Recently PublicityIreland was blocked for having an unsuitable username, promo and WP:PAID (after claiming to be an PR-firm working on behalf of Renua. After being blocked it changed its story, leading to the closure of it talk page.

On the first of January user:Samdtho315 was registered. Within a few minutes it started making the same type of edits as PublicityIreland did before.

On 3 January user:Ire2021 was registered. And within minutes, it made a similar edit as the two accounts before.

This too much of an coincidence. I have the idea that this is a sockfarm in combination with paid editing. The Banner talk 12:57, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Seems to me the socking case based on behavior is pretty strong. All three accounts have tripped filter 61 when editing the Renua article. For example, this edit, removing a claim that a certain party is far-right. EdJohnston (talk) 18:51, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
