Strange, isn't it?
Not really, MelVic (looks like a Ukrainian who lives in Melbourne, Australia) had been fighting with people on Ukrainian WP. It's been fucked up for years thanks to their political chaos. It took the WMF FIVE YEARS to put him/her on the Global Ebil List.

Please don't ask me about Ukrainian editwars. I beg you. Too much misery.

Makes me wonder why he was not blocked locally.

No WMF ban since a month

Post by CMAwatch » Fri Sep 04, 2020 3:32 am

30 days without WMF ban. A miracle as of 2020.

But I feel that the next WMF ban is less than a week away.

Who do you assume will be banned?
Still "Globally Banned" on Wikipedia for the high crime of journalism.

I don't know.

But I know who may soon be community-banned:

Blazer Phoenix. I will make a post about him.

The second WMF-banned Abd

Post by CMAwatch » Sat Oct 03, 2020 5:45 pm

A different, unrelated Abd got banned by the WMF.

https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Speci ... h/عبد_الله

عبد الله literally reads Abd Allah in Arabic. Not kidding.

Judging from his Arabic-WP edits (translated) he was doing assorted trivial "gnoming". He obviously lives in Qatar. Possibly there was some kind of political squabble happening here--ar-WP did a great job of covering up the details.....i don't see anything obviously "outrageous" or "disruptive" here.

King kong92: A failed comeback

Post by CMAwatch » Mon Oct 05, 2020 7:49 pm

King kong92 registered in 2006, at the age of 14, thus somewhat immature.

They lasted 4 years on Wikipedia (with intermittent inactivities) until an indefinite block.

Back then, in the 2000s (a.k.a. Wikipedia's Monobook years), sock puppeteering was not yet punished with indefinite blocks.

Nine years later, they decided to try a comeback.

Discussion here.

They were free for around 1 month, boasted about being a proud Wikipedian since 2006, but then the blue bear hunter catched them (see bottom of that page).

(Side note: Berean Hunter was shortly blocked in 2008 due to edit warring. But then unblocked manually.)

King Kong airlines crashed tragically shortly after a promising take-off after nine years of apparent inactivity.

----

In the WMF hall of shame, they are listed in the same line as an editor called Cirflow, joined 2014. But CirFlow appears to be an unrelated editor.
