Sporadic but similar edits to Europe removing any mention of British Isles over a prolonged period; edits to Liam Neeson, removing OBE after name with similar edit summaries. Their editing patterns, including moving articles to Irish naming conventions, seem identical, although Dunlavin Green edits more. (Diffs can be provided on request.) The edits of Captain Fearnought and Dunlavin Green have been interspersed with an anonymous Dublin IP which I have also listed. As another user has also pointed out they have both also edited the no-so-well-known article Robin Flower. I think I might have mixed up the sockmaster with the sockpuppet, according to when they started editing. It's been pointed out that the 6th diff of Dunlavin Green announced that his account was a "nom de guerre".  Mathsci (talk) 18:30, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

NOTE The account Captain Fearnought was created first, so he is the sockmaster and Dunlavin Green is the sockpuppet. Sorry again about the confusion. Mathsci (talk) 19:49, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

 * I tagged Captain Fearnought as the master and the others as the puppets because of the date first edited: not sure if this report should be renamed/reorganized. Doc   talk  20:47, 19 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I moved the page and updated the tags to reflect Fearnought as the master. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 08:13, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
