User HighKing has recently been engaged in further edit wars concerning the inclusion of the term [[British Isles]] in various articles. During a recent war on the [[Six Nations Championship]] article a new user, Laighinleo, suddenly appeared and supported HighKing's position with this edit - [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Six_Nations_Championship&oldid=517596337], which was made within a couple of hours of HighKing's revert. Of interest is the new user's name; Laighin seems to be Gaelic for [[Leinster]], and the [[Leinster Rugby]] social club has a bar called 'The Laighin Out' or something similar. Further, it appears that HighKing is a supporter of Leinster Rugby - see here [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Scolaire/Archive_4] (section called 'Negotiation tactics'). For a brand new editor to edit an article on rugby, to support HighKing's stance, and to be a supporter of the same team as HighKing, seems too much of a coincidence. This user is undoubtedly HighKing, but no doubt operating from a different device than normal. I should think the Duck test applies here. |

The case agasint User Bastun is strange and somewhat inexplicable, since HighKing and Bastun normally exhibit opposing views on many Irish-related matters. However, compare this version of HighKing's user page: |
|||
[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:HighKing&direction=next&oldid=195879762] |
|||
with this version of Bastun's: |
|||
[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Bastun&direction=next&oldid=113725469] |
|||
They are almost identical. Furthermore, while Bastun has actually edited the articles named as [[North Strand]] and [[Open adoption]], HighKing has not, despite listing these obscure articles on this early version of his user page. There is a clear connection between these users. [[User:Scandal Bird|Scandal Bird]] ([[User talk:Scandal Bird|talk]]) 11:52, 16 October 2012 (UTC) |

This is simply a reaction to the SPI I filed against Scandal Bird earlier this morning. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/LevenBoy here]. Also, I have not engaged in edit wars on this topic as this would be against [[WP:GS/BI]] - I note that no diffs were provided to back up this statement (nor would this be possible). This is a fishing expedition with no evidence and simply trying to get a late punch in before their fate is decided at the other SPI. --[[User:HighKing|HighKing]] ([[User talk:HighKing|talk]]) 12:37, 16 October 2012 (UTC) |
