This is probably the weirdest software bug I've seen on Wikipedia, and that's saying something. :)
I was going over this article preparing to delete it because it was listed on VfD over a week. I see in the history that it purports to have been created by IP# 209.98.3.203, which is impossible. That is my IP address, it is static and I have had it continuously for over a year (longer than I've been on Wikipedia). And I did not create the article.
However, about the same time as the articles creation, I was working on fixing up another article, Hippeastrum, which originally contained (I think) the exact same text as this one. (Except for the title, and I didn't create the title either, I'd previously never even heard the term "belladonna lily.")
Is this related to the "edit conflict" problems I've seen mentioned in passing?
