- Evidence
- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mercury_Prize&diff=next&oldid=238020922 - this is UncleFisty piping Ireland to ROI
- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mercury_Prize&diff=238021500&oldid=238021059 - UncleFisty deleting a lot of a paragraph, simply to remove a reference to ROI.
- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mercury_Prize&diff=192815817&oldid=190918078 - 78.16.112.32 piping Ireland to ROI (78.16.xx.xx has many times been found to be Wikipeire).
- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Melvo&diff=prev&oldid=192801002 - this is 78.16.112.32 editing User:Melvo, a proven sock of User:Wikipéire.
- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Roy_Keane&diff=prev&oldid=238099853 piping Ireland at Roy Keene (and other Manchester United articles).
- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Roy_Keane&diff=237972710&oldid=237970131 User:Watchlistac (yesterday's Wikipeire sock) doing this at at the same article.
- This is 78.16.112.32 talking to 78.19.72.243:
It's gibberish already. Why would Ireland be called ROI ? Maybe if WP explained why, it would help the reader. I was aware my wording needed improvement, but I'm on the right track on this one. 78.19.72.243 (talk) 16:05, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree the article title is completely wrong, but the explanation of the term roi is correct in the article.78.16.112.32 (talk)
- 78.19.xx.xx from around this time was shows to be Wikipeire (see his suspected socks).
- Comments
A specific interest is piping Ireland to ROI in Manchester United articles. Wikipeire always had an interest in doing this at Manchester united specifically. --Matt Lewis (talk) 21:01, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Watchlistac is already blocked by Alison in Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Wikipéire (4th). I would suggest a CU to investigate. OhanaUnitedTalk page 17:22, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It's been done - you can close this one (UncleFisty is now tagged as a wikipeire sock). --Matt Lewis (talk) 17:37, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
