NeilN tries to dox a user
Remember that IP from >>330348 ? NeilN is demanding that they register from an account that can be tied to their real-life identity. The only reason that Wikipedia would need that information is to harm the user offline.

Encyclopedia Dramatica forces out Zaiger
They accuse Zaiger of embezzling from the site's hosting fund and "driving away most of the technically competent staff members in 2014."

Crawiki raised a poorly informed question on Talk:Antisemitism and got this response from the established editors:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Antisemitism#Antisemitism_and_anti-zionism
> C'mon, don't be an idiot, use your brain. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:34, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
> You can't be fucking serious, Crawiki (…) — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 03:39, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
With no real opposition to his position because nobody explained why he was wrong, Crawiki removed an apparent logical error that was cited to a BBC article but was not supported by the source that the BBC had cited to make this claim and that may have been overridden by an update to Saudi immigration policy since 2004.
Crawiki edit warred to remove Malik's curse words and was reverted by RolandR, Ponyo, and NeilN, who blocked Crawiki 12 hours for disruptive editing.

We've seen Wikipedians edit other users' comments before without being warned or sanctioned.
>>330457 where NeilN deletes several users' comments and talk pages and issues blocks while involved.
After his block was removed, Crawiki reported "Apparent verbal abuse at Antisemitism" to ANI and got nowhere. Iridescent cited the content dispute as a deciding factor in the policy question, Grandpallama cursed him out again, and both Iridescent and NeilN said that users are not allowed to impose their own personal civility standards on others, which they are going to immediately forget the next time they see something that is offensive to them.

Wiki Review noticed a familiar name, Calton, on a petition calling for the assassination of President Trump…

IT'S A FAKE.

The WMF globally banned Abd for undisclosed "legal" reasons. The last message on his talk page before his ban discusses a conflict with Anglo Pyramidologist who he describes as "the puppet master for a sock farm that is at least 200 accounts, and growing." Abd discusses the conflict on his own page where he accused Pyramidologist of being Oliver D. Smith, also known as Atlantid. According to ED, Smith and Vordrak worked together to attack Kiwi Farms.

In December on Wikiversity Mu301 gave Abd a 1-year block for changing the page on Fringe Science (the study of fringes) to a stub page about Fringe Science (the study of bullshit) while Mu301 was editing the page. Mu301 then indefinitely banned Abd "for persistent, long-term disruption" after Abd appealed his block. Abd appealed this second block and the appeal was denied by Mu301. Mu301 then began deleting Abd's userspace drafts on the grounds that they were "abandoned" because Mu301 had banned him and denied his appeal.
https://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Abd&diff=1815081&oldid=1811629
Abd was banned from the English Wikipedia in 2011 for block evasion and ignoring a topic ban.

They are probably paying for this nonsense.

> We'll need to discuss how to handle this best. It turns out that User:Dr. Blofeld, who is with 96,000 articles created our most prolific article creator, has in a number of cases (so far early in his career, more research is needed) created blatant copyright violations.
Who could have guessed that a Bond villain would be evil?
In the old days the Internet generally had the attitude of not caring about copyright, just adding anything and only taking it down when they got a letter. 96,000 articles ago, Blofeld would not have been the only one.
NorthBySouthBaranof thinks that this is civil behavior:
> Did I trigger you? Can't handle it when someone calls you what you are? Sad! Maybe don't make racist-apologia edits on the encyclopedia and then start ridiculous ANI threads when people call you on your bullshit. I don't apologize to white supremacists and if you have a problem with that, feel free to take it up on ANI. Oh wait <snerk>. Have a nice day. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 20:40, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
Dr. James Harrison, Ph.D hid the comment in a RPA block and reported to ANI. NorthBySouthBaranof told Harrison "gtfo"
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:NorthBySouthBaranof&diff=828703362&oldid=828702078
and PeterTheFourth, a meatpuppet account created to back up NorthBySouthBaranof in Gamergate, reverted Harrison.
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:NorthBySouthBaranof&diff=828701279&oldid=828700085
At an ANI thread, North continues with personal attacks against Harrison

Guy Macon joins in:
> WHOOSH!! That's the sound of the point going right over your head. When someone writes "I suspect we have a competence is required situation here", they are not claiming the we have a policy requiring competence. They are saying that they suspect that you lack competence and that in their opinion competence is required - a view that is held by many Wikipedia editors. –Guy Macon (talk) 09:28, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
Power~enwiki and Edgar181 call for Harrison to be indeffed.
> Jamesharrison2014 appears to be on a crusade against Baranof, likely due to their long-running dispute at Kelli Ward. He's doing a very bad job of it, and is probably risking WP:BOOMERANG sanctions if he keeps this up much longer. power~enwiki (π, ν) 07:54, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
> Based on Jamesharrison2014's persistent IDHT behavior, it is likely that his consistent dispruption will continue until he is either indefinitely blocked or topic banned from areas of American politics. – Ed (Edgar181) 12:43, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
And on his talk page, Spartaz repeatedly accused Harrison of being a sockpuppet without evidence.
TonyBalloni blocked ScratchMarshall for a week for reporting Acroterion to ANI for abuse of administrator tools. How did this happen?
First, Scratchmarshall added material to the David Hogg page to refute the "crisis actor" conspiracy theory that is going around and is probably true with the preponderance of evidence that he was coached and promoted, but that is beside the point. Scratchmarshall tried to debunk the theory.
> Block, Eliana (21 February 2018). "VERIFY: Here's why David Hogg and other Florida students aren't 'crisis actors'". WUSA (TV). "All over social media people are sharing a screenshot of a yearbook. A tweet from Laguna Beach Antifa with a yearbook photo claiming Hogg actually went to school in California and "always wanted to work for CNN and be an actor." There's also an interview of Hogg on a Los Angeles CBS Station back in August. Conspiracy Theorists say it's proof he's not from Florida. To Verify our researchers tracked down the source of that yearbook photo and found this video posted by a Douglas student. That video shows the book's cover, and you'll see it's actually be from Marjory Douglas High School in Florida. As for that video from California? Our team found Hogg's YouTube "vlog" which shows he was on vacation in Cali at the time."
Robert McClenon refused to answer ScratchMarshall's question of how this violates BLP and instead closed the discussion.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard/Archive_161#Talk:David_Hogg_(activist)#Business_Insider
Acroterion revdeled that comment and blocked ScratchMarshall for 48 hours on a clearly false accusation of a BLP violation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:ScratchMarshall#March_2018
MrX reported ScratchMarshall to ANI for "subtly pushing far-right propaganda and conspiracy theories in the style of a concern troll" because he cited conservative news sources and mentioned having used an image board. Mjollnirpants, Objective3000, Doug Weller, Flyer22, Jorm, Cullen, and TheValeyard called for action against ScratchMarshall.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive977#ScratchMarshall_promoting_conspiracy_theories
NeilN imposed a topic ban on ScratchMarshall against editing any BLP.
> You are indefinitely topic-banned from editing in the BLP topic area, specifically "any edit in any article with biographical content relating to living or recently deceased people, or any edit relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles of any page in any namespace".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:ScratchMarshall#Notice_that_you_are_now_subject_to_an_arbitration_enforcement_topic_ban
When his block wore off, ScratchMarshall appealed his topic ban at AE and reported Acroterion to ANI for improperly crying BLP to block him and revdel comments that were reliably sourced and did not violate BLP in any way.
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Acroterion_has_abused_admin_powers_and_they_should_be_revoked
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:AE#Arbitration_enforcement_action_appeal_by_ScratchMarshall
At ANI Mongo called for "a lengthy block" for "forum shopping." NeilN, Beyond My Ken, and Dlohcierekim agreed, and TonyBallioni blocked ScratchMarshall for a week.
At AE Sandstein called ScratchMarshall's appeal "confusing", D4iNa4 supported the BLP block, as did NeilN, TonyBallioni, Jayron32, Thryduulf, and Boing! said Zebedee.
SarekOfVulcan is the lone voice of logic.
> I don't see a BLP violation in those suppressed diffs. What do you think is the vio? –SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:12, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
Dr. James Harrison, Ph.D reported NorthBySouthBaranof to ANI for a personal attack against another user.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive977#User_talk:NorthBySouthBaranof
Beyond My Ken, Edgar181, Guy Macon, and Power~enwiki insulted Harrison and called for him to be banned, so Spartaz banned Harrison as a "sockpuppet" with no evidence whatsoever. So Harrison swears at them and promises to sock for real, and the admins pat each other on the back for a job well done.
