69.20.127.250 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log), who says she is the subject of the article Suzanne Shell, says she is being followed and harrassed by the holder of the account Wisemanstudios (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log) in this edit [50] (to the main article page!). Wisemanstudios was warned and blocked for revert-warring and linkspamming in that article a day or two ago, trying to add a link hostile to the article subject to that same article. 69.20.127.250 has apparently gone and directly confronted Wisemanstudios directly on his talk page. Personal attacks are flying, and I have a feeling legal threats are right around the corner. Can a sysop or someone else entitled to the power of the banning bat take this one over? --Dynaflow babble 10:31, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

The can of worms seems to be opening: User talk:Wisemanstudios#Wisemanstudios is using Wiki to stalk Suzanne Shell. They're probably both going to end up needing to be indef blocked before this is over. [EDIT:] I spoke too soon. These are different users attacking Wisemanstudios on Suzanne Shell's behalf: Dsshell (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log) and 65.185.137.147 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log). Hmmmm... --Dynaflow babble 11:07, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Semi-off-topic, but User:Wisemanstudios should probably be blocked under WP:U, since it probably qualifies as a promotional username (referring to Wiseman Music Studios). -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 15:28, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

I reported that username to WP:UAA when I warned him for linkspamming. I assume the admin who reviewed it didn't think warranted blocking on WP:U grounds. --Dynaflow babble 18:28, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Ms. Shell has denied editing her own article, and there is an IP claiming to be her: 69.20.127.250. I suspect the latter to be User:Wisemanstudios, given the edit here (read the very last sentence). 65.185.137.147 is claiming to be an associate of Suzanne here. This is turning into a mess...

Also see Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Dsshell. Veinor ^{(talk to me)} 16:45, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

That's what I get for skimming. Going by timestamps, it looks like user Dsshell left a complaint at at Wisemanstudios, and then somebody who might be someone's IP sockpuppet copy-and-pasted the complaint, verbatim, into the article, with the added line at the end about attacking 15 year olds. The other IP left a message on its talk page for Venior [51] saying that vandalism to article KPNX is the work of Wiseman studios. The first IP has a lot of vandalizing edits to that article. --Dynaflow babble 17:34, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

From the checkuser case: Confirmed. Wisemanstudios = 66.233.207.183. Voice-of-All 17:53, 10 May 2007 (UTC) . . . so who the hell is 69.20.127.250? The IP matched with Wiseman studios was doing things like this: [52], which seems to be in character, but that doesn't explain what's up with the other IP. --Dynaflow babble 18:08, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

That IP was autoblocked eventually as being used by Wiseman: see this. Which presents another conundrum: how was that IP able to edit another IP's talk page and other edits while Wisemanstudios was supposedly blocked (originally on 22:50 May 9)?I am stupid, nowhere does the autoblock say it was that IP. I must be going quackers. Veinor ^{(talk to me)} 19:08, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

69.20.127.250 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log) just contacted me at my userpage to express his suspicions about who 69.20.127.250 is -- and then apparently realized his mistake: [53] and then [54]. As Homer Simpson would say, "Doh!" That IP has just pretty much admitted it's an impersonator, and we can presume it's also a sock. Block with prejudice. --Dynaflow babble 19:58, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Yup: quacks like a sock. --Dynaflow babble 20:10, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Should this thread be copy-pasted to the Talk page of the article in question so, in case this happens again, whoever has to handle it won't have to start from scratch? --Dynaflow babble 21:04, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you all for helping Suzanne like this. I have been 65.185.137.147 in this matter beforehand. I have finally created my own login account as MMHen-I had never tried using Wikipedia to a large extent like this before-this was my first foray into this encyclopedic world, and it was to help Suzanne! This guy has been a thorn in our sides for going on two years-there are more than just us he has attacked.MMHen 21:14, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
