 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

All three of these Users have edited the Norman invasion of Ireland Article in the exact same manner. Also, The IP Address 130.154.33.10 was blocked for disruptive editing and the User HistoriadorMexica made the same edits while the IP address was blocked. After a short absence of a few months, the User Scéal-Nua has been created and is making the exact same edits. Also look at the exact similarity of these 2 sandboxes from the separate logged in accounts: User:HistoriadorMexica/sandbox, User:Scéal-Nua/sandbox. This does not fall into the Clean Start policy as the User is making the exact same edits to the exact same article. A simple look at this Page History shows this:.

After reviewing Wikipedia guidelines, I understand why this accusation has been levelled. To explain. The previous user, HistoriadorMexica, shares this computer with me and is the one who edited the page before. He did not acquaint himself with guidelines and prefers to handle disagreements the old fashioned way. After experiencing some frustrations, he decided it wasn't worth it and retired, but he didn't post that on his user page the way he is supposed to, guess he just didn't think he needed to. He expressed his frustration to me and upon seeing the page titled "Norman Invasion of Ireland" and comparing it to the work he had done, it seemed griveous to me that the truth was not being told in its entirety. I promised I would try my hand at it with my own account and perhaps following Wikipedia guidelines could be more successful than he. However, I perhaps didn't realize that it was a bad idea to use the same computer we have at the office to create my new account. Hence the misunderstanding and the accusations. However, we have discussed this and HistoriadorMexica has officially retired his account (which will be evident if anyone visits his user page) and I have contacted the arbitration committee and asked them to see this as a "clean start" account for this ip address. As my behavior has shown in the past few days... I think it is evident I intend to follow guidelines and cause no trouble whatsoever. Moreover, I do not have the same old fashioned dispute resolution methods as my co-worker. He is really not a bad person, he just handles disputes differently and Wikipedia is perhaps not the place for that. In view of this... I think it a good idea to clear my account of these accusations and allow me to continue editing. You will find that I will contribute much good and benefit the world by the knowledge I put forth. If that is not good enough, then I could retire this account as well, and start a clean start one from another computer if that works... Just trying to use diplomacy and solve disputes courteously is all. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scéal-Nua (talk • contribs) 00:46, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Indeffing sock, blocking IP for 1 month and blocking master for 1 week. The sock stated this is his work after he posted it but what was posted was the master's work. Sock or plagiarist meatpuppet...doesn't matter.
