'oppose' was in jest, and you actually meant to support. You may want to check this and move it back if your intent was to support. --Durin 12:41, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I have done so. Thanks for the heads up. —freak(talk) 13:42, Aug. 11, 2006 (UTC)

my userpage

It is perfectly legit for me to db-owner the thygard userpage as it falls under the db-owner criteria and the sock notice which I assume may be your main reason for reverting already exists on the talk page which I cannot and would not attempt to have deleted per the db policy.
