I believe Our Day Will Come was used by another user to pretend to be a sock of User:Vintagekits. Checkuser has confimed that the Our Day Will Come and Vintagekits accounts are unrelated (see here). Our Day Will Come was newly created and immediately began editing articles Vintagekits was recently involved in with pro-Irish republican slances. This includes the first ever edit of commenting on a case for deletion that Vintagekits was involved in, and voting in the same way [1]. The second edit included a short sentance adding "Volunteer" to an article [2], something that Vintagekits is currently prevented in doing according to mediation [3]. The third edit involves helping Vintagekits in an edit war with another user [4]. The fourth edit was to remove an "unverified" tag to an image that Vintagekits had added [5]. The fifth was to revert to a version by Vintagekits in the Diarmuid O'Neill article, after other users had removed references [6]. The other edits are in similar vein. Given the past history of Vintagekits, I don't think he would have thought he could get away with this, and so wouldn't have tried it.

Astrotrain and Vintagekits have been in a number of disputes. Some examples of bad feeling include here, here, here. This user is among a number who have motives, and I have other checkuser cases against them. It's just to be sure, and to catch whoever's breaking the integrity of Wikipedia.

Unrelated as far as IP analysis can tell. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 03:27, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
