Jan 12

• Using the IP address User:24.79.3.230 (contribs (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&target=24.79.3.230)), Plautus:
  • rewrote Space Shuttle Columbia disaster to say that it was shot down by the US government as part of a plan to help get a military shuttle replacement built to service the International Space Station "weapons platform". [1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Space_Shuttle_Columbia_disaster&diff=2140366&oldid=2139336)
  • vandalizes Ilan Ramon with obviously anti-semetic remarks. [2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Ilan_Ramon&diff=2139456&oldid=2139434) [3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Ilan_Ramon&diff=2159982&oldid=2139456)

  • Plautus makes this (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Black_hole&diff=2380308&oldid=2376439) inflammatory edit to Black hole, alleging that they do not exist. This provokes an edit war, during which he is reverted by 67.70.170.207, Morwen, Evercat, Modemac, Isomorphic, Jwrosenzweig, Cyp, and SheikYerBooty. The only comment explination he offers is "black holes are a popular myth like god". Snoyes protects the page at 16:56.

• 16:50, Feb 13, 2004 (UTC)
  • Meanwhile, over at Albert Einstein, Plautus has made these edits [4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Albert_Einstein&dummy=1&diff=2379936&oldid=2379926) [5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Albert_Einstein&diff=2380047&oldid=2380036), stating that Einstien was undoubtedly a plaguarist. (The second one is, for the record, a copyvio of this (http://home.comcast.net/~xtxinc/einstein.htm)). Surprise surprise, he is shortly embroiled in an edit war here too. Here, he is reverted by Isomorphic, Frecklefoot, 67.70.167.201, 67.69.166.154, 67.68.252.90, and 67.70.170.207. It is protected by Raul654 at 16:11.

• 17:35, Feb 13, 2004 (UTC)
  • Still embroiled in the above wars, Plautus starts editing Space Shuttle Columbia disaster to illustrate his belief that it was shot down. [6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Space_Shuttle_Columbia_disaster&dummy=1&diff=2380662&oldid=2380307). He ends up being reverted by SheikYerBootyl, Isomorphic, 67.70.170.207, Morwen, Evercat, Modemac. It is protected by Raul654 at 17:08, Feb 13, 2004.

• (At the same time)
  • While these wars are going on, discussions on his talk page are reverted without comment and despite warnings to the contrary[7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Plautus_satire&diff=2381437&oldid=2381369)[8] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Plautus_satire&diff=2381841&oldid=2381634).

[13] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia_talk:How_to_revert_a_page_to_an_earlier_version&dummy=1&diff=2413080&oldid=2412944)

  • Plautus moves comments from Wikipedia talk:How to revert a page to an earlier version to his talk page, with the appended message: I have absolutely NO FAITH in the "good faith" of the above passages. Raul654, I think you are a real jerk. You refused to take this crap off a page where it didn't belong, so now I've done it for you. Don't let this happen again, or I'll have to not call you a pathetic infant with a soiled diaper.

Raul654 even clarifies the offer [16] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Plautus_satire&diff=2439874&oldid=2439446). Plautus refuses. Shortly thereafter Plautus vandalizes Talk:Black hole to remove another user's comment [17] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Talk:Black_hole&diff=2416689&oldid=2416676), and Raul654 bans him.

• 20:39, Feb 18, 2004 (UTC)
  • Plautus attacks Raul654, calls him passive-aggressive, engaging in backhanded insults, childish gloating, and abusing his authority.

• 05:04, Feb 19, 2004 (UTC)
  • Following failed discussion on Plautus' talk page, wherein Raul654 is concilliatory and Plautus is sarcastic and uncooperative, [31] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Plautus_satire&diff=2437644&oldid=2437636)[32] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Plautus_satire&diff=2439351&oldid=2439326)[33] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Plautus_satire&diff=2439874&oldid=2439446)[34] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Plautus_satire&diff=2439883&oldid=2439874) (including some great quotes from Plautus, like Agreement does not always mean compromise.

Feb 20

• All day Feb 20, 2004
  • Edits Talk:September 11, 2001 attacks to imply that the events of the day were an Israeli conspiracy. He never says this outright, but a long recital about 5 Israelis being caught going around trying to blow up the George Washington bridge (or something) gives that impression. He also argues that some of the Sep 11 hijackers are still alive, but is vague on detail. He also seems to think that there was no proper FBI investigation. One example of many: [37] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Talk:September_11%2C_2001_attacks&diff=2459091&oldid=2459027)
  • He also argues over the 'correct' transcribing of Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda from Arabic to English using misinterpreted sources, and the FBI's preferred spelling of bin Laden's name. [38] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Talk:September_11%2C_2001_attacks&diff=2466215&oldid=2466144) has an example of his arguments. This deteriorates into an edit war in September 11, 2001 attacks towards the end of Feb 20.

• 20:30, Feb 20, 2004 (UTC)
  • Changes picture caption of impact crater on moon to reflect fringe science beliefs.

  • Vandalizes User:Evercat/Plautus, where Evercat was documenting Plautus' bad behavior. [46] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User:Evercat/Plautus&dummy=1&diff=2478616&oldid=2478294) - Evercat was on vacation at the time. On the talk page, Raul654 says [47] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Evercat/Plautus&oldid=2479845) that while Evercat is on vacation, the page is not to be changed. Silsor reverts, and Plautus promptly starts a reversion war [48] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User:Evercat/Plautus&action=history). Silsor ends the war by protecting User:Evercat/Plautus. Plautus lists Sislor on the Wikipedia:Possible misuses of admin privileges. (I dunno if this was really vandalism, he was just clarifying his actual beliefs... - Evercat)
    • On the misuses of priviliges page, Plautus goes on to accuse Raul654 of lying [49] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Possible_misuses_of_admin_privileges&diff=2480297&oldid=2480292) (which he later admits is groundless [50] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Possible_misuses_of_admin_privileges&diff=2480768&oldid=2480598)), and accuses Silsor of manipulating version histories [51] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Possible_misuses_of_admin_privileges&diff=2493539&oldid=2493511) (and is later informed that only a developer can do this). He even promises to leave Wikipedia [52] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Possible_misuses_of_admin_privileges&diff=2493728&oldid=2493718), but does not follow through. (On Feb 23, he explained that he had only intended to stop editing articles, as opposed to their talk pages. - see [53] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Talk:September_11%2C_2001_attacks&diff=2498641&oldid=2498553)). Despite his causal slander against two admins, he's not humbled by the experience at all. [54] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Possible_misuses_of_admin_privileges&diff=2501576&oldid=2501519).

• All day Feb 22, 2004
  • Plautus demands mediation with Curps. [55] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation&dummy=1&diff=2463891&oldid=2463837)
  • Minutes later adds et al to complaint and includes Raul654 , SheikYerBooty, and Evercat. All four editors agree to mediation within hours. [56] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation&dummy=1&diff=2464161&oldid=2464143)
  • Plautus stalls and accuses member of mediation staff (Sannse) of meddling, telling that person to stay out of this [57] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation&dummy=1&diff=2486342&oldid=2486309). Sannse was acting in capacity of mediator and trying to assist process.
  • Plautus later realizes his mistake but leaves rude messages in place.[58] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation&dummy=1&diff=2487368&oldid=2487325)

• Later in the day Feb 22, 2004, early morning Feb. 23, 2004
  • Platus skirmishes with Roadrunner, Decumanus and others at Talk:Quasar over his ongoing attempts to include a fringe theory in the introductory paragraph. When challenged over his citations by Decumanus, he becomes increasingly strident and finally resorts to wholesale rearrangments of edits by Decumanus in order to cover his tracks. Attempts are reverted and re-reverted by Silsor.

Feb 23

• 07:48, Feb 23, 2004 (UTC)
  • Issues FINAL STATEMENT ON ALL DISPUTES on Requests for mediation page and attacks other editors, calling them thugs and dumb assholes. [59] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation&dummy=1&diff=2493824&oldid=2493812)

• 16:13, 23 Feb 2004 UTC
  • Tries to duke it out in Talk:astronomy with four people about crater morphology, apparently does not read references or will not admit that this is a well researched field, maintains that it's plasma arcs. [61] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Astronomy#Impact_Craters)

• 19:01, 23 Feb 2004 UTC
  • Edits Talk:September 11, 2001 attacks to make a number of assertions about September 11 events, including that Flight 77 never crashed into the Pentagon. [62] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Talk:September_11%2C_2001_attacks&diff=2499653&oldid=2499592)
  • Disputes passenger phone calls from Flight 11 as "unverifiable" and therefore false. It's true that we are entirely dependant on these phone calls for what happened on board there and on other planes, but the articles acknowledge this. Further, the calls have been very consistent, thus giving them credibility.

Feb 24

• 00:08, Feb 24, 2004
  • Realizing that attempts to set up mediation have failed, Raul654 requests that Jimbo refer the case to the arbitration committee [63] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Jimbo_Wales&diff=2503525&oldid=2503516).

• 03:53, 24 Feb 2004 (and other times)
  • Edits Talk:September 11, 2001 attacks to dispute that the Flight 93 passengers and crew had made ever made phone calls, except for Todd Beamer, or that they had intended to charge the hijackers. These are potentially defamatory statements.Makes errors of fact (eg the name of the operator who spoke to Beamer was anonymous). He continues these assertions the next day. [64] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Talk:September_11%2C_2001_attacks&diff=2515935&oldid=2515854) is one example of this.

• 22:40, Feb 24, 2004
  • Writes Troll mafia (now deleted):
  • Troll Mafia is the idea that trolls can coordinate and work effectively to attack people with impunity. Troll Mafia are predicted to appear to all casual observation to be sensible, rational users. By combining their efforts, Troll Mafia hypothesists predict, these meta-trolls can simultaneously give a forum the appearance of rule of law while violating the rights and granted priveleges given to all users of that forum.

Starts with an obvious troll, featuring "that overview sucks a$$", shown here [65] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Talk:Chess&diff=2525195&oldid=2525160). Later claims he was joking [66] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Talk:Chess&diff=2525397&oldid=2525357). Entire discussion, which remains mostly civil despite further attempts at trolling, is in this version [67] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Talk:Chess&oldid=2540360#Priorities_Really_Far_Out_Of_Whack).
