Turgeis has been editing articles adding considerable copyvio, particularly from The Peninsular War: A New History By Charles Esdaile. He stops, Ceiscoran beings a few minutes later with a user page identical to Turgeis's. Ceiscoran continues to edit Peninsular War using the same source.. Even more unlikely, both are editing a template created by Turgeis, Template:Government type as well as Merchant republic which was a redirect until these two editors appeared. They are also both editing Noble republic. It isn't a coincidence that both of these phrases appear in the strategy game Europa Universalis.. See WP:ANI. After they are told about the ANI discussion, Creakness arrives. Note Creakness's edit to his talk page, Ceiscoran's and Turgeis's - probably enough for WP:DUCK but I'd like a check for sleepers.

 * A number of the edits seem to be being made only to add links to government types from the strategy game, eg Creakness's - see . Dougweller (talk) 16:13, 2 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Noting that is the same editor adding the same edits as a couple of the accounts. Dougweller (talk) 18:29, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Might also check 187.15.83.166 since it attempted to roll back a copyvio flag. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 16:29, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

 * User:Creakness, User:Turgeis and User:Ceiscoran were just indeffed (by me) on copyright grounds, this isn't expressing any views in regards to this SPI. MLauba (Talk) 16:33, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Regarding the likelies, I'd suggest the user pages might be quacking, but I'm in no way accustomed to make such judgement calls. MLauba (Talk) 16:35, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
