[edit] Cooldc19 (talk contribs)

Believed to be the original username of the Matt Leinart Vandal, with a growing list of socks. I would simply like to make sure that the IPs of users are the same as the anonymous IPs tracing to Georgetown University to provide verification that it's one vandal. T K E 09:33, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Could you provide a list of these anonymous IP addresses, as well as a summary of the situation? We are not in the habit of revealing the IP addresses used by contributors unless there is definate proof of serious policy violation. Essjay TalkContact 21:46, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
The article has been vandalized well over a hundred times with the same claim that Matt Leinart is gay [1]. The only verification that has come from the vandal(s) is a random blog [2], an ambiguous ESPN article [3], and a fake blog news article [4]. The vandalism has been recurring for over two months; the page has been protected at least 4 times because of the vandal. This IP is the most prolific, followed in no order by 141.161.12.151, 141.161.12.65, 141.161.12.188 and 141.161.92.134. Additionally, Comcast Cable IPs have been rotating, usually 68.something or other, or 67. My suspicion is one user editing at school and home. The point of the checkuser is to affirm one vandal, as that would make warnings and admin notices much easier after such long term abuse. I would like to be clear: I am looking for no personal information, simply that the registered users are coming from a similar IP to the ones mentioned. A "Similar" or "Dissimilar" will suffice.
