See contribs of both users. Imorthodox23 appeared recently as a relentless edit-warring machine, altering fully referenced spellings and other info on various Ancient Anatolia and Georgia related articles and templates. Has been reverted by myself and Kwamikagami, refuses to discuss or support his changes with sources. Has also used IP addresses to make identical changes. Today he's back on all the same articles as newly created Aniceday28, probably not a very smart move on his part. Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 16:52, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

 * They've now both started blanking this very SPI. I've blocked the sockpuppet indefinitely and the master for a week for using the sockpuppet to edit war. I'm also going to block involved too. Closing. Reaper Eternal (talk) 17:18, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * This user's sockpuppet, User:Aniceday28 was permablocked a week ago. However, the main account and his IP address were blocked for only one week.  Now that their week-long blocks have expired, both the main account and the IP sockpuppets have returned, continuing the very same relentless, silent edit warring, while refusing to engage in the least discussion of their alterations to the data.

The IP socks engaged in the edit warring are:



As well as what seems to be the main account,



Thank you for your attention to this situation. Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 18:07, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Note that another significant part of this editor's modus operandi is to blank out this very SPI page repeatedly, as may be seen from the history tab to this SPI page. Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 18:31, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Imorthodox23 has had a variety of sockpuppets since their block. Imorthodox23 was blocked on 13 May, this account first edited on 27 May. The accounts share a large overlap in articles, with the same focus on Georgian history, ethnicity, people, language. Both change the orders (sometimes away from alphabetical) of other things without ever presenting a reason (eg ImNera), a very odd pattern. A common one is the specific order Georgia-Armenia-Azerbaijan is very telling, eg: Im1Im2Nera 1Nera 2. CMD (talk) 19:34, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Nera456 has continued to follow the same pattern of rearranging subjects in lists without any explanation. Here's another situation in which ImOrthodox's edits, which were reverted, were more or less restored by Nera, although they did make further changes. CMD (talk) 12:28, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

This was identified as an obvious sock of Imorthodox23 a couple weeks ago, but until now he/she has been laying relatively low. Last night, he/she came back and reverted every single one of his/her insignificant edit wars (over minor spellings, alphabetic orders, and the like) to the Imorthodox23 version, in a show of defiance. Note that in recent weeks there has been a succession of these socks for the purposes of block evasion and edit warring, and they always silently revert to the Imorthodox23 versions without a word of explanation or discussion.

Nera456, Spetty218, Schoolguy236, and Aniceday28 from one of the earlier SPIs are all ✅ as Imorthodox23 with User:Alekox as a sleeper. All accounts are blocked save for the unused Alekox account.--Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 15:32, 21 June 2013 (UTC) Tagged, already blocked.&mdash;Kww(talk) 00:30, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
