[edit] User:Tweety21

After she was banned (Oct 11, 2007), Tweety21 invoked the "right to vanish". Her main interest, she claimed, was deleting any personal information which had surfaced due to her own careless editing habits (editing while not logged in but identifying herself as Tweety21, signing her real name, posting personal information (real or made up), etc.). At first she used socks in an attempt to remove the content—by the end of the month, the office decided to humor her (despite the "right to vanish" not usually being extented to banned users) and deleted or blanked the information. In early December, a checkuser request confirmed she was back editing. Everything that had been blanked/deleted was reverted, as she chose to not actually vanish. Since then she's vandalized with socks and IPs (mostly talk pages of her other socks and IPs, her ban discussion, etc.); she also posts complaints on Jimbo's talk page. It seems that as the blocks on IPs expire, she returns to editing from them. There is an open checkuser request to see if she has any sleeper accounts. The vast majority of her IP edits have originated from London, Ontario.

Yamla is the admin who's dealt with her the most and Guy has apparently taken over handling her OTRS tickets, of which there have been many. For an all-too-in-depth chronicling of Tweety21's Wikipedian exploits, see this page that was started in early October 2007.
