CU is required to see if a rangeblock is feasible. This user is obviously able to evade bans, lets see if we can stop them in their tracks.— Dæ dαlus Contribs 01:34, 1 September 2009 (UTC) reply

Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments

The request for a rangeblock was prescient, as there are apparently quite a few hidden issues: sleepers, IP edits, sneaky socking, etc. The three accounts to date were on one IP, but the other activity appears to be on other IPs too.

I'll provisionally take a few steps until it's sorted out - I can't be sure what range is involved for this guy's editing so for a week it'll be the range from which all activity seems to be happening, and a number of accounts that look highly suspect will get blocked. This case might need wider Checkuser review. FT2 ( Talk |  email) 04:25, 1 September 2009 (UTC) reply

Update

The following are  Confirmed as the same person:

Brucejenner is also the editor behind the following IP accounts (behaviorally and with CU, crosschecked with Nathan) and possibly others:

The following are a concern, they need extra checking:

There may well be other sleepers and IPs. A suitable hard block would probably be worthwhile. I'll look into this shortly.

FT2 ( Talk |  email) 05:25, 1 September 2009 (UTC) reply

Current status

There were two active IPs identified in a 152.x.x.x range and multiple IPs from a 68.127.x.x range. The former are individually blocked, the latter are under discussion by checkusers for best handling, and temporarily range blocked. The sock user is prolific and may use other IPs. The blocks and ranges may need to be expanded if so. For now though, checkuser work is done.

There is cleanup. The edits by the above accounts will need careful review (there's vandalism) and some queries remain as listed.

Suspected sockpuppets


Evidence submitted by Ctjf83

User:Jstanierm had stopped editing for 2 years between December 6, 2007 and January 27, 2010. User:OscarMilde account was created 4 days later on January 31, 2010. Before the 2 year break, Jstanierm had 0 edits to articles related to LGBT issues. Upon returning, Jstanierm has several anti-LGBT edits, and OscarMilde has all but a few eidts to anti-LGBT material. I reverted this. Jstanierm reverted me with what I believe is a source that violates WP:NPOV. After Jstanierm reverted again, and I reverted again as a NPOV source, OscarMilde reverted me apparently saying the article is currently pro gay marriage, so this was warranted. CTJF83 chat 22:14, 7 February 2010 (UTC) reply

Evidence submitted by Phoenix_of9

OscarMilde seems like a SPA [1]. Edit wars in Same-sex marriage just like Jstanierm. Both got blocked [2] [3]. OscarMilde reverts to Jstanierm in Same-sex marriage [4] Phoenix of9 06:55, 8 February 2010 (UTC) reply

Comments by accused parties

See Defending yourself against claims.

I am not a sockpuppet. You may notice a difference in editting style between Oscar and I. I have contributed much to talk page discussions, and I don't believe I've ever added anything without citations. On the articles in question I have only added law review article citations or referred to a sel published UCLA law professor's blog.

It's not impossible that while ctjf83 and I were edit warring on a contentious issue such as same sex marriage that there would be single purpose accounts or ip users popping in and out.

I just want to note briefly that I feel this accusation is just a part of what has been ongoing debate and edit warring between ctjf83 and myself and is possibly a vengeful attempt to ban me for reporting him and having him blocked for 3rr.

I am not totally familiar with wikipedia policy being a fairly new user but I would encourage an ip check which will easily prove that I am not the same person as Oscar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jstanierm ( talk • contribs) 17:02, 9 February 2010 (UTC) reply

Evidence submitted by Daedalus969

The SSP has a similar editing style, and their communication with users is the same. Both have been uncivil, and both edit war without discussing. This person seems to know more about WP as a newbie might, as with the very first edit they make, they use an edit summary. Not something a new person would usually do in my experience.

The next bit may or may not be all that relevant, but they have both edited very similarly, in that,

An aside to the above is the obvious understanding of a wikilink in their 5th edit(the last one linked( here it is again)). Again, not something a newbie would do.

That's all I have for now.— Dæ dαlus Contribs 07:08, 26 February 2010 (UTC) reply

CU is required as this user usually creates sleeper accounts. If one would simply check the last report, you would see it turned up 30 something accounts. But that aside, this user has a history of socking to insert their POV into articles, mainly about SSM.

User:SmallMentula was just confirmed to be a sockpuppet of Brucejenner. In this edit he states his intent to create a new sock account. Fummundacheese reverted Same-sex marriage to a version of SmallMentula's and added the word "faggot" to another article.

Edit style matches prior Brucejenner CU confirmed socks - adding Homosexual agenda to other pages, other disruptive edits thereof, etc. Admin Bongwarrior indef blocked on a username block, but I believe we need to CU verify if this is Brucejenner and change the block to reflect that if this is him (which I strongly suspect, looking at recent Brucejenner socks and this guy's edit pattern). Also, as Brucejenner has been unusually prolific, it seems to me to be time for an underlying IP or IP range block if this is him again. Georgewilliamherbert ( talk) 02:35, 11 March 2010 (UTC) reply

Yeah, I'll give a third to this one. Its obviously him, see this recently blocked sock, compare language of unblock request, and manner of edits. Also, consider that he pledged to create a new account to continue to dodge the block, I'd like to add a special request for an IP block/IP range block on the IPs he is using, if possible, to shut him down for good. -- Jayron 32 04:59, 29 April 2010 (UTC) reply

Additionally, the style of vandalism from User:Castrobasher differs from the Brucejenner socks, so User:Castrobasher isn't being reported as a Brucejenner sock (rather, this user's screen name is inappropriate and was reported for being so).

This is an outrage. First an outrageous article was put on Wikipedia on Homophobia, attempting to demonize certain persons as having a mental disorder, an irrational fear if they opposed homosexuality. Then I attempted to neutralize the soap box. I argued my case on the talk page extensively. Now that is called trolling, and now an outrageous, false charge of sockpuppetry has been made with Check User, which I guess gives my enemies the right to look at my IP address? Now where is the evidence that justifies this treatment? Is it only that someone in the past objected to the slur word homophobia being discussed without acknowledging that it is a slur word? I came to the talk page this evening to bid farewell for the moment & wish everyone the best, & now this outrage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by EnochBethany ( talk • ( EnochBethany ( talk) 05:20, 15 June 2010 (UTC)) contribs) 05:18, 15 June 2010 (UTC) ( EnochBethany ( talk) 05:20, 15 June 2010 (UTC)) reply

Suspected sockpuppets


Evidence submitted by Daedalus969

71's first edit is to support 82, which was later shown to be DMS as he logged in and posted this, so that issue isn't what this SPI is about. This user appears to be pretending to be two different people, either through use of an anonymity site, or as a meatpuppet of BJ. As to them being BJ, they, and 82 keep claiming that others editing the article have some kind of 'agenda', a rather favorite term of BJ and past socks, and don't seem to want to abandon this claim, instead of discussing the content of the articles, they feel the need to claim others have an agenda, and thus shouldn't be discussing things. It is evidenced that 71 is referring to a Homosexual agenda, as he claims here that 'giving LGBT barnstars shows what an agenda they have(not exact wording)'. As those who have investigated past BJ reports(and as noted above, although not delving into specifics), BJ has a common MO of posting links to 'homosexual agenda' into articles, or claiming such of other editors, in that they would not be able to edit in a neutral manner. They have been told several times to drop the issue, but won't let it go(just like BJ, who will edit war because he think's he is right). To say the least, claiming editors have any kind of agenda is disruptive and draws away from discussing the article content, especially when such a claim just hinges on the giving of barnstars. — Dæ dαlus Contribs 01:40, 15 August 2010 (UTC) reply

I would also like to note that 71 and D/8 never edit at the same time, further demonstrating possible sockpuppetry. CU isn't needed here, only behavioral. D was registered this year, and has mostly only edited 2 large articles: Ejaculation and Marriage, which as anyone who has researched the BJ case would know, is a common article he hits.— Dæ dαlus Contribs 01:43, 15 August 2010 (UTC) reply

Georgewilliamherbert ( talk) 01:57, 15 August 2010 (UTC) reply

I would observe that it's possible they are different ducks, but it certainly seems to be the same quack. The user's reaction to being compared with BJ, first was "Who is that?", and then he started leveling veiled threats that we should be careful of "defamation", which frankly by itself is close to a blockable legal threat. But he came across as someone who's been here awhile, and as such he should be aware of who BJ is (especially as it was mentioned in the paragraph just above the one where he asked that question). ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 01:57, 15 August 2010 (UTC) reply

See Defending yourself against claims.

Well, first off, no one let me know any investigation had been started for several days, until I asked User:Ctjf83 if he/she would desist from accusing me on the talk page of being "brucejenner". At least two users there persist in refering to me DMSBel (Bel as in Belfast) (IP 82.18.164.15) as a troll. When my posts are signed with my IP it is simply because I forgot to sign-in. Now I state for the record (and the talk page will bear this out) that I was trying to reach a consensus on including "between a man and woman" somewhere in the intro to the marriage article, but not insisting on any particular location such as the first sentence. A close review of the discussions on that page (several of which are closed) will show that in first joining the discussion I quoted the OED definition of marriage and said "don't tell me this is just western". I had asked for no change in the article text at that point. I had not edited the marriage article before that, and I have never actually seen any of the controversial edits that brucejenner made, though over the last few days User:Baseball Bugs drew my attention to edit-warring that took place in March 2010 by suspected sock-puppets.

The user with the IP beginning 71 then replied telling me that I was wasting my time, that the "gay lobby" (that IP's words) would not allow it if I was trying to get a recognition in the intro that marriage is most commonly recognised as being between a man and a woman. That IP’s arguing that there was a POV in the article and an agenda to block efforts to remove it, persuaded me he was correct, and a few times in the subsequent discussion I refered to that.

Actually I did not find IP. 71's comment (cited by Daedalus above) supporting at all, I was confused by it and actually thought it was to discourage me seeking to continue the discussion about the OED definition.

We now have a consensus on the wording ("between a man and a woman") within the first sentence in the third paragraph.

I have been met in bad faith by User:Baseball Bugs with regard to other non-controversial changes I suggested to the article. I also made a small change to the order of one of the sections. Not once have I made a change without explaining it on the talk page first – with regard to the current wording of the first sentence of the third paragraph, that change was made by another editor, and there was a consensus for it.

I noted what I thought was a improperly placed comment within the text to prevent changes, stating <!—DO NOT change: it will be reverted!--> placed there some months ago (I don’t know if it was with agreement from other editors) by user User:Ctjf83. User:Maunus and myself had both agreed (on the talk page) that it was not really good practice to put these instructions in the text of the article. And I had said it was open to abuse. User:Baseball Bugs re-inserted this and threatened have me blocked if I removed it again.

There has been a lot of discussion over this and other content in the article, sometimes it gets confusing, but I have sought to be civil as much as I can even when being accussed wrongly, though I acknowledge I have not always been polite.

I have not responded in kind to the last accusation made about me on the talk page(by User:Ctjf83) after a consensus and agreement had been reached, but did send a message to that user asking him/her to stop.

I would also ask those investigaing this matter to consider how (on the marriage discussion page) accusations of POV-pushing and agendas have been allowed to pass unchallenged when made by User:Ctjf83 (against myself and IP.71), while other discussions have been closed and even this investigation started against myself and IP-71 when we made mention of POV-pushing. DMSBel ( talk) 19:15, 20 August 2010 (UTC) reply

May I just clarify a couple of things? First I re-edited my defence above, as I thought I needed to make things clearer, I have done this the same evening as I first posted it and as soon as I became aware of anything that needed to be more clearly explained. I apologise for using signatures. At first I had just typed the usernames in (ie. in this form user:example, but forgot to put [[ ]] to link it). But I thought it might be clearer to others if I cut-pasted the actual signatures - I did not realise there was anything incorrect in doing that.

Also the evidence cited above is inaccurate, I have edited quite a few more articles than ejaculation and marriage. I have not once btw been accused of being "brucejenner" on the ejaculation page.

I would appreciate this investigation be handled as swiftly as possible as I have other things to do. DMSBel ( talk) 22:12, 20 August 2010 (UTC) reply

Like I said on your user page, the signature thing is not a big deal at all, just a friendly notice. CTJF83 chat 02:44, 21 August 2010 (UTC) reply

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
I am (former) user EaglesGolden. All of my posts as EaglesGolden were made from IP - 173.55.9.179. I see on my former User Page (EaglesGolden) a declaration that my user name (EaglesGolden) IS a sockpuppet of "brucejenner". This assertion is totally false.
First, as we see noted above, the correct term is "suspected". EaglesGolden is a "suspected" sockpuppet, etc. Not IS a sockpuppet, etc. This error needs to be corrected. It's like the judgment was made, before the jury even convened.
Second, as to the INVESTIGATION to see whether this suspicion is correct or not, I would point out that there is no IP correlation between my IP (173.55.9.179) and any IP used by ANY sockpuppet associated with brucejenner.
Third, as to the INVESTIGATION to see whether this suspicion is correct or not, after reviewing some of the history of brucejenner sockpuppets, I can see that the behavior patterns of brucejenner sockpuppets differ from the behavior patterns of EaglesGolden (myself) in several key respects.
1. The first activity of myself, as EaglesGolden, was to enter into an extensive discussion on a talk page (John McCain) concerning an edit that I wanted to make. By contrast Brucejenner sockpuppets NEVER began their activity in this manner.
2. After one editor denied the veracity of my request, I stayed around and tried to PERSUADE, and at length. By contrast Brucejenner sockpuppets NEVER entered into such a persuasion effort.
3. As you can see from the contribution history of EaglesGolden (on talk pages), I spent a considerable amount of time explaining my position. Brucejenner sockpuppets never made any effort to stay around and explain the basis for their actions.
4. Brucejenner sockpuppets were notorious for inserting derogatory remarks about homosexuals into articles. I never inserted one derogatory remark about homosexuals in any article.
5. My editing was sincere, based on principle, explained beforehand, and highly targeted, simply to replace the term "gay" with the technically correct term "homosexual" in appropriate places in a short test run.
The record indicates that I have only one thing in common with the individuals who have been identified as brucejenner sockpuppets. I believe the homosexual lifestyle is morally wrong. And I share that view with millions of Americans. Many people who have strong beliefs on this subject will want to make an effort to see the truth expressed in the pages of wikipedia. They will edit out what they see as error, and replace that with truth. And they will do this based on principle. They, and me, cannot ALL be painted with this big black brush stroke which declares them all to be brucejenner sockpuppets.

All of these SP accounts have been vandalizing Same-sex marriage in the United States. Some of them have been blocked as socks of Brucejenner, presumably based on similarity to the user or to other confirmed socks of his; one would assume that the others, which are making largely the same edits, are also socks. While the article is now semiprotected, at this point, a checkuser for the sake of effecting a range block would probably be helpful. Roscelese ( talk ⋅ contribs) 21:53, 8 March 2011 (UTC) reply

  • The following accounts are  Confirmed Brucejenner socks;
  • The following accounts are  Stale but highly likely Brucejenner socks (   Looks like a duck to me );
  • Many of these I'd already blocked myself over the last few months. Normally I wouldn't even bother running a case like this, as they all massively pass the duck test but it's kinda useful to flush out a handful of sleeper socks that may be hanging around. I tend to watch and check/block his socks on a regular basis anyways and there are plenty of accounts that are simply blocked, unmarked. We can't really effect a rangeblock right now, though, for reasons that I don't want to go into. In short; no rangeblock.

Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments

The request for a rangeblock was prescient, as there are apparently quite a few hidden issues: sleepers, IP edits, sneaky socking, etc. The three accounts to date were on one IP, but the other activity appears to be on other IPs too.

I'll provisionally take a few steps until it's sorted out - I can't be sure what range is involved for this guy's editing so for a week it'll be the range from which all activity seems to be happening, and a number of accounts that look highly suspect will get blocked. This case might need wider Checkuser review. FT2 ( Talk |  email) 04:25, 1 September 2009 (UTC) reply

Update

The following are  Confirmed as the same person:

Brucejenner is also the editor behind the following IP accounts (behaviorally and with CU, crosschecked with Nathan) and possibly others:

The following are a concern, they need extra checking:

There may well be other sleepers and IPs. A suitable hard block would probably be worthwhile. I'll look into this shortly.

FT2 ( Talk |  email) 05:25, 1 September 2009 (UTC) reply

Current status

There were two active IPs identified in a 152.x.x.x range and multiple IPs from a 68.127.x.x range. The former are individually blocked, the latter are under discussion by checkusers for best handling, and temporarily range blocked. The sock user is prolific and may use other IPs. The blocks and ranges may need to be expanded if so. For now though, checkuser work is done.

There is cleanup. The edits by the above accounts will need careful review (there's vandalism) and some queries remain as listed.

Evidence submitted by Ctjf83

User:Jstanierm had stopped editing for 2 years between December 6, 2007 and January 27, 2010. User:OscarMilde account was created 4 days later on January 31, 2010. Before the 2 year break, Jstanierm had 0 edits to articles related to LGBT issues. Upon returning, Jstanierm has several anti-LGBT edits, and OscarMilde has all but a few eidts to anti-LGBT material. I reverted this. Jstanierm reverted me with what I believe is a source that violates WP:NPOV. After Jstanierm reverted again, and I reverted again as a NPOV source, OscarMilde reverted me apparently saying the article is currently pro gay marriage, so this was warranted.

Comments by accused parties

See Defending yourself against claims.

I am not a sockpuppet. You may notice a difference in editting style between Oscar and I. I have contributed much to talk page discussions, and I don't believe I've ever added anything without citations. On the articles in question I have only added law review article citations or referred to a sel published UCLA law professor's blog.

It's not impossible that while ctjf83 and I were edit warring on a contentious issue such as same sex marriage that there would be single purpose accounts or ip users popping in and out.

I just want to note briefly that I feel this accusation is just a part of what has been ongoing debate and edit warring between ctjf83 and myself and is possibly a vengeful attempt to ban me for reporting him and having him blocked for 3rr.

I am not totally familiar with wikipedia policy being a fairly new user but I would encourage an ip check which will easily prove that I am not the same person as Oscar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jstanierm ( talk • contribs) 17:02, 9 February 2010 (UTC) reply

Suspected sockpuppets


Evidence submitted by Daedalus969

The SSP has a similar editing style, and their communication with users is the same. Both have been uncivil, and both edit war without discussing. This person seems to know more about WP as a newbie might, as with the very first edit they make, they use an edit summary. Not something a new person would usually do in my experience.

The next bit may or may not be all that relevant, but they have both edited very similarly, in that,

An aside to the above is the obvious understanding of a wikilink in their 5th edit(the last one linked( here it is again)). Again, not something a newbie would do.

That's all I have for now.— Dæ dαlus Contribs 07:08, 26 February 2010 (UTC) reply

CU is required as this user usually creates sleeper accounts. If one would simply check the last report, you would see it turned up 30 something accounts. But that aside, this user has a history of socking to insert their POV into articles, mainly about SSM.

Evidence submitted by LadyofShalott

User:SmallMentula was just confirmed to be a sockpuppet of Brucejenner. In this edit he states his intent to create a new sock account. Fummundacheese reverted Same-sex marriage to a version of SmallMentula's and added the word "faggot" to another article. I have already blocked Fummundacheese as an obvious sock of Brucejenner, but think checkuser to look for other accounts could be useful. Ladyof Shalott 17:42, 27 February 2010 (UTC) reply

Evidence submitted by Georgewilliamherbert

Edit style matches prior Brucejenner CU confirmed socks - adding Homosexual agenda to other pages, other disruptive edits thereof, etc. Admin Bongwarrior indef blocked on a username block, but I believe we need to CU verify if this is Brucejenner and change the block to reflect that if this is him (which I strongly suspect, looking at recent Brucejenner socks and this guy's edit pattern). Also, as Brucejenner has been unusually prolific, it seems to me to be time for an underlying IP or IP range block if this is him again. Georgewilliamherbert ( talk) 02:35, 11 March 2010 (UTC) reply

This is an outrage. First an outrageous article was put on Wikipedia on Homophobia, attempting to demonize certain persons as having a mental disorder, an irrational fear if they opposed homosexuality. Then I attempted to neutralize the soap box. I argued my case on the talk page extensively. Now that is called trolling, and now an outrageous, false charge of sockpuppetry has been made with Check User, which I guess gives my enemies the right to look at my IP address? Now where is the evidence that justifies this treatment? Is it only that someone in the past objected to the slur word homophobia being discussed without acknowledging that it is a slur word? I came to the talk page this evening to bid farewell for the moment & wish everyone the best, & now this outrage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by EnochBethany ( talk • ( EnochBethany ( talk) 05:20, 15 June 2010 (UTC)) contribs) 05:18, 15 June 2010 (UTC) ( EnochBethany ( talk) 05:20, 15 June 2010 (UTC)) reply

Suspected sockpuppets


Evidence submitted by Daedalus969

71's first edit is to support 82, which was later shown to be DMS as he logged in and posted this, so that issue isn't what this SPI is about. This user appears to be pretending to be two different people, either through use of an anonymity site, or as a meatpuppet of BJ. As to them being BJ, they, and 82 keep claiming that others editing the article have some kind of 'agenda', a rather favorite term of BJ and past socks, and don't seem to want to abandon this claim, instead of discussing the content of the articles, they feel the need to claim others have an agenda, and thus shouldn't be discussing things. It is evidenced that 71 is referring to a Homosexual agenda, as he claims here that 'giving LGBT barnstars shows what an agenda they have(not exact wording)'. As those who have investigated past BJ reports(and as noted above, although not delving into specifics), BJ has a common MO of posting links to 'homosexual agenda' into articles, or claiming such of other editors, in that they would not be able to edit in a neutral manner. They have been told several times to drop the issue, but won't let it go(just like BJ, who will edit war because he think's he is right). To say the least, claiming editors have any kind of agenda is disruptive and draws away from discussing the article content, especially when such a claim just hinges on the giving of barnstars. — Dæ dαlus Contribs 01:40, 15 August 2010 (UTC) reply

I would also like to note that 71 and D/8 never edit at the same time, further demonstrating possible sockpuppetry. CU isn't needed here, only behavioral. D was registered this year, and has mostly only edited 2 large articles: Ejaculation and Marriage, which as anyone who has researched the BJ case would know, is a common article he hits.— Dæ dαlus Contribs 01:43, 15 August 2010 (UTC) reply
One's in Belfast, Ireland and one's in Kansas City, MO. They seem far from BJ's usual locations (unless he's moved; I'm not a CU and not 100% sure where he is now, but...). Georgewilliamherbert ( talk) 01:53, 15 August 2010 (UTC) reply

Georgewilliamherbert ( talk) 01:57, 15 August 2010 (UTC) reply
Even if it isn't BJ, it could still be WP:MEAT, in regards to how D/8 and 71 never really appear to edit at the same time, and how 71's first edit is to support D/8.— Dæ dαlus Contribs 02:00, 15 August 2010 (UTC) reply
I would observe that it's possible they are different ducks, but it certainly seems to be the same quack. The user's reaction to being compared with BJ, first was "Who is that?", and then he started leveling veiled threats that we should be careful of "defamation", which frankly by itself is close to a blockable legal threat. But he came across as someone who's been here awhile, and as such he should be aware of who BJ is (especially as it was mentioned in the paragraph just above the one where he asked that question). ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 01:57, 15 August 2010 (UTC) reply

See Defending yourself against claims.

Well, first off, no one let me know any investigation had been started for several days, until I asked User:Ctjf83 if he/she would desist from accusing me on the talk page of being "brucejenner". At least two users there persist in refering to me DMSBel (Bel as in Belfast) (IP 82.18.164.15) as a troll. When my posts are signed with my IP it is simply because I forgot to sign-in. Now I state for the record (and the talk page will bear this out) that I was trying to reach a consensus on including "between a man and woman" somewhere in the intro to the marriage article, but not insisting on any particular location such as the first sentence. A close review of the discussions on that page (several of which are closed) will show that in first joining the discussion I quoted the OED definition of marriage and said "don't tell me this is just western". I had asked for no change in the article text at that point. I had not edited the marriage article before that, and I have never actually seen any of the controversial edits that brucejenner made, though over the last few days User:Baseball Bugs drew my attention to edit-warring that took place in March 2010 by suspected sock-puppets.

The user with the IP beginning 71 then replied telling me that I was wasting my time, that the "gay lobby" (that IP's words) would not allow it if I was trying to get a recognition in the intro that marriage is most commonly recognised as being between a man and a woman. That IP’s arguing that there was a POV in the article and an agenda to block efforts to remove it, persuaded me he was correct, and a few times in the subsequent discussion I refered to that.

Actually I did not find IP. 71's comment (cited by Daedalus above) supporting at all, I was confused by it and actually thought it was to discourage me seeking to continue the discussion about the OED definition.

We now have a consensus on the wording ("between a man and a woman") within the first sentence in the third paragraph.

I have been met in bad faith by User:Baseball Bugs with regard to other non-controversial changes I suggested to the article. I also made a small change to the order of one of the sections. Not once have I made a change without explaining it on the talk page first – with regard to the current wording of the first sentence of the third paragraph, that change was made by another editor, and there was a consensus for it.

I noted what I thought was a improperly placed comment within the text to prevent changes, stating <!—DO NOT change: it will be reverted!--> placed there some months ago (I don’t know if it was with agreement from other editors) by user User:Ctjf83. User:Maunus and myself had both agreed (on the talk page) that it was not really good practice to put these instructions in the text of the article. And I had said it was open to abuse. User:Baseball Bugs re-inserted this and threatened have me blocked if I removed it again.

There has been a lot of discussion over this and other content in the article, sometimes it gets confusing, but I have sought to be civil as much as I can even when being accussed wrongly, though I acknowledge I have not always been polite.

I have not responded in kind to the last accusation made about me on the talk page(by User:Ctjf83) after a consensus and agreement had been reached, but did send a message to that user asking him/her to stop.

I would also ask those investigaing this matter to consider how (on the marriage discussion page) accusations of POV-pushing and agendas have been allowed to pass unchallenged when made by User:Ctjf83 (against myself and IP.71), while other discussions have been closed and even this investigation started against myself and IP-71 when we made mention of POV-pushing. DMSBel ( talk) 19:15, 20 August 2010 (UTC) reply

May I just clarify a couple of things? First I re-edited my defence above, as I thought I needed to make things clearer, I have done this the same evening as I first posted it and as soon as I became aware of anything that needed to be more clearly explained. I apologise for using signatures. At first I had just typed the usernames in (ie. in this form user:example, but forgot to put [[ ]] to link it). But I thought it might be clearer to others if I cut-pasted the actual signatures - I did not realise there was anything incorrect in doing that.

Also the evidence cited above is inaccurate, I have edited quite a few more articles than ejaculation and marriage. I have not once btw been accused of being "brucejenner" on the ejaculation page.

I would appreciate this investigation be handled as swiftly as possible as I have other things to do. DMSBel ( talk) 22:12, 20 August 2010 (UTC) reply

I am (former) user EaglesGolden. All of my posts as EaglesGolden were made from IP - 173.55.9.179. I see on my former User Page (EaglesGolden) a declaration that my user name (EaglesGolden) IS a sockpuppet of "brucejenner". This assertion is totally false.
First, as we see noted above, the correct term is "suspected". EaglesGolden is a "suspected" sockpuppet, etc. Not IS a sockpuppet, etc. This error needs to be corrected. It's like the judgment was made, before the jury even convened.
Second, as to the INVESTIGATION to see whether this suspicion is correct or not, I would point out that there is no IP correlation between my IP (173.55.9.179) and any IP used by ANY sockpuppet associated with brucejenner.
Third, as to the INVESTIGATION to see whether this suspicion is correct or not, after reviewing some of the history of brucejenner sockpuppets, I can see that the behavior patterns of brucejenner sockpuppets differ from the behavior patterns of EaglesGolden (myself) in several key respects.
1. The first activity of myself, as EaglesGolden, was to enter into an extensive discussion on a talk page (John McCain) concerning an edit that I wanted to make. By contrast Brucejenner sockpuppets NEVER began their activity in this manner.
2. After one editor denied the veracity of my request, I stayed around and tried to PERSUADE, and at length. By contrast Brucejenner sockpuppets NEVER entered into such a persuasion effort.
3. As you can see from the contribution history of EaglesGolden (on talk pages), I spent a considerable amount of time explaining my position. Brucejenner sockpuppets never made any effort to stay around and explain the basis for their actions.
4. Brucejenner sockpuppets were notorious for inserting derogatory remarks about homosexuals into articles. I never inserted one derogatory remark about homosexuals in any article.
5. My editing was sincere, based on principle, explained beforehand, and highly targeted, simply to replace the term "gay" with the technically correct term "homosexual" in appropriate places in a short test run.
The record indicates that I have only one thing in common with the individuals who have been identified as brucejenner sockpuppets. I believe the homosexual lifestyle is morally wrong. And I share that view with millions of Americans. Many people who have strong beliefs on this subject will want to make an effort to see the truth expressed in the pages of wikipedia. They will edit out what they see as error, and replace that with truth. And they will do this based on principle. They, and me, cannot ALL be painted with this big black brush stroke which declares them all to be brucejenner sockpuppets.

  •  Confirmed - all of the above. Brucejenner is using a wireless mobile device to create accounts & make one edit at a time. No other socks that I can see of right now - Alison ❤ 22:45, 26 December 2010 (UTC) reply

All of these SP accounts have been vandalizing Same-sex marriage in the United States. Some of them have been blocked as socks of Brucejenner, presumably based on similarity to the user or to other confirmed socks of his; one would assume that the others, which are making largely the same edits, are also socks. While the article is now semiprotected, at this point, a checkuser for the sake of effecting a range block would probably be helpful. Roscelese ( talk ⋅ contribs) 21:53, 8 March 2011 (UTC) reply

  • The following accounts are  Confirmed Brucejenner socks;
  • The following accounts are  Stale but highly likely Brucejenner socks (   Looks like a duck to me );
  • Many of these I'd already blocked myself over the last few months. Normally I wouldn't even bother running a case like this, as they all massively pass the duck test but it's kinda useful to flush out a handful of sleeper socks that may be hanging around. I tend to watch and check/block his socks on a regular basis anyways and there are plenty of accounts that are simply blocked, unmarked. We can't really effect a rangeblock right now, though, for reasons that I don't want to go into. In short; no rangeblock.

Don Lemon and Talk:Anderson Cooper are the only articles edited by either one. All edits re identical claims. There seem to be some IPs being used on the talk page for similar claims. SummerPhD ( talk) 21:28, 17 May 2011 (UTC) reply

There are other untagged socks, but they're already blocked; I see little point giving them the light of day and dragging their unpalatable edits here. A range block is not possible. WilliamH ( talk) 16:09, 4 December 2011 (UTC) reply

Most of these are already blocked, but let's clarify that they're socks and catch any sleepers. They quack loudly as they vandalize pages of gay politicians. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 19:00, 24 January 2013 (UTC) reply
