Archduke edits solely to support peterson's edits and proposals across Wikipedia.

This mainly includes supporting him in edits wars,  but it also extends to supporting him in move discussions

The comments by Archduke at Talk:Pavlos, Crown Prince of Greece made me think it's the same person, as almost every John Peterson comment used "ridiculous", rather than providing reliable sources, and Archduke did the same. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:16, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

You might also want to take a look at the possible connection with User:John D Robertson a blocked sock of the blocked sockmaster User:Snackbag. John D Robertson did a few edits at Golden Horn before being blocked after which Dr John and Ferdinand took over and started editing in a very similar vein.  Tigerboy1966  16:54, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

This is, most likely, User:Dr John Peterson who, along with User:Equine 1961 and User:Archduke Ferdinand III of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was just blocked as a sockpuppet of User:Snackbag. This IP is harassing User:Tigerboy1966 and was just blocked by User:Diannaa. All of his edits: are to articles Tigerboy has been working on today, a post at Wikiproject horse racing, harassing Tigerboy, or to Tigerboy's page itself. Based on behavioral evidence and the close proximity of disruptive editing of both sockpuppets and this IP at Golden Horn (horse), this is almost certainly block evasion. Probably needs to be indeffed and the IP permanently blocked too. May need a sweep.
