Main IP: User:86.42.119.12

August 26th - September 11th, 01:03 (but no futher edits after being accused of being Wikipéire here).

  • The first edit was on August 26th - which was the day User:Pureditor was exposed as bing a sock of Wikipéire here. - State & Canada (both per Wikipéire) [2], many Irish nationality edits etc, British Isles etc. Possibly nothing outside of known interest.

Todays editing:

12th September edits: (a uninterupted line - all Wikipeire)

Most recent common interests: Pipe-linking Republic of Ireland to Ireland, as always. Interest in Mooretwin's talk page, and the British Isles talk page. Personalised comments to Matt Lewis. General legality of nationality.

Comments

User Wikipére, a lon-time puppet master, is finally now just using a group of IP addresses it seems. is last checkuser (a few days ago) is Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Ovlem.

Recent case:

Checkuser evidence.
All the above accounts/IPs are  Confirmed, except 86.42.119.12 which is  Unlikely and 78.152.255.89 which is  Possible. Revealing IP information here per checkuser policy due to egregious abuse. And yes, he's also logging in and out constantly, mostly to edit-war with Mooretwin (calling his edits 'vandalism') - Alison ❤ 20:57, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
So User:86.42.119.12 is the wrong part of Dublin? This is useful to know when cross checking times. And how does he get from 78.16 to 213.202 - is that a nearby location?--Matt Lewis (talk) 21:18, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Don't tell me - you can't divulge! --Matt Lewis (talk) 21:27, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Correct! No technical stuff. Bad enough that I'm confirming IPs-to-editors (it's warranted here, IMO) but that's all you can have, sorry! - Alison ❤ 21:43, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
User:Watchlistac has just MOVED two Ireland articles - what's going on, guys? --Matt Lewis (talk) 15:45, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Conclusions

User:Watchlistac IS STILL DISRUPTING! COME ON! --Matt Lewis (talk) 15:45, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Matt, chill out. I'm only checkuser here. I don't like blocking accounts I've been involved in checkusering, unless it's egregious (like Grawp). Best that someone else like a RFCU clerk do it. In this case, nobody blocked the sock account, so I went ahead and did it anyways - Alison ❤ 07:04, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I know what the score is - it's lack of available hands. --Matt Lewis (talk) 14:27, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Since Alison did it already, case closed. OhanaUnitedTalk page 17:19, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
