This is a summary written by users who dispute this user's conduct. Users signing other sections ("Response" or "Outside views") should not edit the "Statement of the dispute" section.

Description

User:Iloveminun has been using sockpuppets and harrassment primarily to promote his Pokémon website, Pokémon Galaxy, and erase references to serebii.net, which is more established, as well as to try and pass of copyrighted Pokémon artwork as his own. After using sockpuppets to nominate a template which referenced serebii for deletion was found out and confirmed by checkuser [1], Iloveminun has taken to harassing users, especially User:HighwayCello, by vandalising HighwayCello's user page, sending "Don't listen to HighwayCello" messages to administrators, the Pokémon Wikiproject and the Administrators notice board, as well as removing an IfD tag placed by User:Smurrayinchester, accusing HighwayCello of vandalism when it was reverted, and vandalising the IFD discussion relating to the image.

HighwayCello is the one who is doing all the attacks, im working on a page with evidence, so think before you put your name down that you agree.

This is a ridicuous RFC. I know what this user has been doing and he should get a hard slap in the face for that, but this has just gone to far. Whoever filed this RFC is being a little bit of a WP:DICK. Raichu 06:39, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Users who endorse this summary:

I don't know exactly how and when RFCs should be closed, but this discussion is clearly stale, and the case has been heard by Arbcom, resulting in a one-year ban for various misdeeds. Move to close.
