How did you link Fys with Sam Blacketer? Was it just by looking at likely candidates in topic areas and timing, and following the various rabbitholes thereof? It's been noted that the accounts were deliberately overlapped to make this difficult to near-impossible.
Something I found on WP. I don't want to say exactly what because people may avoid doing it in the future. Edits times and interests were then compared to confirm it.
Here's a chart of the overlapping edit histories. Sam is blue and Fys is red.
Amazing job. After looking in the BLP you find that Boothroyd worked as a research assistant for
Ian Lucas an MP from Wexham. And sure enough, "Fys" is the second author of this BLP, adding considerable personal content to it. (Sam categorizes it later, too).
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...8&oldid=2955230But you can't in general find this sort of thing by whose interested in British politicos. Fys and Sam Blacketer may have edited a lot of the same UK political articles, but it's nothing compared with the output of (say) a Morwen or a BrownHairedGirl, who are different people and not the same, and who eclipse Boothroyd by far. In fact they share 2500 or something UK political articles or something. It's not a Huggle artifact, it's real obscession. (IMG:
