The Wikipedia vandal
Well let’s look at the evidence in order.
- This edit done to the Wikipedia page about me at 15:22 on 23 October 2007. As one can see that is to change the URL of the blog to nationalfront.org.nz – a group of neo-nazis whose activities I have opposed on multiple occasions – in fact one of their former leaders once had me on the list of most hated people, and another put up a photo of me with “juden” in blood red stamped on it. Considering what happened to my family at the hand of the Nazis, I can’t think of anything much more offensive than linking me to neo-nazis. But even so, the worse thing is doing it by way of Wikipedia vandalism which helps destroy all the wonderful work done by so many volunteers there.
- The IP address of that edit was 146.171.16.7
- On 6 November 2007, two edits were done by 146.171.16.9, again changing the blog URL, replacing it with links to my photo on Couch Surfing.
- The IP address 146.171.16.7 was used to comment on Kiwiblog at 15:48 on 23 October 2007 – just 26 minutes after the Wikipedia vandalism. It also made a comment that day at 1.46 pm.
- That IP address (146.171.16.7) has had 300 comments made from it to Kiwiblog since 28 Sep 2007 – all from the same person.
- The IP address 146.171.16.9 was used to comment on Kiwiblog at 16:04 and 16:40 on 06 November 2007 – the Wikipedia vandalism was done at 16:27 and 16:29.
- That IP address (146.171.16.7) has had 125 comments made from it to Kiwiblog since 25 Oct 2007 – all from the same person
- One particular person has also gone on several times previously about my couch surfing photo and seems obsessed by it – he has posted here and here.
- That same person is the same person as the person using both IP addresses here at the time the Wikipedia vandalism was done. This removes pretty much any reasonable doubt.
- Sam Dixon is therefore indefinitely banned from Kiwiblog. Not just for trying to link me to the neo-nazis of the National Front – but for doing by vandalising Wikipedia.
