Wiktionary:Vandalism in progress

This page is intended to get administrator attention quickly when dealing with current instances of vandalism. List new alerts at the top of the list in the following manner: * {{vandal|username or IP}} Brief reason why, preferably a link to a vandalized page. ~~~~ Don’t include the User: prefix in the template! Please do not add cases older than two to three hours. Denied requests will have an explanation added here, and be kept for one to seven days before being removed. Thank you for helping us keep an organized Wiktionary! Admins: Please remove performed blocks.

• 77.250.27.245 (talk • contribs • whois • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • block • block log • active blocks • global blocks), who has vandalized transdimensional and created oooeeeeeh_bot. ObsequiousNewt (talk) 19:37, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
• Lo Ximiendo (talk • contribs • global account info • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • page moves • block • block log • active blocks) is an otherwise productive editor, but since at least August has been moving dozens of alternative medicine terms out of the Pseduoscience category and into medical categories. Frex:
  • 10:30, 4 August 2013 colorpuncture ‎ (removed Category:en:Pseudoscience; added Category:en:Medicine using HotCat)

Please monitor this user's edits. ~ Röbin Liönheart (talk) 17:35, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

This is a very interesting case, as LX is also an admin, therefore the recent block that Semper gave her (3 days) is not a real block unless she chooses to respect it. LX has been very unstable, both on Wiktionary and on Facebook, for a few months. You can look at her talkpage and see that this is a recurring problem (or look at the history of e.g. ozone therapy). —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 19:37, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

I honestly believe that she has schizophrenia. I don’t know if she’s seeking any professional help (probably not), but I think that she needs it. We should encourage her to overcome her challenges, for both her and our sakes. --Æ&Œ (talk) 19:43, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Still more concerning are her anti-vax edits to vaccination [1] and autism [2]. ~ Röbin Liönheart (talk) 20:42, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Ozone dissolves into one's bloodstream. And regardless, this article got my attention. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 18:20, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

You really need to be more discriminating about your sources. I could find articles on the Internet stating that Elvis is alive, that aliens are abducting us all, etc. Most of them are obvious rubbish. Equinox ◑ 21:29, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

LX made POV edits to (deprecated template usage) vaccination once again.[3] -Cloudcuckoolander (talk) 00:16, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Also included a POV context label when adding an otherwise (I'm assuming) sound Swedish definition.[4] -Cloudcuckoolander (talk) 00:48, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

This is getting a bit out of hand... —CodeCat 00:52, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Found a third instance in this Hindi entry. I'm going through Category:Pseudoscience to see if there are any others. -Cloudcuckoolander (talk) 00:59, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Although I don't dislike LoXi I think it might be wise to remove her admin flag at this point. Equinox ◑ 01:06, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

  Gone. — Ungoliant ^(falai) 00:28, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

  Longer block please. IP has gone right back to it after expiration. TeleComNasSprVen (talk) 05:06, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

  Blocked for a month this time. We'll see what happens after that. It seems like I've seen their pattern of vandalism before with other IP addresses, so I don't want to risk the collateral damage from a longer block if they're going to just switch IPs and keep on going, anyway.

  • Interesting. Is this the same as 86.147 vandal above? Keφr 13:05, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
