 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

User:Liamfoley has been warned and blocked for repeatedly inserting material backed by a patently unreliable source on Abortion in the Republic of Ireland, which is under an Arbcom 1rr restriction.

A new user, user:AliceGlenn, reinserted the material [] with the edit summary: "The deleted text concerns a bona fide poll conducted by a reputable polling firm for a well known lobby group".

The arguemnt and language are practically identical to User:Liamfoley's language in his talk-page posts, especially this edit: []. User:liamfoley also uses the term "bona fide" in a subsequent post: [].

The similarity in language is far too close to be coincidental. Can somebody look into this? Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 18:28, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Note that Alice Glenn is the name of a recently deceased Irish politician who strongly supported anti-abortion policies. Binksternet (talk) 19:07, 3 March 2012 (UTC)


 * The user is already aware that blocks, 1RR and the like apply to individuals and not to accounts, since Binksternet and I warned, a few days ago, a sockpuppet IP that he was using to make the same edits. There's no good faith to be presumed here and I do not doubt that these single-purpose accounts are the user attempting to circumvent the policies of a community he's stated he does not respect. If it quacks like a duck... –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 01:57, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

 * AliceGlenn has only edited once, so combined with the CU results I'm inclined to let this go for now. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:05, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
