His contributions originate from the attack blog "antisemitism.org.il" which is the defining feature across a number of pages in this report including Antisemitism in Russia, Antisemitism in the United States, Antisemitism in Ukraine‎ and similar others. logs on and off deliberately in order to circumvent pending WP:3RR sanctions for continuous edit warring.
 * Antisemitism in the United States :
 * 1) User:150.214.94.231 pastes a cryptic message in Spanish to mainspace. It reveals that he is guided in this action by someone else: 5) La última. Entra aqui, borra todo el texto del artículo y copia-pega lo siguiente en su lugar (deja la "Edit summary" tal como está, luego haz click en "save page", muchísimas gracias amigo):
 * 2) User:150.214.94.231 immediately removes the cryptic message, but is reverted by a sysop anyway.
 * 3) Here,  removes link to "antisemitism.org.il" among a barrage of attacks from it.
 * 4) Dan Eisenberg is reverted with no edit summary by  : "antisemitism.org.il" is reinstated.
 * 5) Parts of reverted edit by User:150.214.94.231 is reinstated by User:81.33.78.232 (himself), sans the "Spanish" message reverted by a sysop.
 * 6) Again, Dan Eisenberg's improvements are reverted by
 * 7) Again, Dan Eisenberg is reverted but this time by
 * 8) Bingo! Dan Eisenberg is reverted by  for the first time.
 * 9) The sock system works (!), because Dan Eisenberg is now too threatened to reinstate his changes.
 * 10) User:Dan Eisenberg takes User:ScottyNolan to Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard
 * 11) Evidence against User:N.F.B.R is circumstantial only. Both comments by N.F.B.R have been signed by bot. Clearly a throw-away account which ... "chimes in" and   — Dan Eisenberg (talk • contribs) 00:38, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * In a similar vein ScottyNolan's IP User:150.214.94.231 also adds a comment in talk, which makes further sock puppetry in talk far more likely. —   Poeticbent  talk  01:46, 30 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Antisemitism in Russia
 * 1) User:ScottyNolan brings in heavy artillery from "antisemitism.org.il" Search Country: Russia. All copy-pastes originating from there barely miss WP:COPYVIO. Anyway, the "Sources" are: blogspot and twitter-clones.
 * 2) Right hand, left hand coin magic again. ScottyNolan logs off to correct his English.
 * Iran–Israel relations
 * 1) First revert by User:79.178.187.220
 * 2) Second revert by User:81.35.72.4
 * 3) Third revert by User:81.35.72.4 []
 * Antisemitism in Ukraine
 * 1) Continuous "twitter" feeds from "antisemitism.org.il" for the last two years.
 * 2) This is the only place where he's not being reverted while removing data. Wonder why?   Poeticbent  talk  02:48, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Thanks for all the hard work on the part of the editor who reported this. I have contemplated whether I might be battling sock puppets in some of my recent edits, especially since N.F.B.R is a brand new account and has a similar tone as ScottyNolan--and other IPs have been involved. Looks like IPs all on the page I am involved in all originate in Spain--mostly Madrid. Dan Eisenberg (talk) 03:17, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
 * In response to the admin: N.F.B.R is a new account with only two edits--both on the talk page of Antisemitism in the United States and . They have a similar tone and interest to the putative master account and believe fit with the more general pattern which is being pointed out. On the other hand, N.F.B.R does not sign their post while ScottyNolan does. - Dan Eisenberg (talk) 23:59, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

 * - I don't see any diffs or other evidence connecting N.F.B.R to the master.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  23:17, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
 * IPs probably belong to the same person (maybe N.F.B.R) but are all stale. I see no hard evidence connecting this person to ScottyNolan. Just some reverts, but that is not strong enough evidence to block him. Closing the case.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  00:52, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
