Evidence

This user came out of nowhere and replaced text to Black supremacy that User:Rbaish had replaced previously. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Black_supremacy&curid=65426&diff=103774314&oldid=103772515

User vandalised the page Cool (aesthetic) [1]...twice [2]

Editing the IFD tag [3] (I have no idea how an IP user would know about this)

Edited my userpage [4]

Tried to imform him of this but he deleted it from his talk page [5]

Has a history of deleting warnings from his talk page [6],

While probably not technically vandalism, the anonymous IP editor has engaged in nonstop edit warring, using disingenuous or nonsensical edit summaries (or none at all), such as "neutralizing" at Cool (aesthetic) to delete text wholesale[7] -- with a clear bias against material related to African and African-American culture. This is not "giving it a worldwide view" (per User:Urthogie's comment below), but deliberatly skewing the article toward Europe/whites. Edits from this IP address elsewhere display a clear anti-black animus (and I'm being charitable here) with a complete disregard for balance or fairness.[8][9][10].

User:Rbaish has demonstrated similar disruptive behavior in some of the same articles, twisting sources, attempting to censor other voices by wholesale deletion of text without any attempt at justification, citing as authorities and sources some of the most unencyclopedic, inflammatory and blatantly racist voices in the media today, and edit-warring to push an if not blatantly racist agenda, certainly a paleocon one that is hostile to blacks, generally (note the stars and bars on his user page) -- and to truth, fairness and balance as well.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]

Yeah. I know this isn't an RfC against Rabaish, but the diffs provided certainly indicate a similarity of attitudes and MO. (Besides, IMO, it's time someone took this guy on in an RfC. Here's some ammo.) deeceevoice 08:48, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

The anonymous IP didn't vandalize Cool (aesthetic), in fact they added great info to it giving it a worldwide view.--Urthogie 05:54, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The edit links you've helpfully added here show that he has been violating Wikipedia:NPOV (giving undue weight to racist/white supremacist positions). But it also seems like he's been reverted when he's broken the rules significantly. So what's the big problem?--Urthogie 14:18, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That you even ask the question is absurd. The "big problem" is the integrity of the project. People get weary of fighting the same old battles. People have lives beyond Wikipedia and often tire of watching the ongoing activities of people like Rbaish and the anonymous IP editor, who repeatedly willfully and seriously undermine the integrity of the project. In this case, if not banned entirely from editing, they should be enjoined from editing articles with black content and with content related to "race" and ethnicity.
