Fact check

Fact check is a new user who immediately began removing any text with a {{fact}} attached. I find it remarkable that a new user would know to create a purpose specific name and from the get-go be enforcing a tiny part of policy without having a history here first. On the assumption that this was just a purpose specific account created by another user, I requested on his/her talk page that the user mention who they used to be/what their other ID is. The user has been cagey, asking why I need to know. Perhaps it's a completely innocent purpose driven account, but I'm beginning to wonder if it's possible that this user might be someone coming back as a new ID to sharpen a WP:POINT about verifiability. If a casual CU is possible, it would be nice to verify that this is not someone who is currently under censure. - CHAIRBOY () 23:39, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
