    Red crossThis is a failed proposal.
    Consensus for its implementation was not established within a reasonable period of time. If you want to revive discussion, please use the talk page or initiate a thread at the village pump.
    This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference.
    Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.
    ShortcutThis page is intended to get attention quickly when dealing with personal attacks. It is not intended to serve as a form of mediation or a type of RFC. Only Personal attacks are dealt with on this page, on their own merits in accordance with Misplaced Pages's No Personal Attacks policy

    For editors who want a personal attack situation reviewed:

    1. Consider that in most cases, ignoring the attack is better than requesting sanction against the attacker. Do not report people if you are likewise guilty of hostility towards them.
    2. Make sure the user has actually commited a personal attack. (Please note that "personal attacks" are defined only under the WP:NPA policy. If a statement is not considered a personal attack under the intended spirit of this policy, it does not belong here.)
    3. The editor must have been warned earlier. The {{npa2}}, and {{npa3}} templates may be appropriate for new users; for long-term editors, it's preferable to write something rather than using a standard template. Reports of unwarned editors may be removed.
    4. If the behavior hasn't stopped, add the following header to the New Reports section of this page in the following format:
      ==={{User|NAME OF USER}}=== replacing NAME OF USER with the user name or IP address concerned, with a brief reason for listing below. Be sure to include diffs.
    5. If an editor removes the IP or username and doesn't handle the matter to your satisfaction, take it to the editor's talk page or the administrators' noticeboard, but do not re-list the user here.
    6. NB - Due to misunderstanding of these instructions and/or mis-use of this process, comments not in strict adhereance to these instructions WILL be removed. This page deals only with personal attacks under the policy WP:NPA. Reports deemed to be inappropriate for this page are liable to be moved to an appropriate venue where one exists.


    For those reported on this page:

    1. A reviewer or an administrator will review each report on this page. In dealing with the report, the contribution history of the reported user shall be checked along with the diffs provided in the report. Where no personal attack is evident, then no action will be taken - however, should an administrator see that another seperate issue is evident, appropriate action or advice for that issue may be taken/given at his or her discretion and in line with wiki policy.
    2. Reports on this page stand on their own merits in accordance with Misplaced Pages's no personal attacks policy. As such, disputes and discussions over reports are not suitable for this page except for such comments left by admins or reviewers describing their actions and/or findings. If you notice your account reported at this page, please trust that the administrators and reviewers dealing with reports will deal with it in an even-handed and fair manner on the basis of policy alone. If you feel strongly that another "side to the story", issue, or another piece of information is missing from a report please refrain from posting here, and instead leave your comment on your talk page under the title NPA Report or another other clear and related title. The reviewing party will see this message and take it into account where applicable.

    For users handling assistance requests:

    1. For each of the users linked here, open their contributions and check for personal attacks. Also check if the users have been sufficiently warned for the current personal attack and whether they've continued to commit personal attacks after being warned.
    2. Note that there is an important difference between a user who makes many good contributions and a few personal attacks, and a user whose last edits are (nearly) all personal attacks or other conflict.
    3. Do nothing, warn them again, or, if you are an adminstrator, block the user in question as you think is required. Explain things carefully to the user who listed the attacker if you feel there's been a misunderstanding.
    4. Move the report to the Open Reports section and give an update to the status of the report.
    5. Delete old reports that have been dealt with.

    Please consider adding this page to your watchlist to make life easier for non-administrator RC-patrollers.

    The user is continously accusing me as "Pan-Turkist nonsense, POV nonsense or nonsense of E104421". The examples are ,,. The user was warned many times for the incivility issues and blocked . Unfortunately, nothing has changed yet. E104421 14:00, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

    What you are doing is indeed Pan-Turkist nonsense. Just 3 days ago, you were blocked for 48 hours because of nationalistic-motivated POV and pseudo-history in the article White Huns. As admin User:Future Perfect at Sunrise told you: "... E, please stop creating that White Huns article. Your own statements on its talkpage show it is a POV fork and as such illegitimate. ..." You were asked to discuss your edits. Yet, you purposely ignored a discussion on the issue here and stubbornly continued your POV pushes here - 3 days later!. In those 3 days, you did not even dare to take a look at the discussion! Ignoring discussions, ignoring authoritive scholarly sources, and continuing psedu-scientific POV-push IS the same as nationalistic motivated propaganda. Tājik 14:05, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
    I forgot to mention his stalking! Whenever i try to discuss anything, he accuses me as he did above. I tried many times but it's very very difficult for me to compromise with someone who attacks me personally all the time like this. Civility is a must. That's why i'm consulting to Misplaced Pages:Personal attack intervention noticeboard. Regards. E104421 14:17, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
    Any proofs for your stalking accusations?! I mean ... after all, you had been proven to be a stalker 2 weeks ago. Do not hide your plans behind false accusations. You ignored the discussion because you have no arguments against authoritative scholarly sources. That's why you usually ignore discussions and directly mess up entire articles with your pseudo-scientific POV. Tājik 14:28, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

    84.9.194.195 (talk · contribs)

    User:84.9.194.195 made a personal attack on User Talk:MRSC, see dif. I placed an npa2 on his talk page and the retort was to criticise MRSC again and state I have an empty mind, see diff. Edit pattern matches the banned User:Irate who has been using sockpuppets reported here. Regan123 13:56, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

    Ttogreh (talk · contribs)

    I've found that the user has broken with WP:NPA several times recently, see the following diffs:

    That's your retort? The UNUDHR? Yes, I fully acknowledge Tailkinker's right to act like an obstreperous jerk, and I take advantage of my right to call him as such.--ttogreh 06:13, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
    Don't you get it? Deletion or suggestion of deletion before due diligence is to act like a philistine.--ttogreh 21:29, 12 December 2006 (UTC) Edit Summary: Deletionists are pedantic, obstreperous, hateful little people that despise life
    Edit Summary: You are still a jerk. This is supposed to be about compiling and sharing data; not about deciding which piece of data is bad and which is good; deletion of relevant knowledge is a sin.
    I broke one of my own rules; "never use an analogy, ever.".....He acted like an obstreperous jerk. Then, another editor, noticing what has happened, called the first editor just that; an obstreperous jerk. Edit Summary: I am better than you

    There is plenty more if you look at the user's past contributions. I think that administrative action on this one is long overdue.--Jersey Devil 07:28, 16 December 2006 (UTC)


    Eupator (talk · contribs)

    On 12/4 Eupator called dacy69 comments "moronic" (http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Paytakaran). Then he said that dacy69 don't know Russian language while the latter was refering to the text in that language. Every time when dacy69 suggested mediation and dispute resolution, Eupator accused him of incivil behavior.--Dacy69 05:29, 16 December 2006 (UTC)


    Mak82hyd (talk · contribs)

    User:Mak82hyd was warned twice in response to personal attacks within the last few days. Attacks preceding the first warning include calling User:Jimfbleak a "psycho" and telling me "either u r a stupid or u r just islamophobic", referring to some imagined edits that I did not make in this AfD. In response to first warning, Mak82hyd restated his conviction about me, but I decided to just let him cool off. He has now gone on to call User:Ttiotsw "islamophobic" in spite of the warnings. I did not check every single edit that Ttiotsw has made lately, but I am pretty confident that this personal attack was entirely unwarranted (as I understand it personal attacks are always considered unwarranted on WP, regardless of circumstance). This attack against Ttiotsw was a couple of days ago but I just noticed it now; it was still very recent and it was just two days after the warnings. I expect the pattern to continue. As can be seen from his responses to me, Mak82hyd thinks I am an admin for some reason (I did not tell him or anyone that so I assume it was simply my use of templates), and has continued his attacks in spite of my warnings, so I do not believe that a real admin's stern warning alone will make any further difference. — coelacan talk20:13, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

    Comment was left on users talk page to remind him that article talk pages are for discussions about improving the article, not for general discussion of the article, his comment on the article talk page . In response to reminder user made this comment . In response to NPA3 he left this .--Crossmr 19:52, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

    And another personal attack .--Crossmr 19:54, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

    Seems to have stopped, for now. Will try to keep an eye on it. Luna Santin 06:55, 17 December 2006 (UTC)


    BonniePrinceCharlie (talk · contribs)

    On 12/6, called another editor "stupid" and "a mentally-challenged sophist" . On 12/7, an editor left a note on BonniePrinceCharlie's (BPC) talk page advising against personal attacks . BPC responded to this comment by calling the editor a "whining sophist" , and then removed a signature added to this comment by HagermanBot . On 12/10, BPC called another editor a "fucking shithead" in response to an "assume good faith" message. Earlier today, BPC modified a "no personal attacks" warning left by another editor to include the phrase "I love penis" . BPC then edited his/her talk page to remove a vandalism warning I left regarding that incident . --Trunkalunk 23:23, 15 December 2006 (UTC)


    Sloveniaiscool (talk · contribs)

    Consistent non-compliance with WP:Civil, WP:No personal attacks and WP:Vandalism by Sloveniaiscool / Ljublonia / Slovenskidom / Thatindigokid. This editor has been seeding Misplaced Pages talk pages (specifically Talk:List of micronation, Talk:Micronation) with comments about a micronation known as Academe North for a number of months, suggesting that it should be included in WP. He has not made any other contribution to WP apart from this. He has been asked by myself and Georgewilliamherbert to provide references to support his claims. So far he has not provided any reliable references. In the last few days his comments have become more abusive, and he has begun vandalising my talk page by posting "warnings" in which he accuses me of abusing him, and of being uncivil. He has also posted a trolling comment on Talk: Empire of Atlantium, in the knowledge that I am a member of that organisation. In fact, all I've done is point out that he doesn't seem to know or care about WP's policies concerning verifiability, reliable references, civility, abuse or vandalism - and warning that if he continues to ignore these policies his account may be blocked. It would be useful if a third party (preferably an admin) could clearly explain WP policies to this editor. --Gene_poole 03:31, 15 December 2006 (UTC)


    TweekThePunk (talk · contribs)

    Attacked me on his talkpage here after attacking the person who put Deletesys up for speedy deletion (i.e., me) here and receiving {{npa3}} for it. Veinor (ヴエノル) 23:51, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

    Note -- there is no more new problems since the {{npa3}}. If anything new happens feel free to report it here. —— Eagle 101 03:59, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
    Note The NPA was added on 17:34 at creation of his talkpage. He then edited his talkpage to add an attack approximately 13 minutes later. Veinor (ヴエノル) 14:10, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
    Page deleted. The attack was from 2 days ago -- warning him via user talk might only remind him to come trolling again, if that makes sense. Will try to keep an eye on it, but let me know if I miss anything pertinent. Luna Santin 06:49, 17 December 2006 (UTC)


    Theplanetsaturn (talk · contribs)

    I'm being called "liar", "hypocrite," being referred to sarcastically, and much, much more. The user was blocked on WP:3RR yesterday, is edit-warring with two editors at Jhonen Vasquez, and refuses to accept another editor's compromise solution.

    First warning given at User talk:Theplanetsaturn at 22:56, 13 December 2006 after attack at Talk:Jhonen Vasquez

    in which his comments included "lets take a look at your lies," "Perhaps it is the stink of your hypocrisy," and "you are a poor judge of character should rethink your career, Mr. Journalist."

    Another attack occured

    which inclued "Calling you a hypocrite is accurate. ... Your glass house must be getting chilly from all your casually thrown stones."

    I gave a second warning at User talk:Theplanetsaturn at 23:29, 13 December 2006. Please help. --Tenebrae 23:47, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

    Looks like he's still committed to discussion. You might consider an RfC regarding his behavior, but for now it looks like you'll all do better to try and work together. Consider dispute resolution, perhaps? Luna Santin 02:01, 14 December 2006 (UTC)


    Psychohistorian (talk · contribs)

    Much more extensive evidence of the long term pattern of personal attacks is given at Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_comment/Psychohistorian. Fourdee 18:01, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

    Despite being repeatedly warned about ad hominem, user has added blatant personal attacks back to talk page, commiting personal attacks again. Fourdee 00:51, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

    Fourdee has not notified Psychohistorian of this report, but I have done so and responded as a semi-involved third party with a timeline and some perspective (notice and discussion). — Hu 04:02, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

    These don't seem like blatant personal attacks. Incivility, perhaps, but he's still making an effort to discuss the issue at large, as far as I can see. If you can establish this as part of a greater trend, in an RfC, or link to some more severe comments, I may be more inclined to take some action. Luna Santin 08:26, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
    A quick examination of Psychohistorian's contributions indicates a wider pattern of much more abusive and uncivil comments on talk pages, all in the same vein - insulting the editor, or insulting their education. Again calling editors ignorant and accusing them of "bitching" , calling editor "paranoid" and "unreasonable" , says editor has "inferiority complex" , again insulting editor's education and implying editor has not reached the 11th grade , education & "put it at your level" , etc. Everywhere I look in his talk page edits there is personal abuse, and he has been warned about this previously . He knows the policies on civility and no personal attacks and chooses to disregard them. It seems to me he needs to be corrected by more than a warning. Fourdee 18:10, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
    I don't know why you are witch-hunting Psychohistorian but I must say he's extremely cold (even too much for my taste). He virtually never engages in ad hominem discussions and many if not all of your alleged PAs can't be seen as such. Example: when he says that he dislikes that editors employ more time "bitching at each other" than working in the article, we can't but agree with him. When he says that "this fact seems to be eluding you", he's not calling the other editor (a pretty aggresive one, btw) "ignorant" as you claim, just expressing his frutration at the fact that he's not understood. When he says that "is a skill you should be pretty competent in by the time you reach 11th grade if you're in a good school system" he's not talking at the other editor but using a common generalistic form in English. Finally warns from Thulean/Lukas19 have no validity: that user has disqualified himself by systematically abusing the PA warn system on any minimal and even many imaginary slip. He doesn't discuss: he provokes you and waits for you to say anything that could even vaguely resemble a PA and then he places one or three warnings in your user talk page.
    In brief, you have nothing. --Sugaar 18:38, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
    Although he may be right, he is definitely using a language that is unessecarily confrontative. He should cool down, IMO. --Regebro 19:02, 12 December 2006 (UTC)


    BIG WARNING.

    I want to warn against the use of the White People's page by some users like fourdee, Lukas, etc. You can see them all in the white's people's page. That page has been under siege by Nazi-Germanicist-Nordicist POV pushig and propaganda for a very long time. They want to use Wiki to their advantage. In fact, in the History section of the article anyone can see who was the first one to be attacked and by whom. Still we a dealing here with a much more serious issue, the attempts mentioned above and one of the types of POV pushing Wiki cannot afford. Veritas et Severitas 23:33, 15 December 2006 (UTC)


    Mael-Num (talk · contribs)

    A habitual crosser of the line, attacked Moncrief here and me here. Fully unrepentant, arguing that calling me a "dishonest and single-minded user" was "a statement of fact"

    You do realize that your obscurantism on the matter, which any admin worth his salt will surely research on his own, merely verifies that you aren't being wholly honest, with the admins, on the Derek Smart Talk page, and most importantly, with yourself. Completely omitted were the facts that you engaged in revert warring over archived discussions that weren't even concluded yet and then lied about the outcome consensus of those discussions. All of this was done following a previous discussion, which had already reached the same conclusion (the one you distorted).
    I'd recommend you follow the advice you've already been given and, among other things, participate in the discussion istead of attempt to override it. Just because the truth describes you in a negative light, it doesn't make it a personal attack. Mael-Num 01:46, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

    Appears to be an abusive sockpuppet of one of the recently blocked edit warriors on the page. Support an indef block. --InShaneee 05:41, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

    Gene Poole (talk · contribs)

    User gene poole has continually personal attacked me on the micronations talk page, after I persistently warned him to stop and I suggested he follow wikipedia's etiquette and civility policies he deleted the warning and started to accuse me of personnel attacking him on my talk page and started to threaten a report and block of my user account, this user just seams to be looking for a fight. Your advice would be greatly appreciated. Sloveniaiscool 00:17, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

    Please provide diffs to support this report. I'll look over their contribs, when I have some more time, but since you're more familiar with the situation, you're more likely to know exactly what to look for. See WP:DIFF, the help desk, or use a {{helpme}} on your user talk page if you need any assistance with that. Thanks. Luna Santin 08:28, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

    Curse of Fenric (talk · contribs)

    User calls me an "idiot" (I am the person who nominated the unsourced article for deletion as seen here - http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Professional_Championship_Wrestling_%28Australia%29 ) At same diff link, it also appears as if user solicited a vote for the above-linked afd.BooyakaDell 23:56, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

    Allegation denied. User was not named in the statement. Further - as has been pointed out by another user - AfD's are NOT votes. So no soliciting of votes took place. Report made in the heat of the moment and should be withdrawn by the user, or removed by an admin. Curse of Fenric 21:10, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
