Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-01-23 Jack Abramoff

Request Information

 * Request made by: haz (user talk) 10:37, 23 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Where is the issue taking place?
 * In the article Jack Abramoff and its talk page.


 * Who's involved?
 * Myself, Kwh and the IP 62.0.181.94.


 * What's going on?
 * The anonymous contributor is vandalising the page, making contributions to it against WP:NPOV and adding attack entries to the article's talk page (and talk pages of involved users)


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * The case needs a mediator to get the anonymous user to back down (the basis of the dispute is anti-Semitism; the user appears to be Jewish and takes a personal view to the man behind the article). I would prefer this not to lead to the user being banned, xe just needs to change xyr ways.


 * If you'd prefer we work discreetly, how can we reach you?
 * Through the Wikipedia e-mail link on my user page.

Comments by others
I wanted to add this summary which I contributed at Wikiquette alerts:
 * Anonymous IP editor User:62.0.181.94 at Talk:Jack Abramoff insists upon making uncivil and insulting suggestions of antisemitism. Editor has indicated by their edits that they are the same person/entity as User:85.250.166.7, User:62.0.170.46, and User:85.250.217.240.
 * Although user insists that they are a 'group of people' (and may well be) the IP has only changed in each case once the user(s) earned a ban, indicating ban evasion.
 * Has engaged in WP:POINT in the past.
 * Has engaged in content removal, article vandalism , and user page vandalism.
 * Has launched personal attacks and threats of continued vandalism (and hacking) on user's and article talk pages after being warned against content removal.
 * Continually reverts removal of personal attacks and threats from article talk page.
 * Consistently fails to use edit summaries or sign talk pages.
 * Has indicated that their intention is "to stir up trouble".
 * Has engaged in taunting via baseless accusations on Talk pages.
 * Has continually accused me of making edits which were made by other users, together with personal attacks.
 * Has removed clarifications from talk pages to continue to falsely accuse me personally of making edits which were made by other users.
 * Has engaged in legal threats by talking about writing a letter to "Jimmy and the WIK board"
 * Has engaged in personal attacks by implying that another editor is a "Jewish SELF HATER"
 * Has shown disdain for Wikipedia civility policy after it was explained.
 * Is refactoring other editors Talk: comments in a manner which is dismissive and abrasive (The other editor has a "comment", this editor has the "answer".)
 * This has previously been reported to WP:AIV and was rejected as "not vandalism per se". Kwh 16:04, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Also noted: Mediation with regards to this particular editor was requested in a past case, which was withdrawn when User:85.250.166.7 was blocked. -Kwh 17:17, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm stepping away from this one for a while until someone else cares to do something about it. I think this editor has made an adequate case against themselves. -Kwh 18:29, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
