M/O

This users MO is to troll and vandalize wikipedia under the guise he is hunting down banned users. From the editing pattern, this person is a MEGA TROLL just here to disrupt and for their own amusement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.171.160.116 (talk) 23:54, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

This IP is one of Jeff Merkey's IP sockpuppets. Revertorium (talk) 00:06, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Stay off my page Jeff. Revertorium (talk) 00:10, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Last chance Jeff, next revert of you on my talk page means I go straight for the range block (69.171.160.*) Revertorium (talk) 00:14, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Blocked

I've blocked you and the IP for 24 hours for disruptive editing. I've started a discussion at ANI about you too, so we can try and get to the bottom of it. SmartSE (talk) 00:18, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

No problems. This is a prudent step for someone with no background on Merkey. Take a look at the contributions for the 69.171.160.* IP range and notice the orchid contributions for about half of the IP users. Jeff Merkey is a serial sockpuppeteer and a notorious copyright violator. He's spreading out the copyright violations by continually acquiring a new IP address using a dialup account. This is how he hides the nature of the copyright violations. I'd guess that if you take the final states of the orchid articles and put the text into google, you're going to find a near complete transcription of an existing book on Amazon.

Ok, if that's the case then I'll find someone to put in a range block. Can I ask how you know all about this though? Obviously you have had other accounts, right? SmartSE (talk) 00:40, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

A little bird dropped me an email saying that the IP addresses were spread spamming stuff onto WP. I dropped in to take a look and, sure enough, it's Jeff Merkey all over again. I have no other active accounts and have not edited WP since the last big go around with Merkey. I was NOT banned or blocked by ARBCOM/Jimbo/etc, unlike Merkey. What Merkey is doing is illegal and is polluting to WP. Revertorium (talk) 00:45, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
