I'm not sure, but considering the date of user:Muneshige's account creation, he might be a sock, a block evading account. He knows too well how to edit WP for a newbie and he edited the similar topics BradTraylor did. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Japan. I found something wrong with Matsudaira Koretada. According to his userpage, he says Hello, I am Muneshige and I am a real fan of my country's history. Though he doesn't say what's his country, it is natural to think that he is a native ja speaker as his edits are mostly on Japan-related articles. But he provided やせこけた as Matsudaira's given name in ja. Native ja speakers never make such a mistake as the meaning of the word is totally different and it's an adjective. See and. I don't understand it. Does he make fun of us? Oda Mari (talk) 08:52, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * User:Muneshige

Battle of Neko'o Castle is a very dubious article like Imizu, a possible hoax. The castle belonged to Kuroki family from beginning till the fall. But the article has no mention of Kuroki. The tone of the article seems similar to the battle of Imizu. See these. ja:猫尾城, ja:黒木家永, ja:筑後十五城, or translation, and  or translation. This image created by the user is also unsourced and dubious. There are at least three Saitos, but any one of them uses the crest. There is no description about what Saito's crest in the file. See or translation,  or translation, and  or translation. (note:character encoding is Shift_JIS) Even if the user is not a sock, he is a problematic editor. Oda Mari (talk) 08:04, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

So, I'm logging in for the first time in a few weeks to see that I have a sock puppet allegation against me? Could someone explain this please? Please let me know WTF is going on, thanks. Does Oda Mari really have it this much out for me? This is ridiculous. --BradTraylor (talk) 05:42, 8 April 2012 (UTC) I don't seem to have access to anything useful on this page - could someone who isn't Oda Mari (who has a personal vendetta against me) help me out here and explain what is going on? Can't you just check my IP address to settle this whole ridiculous farce? --BradTraylor (talk) 05:57, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

 * I'm not seeing it. Could you get me one diff from each user. I have also restored the MfD to User:DeltaQuad/Battle of Imizu. Thanks. -- DQ  (ʞlɐʇ)  12:53, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

I am not seeing it the relations, either, between the four accounts. However, I have made a check on Muneshige, the CU results will be located at Sockpuppet investigations/Scarfaced Charley. --MuZemike 21:48, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
