Rough draft of Admin Noticeboard Comment

[edit]

I'm acting as advocate for Spylab who was recently involved in an edit dispute with Mitsos for which both received short blocks for 3RR violations and the page in question (Hrisi Avgi) was protected. As I investigated Spylab's complaints against Mitsos, I saw a far more troubling pattern emerge than a simple edit war. Since joining WP, Mitsos has focused on asserting his political viewpoints into a variety of articles related to Greece and Nazism, without showing any concern for WP:V, WP:NPOV, WP:NOR and in some instances, WP:CIVIL. The following links show some selected examples of these abuses:

From my perspective, Mitsos should be restricted from editting articles related to Greece or Nazism. He has been warned on his talk page many times (1, 2 for blanking warnings and 3 for blanking a comment that tried to inform him of WP:V standards) and shows no sign of stopping. The information he injects into WP is at best unverifiable and at worst a personal attack against anyone who does not share his political agenda. Sorry if this is a bit long, but I'd really like community input and action as soon as possible. Regards, Bobby 18:34, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

  • I agree with the above, and can provide more examples of offenses if required.Spylab 02:53, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
  • The more we have the better. I also feel like some of my examples aren't that strong since I didn't go through every single edit. If you have some stronger evidence, feel free to add it and or swap it with some of my weaker bits. Bobby 15:32, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Here are more examples, starting with more recent, going backwards (although not necesarily in exact order). Sorry if some of them duplicate ones already provided above:

    • I just found the above got deleted by accident (looks like an edit conflict). It's now back. I've moved the discussion initiated by Mitsos to the bottom of the page as a record. Bobby 14:49, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

It seems that some users want me blocked because they don't agree with my ideology. Your arguments are that I have commited personal attacks and other things against WP policy. You forgot to say about the significant contributions I have made to many articles, and you only reffer to very few cases where I have commited personal attacks. I was blocked because of that, and I have learned my lesson. About the dispute in Hrisi Avgi, Spylab, please see Talk:Hrisi Avgi. I know much more than you about that party, plus I can read Greek and you can't. Mitsos 19:30, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

  • It has nothing to do with not agreeing with your "ideology". The problem is your lack of civility, your dishonesty and most of all that fact that you are only here to twist articles to suit your beliefs. I make no secret of the fact I think you should be blocked. --SandyDancer 12:54, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
    • I 'm not dishonest and I 'm not twisting articles to suit my beliefs. I try to be as neutral as possible in my style of editing. If I didn't, I would blank the entire Holocaust article. But I know that Wikipedia must be neutral and include all POVs. Mitsos 14:59, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Here's a fresh instance of blatant vandalism by Mitsos - diff. The subject of the article is consistent with the other articles Mitsos targets. --SandyDancer 12:43, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Thanks. I just saw the notice on his talk page about this one. Bobby 14:17, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm no friend of the admin process, and I hate to see any user blocked, but this is not the first time he has been dishonest in an edit summary. People do not have time to sort his sincere contributions (few), from his lies and distortions (many). I was ok with having a racist moron running around- in fact I think it strengthens the project to have people with every POV buy into it - but now I've changed my mind in his case. Snitch away.

  • Thanks for the link. Bobby 15:28, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I wasn't lying. The source does not seems to be verifiable, I mean it doesn't even have a ISBN! Mitsos 16:59, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

  • This page really isn't the place for you to discuss this, Mitsos, but for the record, that does not fit the definition of Wikipedia:Vandalism. Spylab 18:57, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Examples of editors trying to deal with the person on discussion pages

[edit]

See also the discussions that User:Mitsos deleted from his talk page (because they showed him in a negative light). Examples of that are listed higher on this page in the lists of offences.Spylab 18:57, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
