These three have been editing articles lately that have relations to the Greek Macedonian conflict. The IP is also in the habit of changing statistics on pages on ethnic groups. Two of their names begin with 99. Here are their respective user contribution pages: for 99 harry and this one for the first IP and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/199.7.157.82 this one for the second IP. I,ve added this report earlier for the first IP. I have since began to suspect that a second IP with the same modus operandum (basically editing on matters regarding the Greek Macedonian conflict with a special interest for statitics on ethnic groups and refusing to engage in talk) is also involved. I'm not sure if I can just add this to the original request or if I should make an entirely new one. I've chosen the first action. If that's wrong, let me know please. I don't "know" this, but I'm reporting a suspicion. The most recent IP seems to know about about my earlier actions and comments towards the others after just 4 edits on Wikipedia ever...

And now we have another addition. this user, who has blanked the whole section, An instance I will treat as [[WP:Vandalism]. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 23:55, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

And we have another one here. They do try not to bother with 3RR I must say. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 02:13, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

I've been treating the section blanking as vandalism. I will stop bothering with the article involved now. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 02:28, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

I have added another five socks that are active on the Macedonians (Greeks) article as can be seen here, here (this user has since been banned so I will invoke block evasion in the future), here, here, here, here, and finally here. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 14:04, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

99.243.33.88 - I have seen 99harry's posts on a few pages, but I am not at all related to that account. Rather, my edits focus on removing wording or statistics that don't make sense. As examples, such as explanations that I provided in edits; 1. Greece didn't force a democratically voted decision by the Macedonian parliament to modify its flag. It only pressured that decision. 2. Using the wording "other" shows the recognition that Macedonia was considered an ancient Greek kingdom/state, as per its own Wikipedia page. 3. The changing of statistics reflects the exact ethnic Macedonian minority in Greece, rather than the total Slavic population, which previous edits confused. I tried to come to an understandable middle ground with your edits, but you are the one which originally reverted mine with wording that doesn't make any sense or have any merit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.243.33.88 (talk) 19:51, 31 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Which article is this? Alexis Ivanov (talk) 02:53, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * IPs probably belong to the same person, but I can't find conclusive evidence that 99 harry is the master. Articles are protected, so I think we can close this case with no action.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  21:03, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
