Stopped shortly before this report, and no activity outside of enwiki and dewiki, so no need for a gblock at this time, thanks. QuiteUnusual (talk) 19:05, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Lezgistxa

• Lezgistxa [SULinfo] – [cross-wiki-contribs]

User:Lezgistxa is a vandal banned from the Lezgi Wikipedia. He vandalized the article on Lezgi Language on various projects, replacing the alphabet written in Cyrillic by the alphabet he made up in Latin. (Lezgi is written in Cyrillic alphabet). On top of this, he often logs out and edits from IP, accusing other in vandalism or issuing threats.

Examples:

• Lak Wikipedia: [2]; then vandalized my talk page (removed by a steward), today from IP: [3]
• Chechen Wikipedia: [4] and further edit warring in this article;
• Russian Wikipedia [5]; false accusations: [6]--Ymblanter (talk) 22:06, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

The best from my perspective would be a global lock; however, I do not know whether the activity of the user in the last half a year (only vandalism and threats) qualifies; if not, please make sure that his vandalism in Lak Wikipedia would be stopped (a block and/or a page protection); there are no administrators there, and I am the only regular user. Thank you in advance.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:06, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
