On User:Homebirdni the editor admits he was also editing as, the importance of this will become clear shortly. Afterlife10 has appeared to take part in the same discussions as Homebirdni (he was editing as an IP in the discussions), namely Talk:Belfast and Talk:Belfast. There is no indication from him that he is in fact the same editor, in fact "I would probably agree with the IP on this" is a claim of being a different editor. Common characteristics are the unusual capitalisation of "Island" and also that neither Afterlife10 or Homebirdni leaves a space between punctuation and their signature (see Talk:Countries of the United Kingdom for Homebirdni and the previously linked discussions for Afterlife10).

 * In agreement with O'Fenian. A CU should be ran on these accounts. GoodDay (talk) 22:34, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

This seems a bit silly, but what the hell. So what, I agree with someone else. On this same topic User:Bjmullan has agreed with User:O Fenian. What does this tell us? On the previous topic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Belfast#City_size_comparison, My Accuser O Fenian made a comment at 17:31, 24 December 2010 and within 4 minutes User:Bjmullan appears to support his argument. 2 people can share the same opinion! Run what ever checks are necessary. And yes 'Island of Ireland' is spelt with a capital as it is the topic at hand. Afterlife10 (talk) 22:50, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * If you're innocent, then you'd have nothing to fear, right? GoodDay (talk) 22:57, 4 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I am innocent. As soon as I am clear. ill be running an SPI of my own. Check the edit history here - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Belfast&action=history. NorthernCounties has just made a revert sparing O Fenian a 3RR warning. Birds of a feather flock together. Afterlife10 (talk) 23:02, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Afterlife10 is obviously a sock of someone. He/she reopened the SPI O Fenian, which was created by socks. How many new users are even aware of sockpuppets? JDDJS (talk) 00:46, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Its not that hard to figure out when you are accused of sockppupettry first. Afterlife10 (talk) 00:50, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Still seems like WP:DUCK to me. Trying to attack your accuser usually means your guilty.-- JDDJS (talk) 00:56, 5 January 2011 (UTC) ...or a genuine case.Afterlife10 (talk) 01:02, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Adding a CU, as it seems suspicious that two new accounts spend nearly all their time in talk and Wiki pages. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 02:36, 5 January 2011 (UTC)


 * is ❌ to -  A l is o n  ❤ 04:13, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
