I first took notice of this person after this discussion at WP:ANI: The IP posting there wrote: They even blocked my old account, and where its supposed to say why I was blocked, they wrote "Quake" which they are refering to me. Since this IP made POV edits to the articles like duduk and kochari, it is quite obvious that it is the banned user evading his block, because Armoboy323 edit warred on the same article about duduk before he got banned. Note that the blocking admin wrote "quack" in the block rationale, which could mean that this user had more socks in the past. There are plenty of IPs, sometimes on different ISPs, but all pointing to almost the same geolocation, edit warring on above mentioned and other Armenia - Azerbaijan related articles. In my opinion, they all belong to one and the same person. It would be good if an admin made a judgment on this. Grand master  07:57, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

The article duduk has already been semi-protected 3 times this year due to IP disruption. The last semi-protection expired on 28 June, and on 1 July the IPs resumed the edit war. A long term semi-protection might be helpful. Grand master  18:54, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

– In my view, the IPs all seem to be the same person, so I am leaning towards declining this CheckUser request. Some other questions after looking at the IPs' contributions: Thoughts? –MuZemike 18:23, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The edit war at Karabakh Khanate seemed to have stopped. I don't think protection (semi or full) would make sense and would not be preventing anything.
 * There has not been any significant recent edits at Kochari or at Religion in Europe to likewise justify any administrative action at this time.
 * The only article right now that could possibly benefit from any protection would seem to be Duduk since rangeblocking is out of the question.

Armboy323 appears to be a sock of the banned user, judging by both the user name and contribs. Same style edit warring on duduk and other Armenia - Azerbaijan related articles. Vardan10 is another new account with contribs similar to those of Armoboy323. Grand master  07:01, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
