User:Abidaoud has been pasting a WP:SOAPBOX rant entitled "Fact sheet for Lebanese-Phoenicians" into various articles, and for replacing the term "Arab" with "Lebanese" or "Phoenician" on various Lebanon-related articles

After he was warned for this, User:Lebanese-Phoenician popped up, pasted the same "Fact sheet" onto his talk page, and made the same kind of edit to Lebanese American:

The IP has been doing the same over a period of months:. These are the only kinds of edits coming from this IP address, aside from editing Abidaoud's user page:.

User:Dabidaoud has also edited Abidaoud's user page. His only other edit was to add an external link on John Makdessi (who is Lebanese Canadian). cab (call) 08:21, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

✅ the following are the same:
 * Dabidaoud appears ❌, but their edits do not overlap with the others. They may have used Dabidaoud, traveled, then used the other two.
 * No comment on the IP. TN X Man  12:47, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Lebanese-Phoenician is blocked, so the master is down to one account. Relist if the other account becomes active, or if there are new developments. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 23:06, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Abidaoud was blocked on 13 January 2016. While Phoeniciano made his/her latest edit on 10 Jan, the others edited after the block was installed, thereby potentially committing block evasion. About their editing characteristics, they: Also asking CheckUser what was meant by "no comment" on the IP in the previous SPI. HyperGaruda (talk) 09:28, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) stress the Phoenician ancestry of Lebanon (Abidaoud, which was copied by Phoeniciano; IP adding Phoenician all over the place)
 * 2) have something against Arab/Islamic influences in Lebanon (Abidaoud changing Arabic to Lebanese/Phoenician, IP adding that the Lebanese are not Arab but Phoencian, Phoeniciano changing Arabic to Aramaic/Syriac, Phoeniciano complaining about Islamic cultural terrorism at "Abu Dawood", Stonewally's image about an unsourced religion distribution in Lebanon)
 * 3) seem interested in the name Abidaoud/Abu Dawud/related transliterations (Abidaoud, Phoeniciano adding people named Abidaoud, Phoeniciano renaming the guy at Abu Dawood, Stonewally renaming the author of Sunan Abu Dawood, Stonewally renaming the guy at Abu Dawood with the same bogus edit summary as Phoeniciano, IP renaming the guy at Abu Daoud like Phoeniciano did)
 * 4) sometimes edit on each other's user pages (Abidaoud's, IP, Stonewally in Abidaoud's' sandbox about the name Abidaoud).

 * "No comment" is because CUs will not usually connect named accounts with IPs, due to privacy reasons. GABHello! 15:54, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

 * I've declined the CU request as the puppets in the archive are . However, if a clerk wants a check of the three new accounts, they can endorse it.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:35, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
 * - Abidaoud <> Abidaoud's connection is highly likely. Pheoniciano has a similar name to a previously confirmed sock (Lebanese Pheonician), and Stonewally edited along with the other accounts, especially in Abidaoud's sandbox -- for all this, I'm endorsing a check of the three named accounts amongst themselves. ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  17:29, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * All of these accounts are all operating from the same IP address, and according to the CU log, it's the same IP address that Abidaoud was using in 2011:

 * Note for future reference that the IP reported is the same one as in 2011, so it's highly likely to be a static IP. If future disruption continues, a longer IP block could be justified. ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  02:09, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
