User has been generally unhelpful, but in particular has added fabricated claims as to the population rank of Cardiff. User's last edit was 17:35, 22 December 2007. The IP's first edit was 22:55, 23 December 2007. Welshleprechaun appears to have a clear interest in articles related to "Cardiff, the capital of Wales" (a point they seem insistent on including in any article mentioning the city), and the IP contributions are entirely to articles on the same subject - even edits to the article on large urban areas in the EU was edited with a nationalist POV, tagging Cardiff on to the top 5 list for growth with a Welsh rather than a UK flag, as is convention (later reverted as unsourced).
 * Evidence

In particular, WL invents a population ranking, including a bogus citation to back it up (the documents cited make no mention of "11th" anywhere) - WL adds this information at 19:01, 14 December 2007, 15:21, 16 December 2007, 17:19, 22 December 2007 (and possibly earlier).

WL having "gone away" for Christmas, the IP then re-adds this falsified information after it is removed - 09:19, 26 December 2007 12:13, 26 December 2007. I suspect that acts of vandalism were carried out in an attempt to mask the above.


 * Comments

I find this inconclusive. It look more like vandalism, which should be reported to WP:AIV after they're warned. Welshleprechaun should have been told of this SSP case too. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 00:09, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
