  • Code letter: D and G.

The accounts were used for votestacking in the following AfDs:

The editor has seemingly used a series of sockpuppets in succession, with slight overlap on occasion. The timeline of accounts and contributions is as follows:

  • El chulito (talk · contribs) - 22:55, 20 January 2007 - 16:41, 8 February 2007
  • Jill Teed (talk · contribs) - 21:59, 8 February 2007 - 18:31, 9 February 2007
  • Inthegloaming (talk · contribs) - 14:10, 9 February 2007 - 14:55, 9 February 2007
  • Conrad Falk (talk · contribs) - 20:47, 9 February 2007 - 02:10, 17 February 2007
  • Veronica Mars fanatic (talk · contribs) - 01:18, 18 February 2007 - 00:05, 1 March 2007
  • O'Donoghue (talk · contribs) - 11:43, 1 March 2007 - 00:43, 23 March 2007
  • Jill Teed (talk · contribs) - 11:54, 23 March 2007 - current

Almost all accounts use a non-standard format for links, in that external links are displayed like this - ([1]). Examples - O'Donoghue, Jill Teed, El chulito, Veronica Mars fanatic, Conrad Falk. The editor also edits anonymously from 216.194 prefixed IPs as can be seen by this previous ANI report. User:Inthegloaming recently made his first contribution since mid-February when he appeared to vote on multiple Irish republican related AfDs, editing the Hayley Westenra article. Shortly before that the article was edited twice by a 216.194 prefixed IP, the first of which introduced the unusual link formatting near the bottom of the 'International success' section.

Clerk note: reformated a bit and archived the previous case -- lucasbfr talk 17:12, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Clerk note: removed the IP since checkusers won't comment on it. Moved the AfD part at the top of the request. -- lucasbfr talk 17:20, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Confirmed. Jill Teed matches Inthegloaming and O'Donaghue and Conrad Falk. El chulito and Veronica... are stale. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 21:52, 2 April 2007 (UTC)


[edit] O'Donoghue

  • Code letter: G.

I believe this editor is using a series of accounts and IPs to avoid scrutiny from other editors, forbidden under WP:SOCK. Both User:Jill Teed and User:O'Donoghue have edited the Daniel O'Connell article to include the phrase "majoritarianist and intimidatory " - diffs [2] [3]. User:O'Donoghue's last contribution was at 00:43, 23 March 2007, then User:Jill Teed returned to contributing at 11:39, 23 March 2007 having not made a contribution since 18:31, 9 February 2007. Both accounts (and the IPs) use an usual format for links and references, often removing footnotes and changing the format to look like this - ([4]). Examples - [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18]. Thanks. One Night In Hackney303 22:31, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
