User is making disruptive edits, reverts on Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington - despite warning on his talk he is logging out to use anonymous IP to revert/edit disputed content due to WP:CHALLENGE against his contribs in the article. I suspect visitor may have been involved in similar edits back on 3rd and 4th June, which led to article Protection - IP was of similar Geolocation: IINET.NET.AU and 203.x.x.x. User is making the same type edits, always pushing references to "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland" in each case, now and back in June. Such entries have also been discussed on Wellington's talk page and consensus does not support these edits.  Ma &reg;&copy; usBr iti sh [talk] 02:05, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

The accusation on this page is in "bad faith". — Preceding unsigned comment added by George SJ XXI (talk • contribs) 02:18, August 8, 2011

Check your talk page - you will see it has been handled in good faith and you refused to reply to me regarding your disruptive behaviour. The only "bad faith" was your own ignorance, and unwillingness to follow Wiki policies, I'm afraid.  Ma &reg;&copy; usBr iti sh [talk] 02:31, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Is starting to Wikihound me, anonymously (dynamic IP), by complaining about my edits without good reason.  Ma &reg;&copy; usBr iti sh [talk] 02:30, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

 * While reviewing and declining the named accounts unblock request I saw that he had posted it from, so now that is blocked as well. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:27, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

 * All but three of these IPs are stale. I blocked the master for 3 days for edit warring, and wouldn't you know it, the autoblock kicked in for one of the IPs. Anyway, I've blocked the three nonstale IPs for two weeks each. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 02:41, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

 * I mean yeah, this is most certainly George. There's not really any actual _abuse_ from the IP here, though - it just seems like he forgot to log in. I've left the master a warning for now. Relist if necessary. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 13:12, 21 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment - Definitely George. His contribution history indicates he was logged in with his own username to make two edits to Talk:Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (07:12) then edited his own talk page (07:15) then logged out and back in with the Sock puppet to edit his entry on the 'Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington' talk page (07:26), followed by editing his own talk page (07:41). That seems to be deliberate action:-

Arthur Wellesley talk page edits:
 * 07:26, 21 August 2011 203.173.31.97 (→Wellington was an Irishman.)
 * 07:12, 21 August 2011 George SJ XXI (→Wellington was an Irishman.)
 * 06:08, 21 August 2011 George SJ XXI ((→Wellington was an Irishman.: new section)

George SJ XXI Talk page edits:
 * 12:40, 21 August 2011 George SJ XXI (moved User talk:George SJ XXI to User talk:George SJ XXI/Archive: Archive)
 * 07:41, 21 August 2011 203.173.31.97 (→Contributions: Please do not make comments on this note.)
 * 07:15, 21 August 2011 George SJ XXI (→Contributions: Please do not make comments on this note.)
 * 06:12, 21 August 2011 George SJ XXI
 * 05:40, 21 August 2011 George SJ XXI
 * 05:35, 21 August 2011 George SJ XXI
 * 03:39, 21 August 2011 George SJ XXI (→here we go again

Then after logging back in with his main user name he attempted to archive his own talk page (12:40) despite having just made a reply (03:39) to a previous message by Beeblebrox. That archiving went wrong and I have now reverted it to it's original format as requested by the user. Richard Harvey (talk) 14:18, 21 August 2011 (UTC)


 * But look at the actual content of the edits. In both cases, the IP amended a comment that had been previously made by George SJ. It's not like the IP was votestacking or something (e.g. "I agree with George and think...") - he was just making minor edits. That indicates to me that he forgot he was logged out or something. Sure I'm assuming good faith on this, but there really isn't any justification to "block this new anon IP and issue a further and longer block to his main username for persistent abuse of multiple accounts". SPI isn't the place to settle content disputes. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 14:32, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
