Afrika paprika

This seems to be the 13:th sock of this banned user. User:Tar-Elenion was banned on 14 March 2007, User:No.13 started editing on 4 May 2007. -- Petri Krohn 03:06, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. User Petri Krohn seems to have something personal against me. I have nothing against this report as I am sure it will prove him wrong. I would only like to point out that this might be his revenge for this. --No.13 11:28, 3 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment. User:Petri Krohn has engaged himself in an edit-war, behaving  against  wiki-rules. In fact, there he made a revert on the article Jakov Mikalja, without talking/discussing with other interested parties on the Talk:Jakov Mikalja, neither explaining his action later on that page... And first of all, he  ignored  the bunch (page is 54 KB long) of arguments and references with links posted there.  His comment with revert was "restored version by User:Giovanni Giove - reverted etnic POV-pushing". In fact, there Petri Krohn sided with vandal user:Giovanni Giove (accused by many for his ignorance toward wiki-rules in article editing; he was 70 times warned not to edit-war, see his talk page). I warned him for that  on his talk page, that he can't do that. He never answered. It seems that Petri Krohn has something against Croatian users. Kubura 13:07, 3 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment. I was marked to be an Afrika Paprika sockpuppet by user:Giovanni Giove first time I disputed his edits on the talk page of Zadar article and that was the only reason. It seems that this Paprika Afrika sockpuppetry is used by several users as a tool for discreditation of Croatian users. Zenanarh 08:01, 4 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment. Interesting is, that user:Petri Krohn sided with user:Giovanni Giove on the article Jakov Mikalja (edit-war events described above). And they both tried to discredit the opponent user:Zenanarh with sockpuppetry... or... are they really "both"? Are Petri Krohn and Giovanni Giove the same person? Kubura 10:20, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

that No. 13 is Afrika Paprika. Mackensen (talk) 18:01, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Likely enough to block as a sock and revert edits? -- But | seriously | folks   19:34, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Mackensen can you please answer. I am very sure I am not this person so what led you to this conclusion and what does it means? Can the data which led you to this be made public? --No.13 20:36, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * No, the checkuser tool cannot be made public. It is Likely that you, No.13 are banned user AP. Also, if you have any questions, please contact Mackensen by e-mail or on his talk page. Thanks.  Mi r a n da   21:26, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Why not? If I am giving my consent why can't it be public? I want to know what exactly made Mackensen to conclude I am this person. Also I have already sent an email to Mackensen and I have already contacted him on his talk page, he didn't answer neither one, why? --No.13 22:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Likely enough. Same IP range as users previously blocked as a sockpuppet of said user. Mackensen (talk) 21:39, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Could you specify? Can the similar IP range be enough? I mean it is somewhat expected for me and this user to have same IP range if we both are in Croatia, right? --No.13 22:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * There, I checked my IP with my provider and it is 89.172.224.215, looking at this list and this list I don't see my IP anywhere. Yes some are very similar, yet that is not proof. I have seen numerous anonymous users with similar IP ranges. Just check Croatia, on history page you can find at least two different users with the same IP range as mine and none of them is me and I am sure none of them is Afrika paprika, Tar-Elenion or whoever. --No.13 22:43, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Afrika paprika





 * Code letter: F

Tar-Elenion has expressed a rather interesting amount of similarity with User:Afrika paprika, a community-banned user (for edit-warring, sock-puppetry, trolling, incivility and numerous personal attacks). I suspect that User:Tar-Elenion might be his (yet another) account [various allegations like silence when compared to him and an anon's encouraging that he indeed is Afrika paprika). And he appeared the moment Afrika disappeared. I have written an IP just (just above Tar) that Elenion used for certain. The IPs below are most fresh IPs of Afrika (I figured you'd need fresh ones, since the original account was indef-blocked a long time ago). --PaxEquilibrium 16:31, 8 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Restarting this because user was inactive during the previous one (so it was inconclusive). --PaxEquilibrium 16:34, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * All the IPs you gave, and all the IPs Tar uses, are on one /16 block, which probably isn't surprising. But this is really one for duck testing, no? --jpgordon&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710; 17:28, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Tar-Elenion Afrika paprika has no recent edits. I can't disclose the IPs because of the privacy policy. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 21:51, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Afrika paprika



 * Code letter: F

I am making this RFCU request primarily to find out if Factanista is yet another sockpuppet of Afrika (a community-banned troll). He mysteriously continued editing after Afrika got banned and during our discussion we used the word "Slavo-Serbian" - used precisely a day later by Afrika when he threated that Jesus will "fuck" (pardon his french) my mother on my talk page through another sockpuppet. If the results are confirmed - then Factanista may well be another of his attempts to avoid ban (not unusual so far) - but the two seem to indeed differ a lot in their edits, so it's possible that Factanista is not Afrika's sockpuppet - however - better safe than sorry I say (and the two share similar interests). --PaxEquilibrium 17:04, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Clerks, could you remove this discussion to the talk page, and give us a heads up when it's finished so we can make a decision here. Thanks, Essjay   ( Talk )  07:18, 3 December 2006 (UTC)


 * discussion moved to talk (link). Daniel.Bryant [ T · C ] 08:49, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

User:Afrika paprika had been blocked several hours ago. After continously revert-warring on Doclea, Pagania, Travunia and Zachlumia; a mysterious User:Zrinski appears, possibly as reinforcements to his cause, after he saw that he must "bypass" WP:3RR (compare his contribs with Zrinski's). Confirmation is needed. HolyRomanEmperor 12:17, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Mackensen (talk) 01:26, 27 September 2006 (UTC)


 * May I know the reason of the decision? --HolyRomanEmperor 13:28, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
