 * Suspected sockpuppets

All three accounts only have a handful of edits. Almost all of these are to the specific article Ossian (given name), and concern the claim that the name Ossian is related to the names Óðinn, Odin, and etc.


 * 27 August 2015‎: SwedishFacts adds such a derivation into the article with the edit summary "I wrote a lot about the name, the origin, the meaning etc." . I removed this unreferenced addition. On 2 September 2015, JanErikssonsWIKIz added the same derivation into the article with the summary "I wrote a lot about the name, the origin, the meaning etc. Reliable sources." . These edits and edit summaries show that SwedishFacts and JanErikssonsWIKIz are connected.


 * Since the sources JanErikssonsWIKIz gave didn't support the derivation I reverted the addition and left a note on his talkage. On 7 September 2015 JanErikssonsWIKIz responded by using the particular reference, " http://www.nordiskanamn.n.nu/ossian ", a webpage I suspect he has created himself just now . I reverted this addition and left a note on his talkpage. The next day, TheAwesomeSheep appears and repeats JanErikssonsWIKIz's addition . I undid this and left a note about sockpuppetry on JanErikssonsWIKIz's talkpage. On 17 September 2015, TheAwesomeSheep did it again . JanErikssonsWIKIz has failed to respond to my comments, and all these edits show that JanErikssonsWIKIz and TheAwesomeSheep are connected, and show that the sockmaster is intentionally socking.


 * Note that the history of the Swedish version of the article shows a similar pattern, with users named "SvenskFakta", "SwedishFacts", and "JanErikssonsWIKIz" adding the same claims . In fact, SvenskFakta was blocked for edit-warring on 21 January 2015, and SwedishFacts first pops up on 3 February 2015 carrying on where SvenskFakta had left off . So it looks like the same socking is going on in both English and Swedish articles. Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 01:25, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
