A single-purpose account was created on 6 February 2013 exclusively for the purpose of edit-warring at Partitions of Poland. Who created that account becomes obvious, when you study the article revision history. Only by looking at it closely I realized that both, and User:Illyrian8 are the same person. In this edit AlexTiefling reverted an IP  with the summary: (Undid revision 536785622 by 170.135.241.45 (talk) Untrue - needless linguistic pedantry.) However, User AlexTiefling was reverted back just one hour later by a brand new account in this edit with the summary: (My edit was not intended as "vandalism" and it's not pedantry to use a word correctly... OK?) Four hours later I reverted the revisions made by Illyrian8 back to the article's stable version due to lack of wp:rs. I added new external-link to Google books preview. In my summary I wrote: (any radical change from listed sources needs new reference, please provide additional citation or leave it the way it is, wp:nor). The new User:Illyrian8 blanket-reverted me twice (refs and all). I looked at master 170.135.241.45 edit history and noticed many more controversial edits, like blanking the article, adding sourcless spam: (+4,532)‎ plus (+1,088),‎ and than reverting himself, massive removal of references and similar others. I have every reason to believe that other accounts, not just Illyrian8, must have been created by 170.135.241.45 due to the user's behavioral pattern. That's why I have requested the CheckUser as well. Thanks. Poeticbent talk 23:21, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Seems more to me like "user forgot to log in." I've warned the user for edit warring; that alone is sufficient for blocking should it continue. Rschen7754 08:07, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
