Albanian Historian and Albertgjokaj both use long 'ref names', add non-existing categories, and edit from same country. Creates same Albanian nationalist articles, and uses same references that are deemed unreliable (as per RS-board). I don't think its necessary to show diffs; an overview of the contributions clearly show that it is the same person. Z oupan 20:52, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I can't show diffs as they are article creations. Compare Ajet Sopi Bllata, Sadik Rama Gjurgjeviku (AH) and Bali Bajram Nokshiqi, Gjeto Coku (Ag). I repeat, see the recent contributions, article creations.--Z oupan 02:20, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Overall, see Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_202. Bali Bajram Nokshiqi (Ag) is a good example of use of unreliable sources. Duck.--Z oupan 03:28, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

 * - It is always necessary to show diffs.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  01:07, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
 * - Can you point out those exact "references that are deemed unreliable"?  Vanjagenije  (talk)  22:13, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
 * - I agree that the behavior is similar, so I'm asking one of the CUs to compare Albertgjokaj with Albanian Historian.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  15:28, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Albertgjokaj is ✅ to Albanian Historian. Mike V • Talk 16:36, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

 * - In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
 * 1) At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
 * 2) At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
 * 3) In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  08:11, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
 * . I'm endorsing CU check against . He created an article Kulla e Sheremetit about a house of Zhuj Selmani, and that article was created by Albanian Historian.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  20:58, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Same suspect article creations, still using unreliable sources. Note that the master has not accepted standard offer. Z oupan 02:38, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
 * For instance, GuriMazrekaj created Ram Sadri Metalija and Dan Derofci in the spirit of Albanian Historian's Ajet Sopi Bllata and Sadik Rama Gjurgjeviku. User still uses unreliable sources. Compare the ones used in any of the creations. Rrobt's referencing bears resemblance to the past socks.--Z oupan 02:32, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

 * - GuriMazrekaj should be checked against the master. His style of writing new article about Albanian history is strikingly similar to that of the master (,, vs. ). On the other hand, I don't see any evidence against Rrobt.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  08:13, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Creates same Albanian nationalist-themed articles with unreliable sources. Compare with other socks. Z oupan 15:49, 23 March 2017 (UTC) Btw,  was never concluded in the previous investigation, as it was stale.--Z oupan  16:08, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Creates articles about persons and battles from Albanian history, in the same style as the master. He also edits some article previously edited by the master (see deleted edits at Battle of Berane (1875)). Account created soon after previous one was blocked.
