Three factual observations:
1. The Patchett AfD was logged [here]
2. Her page clearly states that she's from Western Australia, and that she's listed in the category for People from Perth, Western Australia
3. Dan has a long history of editing pages about WA.
Obviously I can't say for certain how Dan came to edit the page, and I have no idea at all if he would recognise the name and follow through after seeing it in the log, nor if he even saw the log, but I can say that there are other possibilities than the one LibStar suggests. Unless LibStar has other evidence that isn't posted here, I don't really see how he or she can be so confident that Dan is in the wrong. ¶ Now, for the record, before I'm accused of something, I'll note that I've been editing some of the same pages as Dan since 2007. I took a look at his contributions page to see if he'd been up to anything interesting recently, and came across this.
