It seems both of these accounts push a particular POV in historical articles about ancient Romania. Very similar edit summaries and articles edited, e.g., , ,. See also this thread for a little background. I suspect both these accounts are socks of some banned Romanian sockmaster, but there's more than one of those, and I can't say for sure which one is involved here.

Update: User:Dahn suggested in that thread the sockmaster appears to be the banned User:Dacodava based on the editing interests. Pcap ping  20:59, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Conclusions
Socks blocked and tagged as socks of User:Dacodava (which is now what this SPI case is under). Behavioral evidence looks close enough to link the confirmed socks with the stale sockmaster. –MuZemike 03:39, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Evidence submitted by MuZemike
Per User talk:MuZemike, the editing patterns seem to clearly indicate that they are reincarnations of User:Dacodava, as suspected by the person who brought up the suspicion. –MuZemike 18:27, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Self-endorsing for CheckUser attention as we have multiple accounts popping up in short order, which means there is a likelihood of sleepers and probably some IP(s) that needs hardblocking. –MuZemike 18:27, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Clear overlap in diverse topic interest between confirmed socks and Readder, with very similar POV and signature poor articulation in English, (though with a skewed grasp of Wiki procedures}. Readder has edited from the IP range 79.112.0.0 - 79.112.127.255, as is patently obvious from this edit sequence on my TP. This sequence is a clear 'bad cop, bad cop' exchange, also blindingly obvious. I can elaborate on the similarities between accounts, registered and IP, if considered necessary.

 * I immediately thought Readder to be Dacodava's sock, mainly because of his trademark Holocaust denial - Dacodava was simply unable to produce two posts without one being antisemitic, and I suppose that Readder's comments about "zionists etc." on Talk:Iași fall into that category. Without going into the grammatical similarities and other particularisms, I will show you the most recent shibboleth: here is Dacodava sockpuppet User:Blurall; here is Dacodava sockuppet User:Brantfordcan; here is Dacodava sockpuppet User:Oneinthemillions. And here is Readder. Also note how "blur all", "one in the millions" and "re-adder" all seem to be messages for the wikipedia project. Dahn (talk) 22:37, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
