I might be wrong, and I hope I am, but I believe that Cambalachero and Argentino are or were the same person. Both are Argentine users who focus mostly on Argentine subjects (such as Falklands War, History of Argentina, German Argentine They also seem to share very similar ideas. Argentino and Cambalachero have both argued that modern historians avoid disputing whether or not Juan Manuel de Rosas was a dictator and believe that the discussion is pointless. They also used the same argument that Oliver Cromwell is not called a dictator on Wikipedia and thus Juan Manuel de Rosas shouldn't too. Notice that Argentino stopped editing for good in 2010 around the same time Cambalachero started to edit much more. Both seem to share an interest for images too, Cambalachero is also an administrator on Commons. If the request is taken, you should probably use these edits they both made on the same article within minutes apart from each other: P.S.: I made a request for arbitration regarding Cambalachero and it seems that it will be accepted. I need the checkuser to see if he has taken advantage to influence the outcome of discussions in the past. --Lecen (talk) 19:44, 28 March 2013 (UTC) Lecen (talk) 19:44, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

The account Argentino last edited in April 2012, so will presumably be too stale to be examined by a checkuser. Mathsci (talk) 20:40, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

 * - Mathsci is correct - Argentino is for CheckUser purposes. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 22:30, 28 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Marking for close. CU is of no use at this point and the behavioural evidence doesn't look strong enough for a WP:DUCK case. ArbCom is currently examining the related issues at Arbitration/Requests/Case/Argentine History. (Incidentally, Argentino is the older account so this page should probably be renamed to reflect that.) Jafeluv (talk) 10:41, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
