 * Suspected sockpuppets

Similar Chinglish, namely highly prevalent usage of progressive tense, obsession with de-Sinification of articles related to the Republic of China (at present commonly known as Taiwan). The de-Sinification I am speaking of refers to both moves to change "Republic of China" or "Republic of China (Taiwan)" to solely "Taiwan", or sometimes the removal of as many instances of the formal name (i.e. "Republic of China") from article text. A quick glance of both contribution histories ( last 250 including page moves ) shows that the two accounts' editing time windows are almost entirely outside of 10:00 to 15:00 Eastern Time (U.S.). AFAIK, there exists no instance of the two appearing as doppeldangers in the same move request discussion (and it seems to be exclusively Fizik), but this may be explained by the puppeteer attempting to avoid befalling WP:QUACK.

 * - They appear to be double-teaming on edit wars, so a check would be good. King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 03:38, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

No one else talks exactly like this, and consistently with the same bad grammar, too. Edits in same topic area, too. GotR Talk 00:39, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
 * : Do you think those IP edits were made to mislead/deceive/disrupt per WP:ILLEGIT? Fizikanauk hasn't edited page and talk page in quite some time. Amalthea  20:52, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I cannot rationally make that conclusion at the moment, but given his history of using multiple accounts for illegitimate purposes (hounding in reverts/discussions) last May (check the archives), he may well be up to no good this time around. I am not particularly concerned with reverting this IP's edit, but at the same time, that "talking page" summary is a pecularity of his. GotR Talk 21:14, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

I'm closing this case as "no action". Fizikanauk is not currently blocked, nor is this IP editor helping to evade a ban. The IP edited 9 days after the last time that Fizikanauk edited, so there's no attempt to assist in an edit war, nor is the IP pretending to be a second person to add an illusionary second opinion to support an argument from Fizikanauk. Let's just assume that the IP is Fizikanauk (and I think that it's likely), in that case Fizikanauk is only guilty of not logging in before editing, and there is no policy violation in doing so. --  At am a  頭 17:26, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
