well, its not really me, its a room-mate who is having this problem, I said I would try and help out! The harassment is basically some guy from off Wikipedia seems to have a bizarre fixation with her! he managed to bother her so much she made what was interpreted as a "legal threat", because he broadcasted her place of employment by looking up her ip address, he also falsly accused her of being a "sock puppet", this claim was dismissed! however this guy (he seems like hes 12 or something!) immediatly went on a rip after the sock puppet claim was denied by admin and enlisted a couple of editors to harass her, putting up "sock puppet" again by broadcasting her workplace on an ip address (sorry if this is confusing to you) well sadly she took the bait and again threatened to talk to wiki admin about this, or to file a wiki alert about this abuse. In responce to this and to stop her from taking action he froze her account! and ip (hense calling me up to help!) when a wiki alert is clearly not a legal threat! what do you recommend ..I fear if this continues my friend is heading for a mental breakdown!
She is concerned because these couple of users have discussed her location on their talk pages, the fact that she does edits from a particular library in town. Maybe my friend is over-reacting but she recently had to go to court to get a peace bond against a boyfriend who was stalking her. Any advice? This is craziness! Maybe I should not get involved in all this, but this seems abusive! Also I did some research and it is a violation of wiki policy to threaten employment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Libertybell01 (talk • contribs) 20:36, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You just gave me your own Wikipedia account; I can't look into it without hers. I assure you that I am a Wikipedia administrator, and if any administrator blocks you in a way that is a violation of Wikipedia policy, I will either unblock you myself or take the problem to the community to be fixed. There's not really anything I can do to help if I don't know who you're talking about, though. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs)20:44, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Libertybell01 20:46, 7 October 2007 (UTC)what is meant by Quacking, I really don't want trouble, or for someone to complain to my ip as well, I just want to help out but in the right way and to not cause troubleLibertybell0120:46, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'll happily explain the quacking after I solve this problem. I don't understand what you expect me to do, though, if I don't know what user you are talking about. I can't review her contributions or see who blocked her inappropriately if I don't know who she is. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs)20:49, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1. Follow this link to see what this started out as.
2. From what I have been able to piece together from her excited conversations and these links is another user was unhappy that a "sock puppet" reveiw did not go his way, and went on a rip against her. I am sorry to bother you with this as it seems pretty crazy to me, so I can't see how you feel about it, I think this girl is headed for a mental breakdown. Maybe it's not my place to get involved, but the last thinng I want is for one of these people to contact my ip and complain that I too am an "abusive sock puppet", I'm sorry but I'm 28 and all this whole saga seems immature and bizarre to me, she is even talking about complaining to the local police about this (the revelation of her location, where she goes to the library) I just want to take the temperature down on this and for everyone to go their way. The other administrators were able to let this go, why is this guy persisting with driving my friend to the loony bin?[reply]
Libertybell01 21:03, 7 October 2007 (UTC)"Precious Roy is disenchanted with recent developments regarding an abusive editor who appears to have been allowed to skate away, and will be taking an extended wikibreak. He does, however, reserve the right to lurk and, perhaps, make the occasional edit here or there. His watch list has been stripped to the bone—troublemakers, go nuts!"
This man seems to have issues with the fact that he feels she "got away" with something, it's like he thought this was the OJ Simpson trail or something. If you can't help with this, I understand, but this does not seem respectful to me.Libertybell0121:03, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

"I have to say I'm a little disappointed that she's been unblocked so quickly, and without hearing from those involved in her Wikidrama. Please read my comments on her talk page." Precious Roy 21:19, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm looking into the links you've given me now. Please- just sign your comments once, at the end, instead of signing at the beginning, middle, and end. And if there are specific places you want me to see, links to them are more helpful than quotes from them. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs)21:10, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it might be one of a mighty army of irritating sockpuppets
I see the problem now. After you were blocked for acting inappropriately in AfD discussions, instead of accepting a short-term block, learning from it, and editing more appropriately, you tried to get around the block by creating new accounts. You did this so much, and caused so many problems, that quite a few editors became involved in preventing you from creating new accounts. The rules at Wikipedia don't allow you to create a new account to avoid the consequences of bad decisions with an old account, so you broke the rules by doing that. I can see why you might have been shocked to discover that it isn't particularly difficult to identify where you are editing from; my advice to you is that you don't create any more new accounts. You have a rather distinct editing style, so it's easy to tell when it's you, even when you have a new name. I didn't even know about the situation with User:Tweety21 until you brought it to my attention, but I immediately saw that you have her unique editing style, and I'll recognize it right away if I see it again. Your threat to call the police and report Wikipedia is, of course, rather silly, since anyone can use a whois program to identify the location of an internet user, not just on Wikipedia, and doing so isn't illegal at all. I'm going to go ahead and block your account, since you aren't allowed to create new accounts, and I think it would be a good idea if you just stopped creating sockpuppet accounts and found a new hobby. Knitting is getting trendy, I've heard. By the way, the "quacking" notes I put in my edit summaries, the ones that you asked about, were a reference to an old aphorism: "If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably is a duck." I knew you were the sockpuppet of some editor avoiding a block from your first edit here; I just didn't know which one. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs)21:25, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The problem with your edits, as the warnings on your talk page say, is that they seem to violate the neutral point of view policy. You appear to be trying to make the subject look worse, instead describing why he is notable in a neutral way. For example, putting "scare quotes" around his Poynter institute title in order to disparage his position there, or removing the word 'praise' to make it look like his writing has only received disapproval and not praise (when the sources say that he was widely praised for the articles), or by adding 'claims to' to make it look like he is not being honest about being harassed (when the sources confirm that he faced harassment). My suggestion is that you don't rewrite the article in ways that are biased or that don't accurately reflect what the sources say. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs)22:20, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks
You are my new favorite admin. That exchange with Libertybell01 was great. I was a little confused when she asked about quacking so your final comment in the thread was quite a payoff. Cheers! Precious Roy22:42, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I assumed you went back to the history and saw me quacking at her from her first comments... the story of the "roommate" who was unjustly blocked by a cabal of out-of-control admins was a little obvious, I thought. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs)22:44, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have long been a fan of Queen's, even before we got to know each other. Her wonderful style of humor, mixed with good common sense, and knowledge of policy and procedure, is such a wonderful asset, a real breath of fresh air to a project that can sometimes suffer from too little humor and fun. Having humor and inserting it into situations can lighten the mood, and still get the job done quite effectively. Queen's talk page is a perfect example of this, and I for one, just love how she handles exchanges such as the above with Libertybell. But my dear Queen, where is my picture of a duck! Ariel♥Gold07:44, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the kind words; I get a lot of entertainment from slapping down vandals and trolls, so much that it might say something unpleasant about my psyche. And you're absolutely right; there should have been a picture of a duck, and an appropriate one has now been added to the relevant discussion. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs)10:41, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hee hee! Thanks for the edit there. I created it ages ago as my Administrator Recall page. Also, the day you edited it was my three year Wikibirthday and my one year adminship anniversary, so it was a very nice present. Hope you're doing well. -- Merope13:31, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, im FisherQueen and i dont know the fucking rules! But im still an admin deleting articles for no reason and using the same rule to back it up over and over, even though that rule clearly says fiction is allowed — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joshyboy1000 (talk • contribs)
Could you please link me to the rule you found that says that you are permitted to create articles on subjects you made up, such as your article on Vegetable Kiev? I'm always interested in learning new rules; if the community has decided that Wikipedia isn't an encyclopedia any more, I'm a little surprised I haven't already heard about. By the way, your subject heading doesn't appear to have anything to do with the contents of your topic. If you are confused about what the word gay means, we have a very good article on the subject you could read. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs)16:32, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
THE VEGETABLE KIEV IS REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is an animal that exists near the Devils Punchbowl in south england, so SCREW you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joshyboy1000 (talk • contribs)
Regarding the first, I am happy to review your sources and reconsider the deletion. Regarding the second, as you accurately pointed out, I am gay, and so unlikely to screw a boy, even if he were over the age of 18, which you appear not to be. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs)16:38, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Just out of interest, youve given me my final warning, whats to stop me creating a new account??? asshole
also, i never called you gay, just mearly titled this part Gayness, and i never asked you to screw an under 18 boy, i asked you to screw yourself — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joshyboy1000 (talk • contribs) 11:39, October 8, 2007
No, my rectum doesn't type well. As for the other... I think it'll be more fun for you to discover it on your own. And... I don't get how that last is an insult. Masturbation is lots of fun. Maybe you aren't quite old enough to have discovered it yet, but I assure you that you'll enjoy it. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs)16:43, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Dont worry, Ive discovered it, but i was telling you to cut your midget dick off and shove it up your ass, and i take it youll block my IP address from creating a new account?, well dont worry, I have a lot of computers in my house, bring it on, dickwipe
