Basic information[edit]
Keegscee (talk · contribs · block log · arb · SPI confirmed suspected)
Comprehensive edits analysis
Keegscee is a member of RationalWiki, a website originally created in protest of Conservapedia. RationalWiki members have been known to promote vandalism of other wikis.[1] [2]. Though Keegscee's account at RationalWiki has been dormant for several years, he may or may not be using a different identity at the site, which is common practice there. He was banned by the English Wikipedia community in 2010 and banned from all Wikimedia projects in 2021 by the Wikimedia Foundation Trust & Safety team. He is also known as ChadBrunner.
Targeted areas, pages, themes[edit]
Mostly pages edited by contributors he dislikes, and those contributors' talk pages. Keegscee is known to harass User:PCHS-NJROTC (real name David Morris), User:Ed Poor, User:Georgewilliamherbert, User:Neutralhomer, User:LBHS Cheerleader, and User:Orangemike, but his attacks should not be considered to be limited to those users.
Habitual behavior[edit]
Keegscee's activities range from harassing people he considers to be "right wing nuts" or who he believes are responsible for him being disciplined[3], to impersonating other users, to reverting vandalism and encouraging the perpetrators to vandalize wikis he dislikes. Keegscee's accounts are often obvious to those familiar with him, but sometimes his harassment is subtle in nature and might not even be detected as vandalism by recent changes patrols, such as to insert inaccurate information into an article mixed with off-wiki information about his victims (he has made malicious contributions that have survived for days before being reverted as "unreferenced" for example). He often makes numerous sockpuppet accounts at one time, although sometimes he will just make one sporadic account or use an IP. When his socks are identified, he sometimes denies being a sock He is known to use open proxies. Keegscee is known to dox his victims and harass them off-wiki, causing email access to be disabled from his main account. Sometimes similar, but slightly different abuse has been seen from different IP ranges (see the Keegscee SPI), possibly indicating meatpuppetry.
Cases[edit]

Other notes[edit]
Avoid engaging Keegscee in conversation, and minimize unnecessary noticeboard discussions. His intentions are to create drama on Wikipedia. A hand-written abuse report was sent to Time Warner Cable in Austin, Texas in 2010, after which Keegscee disappeared altogether for roughly one year, but he has since returned with a new IP on the same network.
