User:HResearcher/Vivaldi

User:Vivaldi is a Wikipedia editor who has been editing since July 12, 2005. He claims to be a Kansas Honor Scholar and has a degree in Mechanical Engineering.

His very first edit was to the Xenu article in which he added reference to convenience links on personal websites. 14 minutes later, he undid his edit, with a comment "rm links. They are in source below" in his edit summary.  His next edit, was also somewhat Scientology-related: He edited the article on Lisa Marie Presley who is a Scientologist.

Vivaldi created the Oxford Capacity Analysis article which is a personality test done by the Church of Scientology. The first version contained original research and uncited claims. In subsequent edit to the Oxford Capacity Analysis article, he introduced reference numerous sources including unreliable sources through convenience links on a personal website.  He used to those references to assert many claims.

On July 23, 2005, Vivaldi edited the Church of Scientology article introducing information about it's "Gold Base". He did not provide any reliable source at all and among the information are statements such as "OGH buildings - Old Gilman House. Probably( emphasis added by HResearcher ) used for auditing or solo auditing." In his next edit, he also did not supply a reference.  Then he edited the article Freewinds, also without any indication of his source of information he included original research and POV.

In his first edit to his userpage on July 23, 2005, he presented information about himself and his intent. He also indicated that he is known as "Simkatu" on usenet. At the end of this edit, he wrote: "How would like to go to a Clam Bake?" and linked to an anti-scientology personal website.

The next day (July 24, 2005) he pointed out that he edited from 24.31.230.124. with which he included a link to an anti-scientology personal website to the Oxford Capacity Analysis article.

On July 25, he indicated some of the basis of his bias against certain religions to Talk:Scientology.

On July 28, in Talk:Scientology he stated "I too am a critic"(obviously referring to Scientology). In the talk page of an article, Sollog, he deleted information which was apparently original research and replaced it with "softer" original research.

In August of 2005, Vivaldi did not edit Wikipedia at all.

When the Barbara Schwarz article was nominated for deletion a second time, Vivaldi explained why he thinks Barbara Schwarz is a public figure and stated "Each of these articles could be used to taunt their subjects, but that is of no concern to the encyclopedia how its articles are used." The next day (14 September) Vivaldi modified comments by others and partially removed comments from a newly registered user, and entered an uncivil response: "Talking to yourself from sockpuppet accounts demonstrates schizophrenic tendencies." In that edit, Vialdi also made a personal attack on Fred Bauder and makes ill-considered accusations of impropriety against the newly registered user and he suggest using original research to claim that Barbara Schwarz is the record holder for the most FOIA requests.

Throughout the months of October and November in 2005, Vivaldi's edits were mostly exposing/discussing what he believed to be IP's used by Barbara Schwarz based on information he gathered from AHBL.ORG.
