Each of these users have displayed identical characteristics from from their initial setting up of the accounts, to their quick burst of initial activity on subjects such as Polish, Czech, English nobility and Yugoslavian and New Yorkers biographies - then a long dormant period and then when "needed" in a AfD !vote or other RfC situation etc they appear again with a lot of editing especially on anti-Irish republican issues and then go dormant again.
 * Evidence

He has used the computers of a New York University library and another computer in Brooklyn, NY.


 * User:El chulito, Created the account 17:55, 26 November 2006, his first edit was to create a user page with an assorted number of user boxes, all alined to the right and never edits his user page again. He then makes 38 edits in a two hour period on US biographies such as, , , . Then the account goes dormant for two months with no edits and reappears 22:55, 20 January 2007 the following day he makes his first edit on a page regarding Irish republicanism here at the Fergal O'Hanlon page. From then on he makes various edits against myself on AfD's, reverts my work and must importantly makes this edit to the Kieran Flemming page where he removes the Irish language name of Kieran and the Irish word for Volnteer - Óglach. And also accuses me on attacking him on talk page note the capital letters. Then !votes on a number of Irish AfD's , , , . And that day (8th Feb) he stops editing and hasnt edited since.

He also used these IP's which I picked up when he sometimes signed over an edit he made when he wasnt signed in -


 * User:216.194.0.99
 * User:65.88.88.214
 * User:216.194.3.132 - these IP's will prove important as he has used computers from the same system again in his new accounts.


 * User:New identity, This was proven as a sock after I reported him this edit on the Kieran Flemming page - which was identical to the edit by El chulito, outlined above.


 * User:O'Donoghue, Follows a similar pattern to El chulito, Created his account with info boxes all alined to the right22:03, 15 August 2006 on his third edit, all aligned to the right and never edits his user page again.

He edits for one day only on a number of pages mostly bios such as, ,. Then the account goes dormant but again reappears 11:43, 1 March 2007 and has been attacking me since them despite the fact I have never come across him before and he made this trademark edit to the Kieran Flemming which he made two days ago. He made this edit which he left an IP almost identical to the above IP's here.


 * User:Conrad Falk, Started 10 Sept 06 makes one days editing then goes dormant and then reappears 9 Feb 07 - again identicial set up procedure to his other accounts.

He states he is Polish living in NYC and going to a NYC uni which ties in with the IP's above. First edits his user page with info boxes and alighed to the right, only once ever edits this page and then some Polish pages then nobility such as Isabel Maria Hamilton-Gordon, Marchioness of Aberdeen and Temair Stewart Gore-Browne Dame Diana Keppel Countess of Albemarle and then moves on to a number of pages on Irish republicanism including AfD's here, here,,  - please note that some these AfD's where not formed correctly and could not be found on the daily register but El chulito, Inthegloaming and Conrad Falk all voted on them.


 * User:Inthegloaming, registered 28 August and edited for a day then reappers six months later soley for AfD's that infact where not even registered on the daily AfD digest. See his short history here.


 * I think User:Veronica Mars fanatic could also be a sockpuppet of the above too. Craigy (talk) 00:18, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Conclusions

Similar interests in some cases, but I don't see anything conclusive. New Identity appears likely to be someone's sock, but I'm not sure who, and regardless it wasn't used to vote/consensus-stack or for any other prohibited use that I can see. The IP's are possible socks but again I don't see abuse, and what I can see on the remaining user accounts ranges from inconclusive to unlikely. Seraphimblade Talk to me 15:14, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
