Users only edits are restoring edits made by IP(s) that were recently blocked for WTJ block evasion. The other non-dinosaur/building related edits contain the same overly precise numbers. There is also similarity in the tone of the edit summaries and things like "Better conversion" etc...


Amphicoelias by Brolyeuphyfusion | by IP WTJ block evasion | by WTJ

Asian elephant by Brolyeuphyfusion | by IP WTJ block evasion

Burj Khalifa by Brolyeuphyfusion | by IP WTJ block evasion, second edit by IP block evasion

Columbian mammoth by Brolyeuphyfusion | by IP WTJ block evasion

Dacentrurus by Brolyeuphyfusion | by WelcomeToJurassicWorld

Dinosaur size by Brolyeuphyfusion | by WelcomeToJurrasicWorld | by IP block evasion

Sauropelta by Brolyeuphyfusion | by IP WTJ block evasion | by WelcomeToJurassicWorld
ip is most recent of a long list of recently blocked for evasion of WTJ's block

There are a ton more diffs I could give as an example but I think it's rather clear what is happening here. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 14:01, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how this is a sockpuppet (same goes with U:Brolyeuphyfusion above). Blaze is someone I am aware of off-wiki, an I don't think WelcometoJurassicPark was a previous account of his. His edits on Ankylosaurus [13] were actually reversions of previously unnoticed IP editing which removed information, which Blaze was simply restoring while adding an additional reference. On Giganotosaurus [14] his edits appear to be more similar, but he also began by asking on the article talk page about what he could do. IJReid discuss 00:46, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the above, see comments from myself and IJReid at User talk:BLAZZE92. Lythronaxargestes (talk | contribs) 02:37, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User engages in repeated pattern of introducing original synthesis regarding dinosaur size, notably on the Giganotosaurus page where WelcometoJurassicPark previously edit-warred under sockpuppets.

However, unsure of whether this is a sockpuppet due to it having been created whilst another sock was active, and editing whilst another sock was active.

Need CheckUser to confirm if IP address originates from Hungary, as with previous socks. If not, possibly a false positive. Lythronaxargestes (talk | contribs) 02:04, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comes one day after last sock was blocked.

Complains about feathers on Tyrannosaurus restorations [34] (see also [35]). However, differs from previous socks in the addition of images from Durbed on Commons.

"Size-queening" on dinosaur articles. Usage of the Benson et al. (2014) reference [39][40][41][42] is congruent with previous socks [43][44][45]. Same deal with Campione et al. (2014) [46]; compare [47]. Quibbling about overprecision as well [48]; compare [49]. Finally, edited on African bush elephant [50]; compare [51].

Personally, I think this one is a dead ringer. User:IJReid disagrees with me, apparently. Lythronaxargestes (talk | contribs) 07:53, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hmm. I had a browser tab open on this user's contributions when I saw them blatantly gaming autoconfirmed the other day. They're obviously not a brand new editor. However, other than a general interest in "how big dinosaurs are", are there any specific diffs you can point to as evidence here? ST47 (talk) 00:30, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is though, is that Junsik's edit to the Acrocanthosaurus article was a partial revert of the WtJP IP's addition, which seems somewhat unlikely if Junsik is the same user as the IP (who is almost certainly the same as WtJP). Junsik also has a broader interests editing other than just edit warring about the size of animals, which has been the pretty much sole focus of the WtJP IP socks (other than the occasional post to the Paleoart review pages, see 94.21.215.113 (talk · contribs · WHOIS)). Hemiauchenia (talk) 21:10, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not entirely sure what's going on but are you suspecting that I'm the same as 94.21.215.113? I'm certainly not that guy, and I never call any estimates "trash." I only state what I find and source them properly, and if there were any mistake in my understanding or the sources I brought up, I accept my mistakes. Plus I just checked the Acrocanthosaurus revision history, and Hemiauchenia said that he/she is using a Hungarian dead IP. I am a South Korean and currently living in Jeju for 10 years. Junsik1223 (talk) 00:37, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
