Who is this entity? Look at the contributions. It seems unusual for an IP editor to show up on all the big drama boards all the time. Only rarely is there an article edit. I looked at its talk page and found a query from Cla68 about previous accounts, which is coyly evaded.

Geolocates to San Francisco, so it's gotta be Erik Moeller.

Not that it matters, but nobody within the 75.57.*.* range has logged in here on WR in the past 3 years...
Personally, I'd say the explanation that this is a WMF employee who's been in withdrawal from a rulemongering addiction is more than plausible. (That's what they get for hiring from within the ranks of the "community.") But I doubt it's Erik Moeller - Erik probably wouldn't have posted this, for example. |

Well, geolocation of IPs is usually pretty hit and miss, but since this one geolocates to "1601-1645 Market St", I would say that it is a safe bet that this is a WMF employee. One of the devs, judging from computing and math knowledge.

I think it is LossIsNotMore/Nrcprm2026, who doesn't confine himself to just one ISP, or range.

Don't the regulars at these talkfests usually squawk when "IP editors" participate? They seem to be in on the game.

Only one possibility: this is a well-known wiki drama queen, and they all know who it is. |

His first IP edit a month ago, after breaking with an old account (he claims he's an "old fart" on WP), was on the topic of endogenous retroviruses. I'm guessing, just on stastitics and social-feel, that this would be a "he." Even more-so than your average WP policy-fight warrior. And drama-queen? Speaks for itself. |

This user has edited for quite a while with changing IPs (I've seen him round for more than a year, sometimes editing from Oakland). I've always assumed they were an ex-UCB graduate student because of all the mathematical logic. He seems non-partisan in this case. |

QUOTE(It's the blimp, Frank @ Fri 8th April 2011, 9:22pm) Don't the regulars at these talkfests usually squawk when "IP editors" participate? They seem to be in on the game. I have made two comments on it, one when they requested that their opinion be added to the initial comment phase, and another following one of their contributions to a proposed remedy on seren. No bites. This person has also been amassing some detailed statistics on noleander's editing patterns; * User talk:75.57.242.120/ne (T-H-L-K-D) * User talk:75.57.242.120/Noleander/Contribution surveyor (T-H-L-K-D) * User talk:75.57.242.120/Noleander (T-H-L-K-D) So, we have a missing regular who knows his way around policy, procedure, and assorted wiki-debate centers, and apparently has a wee bit of a fixation on building up a case against Noleander. |
