Another player in the same game is User:(WT-en) Fragment of the Future. The two seem to chat by moving each others' pages. (WT-en) Pashley 03:43, 18 December 2007 (EST)

Indian Spammer

[edit]

Altering phone numbers on the Indian Subcontinent -- possibly a tout trying to drum up business or worse. Pages altered include Puri, Lahore, Kalimpong and many others. Multiple IP Addresses used including 121.247.229.171, 203.148.64.20, 121.246.3.78 and many others. See "Phone number spam" discussion in the pub.

Please revert India phone number changes on sight. -- (WT-en) Colin 09:26, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

WoW, to put it succinctly. Several of us are on it. He's prolific this time. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 12:48, 6 February 2007 (EST)

User:(WT-en) KrobyHouse and sock puppets

This one discovered sock puppets at a young age. The usual juvenilia... -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 01:04, 16 June 2007 (EDT)

I just took a look and it appears that the crisis is over (at least for now)? - (WT-en) Todd VerBeek 09:20, 26 May 2007 (EDT)
