Practically I doubt anyone at the house of commons spends their time fixing BLP issues and just happened to stumble across a random polish politician. The information that he was a National Revival of Poland member is back in the article with citations and explanations. -- geni ___ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l

They mean there was an account named "Strasburg", would be the simple interpretation. (And this might be another subediting gremlin.) There is an implied link between the two editors, but "we couldn't possibly comment", I guess.
