Here's a blast from the past if ever there was one.

Back at the end of 2009/beginning of 2010, I reported someone who went by the username DeKoning for repeated POV-pushing on the article about Governors Island. Measures were taken, he was blocked, etc., etc., and things have been quiet since. Until this month.

Check out this dif; it smells awfully similar to DeKoning's stuff. I've removed the same information from the article four times over the past couple of weeks; each time it's readded without comment. Sounio appears to have a habit of making controversial edits; his edit to One World Trade Center has been reverted twice, now. Both edits have my Spidey-sense tingling, as they talk about freedom and tolerance in New York and/or New Amsterdam, and that's precisely the kind of thing DeKoning used to push. I'm requesting Checkuser to be certain; I doubt there are sleepers, but you never know. Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 15:07, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Looks reasonable clear from the edits, when compared with DeKoning as well as the earlier sock . Same POV on the topic, similar writing style, repeated re-adding of removed material without comment... Sounio's in 2010 looks especially telling. I've blocked the account as a sock of DeKoning.
