Evidence

edit war by suspected puppetmaster, followed by edits by Reggie Yoof, and preeceeded by Gollumfanclub. None of these users have edited more than two mainspacepages. All three Young Unionists, two (Buggerhed and Reggie Yoof) Traditional Unionist Voice, with the Gollumfanclub only having edited Young Unionists. The IP address has a similar edit history, although much before the other three. I am less sure that this is the same person as the other three, but it may be. ADDED Celphus appears to be the IP address when logged in.

Comments

I have an interest to declare - I am a member of the UUP. I believe that there is sockpuppetry at work here owing to the similar edit histories. This is the first time I have written one of these, so apologies for any deficiencies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Traditional unionist (talk • contribs)

There's not enough to block anybody yet, but there may be enough to file a request for checkuser. Jehochman ^Talk 14:37, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Given what's been tangentially discovered already, can I suggest you guys convert this to a RFCU request and mark it for my attention? There's more here than meets the eye and the fact that RL identifying has been involved means it should be treated as a serious matter - Alison ^❤ 12:42, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusions

I just found this request here now and this relates to an issue which occurred yesterday. It is  Confirmed by checkuser that Gollumfanclub (talk · contribs) had an account that was used abusively to reveal personal information regarding another editor. Both accounts have now been blocked indef. No comment as to the other accounts here - Alison ^❤ 12:16, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
