The first piece of evidence is and. In these edits they vandalised with the new "Famous Wikipedia" account and moved pages with an odd naming pattern. This is similar to editing which has occurred on Wikidata with edits such as. At User talk:94.207.182.106 they state their name is "Arda Kara" and Arda is in the name of one of their accounts. The second account which appears to be impersonating me was blocked as a result of. The "Emir of Wikiversity" was blocked by User:Ajraddatz for "Cross-wiki abuse" on the same day as the "Emir of Wikidata" account, suggesting that they are also trying to evade a block. I request a user with Checkuser powers to verify that the new account is linked to either the blocked IP or at least the past accounts. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 14:44, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Update A new account User:Ruler of Wikipedia has been created, with a name that almost certainly meant to impersonate me. I suspected they are a sock as here they vandalise with the word "Khaboosh", which was used by the "Famous Wikipedia" account over here  . Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 14:47, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Another Update I have added User:Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart who is already blocked to the list, as well as User:Ardathekaraof who is likely a sock as indicated by the use of their name but also by looking at their edits.

 * This was a cross-wiki case that is apparently still active. There are quite a few more accounts than the ones listed, and if local CUs want I can forward the Meta and login results here, though I think you'll get the same thing. All accounts now locked at any rate. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 19:44, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

This is a mess. Cases shouldn't be opened with an IP as the master if there is a named account. Three of the accounts listed are unregistered. The others are blocked. I can't follow the evidence, which is in the form of links, not diffs as they should be, and links to other projects, which are generally irrelevant. Please sort this out.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:12, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry about using the IP as the master, but it was the account I noticed. Those three accounts registered on the global log. The others appear to have been blocked recently by User:DoRD, likely as a result of this investigation. Sorry for using links and not diffs. I have linked to other projects as this abuse goes cross-wiki, and the type of vandalism is similar amongst them and is part of what suggests their are one user to me.

 * Ardathekaraof is not globally locked.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:54, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Looks like it was on another IP. Locked now. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 21:01, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Other than not knowing who the master is, there's nothing left to do here. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 21:08, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

In this they vandalised in a way similar to that of their previous vandalism on Wikidata. Furthermore the name is also similar to User:Ardathekaraof, which means they are evading the block. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 13:47, 6 December 2016 (UTC) Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 13:47, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Update They appeared to have edited yet another associated page with this, on the new account User:1ofthe2. This account also states they are from Turkey, which matches up with what the other accounts have said. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 14:48, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

 * It would help enormously if you gave diffs for relevant edits by earlier accounts. Since you evidently have experience of this editor, you could probably find such diffs much more easily and quickly than someone else without prior knowledge, who might have to spend a lot of time searching through editing histories to find the evidence. As it happens, before I saw this sockpuppet case I was already considering whether to block 1ofthe2 as a vandalism-only account. Little Ardy appears to be the same person, so I shall block them both. Whether they are the same person as previous sockpuppets I don't know, but from what I have seen they may well be.
