• WP:WQA

Wikiquette alerts are an option for a quick, streamlined way to get an outside view.

Procedure

At the bottom of the list, just post:

• A single link to the problem or issue as you see it (for example, a single posting or section of a talk page).
• Label the comment neutrally but do not sign and do not use names (type ~~~~~, which gives only a timestamp).
• Please avoid embarking on a discussion of the points raised on this page. Carry on discussing it wherever you originally were — editors responding to posts here will come to you!

If you would like to get an outside view on your own behaviour, please post it here too.

Outsiders who visit the link are encouraged to make a constructive comment about any Wikiquette breaches they see. Postings should be removed after seven days.

• User:Athomas9 is publishing a set of pages related to his company that has been in existence for one day. He is also adding links to the individual date pages for his birthday and foundation of the company. 14:02, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Misplaced Pages is Increasing Knowledge article at SilverSeek.com -- apparently this is someone's site about speculation in silver and gold: This has dozens of links to Misplaced Pages articles, and is encouraging people to come edit freely. I think this explains some strange edits to gold and silver a few days ago. It comes up on Google News as a news story about Misplaced Pages.... 18:56, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

• Ase500 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), whom I believe is violating WP:DICK on User talk:Tuxide and User talk:J.reed in response to a simple request made on her own talk page. With the intention to stay neutral, I believe WP:DICK is appropriate to cite in this case since she is explicitly justifying her own actions with WP:IAR, which WP:DICK is a corollary of. 20:27, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

User has been blocked for one day, with longer blocks to follow if behavior continues. JesseW, the juggling janitor 07:33, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

24-August-2006

• Thomas Jay Oord is being edited by someone who appears to have a grudge against the philosopher, possibly his church, and doesn't know how to cite or link within wikipedia. Request outside opinion on NPOVness of the IP-address edits. 18:41, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
• User:Armon has been criticised by editors on a lot of the pages he's edited recently for his aggressive approach. He reverts without discussion, and removes any information since the last version he approves of, including undisputed information. See Fisking, Ahmed Zaoui, List of controversies surrounding Juan Cole, and Algerian Civil War. He's caused one editor with over 1000 edits to leave or wikibreak. 22:22, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

25-August-2006

• User:Cathytreks/User:140.186.149.55 appear to have contributed little but name calling and related disruptive behavior for the last several months both here and in Commons. I could cherry pick the "best" examples, but pretty much any contribution will illustrate the case. That in itself is quite telling. 07:50, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
• User:Alananatomy is a new user and seems to be on a vandalism spree. So far his only 3 contributions are foul marrings of Pearl Jam and Calvin & Hobbes articles. Admins may want to keep an eye on future contiributions. 17:02, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

26-August-2006

• User:205.188.116.204 has posted the following for edits on Sioned and Dragon Ball Z Complete Song Collection 2: Tobikkiri no Saikyô tai Saikyô : (Talk) (I SWEAR, I WILL SUE THE WIKIMEDIA FOUNDATION FOR $100,000,000 IF YOU DON'T QUIT, YOU'LL HAVE TO BLOW BUBBA ($5 EACH) 20 MILLION TIMES TO GET UNSCREWED, HEILHITLERFUCKSHITCUNTBITCHNIGGERFAGGOT!!!!!!!!!) 10:43, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

• http://en.wikipedia.org/Tony_Chuinard appears to be an entirely bogus page.67.189.120.108 09:40, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Articles speedied. Authors warned. 18:52, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
• Cluckbang argues that his idea for a lead section of the Eritrea page would be better than the original version. The disadvantage that is argued about his edit is that it focuses on Ethiopia instead of Eritrea. The two section are presented at the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Eritrea#Lead_section_dispute. 18:23, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

28-August-2006

• Pottsf has entered a number of augmentations of Gold Standard, most recently the lead paragraph, which Stirling Newberry has been reverting without comment or notice, to the detriment of an article that is already badly compromised by extraneous material apparently meant to discredit the concept that the subject represents. The attention of impartial third parties knowledgeable about Wiki standards to the edits of the named parties and to the overall article is requested. The "null edit" of 28 August would be a good starting point.--

29-August-2006

• Ase500 continues to post irrelevant items on User Talk:J.reed and User Talk:Tuxide. User was previously blocked for one day per a alert on this page dated Aug. 22nd. 18:44, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

30-August-2006

• Talk:Set_(mythology) contains WP:POINT,WP:NPOV discussion contribution, later introducing some relation to egypt, but originally clearly using it as generic BBS. Contribution overly long; usage of unpleasant filling vocabular (unrelated to egypt). Must be removed. Reason: puts the article in wrong light; and does not appear to improve the article. Please give a statement, without duplication of the terms (variations of sexual intercourse). In addition, i would like to label overly duplication of annoying terms within discussion/incident discussion as a violation of etiquette as well. User:Yy-bo 20:01, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

31 August-2006

• Lancashire contains constant inclusion of places outside of Lancashire. The article is extremly POV toward the traditional councties pressure group. County Watch which seems to be using WikiPedia to push it's POV. The editors with Counties in their names are some of the most persistant abusers.User:PixieFroFroooo 10:33, 31 August 2006 (UTC).

1-September-2006

• User:JoeMystical has been harping incessantly on WP:RS in Talk:Neo-Tech (philosophy), continually rehashing the same old talking points. 05:19, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

• User:Amoruso is undoing edits to a false and pointless, personally and politically motivated section to the Al-Aqsa Mosque article entitled "Third holiest site : Rival claims" . Please see the bottom of the discussion page of the article for more details. The user clearly has no idea on the subject and is modifying the text cited from external links containing factual errors in the article. Also, take a look at the history of the article (esp when the section was created), it clearly shows the dubious nature and origin of the edits. 202.56.231.116 13:06, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

2-September-2006

• While on RC patrol, I noticed User:207.191.205.225 making POV edits to InuYasha (character). The information deleted was, I assume, correct, as many others have reverted it and warned the user on his talk page. 17:43, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

4-September-2006

• I've been caught up in a dispute at talk:transphobia. I fee that I've remained civil, assumed good faith for as long as possible, and taken in as many viewpoints from earlier discussions on the talk page as possible, weighing them up against the facts known on the subject. I also feel that I've correctly interpreted wiki policy in that I have acted in accordance with it's sentiment/intent. Unfortunately though, as I say, I have ended up caught up in a dispute on the basis of what I find to be vandalism, and on the basis of what is inarguably a sustained personal attack on me (as reported on WP:PAIN). I have engaged in the discussion with the perpotrator on the talk page, but in spite of all I have done, the dispute rages on. Here is the point I feel where I must seek an outside opinion of my behaviour and the overall situation before continuing. Kindest regards, 14:40, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

• Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Game junkie is being flooded with meatpuppets. I've tried to explain that the store isn't notable, but a bunch of their friends keep logging on and spamming the discussion. Wooty 18:47, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

5-September-2006

• I just ran across some edits by User:71.37.12.75 and am completely overwhelmed. I'm tempted to just consider all these edits as spam since I don't have the time to go through them one by one checking if any of them that introduce links are actually valid. 04:53, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

6-September-2006

• Could someone take a look at Feldenkrais_method and its talk page? Article is pretty bad by Wiki standards. I suggested some changes, then made them a week after the suggestion when there was no response. Now I'm the target of personal attacks, while everything has been restored without discussion. -- 15:09, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

• Could someone look at Portfolio_Management_for_New_Products? It's becoming one big ad for an author's books and consultancies. I don't even know where to begin to fix it. -- 15:48, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

• Could someone look at 64.32.239.212? It may be a spambot and I've no idea how to deal with such, nor how to block. -- 21:07, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Reported on WP:AIV. 18:55, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

7-September-2006

• User:Tatsuma has now reverted the Ars Technica article ten times against consensus () to include "criticism" (essentially user gripes) that clearly violate WP:NOR and WP:NPOV (see Talk:Ars Technica for a mediation attempt he refused to participate in). He has been asked to stop four times over the past month on his Talk page, but refuses to discuss anything with anyone. Please assist? -- Debuskjt 00:10, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

• User:Dokusenyoku has been found to have uploaded Image:Ugly Koharu-chan.PNG, which I assume he himself created for the sole purpose of debasing Kusumi Koharu, a Japanese J-Pop artist in whose page the aforementioned user made several edits. Additionally, two other edits were made in the Morning Musume J-Pop Group page. While not obviously offensive it is my belief this user uploaded an outdated picture of the group in other to cause strife.00:20, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

• User:Scottandrewhutchins is continuously violating WP:Dick. There is no attempt at conflict resolution, even most recently. He hijacks new topics started on the Charun discussion page with an obsession over a "Charun bashes souls" debate, telling one individual in particular that he is "incompetent" multiple times for supposely not supplying references that challenge his viewpoints. However, he has supplied references against his views. This has been lasting weeks and weeks. Scott has even brought about an edit freeze on the article so that his anti-WP:NPOV version remains stuck there. It honestly seems like an egotrip going on but no one has done anything substantial to solve the problem.03:50, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

11-September-2006

• I, KrishnaVindaloo confused two sources (Ford and Christianson) and posted the former as a source for a statement made by the latter (that chiropractic is used in sexual conversion therapy). After questioning, I made appropriate adjustments. Ignoring my adjustment,Steth made personal attacks, including calling me a pathalogical liar and stated that I was not to make any more edits concerning chiropractic. Users Steth, Dematt have accused me KrishnaVindaloo of lying, and refused to assume good faith. I have subsequently apologised for confusing the two sources, and suggested that apologies from others may improve the situation further. Users Gleng and •Jim62sch• are trying to obtain votes in order to prevent me from editing the article. KrishnaVindaloo 03:19, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
