In order to remain listed at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User conduct, at least two people need to show that they tried to resolve a dispute with this user and have failed. This must involve the same dispute with a single user, not different disputes or multiple users. The persons complaining must provide evidence of their efforts, and each of them must certify it by signing this page with ~~~~. If this does not happen within 48 hours of the creation of this dispute page (which was: 20:17, 23 January 2008 (UTC)), the page will be deleted. The current date and time is: 20:39, 14 May 2024 (UTC).
Users should only edit one summary or view, other than to endorse.
This is a summary written by users who are concerned by this user's conduct. Users signing other sections ("Response" or "Outside views") should not edit the "Statement of the dispute" section.
Muscovite99 has repeatedly engaged in blatant personal attacks, and shows no sign of stopping. He has also been engaged in edit warring.
This is a summary written by users who have initiated the request for comment. It should spell out exactly what the changes they'd like to see in the user, or what questions of behavior should be the focus.
Muscovite99 should stop engaging in disrupting editing and personal attacks. He should be blocked, if he refuses to stop.

On the talk page for the article on Vladimir Putin, Muscovite99 has repeatedly engaged in name calling and ad hominem arguments.
(Provide diffs. Links to entire articles aren't helpful unless the editor created the entire article. Edit histories also aren't helpful as they change as new edits are performed.)

This was all after an Admin removed this comment the first time. And after extensive discussion by the same admin and another admin. This is not the only article in which he has been engaged in such behavior. He has been doing the same thing of late in the Vladimir Putin article. Frjohnwhiteford (talk) 00:04, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

This is a summary written by the user whose conduct is disputed, or by other users who think that the dispute is unjustified and that the above summary is biased or incomplete. Users signing other sections ("Statement of the dispute" and "Outside Views") should not edit the "Response" section.
{Add summary here, but you must use the endorsement section below to sign. Users who edit or endorse this summary should not edit the other summaries.}
Please remember about Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers rule. This user has only ~600 edits in English WP. Did anyone of the people who filed this RfC try to discuss WP policies at this user talk page? No. No any steps to resovle this conflict (if there is any conflict) has been made in my opinion. Punishing someone for activities outside the English WP and not related to English WP (that is in Russina WP) is hardly appropriate.
Users who endorse this summary:
After looking into the issue, this appears to be only one aspect of a fairly wide-ranging content dispute that has repeatedly gotten personal (e.g., here and here). Certainly User:Muscovite99 has made some inappropriate personal statements as presented in the diffs, and these should not continue. Overall, though, his role seems more suited to a lower level of dispute resolution, such as WP:WQA.
Users who endorse this summary:
Update: After further personal attacks by the subject, this issue was discussed in this thread on AN/I. The result was basically no action. I think this RfC should now be considered closed. If there is further incivility from the user, his history as described in this RfC should be considered. Appropriate steps might include posting a ((uw-npa1)) or ((uw-npa2)) on his talk page, taking the issue to WP:WQA, or alerting one of the admins currently mediating the underlying content dispute. --BlueMoonlet (t/c) 15:54, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

This user had a history of violating WP rules and had his account blocked several times in the Russian segment due to violations, as can be seen here: Russian talk page He also has a history of vandalism. Frjohnwhiteford (talk) 20:17, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Muscovite99 continued to engage in personal attacks after being warned to stick to the issues. Accuses several users of vandalism including an administrator [3]. User accuses others of vandalism and violating WP:NPOV when only he a persistent history of being warned for violating WP:NPOV on the said (Vladimir Putin) article [4] [5] [6] has been blocked for violating the 3RR on that article [7].--Miyokan (talk) 13:34, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Biophys argues that Muscovite99 is a newcomer and hence should not be punished for this reason. He also argues that Muscovite99's wrongdoings in Russian WP are irrelevant. They are, indeed, irrelevant for the decision to be made in English WP. They nonetheless prove that Muscovite99 is not a newcomer and he or she is well aware of the effect his activities may have. He has over 5000 edits in Russian WP and numerous warnings on his talk page there. Cfeet77 (talk) 11:59, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
