Shortly after User:Sleetman was given a 31-hour editblock for disruptive editing and incivility, User:Flightyfish — a user who only ever made two edits before today — showed up and started applying edits to Adam Giambrone that were remarkably similar (singling relatively minor incidents out for headlined section treatment, etc.) to Sleetman's actions on Thomas Mulcair and Libby Davies which initiated the whole dispute in the first place. I might think nothing of it, if not for the fact that prior to Sleetman's editblock, I had specifically named an example of an article which appropriately handled political controversies without sensationalizing or giving them undue weight. My example? Adam Giambrone. Bearcat (talk) 19:58, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Did you give that example before or after 2011-04-08, i.e. the first time Flightyfish edited said article? Amalthea  10:37, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
