 * Suspected sockpuppets

Anton started his edit disputes on various articles (see here and here for examples), by inserting ethnicity data into articles and aggressively reverting and accusing other users of 'censorship'. On the Denmark article he carried on this reverting/editing until 22:47. A new account, Polarwolf69 was created shortly after at 23:41. Polarwolf's first edit is to the Denmark article, where he apparently picks up where the other editor left off. Overall, as you can see from this user's contributions they started editing the Denmark article and inserting the same data again. Note in the previous link the user talks about censorship, just as Anton did. I called Anton out on this behaviour, however they did not respond for the time being, whilst Polarwolf69 carried on editing. Finally, just a couple of minutes after Polarwolf's final edit (blanking a user page), Anton responds to my post and denies all knowledge of the latter user.

I don't wish to jump to any immediate conclusion ("good faith") but this behaviour is very perculior and there is a possibility that Anton was using the latter user to carry on their editing and evade detection. Peter Talk page 22:31, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Indeffing socks and giving master 48 hours. There are enough behavioral similarities to link to the master.
