Istinar is currently blocked from editing the article. Istinitost's first two edits to the article are effectively a revert to Istinar's version of the article, the only differences being some formatting fixes (those fixes were done in this edit by a different editor). Obviously the usernames are rather similar as well. FDW777 (talk) 08:03, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Oh I am suspected to be Istinar's second account? I understand why someone would think this, I actually made this account so I could revert propaganda edits on Battle of Kosovo page. I checked the edit history before making an account to see how and what to change and saw Istinar's changes, I guess that inspired my username Istinitost (meaning "truthfulness" in Serbian). Don't know how else I can prove this, I hope you can check the IP and the fact I'm using my phone (I presume not a lot of people edit using phone instead of PC). I hope I wrote this in a right place lol. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Istinitost (talk • contribs)


 * The usernames have the same meaning in Serbian. The suspected sock was created and reverted on Battle of Kosovo to Istinar's version, after the latter was blocked from editing there. The same kind of Serb nationalist POV has been pushed by both accounts on other articles as well. It seems that the person thinks that CU can not make a connection if they edit with different devices. Ktrimi991 (talk) 13:11, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Istinitost has been blocked indefinitely by - sock or not, the battleground mentality and insults were enough. If CU confirms the obvious, I suggest that Istinar is blocked indefinitely rather than a week or so, as has been done in some other cases of socking by other sock masters. WP:NOTHERE applies very well on this account. Ktrimi991 (talk) 13:39, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

 * . Frankly, it : the timing of the new account is just too suspicious. The following sleeper account is ✅ to Istinitost: . I will be re-blocking Istinar indefinitely. Closing. Mz7 (talk) 02:11, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
