Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Rienzo/Evidence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anyone, whether directly involved or not, may add evidence to this page. Please make a header for your evidence and sign your comments with your name.

When placing evidence here, please be considerate of the arbitrators and be concise. Long, rambling, or stream-of-conciousness rants are not helpful.

As such, it is extremely important that you use the prescribed format. Submitted evidence should include a link to the actual page diff; links to the page itself are not sufficient. For example, to cite the edit by Mennonot to the article Anomalous phenomenon adding a link to Hundredth Monkey use this form: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Anomalous_phenomenon&diff=0&oldid=5584644] [1].

This page is not for general discussion - for that, see talk page.

Please make a section for your evidence and add evidence only in your own section. Please limit your evidence to a maximum 1000 words and 100 diffs, a much shorter, concise presentation is more likely to be effective. Please focus on the issues raised in the complaint and answer and on diffs which illustrate behavior which relates to the issues.

If you disagree with some evidence you see here, please cite the evidence in your own section and provide counter-evidence, or an explanation of why the evidence is misleading. Do not edit within the evidence section of any other user.

Be aware that the Arbitrators may at times rework this page to try to make it more coherent. If you are a participant in the case or a third party, please don't try to refactor the page, let the Arbitrators do it. If you object to evidence which is inserted by other participants or third parties please cite the evidence and voice your objections within your own section of the page. It is especially important to not remove evidence presented by others. If something is put in the wrong place, please leave it for the arbitrators to move.

The unity of the editor behind the sockpuppets[edit]

The group of alleged sockpuppets reside in Sweden, unusual for an english encyclopedia, particularly for a group of parties opposed to a single individual.

  • User:148.136.141.172 is the IP address for a computer in a public library in Linkoping, in Sweden.
  • User:Rienzo admits to being a contributer from Sweden - [2] (first edit to user page)
  • User:Lady Tara is competent in Swedish - [3] and likely from Sweden as their first ever action was to upload an (unfortunatly mildly sleazy) image from the swedish version [4]
  • User:Nasse (who signs under the name Piglet) admits to being Swedish - [5]

The group use the same terminology and childish style of language

Responding for each other

  • [10] Lady Tara responding to a comment I had placed on Rienzo's talk page (odd how Lady Tara would know the comment was there, as I have had little interaction whatsoever with Rienzo other than that comment)

5th December

  • [17] forgery of evidence - the quote does not exist on the relevant page's history

Abuse As User:Baffinisland[edit]

10th December

  • [18] homophobic user talk page vandalism (the user's only ever edit) -

Abuse As User:Lady Tara[edit]

29th June

  • The first talk page Lady Tara edited was Rienzo's - [19] implying Lady Tara wasn't homophobic, which is odd, given that Lady Tara also later wrote [20]

(The above account is now permanently blocked for impersonation and vandalism)

Evidence presented by Fredrik[edit]

Abuse as User:NahChyps[edit]

User:NahChyps made the following edits on 28 June:

  • [32] User page vandalism/anti-gay comments
  • [33] User page vandalism/anti-gay comments

Tim Starling found evidence that NahChyps and Rienzo were the same person (namely that they used the same password).

In addition to being concrete examples of anti-gay personal attacks, these demonstrate that Rienzo is willing to use sockpuppet accounts to deliver them.

Evidence presented by Thuresson[edit]

copied from Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Rienzo by sannse (talk) 20:14, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

148.136.141.172 is a computer belonging to the local administration in Linköping, Sweden (whois). It has been claimed that this is a public computer at the City Library in Linköping. The IP-number has created a lot of extra work for the administrators at Swedish Wikipedia because of slandering, insults, harassment etc and has been banned by myself once.

In November, user LouiseR was nominated for administrator at the Swedish Wikipedia. In the following discussion, he/she was accused of using sock puppets. On November 15, he/she admitted to using the sock puppets CrystalFrame, Råsopen, Mässerschmidtt and Melde and also having registered at the English Wikipedia as User:Rienzo (in Swedish). From mid-november until mid-january he/she hardly made any edits at the Swedish wikipedia and I notice that the same is true for Rienzo.

LouiseR is a respected contributor of articles about clothing but just like Rienzo he/she has also edited articles dealing with christianity, Rome and the holy see.
