– This SPI case is closed and will be archived shortly by an SPI clerk or checkuser.

Suspected sockpuppets

The two previous harrassing edits , , are stale, and reported in previous incidents. But this one is recent. Following their indefinite block, this individual has become skilled at drafting expressions of concern that seem meaningful, on the surface.

– A checkuser has declined a request for CheckUser, and the case is now awaiting a behavioural investigation.

Suspected sockpuppets

I am requesting a checkuser because I suspect this individual has other targets. I suspect they do not return here once a week or so to harass me, and then go away. I suspect they were using sockpuppetry to harass other individuals, and may be using multiple IDs now. Geo Swan (talk) 00:21, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

The wikistalker here has mastered leaving edit summaries that give the surface appearance of legitimacy, so long as the reader doesn't actually examine them too closely.

  1. BLP issues are not resolved as per the link provided
  2. Please re read the BLP thread which has numerous admins warning against this edit
  3. BLP Warning

Another anonymous IP 2600:8800:1300:4B4:0:0:0:1001 had excised most of the article, offering only a vague BLP claim in an edit summary. After I opened a thread in BLPN, and no one offered a meaningful defence of their huge excision, I started to restore passages, one at a time.

The passage I re-inserted into the article The text that my vile wikistalker has reverted said: "Golsteyn graduated from the US Army's officer college, West Point Military Academy, in 2006, and was discharged, following an inquiry, in 2015.<ref name=Wapo2015-05-19/>" There is no legitimate BLP concern here.

The vile wikistalker's first edit summary falsely implies that there was an active debate over some kind of BLP violation, at WP:BLPN#Mathew L. Goysteyn. While some contributors voiced a BLP1E concern, no one offered any kind of meaningful defense that the excised material was a genuine lapse from BLP. On December 22, five days after I started the thread, I wrote a comment that ended with My inclination is to go ahead and carefully restore the excised material, if no-one offers a further defense of the excision, in the next day or so.
