User:Evil Monkey/WikiUser

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I first came to the attention of WikiUser when I edited Claire Weekes [1]. Now I will admit that maybe my edits were a little too severe but did take offense to the fact that my edit was reverted without any comment. So I edited the page again [2] with an edit summary of "don't revert without comment; Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies)". This change was also reverted without comment by WikiUser. That was when I got my first message from WikiUser [3], which included "stop sabotaging that article and changing it so it's stating things that aren't true". I made this reply [4] on WikiUser's talk page and got this reply [5]. And then made my final two edits to Claire Weekes so that at the very least it conformed with the Manual of Style [6].

After this I looked through WikiUser's contributions to find if any other articles needed things like categorising and corrections to conform to the manual of style. Some days later I got another message [7] where I was accused of sabotaging [articles] by putting in spelling and grammar mistakes and other stuff to make them worse.

I replied to this on User talk:WikiUser with this post [8] which listed all the diffs to the articles asking where the spelling and grammar mistakes were. WikiUser then told me that it wasn't his job to "do all your wiki editing for you now" [9]. He also accused me of removing critical posts on my talk page (I had merely gone through and removed old posts which included both praise and criticism). I had a look back through the history and found that he himself was much more blatant at removing criticisim often declaring it to be 'vandalism' or 'hassle by nazi stalkers'. [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18]

A large amount of material was also copied from WikiUser's talk page to my own [19] including material that wasn't even related to me (which I subsequently removed [20]. He also did this to ChrisO [21] and Violetriga [22].

He accuses the three of us of targeting him as "he's disabled and has said typing is physically painful for him" [23]. This fact I did not know until I read it in this message. And it is pure coincidence that the three of us have had contact with WikiUser at the same time.

At this point I have decided not to reply anymore to WikiUser.


The saga continues. An anonymous editor 217.204.65.210 edited some of WikiUser's creations on January 30. It was quite obvious this was WikiUser as he insisted on changing the articles so that they didn't conform with the Manual of Sytle [24] [25] [26] [27]. The anon also accused MykReeve of Americanising the spelling (a pet hate of WikiUser) [28]. And perusing the User contributions for the anon we find that he has accused people of being Nazis, something WikiUser has done in the past.
