- Supporting evidence: I was alerted by this edit to Wales by Petitspois. I think this is clearly Wikipéire (talk · contribs) using a sock to avoid 3RR again (as he/she did on Wales with Melvo, which was banned here). I'm suspicious of the editors' shared history (Wales, Hard Fi and a string of the band "Editors" diffs here) - the coincidence of a one-off edit happening on Wales with a unique editor with this particular and idiosyncratic history is just too unlikely. People are getting paranoid about IP's on British Isles too: 62.49.20.179 had an interest in Editors, Hard Fi and constituent country (an article central to the revert Petitspois is involved in). Footballers is another interest (the common interests in general are a few bands, 'UK/Ireland issues' and footballers). 78.16.57.194 from Editors has an interest in re-naming Rep of Ireland as "Ireland" - which is Wikipéire's most common pursuit. Looking down the Editors page history (though probably less important), 78.16.114.193 shows coincidentally-timed combined-interest band edits too, as does 124.168.196.226.
- I was alerted to the "78.16.xx.xx" range by the admin Gb (talk · contribs) on our Talk pages me/ him (I alerted GB as he originally banned Wikipéires sock Melvo (talk · contribs)). 78.16.126.36 appears on the British Isles Talk page - both it's comments are aimed at myself, with one about Wales not being a real country (a Wikipéire argument in Wales - but not particularly relevant for the British Isles page the IP commented on). I have argued with Wikipéire on Wales about the 'country' issue. Wikipéire argued that Wales isn't an official country, and the only other editor who argued this with him (User:Gozitancrabz), turned out to be a sock of the banned user User:Iamandrewrice.
- There are more-prevalent 78.19.xx.xx's on British Isles, but I know too little about IP's to know if the number is strictly 'in range' with "78.16.xx.xx". 78.19.213.117 has trolled my Talk page in the section that I was commenting to Wikipéire, 78.19.238.101 has similar views, and both 78.19.55.51 and 78.19.204.211 have been in a 3RR dispute and reported me for 3RR'ing (I was partly confused by the IP joining in and was let off the hook, fortunately). 78.19.222.154 and Wikipéire have commented next to each other in British Isles, backing each other up. 78.19.13.108 has asked me an unusual (and out of the blue) question about Wales and Anglesey in British Isles - where the debate is typically about the British Isles containing Ireland. I accept that '78.19.xx.xx' could possibly be someone else supporting Wikipéire (IP's do get used a lot on British Isles), but significant elements are clearly here too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matt Lewis (talk • contribs)
Clerk note: It would be great if you could provide evidences of clear 3RR violations (4 diffs in less than 24 hours), and the other evidences of trolling. Thanks! -- lucasbfr talk 06:51, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Note: - I'm familiar with the background to all this British Isles trouble, as it falls under the auspices of the Troubles arbcom.
