195.82.106.244

Long-term edit war at Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), now listed for consideration at WP:RFAR. Mostly carried on by the IP editor, who started the article a year ago and has maintained a stable IP and interest in the article. Brahmakumaris.info has, among other things, posted 195's preferred version of the article at an alternate title [1]. Somewhere there is a diff in which 195 posts an e-mail allegedly sent to User:Riveros11 banning him from the brahmakumaris.info web site, which pretty much sews it up, but confirmation would help the arbitration case.

User:TalkAbout's first 100 edits were to Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University and he periodically returns to it, but he seems to have a broader interest in cults in general and in other topics. Given the request for arbitration, it would be useful to know if TalkAbout was a "good persona" maintained by the 195 editor so he could separate his BKWS-related edits. However this suspicion may not rise to the level of a check. (TalkAbout did edit the article while it was sprotected, reinstating large blocks of disputed text [2].)

Red X Unrelated. I can find no evidence of any user using 195.82.106.244 (caveat: One account with only one edit to a page completely unrelated to this issue). I can find no connection between brahmakumaris.info and the 195 IP, though brahmakumaris.info does have a new account (not revealing it at this time, will do so if the Arbitration Committee requests). TalkAbout is editing from a completely different hemisphere. Essjay (Talk) 22:31, 7 December 2006 (UTC) reply

Fascinating and much appreciated. Thatcher131 22:41, 7 December 2006 (UTC) reply

no Declined. Please read the policy I linked, Disruptive behavior is not the same as abusive sockpuppetry, and this is not WP:DR or WP:ANI. Those appear to be what you are looking for, since you haven't offered clear evidence of a prihibited use of a sockpuppet. Dmcdevit· t 07:26, 24 November 2006 (UTC) reply
