There appears to be a case of long term multiple account abuse and disruptive editing at UN Watch (and to a lesser extent Hillel Neuer, the director of UN Watch). The latest account to be created is Fionnuala.Leclerc. The account was created following the Arbitration Enforcement case against Barcelona.women detailed here. It's clearly a sockpuppet. The new account illustrates fairly typical behavior by this person The edit also illustrates unusual behavior i.e. using the talk page. Whoever is behind these accounts is exceptionally shy when it comes to discussing things on the talk page and collaborating in general. Unfortunately, in this case the talk page entry is entirely misleading and neglects to mention, describe, justify, explain the wholesale changes made to the article involved in reverting it back to the previous sockpuppet's version. Before this latest account I tried adding information about the discretionary sanctions in the hope that it would change behavior. That didn't work. I tried to get the user (as Barcelona.women) to start using talk without success as you can see here. They simply won't engage in discussion. Another user noticed the socking, contacted me here and reported one of the accounts. Based of nature of the edits and the criteria described in Signs of sock puppetry, the accounts listed above may be sockpuppets although the confidence level varies. Could an admin investigate and try to put a stop to this once and for all ? Addressing issues on an account by account basis clearly isn't going to work as they will simply create a new account.

 * Reverting back to previous version by the same user or in this case a previous sockpuppet removing all intermediate edits by other users editing the article no matter how many there were. See diff
 * Misleading edit summaries e.g. 'initial description made representative; struck balance between various edits; See Discussion'. In reality the edit involved changing almost everything in the article as you can see in this diff. This kind of edit has occurred repeatedly in the UN Watch article over an extended period.

Editing style suggests that a new account Nigel Kincaid editing UN Watch page may be the latest sockpuppet of Jeanratelle, see Sockpuppet_investigations/Jeanratelle/Archive.  Sean.hoyland  - talk 05:27, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

 * - Seems pretty likely. Endorsing a checkuser to look for sleepers and to see if an IP block is possible. NW ( Talk ) 17:16, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

The IP is on the other side of the world from the others, but based on the RDNS, I am virtually certain that it is a proxy. The UAs and behavior match, so ✅. J.delanoy gabs adds 23:02, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Blocked and tagged. NW ( Talk ) 23:03, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
