As long as "Oliver" tries to stick to the collegial spirit of mutual respect, that is fine. But I find it odd his user account appears right after Lir is banned, and then he jumps in and makes edits in a fashion that indicates he is anything but a newbie.
Eh? Oliver's account existed well before Lir was banned. It seems unlikely that Lir would have acquired an email account at a British university. If you look at Oliver's list of edits, you'll find they're perfectly sensible and restrained.
Why on earth would you think he is Lir?
Not to mention him joining the list and "defending" himself.
I haven't seen him defending Lir (is that what you meant?). He's just taking the same side which Lir did on the question of anglicised article names, which is certainly an issue on which reasonable people can differ.
