User changed information already sourced and documented, relying on information that was once in dispute without reading the full account presented on Talk page of article. IP addresses that the user edited under include 194.125.109.86 (edits to article made here and here) and 194.125.39.70 made same change a day earlier. Both IP addresses appear to be new on Wikipedia, with 194.125.39.70 editing the James Brown and one other, while the contribution of 194.125.109.86 is to only to the James Brown article. Since this article had been ultimately vandalized by IP users in the past and to maintain integrity of the article, I wanted head off instances of edit warring and other disruptions over these types of edits.

I am the person complained off. The edits made were all done by me from a laptop at home. I can only think that in some situations I jumped from my home broadband connection to a neighbouring open wi-fi connection. I have not tried to edit using two different IP addresses. I also disagree with the characterisation of the debate on James Brown's age. In all circumstances I have edited in a bona-fide matter. The person who has reported me has also implicitly accepted that the talk page is confusing because they have posted a note on that page under the first discussion on James Brown's age. The idea that a family obit is more reliable than published sources and court records from later on in his life is not persuassive and I do not feel that the debate should be seen as one that was once in dispute. I was unaware that I had been accussed of being a sock puppet and only found this page by chance. --194.125.109.86 07:58, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

 * If what you say is the case, my apologies for the misunderstanding. I will first wait until the 10-day period has passed and, if no determination has been made, I'll withdraw the complaint and remove the notice. In the alternate, since the person explain his/her intentions and since I've recommended that the person create an account so prevent future misunderstandings, I'll withdraw my complaint before the 10-day period has passed if all is good with the gentleman/lady. lwalt 09:46, 19 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Conclusions

Follow-up: Had conversation with user after user posted response. Please close case and withdraw complaint at this time, since both user and I have established an understanding about the matter.  → Lwalt  (talk  &bull;  contribs)  10:29, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
