Vandalism stir on various Wikipedias leads to protection
- By Streamwater, 25 September, 2006
Over the last few weeks the Dutch Wikipedia, Simple English Wikipedia, and English Wikipedia have had blanking vandalism to various articles all from the same sockpuppet.
The vandalism started on September 12, 2006 when the account Anita934 was created.
Anita vandalized the article Melno Park Terrace adding "I live here, Duh" This was quickly reverted by Sugarpine.
Several seconds after Sugarpine had reverted Anita, she reverted to the previous revision which had the prhase "I live here, Duh"
Anita vandalized the article twice more, violating the 3RR, and Vandalism policies.
She recieved two warnings; and was blocked by Rx StrangeLove.
She created another account - Anita9341. Streamwater added it to Adminnistrator intervention against vandalism and User:Luna Santin quickly blocked the sockpuppet.
Anita created several more accounts, all within the names, Anita9341 rocks or rules and Luna Santin is a joke. She also created accounts such as Anita935 or other ones ending with different numbers.
She caused more damage on The Simple English Wikipedia where she appeared as Anita934 that evening. She vandalized 15 more pages by blanking them and Kimberly Ashton a Simple English Wikipedia user reacted so violently that Anita934, created accounts all to personal attack Kimberly.
On September 15th, between 00:00 and 00:30, there was an edit war between simple:User:PullToOpen and a Anita sockpuppet. The Anita sockpuppet had blanked several pages. She was blocked again by Blockinbox and Archer7.
Her accounts ranged from attacking Kimmy to attacking PulltoOpen.
On September 19th, Anita told Simple that her account creation had been blocked and that she would never come back to Simple again.
