After a relatively inexperienced editor (c. 300 edits), User:Mrbrklyn, began posting what appears to be violative content (WP:RS, WP:SYNTH, WP:SOAPBOXING, WP:TONE) at American Flagg! on Jan. 6 and was reverted, he began reinserting that contentious content ("Literary Themes") without discussion. (Article history: .)

On Jan 9., after I began talk-page discussion, the IP 96.57.23.83 — who has been here only since November, with very few edits — again reinserted the contentious edit and responded in what appears to be the voice of Mrbrklyn in an edit-summary here. As well, another IP who has only been here since November, 173.52.38.97, appeared to be responding for Mrbrklyn at Talk:American Flagg!.

I'm less certain about 166.84.1.2, but that IP's most recents are to this article and to Dan Fishback — same as 173.52.38.97, per their article histories. This might be coincidental, but given the confluence of all three, I think it may not be. Tenebrae (talk) 18:26, 9 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Also, just now, 173.52.38.97 made an edit here that is highly similar, with some verbatim overlap, as did 96.57.23.83 here. -- Tenebrae (talk) 18:33, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

My IP address is 96.57.23.83 and 96.57.23.82. It is a static IP address. I also happen to share that address with 6 kids, and much of NYLXS. I have no knowledge of any other IP addresses. Occasionally I don't log in, but that is hardly being a sock puppet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrbrklyn (talk • contribs) 04:09, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

 * I don't see a reason to run a CU, but those IPs are obviously them. I semied the page and blocked the main account for a week -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  04:08, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

The same day User:Mrbrklyn was blocked, Gaming boy II created an account and began making similar edits. In particular, his edit here has telltale signs including capping the first letters of words in a subhead, posting a talk-page comment at the top of the page rather than chronologically at the bottom, and at least two more I don't want to state here so as not to give him advice on hiding his sock-puppetry. (I'd be glad to give them to an admin emailing my account.) Tenebrae (talk) 01:52, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

After his first four socks were blocked, and then two more (User:Panix comics and 173.52.38.97) (See: Sockpuppet investigations/Mrbrklyn/Archive), this hostile, combative editor today appended an insult to Panix comics' post on my talk page, and reverted to an edit made by his sock 173.52.38.97. He then used 24.46.160.117 and 47.21.43.226 to make that same edit here and here. He doesn't seem as if he will stop. Tenebrae (talk) 22:47, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
