I know it is standard practice on Wikipedia to assume that anyone (1) without an account and (2) making edits from an anonymous IP address might be more than one person. But in the case of 71.112.7.212, all of the edits are indeed the same person. Their IP address traces back to a static IP assigned by Verizon in Seattle, WA. The pattern of edits are also the same. Most notably—as inidicated above—this user's complete inability to participate positively on Wikipedia in any way. Even on the level of using a signature on their posts. I urge any admin reading this to seriously look over this user's history and take it seriously when other editors request a longer ban of this user. He/she contributes nothing positive towards Wikipedia and has definitely behaved like a troll and shows no signes of change. BaseballDetective 23:59, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Admin review of IP behavior as suspected sockpuppet

The IP was the subject of an extensive review of its behavior for suspected sockpuppetry here on February 26, 2007. The suspected user was User:Rbaish. The result proved inconclusive. Below is the evidence presented by User:Futurebird:

  • Editing the IFD tag [6] (I have no idea how an IP user would know about this)
  • Edited my userpage [7] Looks to me like Rbaish was just bein' friendly. You are a graffiti fan so he put a little there. But you deleted it. NIMBY? <--unsigned comment from 71.112.7.212
  • Tried to imform him of this but he deleted it from his talk page [8]... twice [9]
  • Has a history of deleting warnings from his talk page [10],
  • 71.112.7.212 deleted information from Cool (aesthetic) again... this is getting old. ---> 22:10, March 1, 2007 Doh! All IPs must look the same to me. This was not 71.112.7.212, but rather 71.224.241.18... futurebird 22:19, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Hmm. This doesn't seem to have any evidence of "sockpuppetry", it's just futurebird's criticism of Rbaish's editing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.112.7.212 (talk • contribs).

Admins who have blocked

As User:71.112.7.212
1. March 16, 2007 - User:Nihonjoe blocked for "extensive, repeated, and unrepentant vandalism"

IP Request for Unblock: "Where's the vandalism? I haven't vandalized anything. Please show me the diffs."
Response from User:MacGyverMagic: You've been blocked because you repeatedly removed material and failed to consider the warnings you received.
March 17, 2007: Denied again any vandalism, allowing others to believe that the IP was being used by someone else. Proclaimed "Show me the diffs"
User:Chrisch response: "By checking your recent contrib list, I can see that most of your edits are vandalism (especially the "remove advertising" edits). I am not required to spoon-feed you examples of your destructiveness - you can clearly see this yourself. Understand that if you continue arguing, reverting your talk page, or anything else against Wikipedia policy, you will be banned."
Engage in edit warring with User:Bobo192 and User:Real96, who were reverting the IP's removal of vandalism warning templates from their Talk page for being "incivil/incorrect". User:Chrisch reverts back to version with templates.

2. March 27, 2007 User:Seraphimblade blocked for "3RR, BLP on Nancy Reagan"

IP strongly denies they violated any policy or guideline: "If you would please unblock and speak to the editor that filed the incorrect 3RR I would appreciate it."
User:Seraphimblade response: "...that material does not belong in Nancy Reagan's autobiography-not even attributed. See WP:ATT, and the cautions on using sources with a clear bias." Later, "As to the block, yes, I do still believe that between the reverts and BLP issues that it was quite justified. Your continued lack of understanding on that seems to indicate that the concern was justified-surely, you don't honestly believe that the NYT was using "encyclopedic" in the sense of "appropriate source for an encyclopedia"?"
On Seraphimblade's page User continues to claim the block was unjustified. Seraphimblade replies: "Going to repeat this one more time. The block was not incorrect, you were edit-warring over something removed due to a BLP concern. Technically, you were engaged in a disruptive edit war rather than actually breaking 3RR. I'm not going to reblock and unblock you to cross an i rather than dot a t."

3. April 1, 2007 User:Kafziel blocked for "trolling and 3RR on Talk:Afro"

IP Files a 3RR against User:DavidShankBone, who is reverting IP's vandalizing of Talk page comments. User:Kafziel writes to IP: "You have been blocked for a period of 48 hours for your persistent removal of others' comments at Talk:Afro. Thanks for bringing the situation to my attention by filing a 3RR report."
IP files a request for unblock, claiming the Talk page comments it was removing were "personal attacks" (see "other behavior" below).
User:Kurykh declines unblock: "Personal attacks are false and insulting labeling of editors. You fit neither category. Hence, by logical deduction, those were not personal attacks"
IP still claims that it was removing "personal attacks".
User:Jayron32 responds to IP: "The larger issue is not blind adherance to a little policy lik 3RR. By reducing it to that, you obscure the greater issue. The greater issue is that this IP address (see the contribs list) has a long history of vandalism, and such vandalism and the refusal of the user(s) of this IP address to cop to it has frustrated some of the established users. The removal of comments from talk pages is only a single event in a long history of problematic edits. Additionally, removing personal attacks from a talk page does NOT serve any purpose for the attackee. Ideally, if the comments ARE personal attacks, the attackee would want the evidence to remain in plain sight to justify their accusations of personal attacks. If the attacks are removed, it is difficult to build a case against the accused attacker. In short, leave attacks public. If they are truly personal attacks, the only person they can embarass is the one who left them."
IP denies that it is disruptively editing, again.
User:Jayron32 replies no obscene vandalism, but disruptive edits are there: "Reply to above. OK. I did a review, and despite multiple blocks, I see no outright examples of vandalism. I am making an unqualified apology for leveling such an accusation. With regard to the rest, it appears I stand no chance of convincing you of the reasons of why your behavior has drawn the ire of many others. By constantly trying to divert the issue to 3RR, by trying to refuse to confront your own behavior, and by trying to imply that others bad behavior somehow excuses yours shows me that you will never be convinced that you can be incivil without actually breaking any other wikipedia policy. I consider the matter closed from my perspective."

4. April 7, 2007 User:Kafziel blocked for "content removal and removal of others' comments from talk pages"

Kafziel: "You have been blocked for a period of one week for your disruptive edits. Being bold does not include being reckless, and removal of talk page comments and article content is vandalism. Unsourced statements in articles should be marked with a {{fact}} tag, not removed without discussion. The only exception to this is articles on living people. And removal of others' talk page comments, as you did here, is always vandalism and will not be tolerated."
IP denies this was vandalism and in reality was a "mediawiki hiccup", despite well-established pattern of just thi sort of behavior. Requests an unblock.
User:HighinBC, reviewing the one edit, unblocks. "Please be careful when editing other peoples pages not to remove other peoples content."

  8. March 15, 2007 - First warning about removing Academy Award win mention on Meryl Streep by User:BaseballDetective
Response by IP: please don't add vandalism warnings when i've made good-faith edits. it is uncivil and is a form of vandalism. we don't need wikipedia littered with "acadademy award nominated" and "academy award winning" in intros. that's an advertisement for the academy awards which is against wiki's no advertising policy --71.112.7.212 talk 17:23, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
9. March 15, 2007 - Warned to stop deleting templates and blank the 1. Meryl Streep, 2. Alfonso Cuarón, 3. Ang Lee, 4. Albert Brooks, 5. Sissy Spacek, 6. Anthony Hopkins, 7. Alan Alda, 8. Rosie Perez 9. Billy Bob Thornton pages by User:BaseballDetective

After multiple page blanking and template removing, BaseballDetective wrote to the IP: "You have been warned. You are persisting. Your IP traces to Seattle, Washington. Please, enough already."
IP Response: "Page blanking? Huh? Where's the diff. please stop harrassing me. If you want to discuss, discuss on the relevant pages."
Baseball Detective reply: "This is all being discussed in an appropriate way. Your behavior as a troll is evident in your actions, your anonymity and your blanking of your page."
  • BLOCKED MARCH 16, 2007
  1. March 26, 2007 - User:Arcayne (referring to IP's vandalism and edit-warring at Nancy Reagan): "AGF doesn't presume stupidity at bad behavior. Provide precise references for ANY statement from the Kitty Kelly book. Please do not use cruft and non-RS stuff in a POV attempt to discredit the BLP, as I will revert it as a violatin of the BLP. I will report you to the appropriate admin the very next time you do. i certainly hope I have made this position crystal clear."
  2. March 27, 2007 - User:DavidShankBone (re: vandalizing at Afro): For some reason you seem to think you are an authority on Afros. Please take your issue with the photograph to the Talk page instead of continually reverting; several editors find the photograph representative of an Afro, and as the person who took the photo, I can confirm it was an afro. Not all afros form a "halo/cloud" as you contend. If you have a better photo, then use it. If you continually revert, I will ask for other intervention. Looking at your Talk page, there are better ways to edit on Wikipedia than the way you are going about it. We are here to collaborate, not to impose our views. Thanks

DavidShankBone talk page trolling

Other trolling of DavidShankBone

Laughter

The current lead photograph on Laughter is destined to be deleted based on its licensing and discussion of the license here at the Commons. The Commons has come to the decision to delete all these Sxc licensed photographs by July 1, 2007. I took a photograph of me tickling my nephew for the page. The image that is to be deleted has proven to be popular (something I raised at the Commons). I attempted to raise this issue on the Talk:Laughter page. The following comments were supplied by the IP:

  • May 23 - i don't much like the photo of the "child laughing uproariously". he looks like there might be something really wrong with him, or that he is being forced into the photograph. child abuse? 71.112.142.5 05:44, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
  • I responded: It's a kid being tickled by the photographer, who has one hand on a large DSLR camera. What more can say laughter? It's clearly not a look of horror or upset, but playful laughter. Given the amount of room behind him, he's free to run away and it's doubtful one mhand would be able to keep the kid from running, especially as the others maneuvers with a large camera. It's simply a child being tickled and laughing. --David Shankbone 14:34, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
  • The IP responded: "there are other hands in the picture, you have to look closely. it isn't just the kid and the tickling hand. i don't know what the third person is doing but they might be restraining the boy. zoom in on the face and you'll see what looks liek someone in a lot of pain" [Unsigned]
  • On the main article, the IP and it's German IP friend continually removed the photo and replaced it with the to-be-deleted one:
German IP friend and editing DavidShankBone's images

Another tact was taken in conjunction with the German IP. My Wikipedia User name is in the name of the files, and this IP, despite being told by at least four admins that this is okay, feels this is "self-promotion." This is at the root cause of the attacks on my photography for Wikipedia. The IPs decide to take matters into their own hands and begin editing my photographs to crop them and remove my association with them. They originally removed my name from the licensing, as well (which is against the license). The German IP then went to EVERY national Wikipedia project and replaced my images with their own edited images. This included on:

User:Thuresson cropped the Mary Stuart Masterson photo and I was fine with that - he did it properly, and it looks better. I never reverted, never re-uploaded, etc. However, the IPs above have a trolling agenda specifically to remove my User name from the file names. This has been brough up on the Commons with both Commons admins Dschwen and Siebrand. On Siebrand's page, I brought up the inconsistency in the arguments these IPs raise for replacing the photos:

(unindent)I placed the cropped photos on the pages to alert those pages that these cropped images are available in case the pages want to use them over the full-bodied versions. The Woody Harrelson photo clearly looks better, the Michael Apted photo did not; nor does the Jeffrey Wright photo, although I will do my own work on that. These are the issues despite your protestations:

  1. You claim you were simply trying to improve the images, but every image you cropped was mine. You first started editing on w:Laughter and w:Afro, both pages I edit on, as does your friend, the IP in Washington. You came out of nowhere, raised the exact same arguments, and engaged in the exact same behavior as the Washington State IP.
  2. This inclued, on May 15, adding the ridiculous photo of a kid in a wig to the Afro page. You did this as w:User:84.77.39.62, your first IP.
  3. On May 27 you came back as w:User:84.178.254.52 to put the wig photo back on, despite seeing in the history several editos kept removing it off the w:Afro page. You reverted an editor who was the FOURTH editor (not me) to remove the ridiculous photo of the kid in the wig. You didn't revert me. On the Talk page it is clear there is only consensus by vandalizing IPs to remove my photo good photograph of a woman with a natural Afro, not a wig. The only people who don't want this up on the page are you and your vandalizing IP friend in Washington State.
  4. An hour later on May 27 you came back to remove my photo of the natural afro to put a cropped photo of Lauryn Hill who is once again, not wearing an Afro, but a wig.
  5. You say you are trying to improve Wikipedia by getting rid of advertising and far-away shots, yet you somehow cropped the photo of Lauryn Hill to put on the Afro page where your edits were reverted by multiple editors, but NOT on the w:Lauryn Hill page. Your close-up shot is clearly the better...why wouldn't you have taken the old far-away shot down and put your close-up shot there? Perhaps because it's not a David Shankbone photograph.
  6. Also on May 27 you start to edit only photographs of mine, and you replace my photograph on every national Wikipedia where they exist. I suppose to improve them? Maybe...but of course, you didn't actually put the photographs up on any of the national Wikipedias THAT I HAD MISSED, such as the Arabic Wikipedia (don't worry, I've since replaced the photo).
  7. Every edit you have made specifically relates to my work, and even when you have cropped one other photograph, you used it to take off my work, such as the Lauryn Hill in an Afro wig photograph, but didn't even bother to replace it on the Lauryn Hill page. Oh, but you did go to EVERY national Wikipedia Afro page to remove my Afro photo. You didn't do this with every Lauryn Hill page, not even on the Deutsch or English Wikipedias.
