For several years, there has been a user contributing under several anonymous IP’s. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_arbitration/Winter_Soldier/Workshop under several anonymous IP’s] While editing under those IP’s he was responsible for multiple edit wars across several articles, all related to the Vietnam War, and this behavior eventually became the subject of an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Winter_Soldier arbitration case]. The user was also engaged in repeated and gross violation of Copyright rules.

The Reason given for him not logging was simple, it was an “experiment”:

“My not logging in under my registered psuedonym - please don't let that be a distraction from the real issues here. Almost 2 years ago there was an argument that resulted in a challenge to me, which then resulted in a little experiment, which is presently ongoing. I beg you to humor me on this. On a Wikipedia that claims anyone (even the unregistered) may contribute, and prides itself on the content of articles, not the contributors of them, this should not be an issue. I will continue to remain not logged in, while reserving my logging in for voting and other procedural matters as required.”[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Winter_Soldier_Investigation/Archive2]

I could provide much more anecdotal and circumstantial evidence on why I believe that the previously mentioned Anon, is User:Reddi, and is also the SPA User:Xenophrenic, but it all comes from off Wiki websites, which may reveal personal details about User:Reddi that may or may not be a violation of his privacy. If you feel this is not the case, I am more than willing to provide the information either here or via an email.

I think it would be safe to say this: any edit made by Xenophrenic/Reddi from 4/7 to 7/30 came from NYC, and anything after came from Florida.

Reddi, also has been involved in several disputes [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Community_sanction_noticeboard&oldid=122042337#Community_ban_or_lengthy_block_of_Reddi] and apparantly Reddi is under Rv parole [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Reddi_2#Enforcement].

User:Reddi was banned by an arbcom decision from contentious editting on certain pages. User:Rotating magnetic field looks like a sockpuppet created to evade this. ScienceApologist 21:13, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
