please clean up your mess

https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Igor_the_facetious_xmas_bunny_-_NOT_HERE Way out of control. Legacypac (talk) 10:36, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Someone is 'out of control'. It's not me.Igor the facetious xmas bunny (talk) 11:17, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

−==Big Mess== As noted above, User:Igor the facetious xmas bunny is continues to be discussed at ANI. The user's behavior is also up for discussion at two seperate threads at WP:AN/3RR (link 1, link 2) and an SPI has been opened here.

With the mess the user has caused (as evidenced by the multiple threads linked above) it might be helpful to know who we are dealing with here. Igor says he/she "confirmed my prior history with" you. Since the user's behavior is less than stellar (ie: edit-warring, socks, gaming the system, ANI thread, 3RR violations, etc.), knowing who they are would be helpful. - NeutralhomerTalk13:36, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

The ANI thread has been closed with the following summary by User:Nick: "GorillaWarfare appears to have taken responsibility for this debacle and will presumably clear up the mess left by Igor the facetious xmas bunny when they return online later. I would have indefinitely blocked the account for disruption, in agreement with several of my fellow administrators, but if GW wants to take responsibility for this disruption, on their head be it. Please, can everybody else return to more productive, fruitful editing."
On the SPI, there is a possible, though currently unconfirmed, connection between Igor and globally-blocked User:Operahome. There is behavioral evidence that leans toward Igor being Operahome. Edits by various IPs connected to Igor after Operahome blocks are very curious. Plus, Operahome and Igor both editing the article/draft for Igor Janev (now SALTed after an Operahome SPI) shows a possible connection as well. User:Toddy1 also claims there is "very good evidence that Igor is Operahome".
I believe a response to all of this is needed from you, especially after the ANI thread being closed and the responsibility for Igor's behavior being placed on your head. - NeutralhomerTalk15:09, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
If you are not going to deal with this user can you at least make it clear that at this point enough new edits have been made that you would not consider a reversal to be wheel warring? Your choice to unblock without discussion or consensus has left us hand tied due to wheel warring policies. Chillum 17:53, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Apologies for the delay–have been AFK all morning, and am only briefly around right now, though I'll be back later. I would not consider a reversal of the block to be wheel-warring at this point. GorillaWarfare (talk) 21:33, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Noting that I haven't had a minute to read through the contribution history since last night, so I can't say whether I agree that my unblock was unwise, but I don't want to hold anything up or have accusations of wheel-warring flying around just because I'm not available at the moment. GorillaWarfare (talk) 21:35, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
People have occasionally told me that I'm foolish and assume good faith when I shouldn't. To do something unwise, but kind, is not a fault. You tried to help this user and hoped they would do better. We should give your initiative every chance to succeed. I've been asking people to back away from the conflict in hopes that the user will settle down. I recommend people wait a bit longer before deciding what to do. Igor should try to avoid doing anything controversial and see if they can get along. In particular, the soapboxing at User talk: Jimbo Wales should stop. Jehochman 22:09, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
At this diff he claims to have explained to GW his previous identities. He has already stated he has edited under a different account at User talk:Chillum at this diff - "Yes, I have edited previously under another account; I hope that you understand that that is not a cardinal sin". Can GW confirm this? If not it would demonstrate bad faith. Also, any info given might help at Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Igor the facetious xmas bunny. --Mrjulesd (talk) 22:43, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
Confirmed. GorillaWarfare (talk) 23:23, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
GW: I think what needs to be explained is under what basis he was granted an alternate legitimate account. I've looked at WP:SOCK and the closest I could come up with, based on his humorous user name, is a humor account. Is this the case? If it could be explained I would be very grateful. --Mrjulesd (talk) 18:47, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
It sounds like he stopped using the old account and started a new one. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that as long as it is not done to avoid scrutiny. Suggest we leave well enough alone. Jehochman 18:57, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
@Mrjulesd: If you're looking for the specific part of WP:SOCK, it's "Clean start under a new name" under WP:SOCK#LEGIT. GorillaWarfare (talk) 20:01, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Igor

Hi GW. Could you have a look at recent edits by Igor the facetious xmas bunny to see if they are helpful or not? There's been a bit more edit warring, possibly baited by other editors. I've asked Legacypac to back away, but I'm concerned. Thanks. Jehochman 19:25, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

Jehochman advised me to 'walk away' , so I found an entirely unrelated article to work on, in a cleapup category - Shaiwatna Kupratakul (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). A BLP with unreferenced material, tagged as such since Jan 2010. I moved unreferenced claims onto the talk page for possible discussion and potentially adding it with refs .
Legacypac (RV 1) put it back, calling my edits vandalism .
My first revert asking for refs. Not 'vandalism' at all. Please see WP:BURDEN. Don't add it back without refs, thansk
Legacypac (RV 2) removed it again.
My second revert , Please do not add unreferenced info to this BLP. Please discuss it on the talk page. WP:V WP:BURDEN
Then another user - Titusfox - reverted. After discussion, he undid his own revert. .
Legacypac (RV 3)
Legacypac is the one edit-warring. As detailed above, 3 times, he has reverted - calling my edits 'vandalism', and introducing unreferenced info to this BLP, without discussing it on the talk page.
I have not attemted to revert it more than the 2 times specified above.
Please deal with the problem of Legacypac a) harassing me, b) edit-warring, c) accusing me of vandalism, d) adding unreferenced material to a BLP.
I'm happy to discuss possible sourcing of those apparently unref'd BLP claims on the talk page.
BTW, although I disagree that the name "Igor the facetious xmas bunny" was in any way disruptive, I have nevertheless changed it. Best, Igor the bunny (talk) 20:02, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
It was very nice for you to accommodate others for no reason other than to make them feel better. We have to get everybody's emotions under control so they can think rationally. We need to convince Legacypac to stop bothering you. I started with a friendly request to them. Let's see how they react. Jehochman 21:48, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

WP:Co-op

Hey Molly. I think I only briefly talked to you about the Co-op at Wikimania this past summer; we're looking to get our pilot started late in January 2015, and we're looking for folks who might be interested in mentoring one or two people during the month o' piloting. I figure it's a long shot to ask knowing you have commitments to ArbCom and elsewhere, but I wanted to pitch it your way in case you were interested and had the time. I also just generally feel like you would be a good fit for mentoring. If you're interested, you can sign up here and check out / ask questions about how the Co-op will work. Thanks a bunch, I, JethroBT 03:57, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi! Yeah, between the Committee and going back to classes, I don't think I'd be able to dedicate the time or energy to mentoring. Thanks for thinking of me, though, and I wish you the best of luck. GorillaWarfare (talk) 04:22, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
