It's an open secret that Nihil novi is the former (e.g. compare the edit summaries of   and  ). This Logologist has engaged in sockpuppetry as verified by RCU to get Copernicus to be "Polish" before. They were similarly obvious as the connection between Logologist and Nihil Novi and are similarly obvious as the connection between any of them to the more recent User:Cyanothus. With Cyanothus, he enganged in a sock-aided 3RR:
 * 21:29, 1 September 2007 Nihil novi
 * 01:04, 2 September 2007 Cyanothus
 * 01:32, 2 September 2007 Nihil novi
 * 06:56, 2 September 2007 Nihil novi

He also used that account in another nationality-war to get Chopin "Polish". A further use was for Copernicus (note also the reference to Encyclopedia Britannica and Americana later referred to ; discontinued perhaps after made aware of the obviousness of his disguise ). Comments like this also sound like him. Probably CU will fail now that he had been caught before and gained experience but it should still be worth a try. Sciurinæ (talk) 04:09, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Nihil novi and Astronomer28 are apparently ❌; Cyanothus and Logologist are . Thatcher 01:12, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
