The Thunderer

 * Supporting evidence: The Thunderer is presently involved in a long-standing feud with other posters regarding Irish Republican articles, including The Troubles, which have been the subject of numerous, well documented AE proceedings. See block log. Upon noting an edit on or about October 28, 2008, by Harrymph of The Troubles based on lack of citation, I reverted it back for suspicion of vandalism as the change was not accompanied by a request for consensus as required, leaving a comment on Harrymph's talk page.  Harrymph changed it again, and I again reverted the article, adding a citation to resolve the stated objection to its inclusion.  Following the reverts in question, Harrymph reported me to AE for alleged "incivility", a matter which is still pending.  I had suspicions, which were confirmed in my mind when Harrymph (the puppet) stated I had edited the article to enforce my own views.  This differed strongly from his previous statements that the change had been made based on lack of citation, and showed that the edit in question was at least in part motivated by an objection to content.  A review of Harrymph's edits was then made, and I saw that a long period of inactivity had elapsed prior to an upshot in activity on October 28, 2008.  During this period, The Thunderer had been topic blocked from editing Irish Republican articles for edit warring with other posters.  The initial edits on October 28, 2008 invloved many of these blocked articles, in this order from newest to oldest:

•	17:26, 28 October 2008 Irish War of Independence ‎ •	17:22, 28 October 2008 Provisional IRA campaign 1969–1997 ‎ •	17:20, 28 October 2008 The Troubles ‎ •	17:19, 28 October 2008 The Troubles ‎ •	17:16, 28 October 2008 Irish War of Independence ‎ •	17:13, 28 October 2008 Irish Republican Army ‎ •	17:04, 28 October 2008 Irish Civil War ‎

Following these edits, all in order, there are a number of other edits to articles unrelated to the subject matter on the basis of lack of citation (whether this was to cover earlier activity is a serious question). A further review of The Thunderer's edit history reveals that during the relevant timeframes, he was active, and the times of edits correspond to an editor logging off of one account, logging onto another and making edits moments after a previous edit was made by the other account. On the basis of these facts, I suspect that The Thunderer is using Harrymph as a sockpuppet to make changes to articles from which he was subject blocked in violation of the AE decisions against him. I ask that admin. perform a checkuser and IP check on this basis for both of these accounts. Thank you.Yachtsman1 (talk) 19:23, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
