Recurring vandalism on
en.wiktionary.org
Who can I address this to, so it can get resolved?
I believe we have one person who already created three user accounts to
come and vandalize Wiktionary with his disgusting goatse.cx image (I'm
sorry I have to bring that up again. He does other stuff as well, which
we can easily turn back, but these images are over the top). Is there a
possibility to find out from which IP-addresses this person is coming
and to block him that way? Since he creates user accounts, all we can do
is to ban him, which is utterly ineffective since he can easily create
another user account. I don't think there is a way for a moderator to
find out what the IP address is that a logged in user is coming from, or
is there? This is usually not necessary. If you do investigate it, maybe
it's a good idea to check whether he is active on other Wikimedia
projects as well.

(apparently all he did as this user was deleted again)
I hope a solution for this problem can be found. Thank you Polyglot

can be added to the list of accounts this guy created. Polyglot

James, somebody managed to create a user by the name of _:

<http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=%C2%A0>
What can we do about this? I'm pretty sure you are not the
person to bother about this. Is there somebody else I can
approach, when something like this occurs? Polyglot

We have a vandal, who seems to be intimately familiar with
how the wiki software works:
http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target…
<http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=%C2%8F>
He creates user accounts we cannot block and pages we cannot
delete:

Is the English Wiktionary the only place where this lowlife
operates? What can we do about it? Who can we contact abou
this? Thanks for an answer. Polyglot
