 * Suspected sockpuppets

In general, both their contributions are nearly exclusively on the Cochrane article - UlsterUnion and ScottishUnionist. Specifically, same language used in racist remarks: UlsterUnion - on Celtus Talk page, on Cochrane article, and on Talk page. ScottishUnionist - on my Talk page. Note also the similarity in names. Thank you. HighKing (talk) 16:58, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Note, ScottishUnionist is currently serving a block for the remarks he left, so he will be unable to respond here until his block expires. --HighKing (talk) 17:49, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Both names incorporate the word Union and use "IRA" as an insult. SockTiming their edits: shows that they both edited the same article within ~25 minutes of each other, both times to remove references to the Irish people. Relation seems highly likely. Foxy Loxy Pounce! 03:50, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Blocked User:UlsterUnion as an obvious sock (per WP:DUCK). Left the main account ScottishUnionist unblocked for the moment, but gave them a stern warning for WP:BATTLE. Any further misbehaviour of that account should be reported and met with immediate blocks. Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:45, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
