Hello Googology Wiki! As I’ve watched Edwin Shade’s thousand-sockpuppet attack on this wiki, I’ve long wondered: just who is this guy? I’m sure many of you have wondered that very same thing, so I set out to “connect the dots” and see what kind of public information I could find on him. Let’s examine the clues, shall we?
 * 1) Last October, someone uploaded this video to the wiki, and the voice in it clearly matches audio files Edwin has uploaded here in the past.
 * 2) The title of the aforementioned video contains the name Kaleb Cook. Could this be Edwin’s real name?
 * 3) Equally interesting is the second part of the title - “The Wizard of Village Park.” I assume it’s a (tongue in cheek?) reference to Thomas Edison’s Menlo Park, so perhaps this “Village Park” is where Edwin lives?
 * 4) Then, another clue: this IP address was blocked by Kirkburn in October, right around the time Edwin’s main FANDOM account was globally blocked (and for the same duration too, 3 months). It traces back to a Comcast (i.e. non-VPN) IP in Amherst, Massachusetts.
 * 5) Is there a “Village Park” in Amherst? Why yes, there is!
 * 6) Does anyone with a surname of “Cook” live in the Village Park apartment complex? There’s just one: Mercedes Cook.
 * 7) A few quick searches show that this same Mercedes Cook uses the pseudonym “Merci Kaleb” on social media. Hmm…
 * 8) Mercedes’ Blogger and Facebook profiles reveal even more information, and you will probably notice the dozens of pictures of Mercedes' son Kaleb. He bears a stunning resemblance to one Edwin Shade, doesn't he?
