Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

Special:Contributions/Sullivan9211 is engaged in long-term WP:DE and WP:V around college football national championships content.[1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11]

At 00:43, 18 January 2018 Sullivan9211 initiated a welcome Talk discussion to which I replied at 00:49, 18 January 2018.

GeauxCajuns1981 was then (Created on 18 January 2018 at 00:54).

GeauxCajuns1981 replied to the Talk at 01:26, 18 January 2018, with "So in others words [[UW Dawgs]], *my source* is not legit to change the 1984 team status." and signed *Sullivan9211*'s original post as "([[User talk:Sullivan9211|talk]]) 07:25, 17 January 2018 (CST)." They then modified GeauxCajuns1981's post at 01:55, 18 January 2018 with "I have read it and I have sourced *my edit.*"

This is *my emphasis* re GeauxCajuns1981's 4 posts being in Sullivan9211's voice.

So Sullivan9211 is engaged in DE, initiates a Talk, I reply, immediately GeauxCajuns1981 is created, agrees with Sullivan9211 and signs Sullivan9211 edits with "my source," "sourced my edit," and Sullivan9211's name.

Lastly, Special:Contributions/97.73.96.212, a shared HughesNet IP appeared at 00:49, 18 January 2018 to make a single edit on the full article in the same manner as Sullivan9211. No expectation of blocking associated with that HughesNet IP, just behavioral evidence of another method of attribution being used to support Sullivan9211.

Sullivan9211 has repeatedly ignored Talk callouts re WP:DE and WP:NOR to as means to address their desired changes to the underlying content and now may have moved onto WP:SOCK. UW Dawgs (talk) 03:16, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Sullivan9211: This is patently transparent. What do you have to say?--Bbb23 (talk) 13:25, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I admit that I didn't handle this well. When I edited anything related to the Washington Huskies football pages I backed it up with sources from the University of Washington website. But then my edits were changed almost right after. I then read the guidelines on editing and posting sources. I posted the source and an email I received from the Athletic Department of the University of Washington. How much more do I have to go? sullivan9211 (talk) 18:48, 18 January 2018 (CST)
No, Sullivan9211, that's not what I meant. Please confirm that GeauxCajuns1981 is your account. If it is, why did you create it and why do you need it going forward?--Bbb23 (talk) 21:00, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Having received no response to my last question, I've blocked GeauxCajuns1981 based on behavior. No tag, please. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:19, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
