More attempts to whitewash Patrick Treacy, the sock master's main editing focus. MrOllie (talk) 11:53, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Editor has stated on their talk page that they're being employed by Treacy. If this isn't sockpuppety (I still believe that is likely) it is definitely meatpuppetry. MrOllie (talk) 12:39, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am not a sockpuppet. I just removed the info because there is no reference to back it up. Please check https://www.echolive.ie/corknews/arid-40133231.html. Aareod (talk) 11:56, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments[edit]

Possible based on past checks. Regarding the disputed info, I'm not sure that "they didn't formally retract it" is sufficient rationale to use an archived article that was removed by its publisher from a still-active publication, and I have not found any other sources. I am removing the claim per WP:BLPREMOVE and will list for discussion at WP:BLPN. The sock, however, is Blocked and tagged. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 15:49, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
