 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by CrazyInSane

This user was adding unnecessary and irrelevant information to Christmas controversy, and was using varying IP addresses to circumvent the reversions, here, here and here. I then requested that the page be protected, and this was done for a period of 3 days. So then it appears that this user created a new account, User:Smarterthancrazy, to circumvent the IP address block. The edit with that account is here. Please investigate. &mdash; CIS (talk | stalk) 02:00, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

The accuser may disagree with my opinions, but it is not fair to call them "unnecessary and irrelevant information". I am contributing in good-faith toward improving this article. My wife and I were both using the Elielilamasabachthani username, but realized she should set up her own user account, so she did (smarterthancrazy). This explains the similar IPs. I also made several previous edits without being logged in, so these showed up as only IP edits. I did this by mistake, not realizing I was logged out when I made the edits. I now realize this problem and ensure that I am logged in when I edit. It is important to note that I am not making wild or erratic contributions. These contributions have been supported by other users and I am an expert in biblical scholarship and early Christian history. The "smarterthancrazy" account is not a meatpuppet. My wife has other interests and will make her own contributions to articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elielilamasabachthani (talk • contribs) 11:40, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
