 His actions are just strange? It's called cyber bullying that children do to each other. Tell him to grow up or you're going to have to take grown up actions to make him stop.

reader, anonymous, writes (3 July 2009): There are a few points you need to clarify, I mean how can he make legal threats on a free website like wikipedia? I mean I know there are plenty of gullible, exploitable people all over the internet but it sounds strange to me that he could actually do that on wikipedia.
In what way is it making you unpopular,in real life/online?
To be honest he should have stopped out of respect for your feelings, I assume he knows how much it disgusts you. What is he thinking? He even lied to you about it.
That's a tough situation you are in, if I were in your position there's a number of things I'd do.
I'd ask my girlfriend to stop.
If she didn't then I'd monitor her activities, take note of her usernames and contact the admins of wikipedia with details of those names and details of what sh is doing, I'd come to an arrangement with them to inform them of her usernames as they change.
If that didn't work I'd ask them to perma ban our i.p. address if they can.
As far as your relationship is concerned I think you're in trouble if he is willing to both lie to you and not stop something you so detest.

 You need to tell your husband to stop this behavior because in the end he's going to make the two of you outcasts or worse yet be at the end of someone taking legal action against you. Legal actions beget other legal actions.. One day he will make a legal threat to the wrong person who will return the favor and possibly actually succeed.
My question is though, how is it possible to even make legal threats to other people on wikipedia?
