O'Donoghue



 * Code letter: D and G.

The accounts were used for votestacking in the following AfDs:


 * Seamus Donnelly
 * Tony Gormley
 * Eugene Kelly
 * Patrick Kelly
 * Gerry O'Callaghan
 * Declan Arthurs

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:


 * - 22:55, 20 January 2007 - 16:41, 8 February 2007
 * - 21:59, 8 February 2007 - 18:31, 9 February 2007
 * - 14:10, 9 February 2007 - 14:55, 9 February 2007
 * - 20:47, 9 February 2007 - 02:10, 17 February 2007
 * - 01:18, 18 February 2007 - 00:05, 1 March 2007
 * - 11:43, 1 March 2007 - 00:43, 23 March 2007
 * - 11:54, 23 March 2007 - current

Almost all accounts use a non-standard format for links, in that external links are displayed like this -. 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.

 * reformated a bit and archived the previous case -- lucasbfr talk 17:12, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 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)


 * ✅. Jill Teed matches Inthegloaming and O'Donaghue and Conrad Falk. El chulito and Veronica... are stale. --jpgordon&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710; 21:52, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

O'Donoghue




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. 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 -. Examples -. Thanks.
