User:81.153.41.72

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is suspected that this user might be a sock puppet or impersonator of RachelBrown. Please refer to contributions for evidence. See block log.

This is the IP address that was used by User:RachelBrown. According to this edit [1] her name was "Lisa, Rachel Brown's flatmate". Whether there is a Lisa or not, or whether it was really Rachel Brown is another matter entirely. This edit [2] by RachelBrown (talk · contribs) compared to this edit [3] by 81.153.41.72 (talk · contribs) (identical wording) suggests one of the following:

• Rachel Brown asked Lisa to edit the page as she was tired of arguing.
• Lisa (in the earlier edit) edited at least once using Rachel Brown's account before logging out so as to avoid confusion.
• Rachel Brown was the same person as Lisa, and there is no flatmate.

There is an allegation that this IP address was also used by 4 other users: Poetlister (talk · contribs), Londoneye (talk · contribs), Taxwoman (talk · contribs) and Newport (talk · contribs), although no evidence has been presented to confirm these claims. However, circumstantial evidence is that they did on at least 1 or 2 occasions all vote on the same AFDs, and Poetlister did on a few occasions edit articles that RachelBrown also edited, and acted in support of her. There is no proof, however, that they are all the same person or that they acted in coordination.
