I don't think the evidence presented is sufficient to tie the three named accounts and the IP together. However, I think the evidence rather conclusively ties Adrianisv, who is the oldest account here, to the IP. I've been reviewing Adrianisv's edits for the last 15 minutes because of a report filed against them at WP:ANEW. The most obvious oddity is that there is a 10-year gap in their editing between 2011, when the account was created and edited for a bit, and 2021, when most of the activity has taken place ... on just one article. I am suspicious that Adrianisv is User:Iaaasi. However, I am not familiar with that case, and most of the editors most heavily involved years ago no longer edit at en.wiki. In addition, there were many checks run back in 2011, and many other accounts were uncovered, but not Adrianisv. As for this report, I think more diffs need to be presented comparing accounts to justify a check.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:37, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Regarding Adrianisv and the IP, I'm not convinced this was an attempt at WP:ILLEGIT behavior, it could have just been something that had they not already been blocked would have merited no more than uw-login. So, I'm going to close this for now.  If the IP comes back to life, that would be clear block evasion. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:43, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

New account carrying on the same disruption at Night Attack at Târgoviște straight after Bruhsmillah was blocked. Contributions intersection also includes articles Hungarian–Romanian War, Hunyadi family and Uprising of Asen and Peter. Considered those topics would probably be quite niche and Bruhsmillah has only edited 23 pages total (in all namespaces) and ElDiabloChico 12 pages total (ditto) that's quite an intersection.

 * would I be correct in assuming that when your current two-week block of the master account expires this will effectively remove the previous indefinite block on editing article space? If so, that would seem a strange reward for edit warring on the exact same issue on the exact same article that caused the article space block to begin with? FDW777 (talk) 19:35, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
 * FDW777 - Good question! If this user is indefinitely partially-blocked from editing the article space, I think that the user should just be fully blocked indefinitely at this point. I'm going to update the block and make it an indefinite one.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   21:26, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
 * just to remind you that you still need to re-apply this block. Thank you. FDW777 (talk) 07:27, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I think there's some confusion about what has done, which may be dependent on the original CU results. This specific part of the case was the relationship between ElDiabloChico and Bruhsmillah, the  case above is the one that includes Adrianisv. If ElDiabloChico = Adrianisv = Bruhsmillah, then I understand, although we've still got the situation where Bruhsmillah's original indefinite article block has been converted into a two week block, and that block needs amending. FDW777 (talk) 13:09, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

would it be possible for you to unblock Adrianisv then? My evidence was completely unrelated to them. My evidence was that Bruhsmillah created the ElDiabloChico sockpuppet in order to carry on an edit war, due to Bruhsmillah being indefinitely blocked from article space. So it seems strange that Adrianisv's one-week block for edit warring on a wholly different article has been increased for no reason. Or is there something I'm missing here? FDW777 (talk) 07:13, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
 * FDW777 - Sure, ✅.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   07:16, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Account created a couple of days after their previous sockpuppet was blocked, returning to change the result at like their ElDiabloChico sockpuppet did as well as the master account Bruhsmillah. FDW777 (talk) 07:20, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Two new accounts which are targeting articles about Roman Emperors from the Balkans with one single edit: to add the term "romanized Illyrian" Both accounts followed cleanup edits I placed at Anastasius and Constantius. And they have accounts in only one other wiki: it.wikipedia Maleschreiber (talk) 13:43, 7 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Solomon155 was created on November 7 after EdJohnston semi-protected Anastasius because it was targeted by a particular IP on November 6 . Their edits were adding the term "romanized" and didn't respond to any questions by other editors. Semi-protection forced them to create an account. Both accounts are used to edit-war at two articles after I filed the report.--Maleschreiber (talk) 18:12, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

 * I think Vladdy Daddy's lapdog is a slur meant for the Oxford historian Tudor V. Georgescu, whose father was called Vlad, I guess he conflated me with the historian, since we have very similar names. Anyway, speaking of Wikipedia and Romanian history, it is hard to construe it as anything else. Construing it as a reference to Vlad the Impaler does not make sense. tgeorgescu (talk) 03:14, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
