Identifiable Extreme Shippers CAUGHT redhanded altering Caitriona Balfe’s Wikipedia page to suit their SamCait fantasies--Read All About It!
So, yesterday I was alerted in DM that Cait’s Wikipedia page had been locked by Wikipedia administrators. Prior to this, Cait’s page had been updated to include that, as of 2018, she is engaged to Tony McGill (with a proper and legit citation from People magazine).
“Persistent vandalism” was the reason given for Cait’s Wiki account being locked. Persistent vandalism in Wiki terms means too many edits had been made on her page without substantiated citations or sources to back them up.
Gee, I wonder who would want to alter Cait’s page, especially NOW that it says she is engaged to Tony McGill? *taps chin* Um, Extreme Shippers of course! Click on “Keep Reading” below to see how I PROVE beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was IDENTIFIABLE and KNOWN Extreme Shippers who messed with Caitriona’s Wikipedia page AND they BRAGGED about it. Is there nothing they will stop at to keep their faux SamCait ship afloat? Looks like the answer is a resounding and embarrassing NO.
This is long and full of screencaps, but I think it’s worth reading to see just HOW FAR Extreme Shippers are willing to go to ALTER Reality to fit their SamCait fantasy world. Please read all the way to the end. I promise it’s worth it. :-)
If you go to Cait’s Wikipedia page, at the bottom there is a green bar that tells you who the last person to edit the page is, click on the left side of the bar and it takes you to the history of edits. On that page it tells you what time changes were made, the name of the person who made them and the section they changed etc. If the person does not have a user name on Wikipedia then it shows the person’s IP address.
In the screencap below, you can see that stuff was deleted yesterday, July 19 (red and the minus sign means a deletion) at 21:02, 9:02 PM by an Anon user (I’ve blacked out their full IP), then what they deleted was added (green and a plus sign means an addition) by DeniedClub who seems to be a frequent user. If you search back into the history from July 18 July 19, 2018, Caitriona’s “Personal Life” section was changed back and forth, back and forth, MULTIPLE times, until the excessive activity must have alerted one of the Administrators and you can see Admin, Anna Frodesiak finally locked Cait’s account at 21:30 9:30 PM for “persistent vandalism.”
Sooooo, let’s look at what was changed and why immediately one would suspect it was Extreme Shippers who made the changes.
What was it that the person with an IP that starts with an 8 and ends with a 5 deleted?
Why, it was the quote about Cait being engaged to Tony...quel surprise--not. You can see the IP matches. For a good laugh, below are more screencaps of the things that were changed on Cait’s Wiki page...as if changing what was written on Cait’s Wiki page would CHANGE REALITY. *facepalm*
Her “assistant” hahahaha! Let’s look at some more wishful thinking...
I wonder how long this edit that it was Sam Heughan who was Cait’s fiance was left up before someone changed it back. Lord.
Orphan Wiki, a confirmed user, had to delete the change someone made that said “As of 2018, she is engaged to someone who people don’t know.” Bwahahahaha. You couldn’t make this stuff up if you tried.
But the Anon user above was not happy with that so they changed it to “As of 2018, she is engaged to who is still a mystery.” More Bwahahahaha! Oh my God, I’m cackling. Hysterical.
Soooo, it’s pretty obvious that NO ONE OTHER than Extreme Shippers would make those changes to Cait’s Wiki page, but in case some of you are still in doubt, the screencaps below PROVE that Jess talked about “anyone” being able to change a Wiki page, and Jammfsession CONFIRMING she had done so.
The succession of Screencaps below SHOW that Extreme Shippers ADMITTED they were the ones that deleted Tony McGill off Cait’s Wiki page and made all those changes, that ES BRAGGED about it, and that ES EGGED each other on to continue doing so. Jammfsession even talked about going to Sam’s Wikipedia page and doing the same thing. So much for the “best fans ever.”
As you can see from the screencap above Nighean--donn showed a screencap of the change she made to Cait’s Wiki page--deleting Tony’s name. The disrespect is astounding, and the fact that they are so gleeful about it, like it’s a game is mind boggling.
Below are MORE screencaps showing the “party” Extreme Shippers seemed to be having joyfully deleting the name of the man Cait is in love with. As if that would change reality. SMH.
Amanda 5834 calling Mackenzie “trashy.” Such a great fan--NOT
Soooo, just to leave NO room for doubt as to it being Extreme Shippers who were the ones who kept deleting Tony’s name from Cait’s Wiki page, below is a screencap showing that it was indeed Jammfsession who messed with Cait’s page. You can see what she deleted (red), what she added (green), and her name Jammfsession right at the bottom.
Now let’s revisit which OTHER IDENTIFIABLE Extreme Shippers (there were more than TWO, but I’m focusing on just a few) also changed Cait’s Wiki page. In the screencap below, you can see that an Anon user with an IP that starts in 8 and ends in 59 made several deletions of the same 267 character paragraph over and over again...
What was it that IP ending starting in 8 and ending in 59 kept deleting after the admins kept adding it back? See below
So, I looked up the IP and guess what country it’s out of ?
IRELAND! Gee, what a coinkydink. Isn’t Jess supposedly in Ireland? I know there has always been doubt as to Jess really being in Ireland since she doesn’t use Irish syntax, and also says “Mom” instead of “Mum,” Vacation” instead of “Holiday,” “In the hospital” instead of “In hospital” and other stuff that Americans or Canadians say that Irish people don’t, but this right here gives me pause to think that the “Irish lass,” may indeed be in Ireland after all. Unless there’s some other Irish Extreme Shipper or someone purposely picking a VPN in Ireland. Who knows....BUT, let me leave you with this interesting morsel...
10 months ago someone with an IP starting in 8 and ending in 109 edited Cait’s Wiki page and changed Cait’s name from Caitriona Balfe to Jessica Caitriona Balfe. See screencap below
And guess where that IP is out of? IRELAND! Jess is short for Jessica and Jess used to go by Jessica on her blog. The IPs from Ireland are two different IPs. but the one I’m showing you now was from 10 months ago, Jess could have gotten a new phone/tablet/laptop, or simply be using a different device. But it would have to be a coincidence of epic proportions that someone named “Jessica” from Ireland who altered Cait’s name on her Wiki page would not be THE Jessica (Jess) from Ireland. I won’t make any definitive conclusions about this...everyone can decide for themselves what they make of it, but there it is.
What I CAN say definitively thought is this: what I presented to you in this post is PROOF POSITIVE that SamCait Extreme Shippers DID mess with Cait’s Wikipedia page, did delete her ACTUAL, REAL fiance Tony McGill’s name off her OFFICIAL AND PUBLIC Wikipedia page that millions of people view, did change her fiance to Sam Heughan or to “mystery” person, did so continuously, AND BRAGGED about it, as if it were something to be applauded. This isn’t a game, this is people’s lives and careers. REAL fans don’t do crap like that, immature, petulant, spiteful non-fans do that. Extreme Shippers, once again SHOWING the fandom that they are CAPABLE OF ANYTHING...and that, my friends, is very scary for Cait, for Tony, for Sam, for Mackenzie, for ALL of us.
