Currently blocked User:BrunoMed remarked at the time of his Block that he apologised for hopping to a number of IP adresses. He did so here somewhere. The use of these addresses can be seen here. It is about the numbers 46.188.174.187 and 46.188.225.122. Now I noticed that numbers from the same range, this one and this one and this one and this one and also this one have still been editing articles about Croats (the issue BrunoMed was blocked over) and persons connected to Croat nationalism in the last two days since BrunoMed was blocked. As he explicitely apologized for the first two, I don't think the rest can really be a coincidence. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 13:04, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Here's an interesting one. Account created a little over a year ago and created a handful of Croatian settlement stubs, 14 of them in 13 minutes and looking like they were going through an alphabetical list, then stopped editing entirely (all this long before Filipz123 was editing). Just reappeared today at List of Croatian inventions and discoveries specifically reinserting Filipz123's exact edits by undo-button reverting users who have removed those edits.

Investigating a bit further, this account's old stub creations match other settlements in Category:Ghost towns in Croatia which contain only the text " is an uninhabited settlement in Croatia." or some appropriate alteration, plus an infobox, which were created by another user's socks. Examples:
 * Albertinovac, Amatovci, Baići created by Hódmezővásárhely (roughly A-C settlements in rough alpha order)
 * Doluš, Lisičine, Rogolje created by (picked up at D, also in rough alpha order)

 * despite my evidence that this user is a BrunoMed sock, it is also displaying telltale Filipz123 behaviour. Please check against this case, they may be related, and if not then I'll move this to the other case. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 12:06, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
