Incidentally, found another wiki they've "hacked": This site apparently hasn't noticed it yet, and this page was previously "hacked" (actually created) by yet another IP: 81.215.185.202. If it wasn't a talk-page, I'd consider semi-protecting it. Four times to one page, all from Turkey, same basic MO. If vandalism continues afterwards, I'd recommend just blocking the ISP's entire spectrum. Personally, I think the best course of action is to ask Daveh to report the offending IPs, if they vandalize anything else.
Anyways, I've been looking into the whole thing, and according to, we can report the abuse to if we want to.
WOW TROUBLESHOOTING IPTRACE TV
TheRealLurlock Talk 10:29, 8 March 2007 (EST) Maybe there was a program about wikipedia on turkish TV and now every 12-year-old trying to feel like a "gangsta" is out looking for wikis to "hack" ( snicker). I'll bet these guys are really proud of themselves for this, though I can't imagine why. TheRealLurlock Talk 10:22, 8 March 2007 (EST) A quick Google search for one of the IPs also turned up a similar edit on another wiki. Don't want to start an international incident here, just thought it was awfully strange. How they consider editing a talk page on an open wiki to be "hacking" is beyond me, but what I wonder is where these people came from? (I haven't checked, but I don't think we have any legit editors from Turkey - don't even think there's a Turkish-language version of this game out there.) Just wondering why they decided to target our site, and whether they've been just doing this to lots of people, or what. I blocked them both - didn't see much need for a warning when they even refer to themselves as "hackers". (See Special:Contributions/85.99.81.84 and Special:Contributions/81.213.238.147) Both IPs were traced to locations in Turkey, and both used the same basic M.O. Not sure why, but we've just had the second attack from a "hackers" group in Turkey. But Daveh beat me to the punch on enacting the blocks :( - Nephele 17:18, 16 February 2007 (EST) Okay, who pissed off Turkey? So repeated vandalism after a warning = block. And the timing makes it look very likely that the user received the first warning, then chose to get a new IP address to circumvent the warning. And the edits are unquestionably vandalism. TheRealLurlock Talk 17:07, 16 February 2007 (EST) Yep, I agree that based on Lurlock's evidence it is safe to assume that the same person made the two sets of edits, and therefore treat the two IP addresses as a single user. There should be almost no doubt that they are the same person, (both in London, both made practically identical edits to the same page), thus usually blocking policy would still apply, I'd think. The fact that they used a different IP to repeat the vandalism after the warning doesn't change anything. Wrye 16:36, 16 February 2007 (EST) I did warn first. Personally, I would not object to a temporary block. However, mitigating factors are that they vandalized the same page repeatedly and then repeated vandalism after you undid it. TheRealLurlock Talk 16:16, 16 February 2007 (EST) Welp, you're familiar with UESPWiki:Blocking_Policy, which generally requires a warning first. (If this person has access to 2 IPs, they may have access to more, and will probably just come back again if these 2 are blocked.) There seems to be an argument with somebody on that is related to this, I didn't want to get too far into it, but it might be worth contacting their administrators as well. I'm recommending at least a temporary block on them both, and possible further investigation.
Both IPs are located in the same area (London, UK), so it's pretty obvious they're the same person. Then User:84.66.192.58 came on and made the same edits. First User:84.71.27.192 came on and made a bunch of offensive edits, I warned and reverted. Just had a repeat vandalism incident to Oblivion:Weapons.
