30 November 2014
– An SPI clerk has declined a request for CheckUser, and the case is now awaiting a behavioural investigation.
- Suspected sockpuppets
- EChastain (talk · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
- User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
- Editor interaction utility
- User meets the duck test as second edit was to blue link their user page
- First 12 edits were to achieve autoconfirmed status and waited approx 9 days
- 13th edit was to a semi-protected page
- 13th edit was to pursue disputes with User:Lightbreather and User:Carolmooredc which the user has not encountered on this account before that point. Sue Rangell was in disputes with these two editors over gun control.
- EChastain claims to have a doctorate in psychology, Sue Rangell claims to be a sociologist.
- Sue Rangell stopped editing 14 August 2014. If EChatain is a clean start then it fails WP:Clean start: "It is expected that the new account will be a true "fresh start", will edit in new areas and avoid old disputes, and will follow community norms of behavior." v/r - TP 20:28, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
- @Rschen7754: Well that's disappointing, I had hoped that August was recent enough for a checkuser. User:Carolmooredc and User:Lightbreather have more evidence to add on the subject, perhaps that'll be enough to make this decision on behavioral evidence alone.--v/r - TP 20:55, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
- Per Hell in a Bucket's insistence that I find the exact edits, here are all the ones dealing with Carolmooredc and Lightbreather - I hope this settles the matter as there were plenty and easy to find: . There are more, but I think I made my point.--v/r - TP 02:00, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

User:Carolmooredc and User:Lightbreather have more evidence to add on the subject, perhaps that'll be enough to make this decision on behavioral evidence alone.--v/r - TP 20:55, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
- Response to @TParis: None of these edits were to Lightbreather. Most were helpful points to Carolmooredc, giving her various links to relevant pages of the WikiProjects/Guide pages, and even to a question Carolmooredc had asked about "disruptive editors" and answered by a project member. These links she later incorporated into GGTF project page and used in her comments in the arbcom. (Also, number of edits is a raw count, including correcting typos and formatting, adding to same comment, etc.) EChastain (talk) 01:47, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
- Please my post on TParis's talk explaining every post he listed in his diffs given above "Per Hell in a Bucket's insistence that I find the exact edits, here are all the ones dealing with Carolmooredc and Lightbreather - I hope this settles the matter as there were plenty and easy to find:" - I repeat not one had to do with Lightbreather. EChastain (talk) 23:12, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
Comments by other users
seems like it's all in order.. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 20:41, 30 November 2014 (UTC) Editor has explicitly stated they are not a new editor , so "duck test" evidenced that it's not a new user is meaningless. NE Ent 22:11, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
Uninvolved administrators and checkusers know what WP:Clean start says, they don't need anyone Wikilawyering it disruptively.--v/r - TP 01:55, 1 December 2014 (UTC) |

- For the record I disagree with the hatting and summary as this was a policy related discussion relevant to this investigation and in no way was it disruptive other then it questioned the basis of the hatting admin qualification of the SPI reasons. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 02:02, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
Evidence posted by Lightbreather on her talk (now hatted) and EChastain's responses
I posted this on Lightbreather's talk, responding to her "behavioural evidence" that I'm a sock. She did not respond and it is hatted there with comment To be decided here so I'll copy/paste it here with my responses.
(Lightbreather): Considering EChastain's:
- Response My registration date: 20:23:09 12/10/2014. That's before you announced you were quitting. (Was I psychic?)
- Response How is a doctorate in Psychology evidence that I'm a sockpuppet?
- Early interest in the GGTF ArbCom (a case in which I presented evidence);
- Response - how may editors were interested earlier than me?
- Editing Robert Spitzer (one of nine consecutive edits) 11 days into her WP history;
- Response - so what? What does that have to do with you?
- Added response - Lightbreather is confusing Robert Spitzer (psychiatrist) with another Robert Spitzer. Both Sue Rangell and Lightbreather extensively edited Robert Spitzer (political scientist). (Lightbreather has the most edits at 128, while Sue Rangell has 92, the second most edits of that article.) I edited Robert Spitzer (psychiatrist).
- Response - so what? What does that have to do with you?
- Comments at the GGTF ArbCom talk pages directed at me; ("massive freaking out"), ("massively disruptive")
- Response Those comments were not directed at you, as I explained to you each time you posted on my talk.
- Response "push a POV" and "drop in the ocean" in a response to a post of yours on my talk - how is that evidence I'm a sockpuppet?
- Timing and style of her recent comments/edits on my talk page (She had never before edited my talk page);
- Response - I posted to urge you just to address the reason for your unblock request, and not post other stuff, as the best way to get unblocked. I made a couple of added helpful hints, but then reversed myself twice when I saw you had already made the request. So that shows ... what? So trying to help you is bad? And makes me a sockpuppet?
Please explain how these relate. EChastain (talk) 00:11, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
Also, Lightbreather posted six times on my talk on 25 November and 26 November. If you look at my actual edits to her on my talk and to her on her talk, you'll see that they were attempts to be helpful. Plus copy editing typos, and two "undo"s after I realized she had already posted her unblock request. EChastain (talk) 01:32, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
- Additional comments in response to Lightbreather's added evidence that I'm a sockpuppet
- Lightbreather has added that both Sue Rangell and EChastain have insisted other editors not post on her talkpage as evidence that I'm a sockpuppet:
- 8. Insisting that other editors not post on her talk page (Details below)
- I did request EvergreenFir to not post on my talk page, for the reasons given here (Between 26 October 2014 and 1 December 2014, EvergreenFir posted 12 times, including one Warning that I may be blocked for reverting her revert, telling me to read WP:RS, WP:LEAD, BRD, WP:IDHT, WP:REFACTOR, WP:INDENT until Knowledgekid87 intervened and recommended she read WP:CIVIL. Her next post told me to read WP:FORUM, followed by a post with WP:HOUNDING, accusing me of following her to places I've not edited before but where she's already edited. Since I in no way singled her out and joined discussions on multiple pages or topics she may edit or multiple debates where she contributes in order to repeatedly confront or inhibit her work - or followed her from place to place on wikipedia, I asked her to please stop posting on my page.)
- Lightbreather has added as evidence that I'm a sockpuppet because I used "sigh" in an edit summary:
- 9. Use of "sigh" in edit summaries (Evidence below)
- Evidence below: Both Sue Rangell and EChastain use "sigh" in edit summaries. (Yes, other editors insert this into comments, but not many that I've encountered.)]
If Lightbreather had looked at the actual diff she would have seen that EvergreenFir was the editor that used "sigh" in her edit summary: (Undid revision 631653253 by EChastain (talk) see talk... sigh...)
I quoted her in my response: (Undid revision 631672793 by EvergreenFir (talk) revert inaccuracy - see talk (sigh) - I've left a link to the article so you can read it for yourself). I've never used "sigh" in an edit summary, other than that quote of EvergreeFir's "sigh" as noted. EChastain (talk) 23:02, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
- ^That is correct. I was the one to use "sigh". EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 23:19, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
- Evidence below: Both Sue Rangell and EChastain use "sigh" in edit summaries. (Yes, other editors insert this into comments, but not many that I've encountered.)]
- 9. Use of "sigh" in edit summaries (Evidence below)
- Well I think it is safe to say that this thing is blowing up into a bigger issue with more users being dragged here. The only thing I find a bit odd is the reasoning behind the removal of info-boxes on EChastain's userpage here, other than that I cant really say much else as I only tried to intervene between Evergreen and EChastain. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 01:11, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
Evidence
Part of the overlap was Robert Spitzer, at least for me and then I took a second look Sue edited ] a political scientist of the same name as ] a psychiatrist edited by the newer account. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 23:35, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
- ] Comment was to Neotarf not Carolmnooredc or LB.
- 38 edits to Proposed decision]
- 3 edits on one post at ] GGTF ARB EVIDENCE
- Editor has close to 400 if not slightly more edits total so 41 out of 400 edits doesn't show this as a SPA with the sole intention of misusing a clean start. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 23:53, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
- These are reasonable answers ]
- Carolmooredc states editor is not Sue Rangel ]
- Tparis provides a link above, several actually, that deal with Carolmooredc and not Lightbreather. New Editor has editing nothing in Gun control subject area as well.

- Details, per request of EC2 (as opposed to EC which is used often for Eric Corbett).
2. EChastain's declared background in psychology;
- The first version of Sue Rangell's user page said, "she specializes in the fields of educational psychology and educational technology." (emphasis mine)
4. EChastain's editing Robert Spitzer (one of nine consecutive edits) 11 days into her WP history.
- On January 12, 2014, Sue Rangell followed me to Robert Spitzer (political scientist) within an hour of my first edit there and proceeded to battle with me, the BLP subject, and other editors over the article for five days. After, she went on a mission to remove source citations to Spitzer in numerous articles, and returned to his article on July 31 to label him in the same way she was pushing in January.
