Several people have noticed and he has had his ban extended (not by the
arbitrators but by a sysop who banned him anew). His case is still in
arbitration. You are welcome to this information to the evidence page and to
request relief on [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Wik2]].

Subject: [WikiEN-l] Wik's vandalism and threats
Why is that nobody has even bothered to note that Wik has consistanly
violated his 7-day block and not only that, but is going wild in vandalizing
other people's User and Talk pages? What is it about Wik that you people
let him get away with so much? Does he have blackmail information on you
people? Why is everybody bending over backwards to help him get away with
so much? If it were me, especially, or any other user who behaved as Wik
does, we would have been banned and not allowed to post again, let alone
violate the requirements of his ban and violate the requirement that nobody
be allowed to vandalize other people's User and Talk pages? Why is that I
am the only person who seems to be interested in protecting Quagga, who, for
some unknown reason, has become the target of Wik's wrath (well, I am too,
and I was at first. Then when I decided the hell with it and let him have
his way, Dori protected Wik's Talk page and Wik didn't go afte r HIM.)
There is no reason for Wik's attacks on Quagga.
And now that Quagga has, justifiably, returned the affection, Wik has posted
this on Jimmy Wales's Talk page:
"All right, after my last comment Quagga has done it again. I'm seriously
throwing down the gauntlet now: either you effectively protect my userspace
(which clearly now necessarily entails banning Quagga) or this site will not
come to rest. I have an endless supply of proxies (and ISPs if necessary).
You know that I have never used such things in article disputes. But this
now is a matter of personal honour, and I will never relent on this in the
slightest. It is one thing that, after spending ten months doing more useful
edits than anyone else, I was effectively banned in a grotesque arbitration
ruling, but that I should now, adding insult to injury, have to accept my
own user space being vandalized with impunity, is a monstrous injustice that
I simply WILL NOT ACCEPT. Wik "
So, is anybody going to do anything about it, or are you just going to let
him have his way? Or are you going to block Quagga because Wik says so?
More useful edits than anyone else? My, Wik has a high opinion of himself,
doesn't he? But then, it's the way all of you make him feel, isn't it?
