 * Sorry, I'm not really seeing it. Can you provide evidence (i.e. diffs) in edits made by Bridgette and Nukeh/Doug youvan? —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 04:23, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Er, okay. Eight days later and no edits from the suspected sock, so I'm closing this. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 18:36, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Bridgettttttte (c.q. 24.255.133.196) started the article on Douglas Youvan, who first used the user name Nukeh (indef blocked) here, and later on Doug youvan and MsTopeka (c.q. 68.103.31.116), see the previous cases. Bridgettttttte main focus is on the mentioned article. Like Nukeh, Bridgettttttte also edits on topics related to biophysics, religion and evolution, and includes the same type of original research. The evidence as I see it is listed in the diffs below:


 * Correspondence of user Bridgettttttte and IP 24.255.133.196, see contributions on Talk:Combustion : by 24.255.133.196 and by Bridgettttttte
 * Similar contributions of Nukeh, 68.103.31.116 (MsTopeka) and 24.255.133.196 (Bridgettttttte) on Talk:John M. Deutch : by Nukeh, by 68.103.31.116 and by 24.255.133.196 (see also this diff on Nukeh's user page)
 * Interests in Robert McNamara : by Nukeh and by Bridgettttttte
 * Reactions ("defamation of character") with respect to accusations: by Nukeh, by MsTopeka and by Bridgettttttte
 * Using the "I"-form in material also attributed to Douglas Youvan (1st postulate) : and
 * Addition of OR Mathematica code to articles and user (talk) pages: by Nukeh, by Bridgettttttte and by Bridgettttttte
 * Interests of Nukeh and Bridgettttttte on advices with respect to raising funds for Wikipedia : by Nukeh, by MsTopeka and by Bridgettttttte
 * Use of biblical references (incl. sentence numbering) : by Bridgettttttte and by Nukeh
 * Bridgettttttte promoting blogs by Doug Youvan on Talk:Paul Davies : and  (see also this diff to Nukeh's user page)
 * Bridgettttttte promoting OR and web site of Doug Youvan on Talk:Antibacterial :
 * (24.255.133.196) Bridgettttttte and Doug Youvan promoting his self-published book Pseudocolor in Pure and Applied Mathematics : by Doug Youvan, by 24.255.133.196 and by Bridgettttttte
 * Inclusion of original research in Douglas Youvan : by Bridgettttttte, by Bridgettttttte and by 24.255.133.196 Crowsnest (talk) 23:07, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

I have been off for a couple weeks, logged on, and found this case. More disappointment having dug through Youvan's work (my first article) to find this: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Douglas_Youvan&action=historysubmit&diff=402829601&oldid=397178493.

Why oh why do some of your editors show such an anti-Christian POV? I do live in the same part of the USA as Youvan, so what is the evidence against me? For that deleted materail, shown above, I was planning on working on better references.

What next? Can I still edit? Bridgettttttte babblepoop 04:55, 29 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Note this reaction is with respect to Sockpuppet investigations/Nukeh/Archive, not on the above 7 January material. -- Crowsnest (talk) 17:11, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Bridgettttttte asked to vanish (see contributions on 3 Jan) but has returned to editing Douglas Youvan as ; from the talk page remark this seems to be only a last tidy-up and not intended to deceive, but if continued user may have to be reminded that the right to vanish does not include continuing to edit the same articles as an IP.

I believe this biophysicist is a living person, and while his name has been used as a username (a rather unique name) there is no Conclusive evidence that he has ever edited on Wikipedia. I would suggest that policy be changed on allowing any editor to use a real name. Anyone could take on the name of a living person and edit, write the named person's biography, become disruptive and cause a real name to be associated with unwanted behavior. A reader running into such a mess might then attribute writing to the actual person. While the intensions of the editor calling the puppet case might be well intended, he ends up defaming a living person. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.82.64.16 (talk) 02:55, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Bridgettttttte asked to vanish and hasn't edited since then; the IP hasn't edited from there either. I'm closing this for now with no action, but relist should either account become active again. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 14:47, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Repeated edits proclaiming the brilliance of Douglas Youvan; fierce attacks and assertions that a "notability" tag constitutes libel; removal of "notability" tag from Youvan article, ad hominem attacks on other editors for questioning the wonderfulness of Douglas Youvan.

From the contributions, this appears to be a static IP. This edit from it is signed "Doug Youvan". Earlier in this case it was noted (see Sockpuppet investigations/Nukeh/Archive that user, who had asked to vanish, had returned to edit from this IP; the matter was dropped then, because it all went quiet for a time.
