195.82.106.244


Long-term edit war at, now listed for consideration at WP:RFAR. Mostly carried on by the IP editor, who started the article a year ago and has maintained a stable IP and interest in the article. Brahmakumaris.info has, among other things, posted 195's preferred version of the article at an alternate title. Somewhere there is a diff in which 195 posts an e-mail allegedly sent to User:Riveros11 banning him from the brahmakumaris.info web site, which pretty much sews it up, but confirmation would help the arbitration case.

User:TalkAbout's first 100 edits were to Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University and he periodically returns to it, but he seems to have a broader interest in cults in general and in other topics. Given the request for arbitration, it would be useful to know if TalkAbout was a "good persona" maintained by the 195 editor so he could separate his BKWS-related edits. However this suspicion may not rise to the level of a check. (TalkAbout did edit the article while it was sprotected, reinstating large blocks of disputed text .)

❌. I can find no evidence of any user using 195.82.106.244 (caveat: One account with only one edit to a page completely unrelated to this issue). I can find no connection between brahmakumaris.info and the 195 IP, though brahmakumaris.info does have a new account (not revealing it at this time, will do so if the Arbitration Committee requests). TalkAbout is editing from a completely different hemisphere. Essjay  ( Talk )  22:31, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Here you are. Thanks! Differentials:

     (note that both users in question do not delete each others work but rather complement it)  (User Brahmakumaris.info took away the sprotect tag placed by admin. In this way user 195.82.106.244 could post)  (brhmakumais.info moved pages to a new page, however here: Note November 15th changes and here user 195.82.106.244 activity on the same day.) link to versions: 72.91.169.22 20:58, 21 November 2006 (UTC) AVYAKT7

 * . Please read the policy I linked, Disruptive behavior is not the same as abusive sockpuppetry, and this is not WP:DR or WP:ANI. Those appear to be what you are looking for, since you haven't offered clear evidence of a prihibited use of a sockpuppet. Dmcdevit·t 07:26, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
