User:Dev920/Users who have removed mentions of Austin Nichols from Jake Gyllenhaal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This was originally a list of people who have removed any mention of Austin Nichols, a close friend of Jake Gyllenhaal from Jake's article. Since then, I have discovered, as shown below, that this is a single user, removing the same paragraphs, over and over again. Only the edits related to Austin are shown here, but there are others that can be seen going through the article history, relating to Jake's future work, and even the release date of his next film. I hope this can help admins should a ban be needed at any point. The editors below are almost all IP addresses or have contribution lists that consist solely of editing Jake's page. There is a single vandal behind many, if not all, of these addresses, as proved below, who, as of the 22nd July, has removed paragraphs without explanation from the article at least 25 times.

  • 205.188.116.138, at 17:38, 25 June 2006 [1], and at 22:52, 26 June 2006[2]. This IP, as previously, performed the exact same edits here as as was performed by 64.12.116.137 here - this user has been warned, as of this edit, as least five times not to remove information that was agreed by consensus.


  • 152.163.100.73, at 13:14, 25 June 2006[3], at 03:37, 28 June 2006 [4], at 09:48, 29 June 2006[5], at 09:52, 30 June 2006[6], and at 22:38, 30 June 2006 [7]. Note: This user performed the exact same edit here as was performed by 64.12.116.137 here two hours earlier - this is clearly the same AOL user.


  • 65.88.88.162 at 13:36, 22 June 2006 [8], at 15:42, 22 June 2006 [9]. This IP seems to specialise in editing both Jake and Austin's pages. After the semi-protection was lifted from Jake's page, this IP immediately vandalised again at 3:53, 14 July 2006[10]. There was some respite, but on 17:15, 10 August 2006[11], it returned.


  • Spocks brain at 22:42, 17 June 2006 [12], at 22:47, 17 June 2006 [13], at 18:47, 1 July 2006[14], at 19:19, 1 July 2006 [15] and at 12:41, 2 July 2006[16]. This is the same user as the other IP addresses, compare its edit here with 205.188.116.138's edit here. The reason Spocks brain edited on 1 July was because the article had just been semi-protected. Spocks brain was subsequently blocked for 48 hours - shortly after the block expired, she struck again at 14:32, 5 July 2006[17]


  • 64.12.116.137, reverted nine times on 17 June, at 10:49, 23 June 2006 [18], 01:24, 24 June 2006 [19], 11:44, 25 June 2006 [20](This time this IP removed a comment by Jake about kissing Heath in Brokeback Mountain which has been up for months [21]. Note: this IP also removes reference links concerning Jake's relationships generally, such as here, and at 16:39, 22 July 2006[22].

Additionally, my userpage was blanked at 20:54, 17 June 2006[23] by 64.12.116.199, and stevenscollege, a fellow editor at Jake's page, had his page blanked twice at 20:57[24] and 21:15[25], by 64.12.116.71. Given both IPs originate from AOL, I do not find this to be a coincidence.

On 13:19 and 13:20 25 June, 152.163.100.199 blanked all discussion about Austin Nichols from Jake's talkpage[26][27]. This IP is another AOL address.
