Asdisis is a SPA editor who spent his time on Wikipedia promoting Croatian nationalism. His disruption at talk:Nikola Tesla is the stuff of legends. As the archives show, he has used sock and/or meat puppets to tip the scales in favor of his POV. Full disclosure: I have no opinion or position whatsoever about the Croatia vs. Serbia debate.

Following a brief respite after Asdisis, and his previous socks and proxies were block, it seems that we are back to the same promotional editing.


 * The alleged socks were created shortly after Asdisis came off of a two week block.
 * 06:34, August 15, 2014 - Asdisis was blocked for two weeks with an expiry time of 10:34, August 29, 2014
 * 00:56, August 30, 2014 - User account Kindly Deeds was created
 * 20:07, August 31, 2014 - User account MitMot was created


 * MitMot and KindlyDeeds have tag team edit warred on Nikola Tesla:


 * Asdisis and the two alleged socks spends a significant portion of their time pushing Croatian nationalism.
 * Kindly Deeds:
 * MitMot:


 * Similar edit summaries used by Kindly Deeds and MitMot

Although Asdisis has edited from proxies in the past, I am requesting a checkuser to hopefully identify sleeper accounts. I tried to query new user accounts created around the same time as these, but I keep getting a "2013 Lost connection to MySQL server during query (10.64.32.25)" error. - MrX 15:08, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

 * The following accounts are ✅ to each other and ❌ to Asdisis:
 * I've blocked the three accounts with no tags. The clerk should consider a separate SPI with Michael Cambridge as the master.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:11, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Based on the evidence submitted above, I've blocked 89.164.239.139 for five days. I see no point to blocking the other IPs irrespective of whether they are socks as they are too stale. The most recent, I believe, is two days ago, which may not seem like much, but many sock masters hop around quite a bit, and I don't think it will be effective. Even the block I just made is probably not going to help much, but at least it stops current disruption.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:01, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I copied this case here from Sockpuppet investigations/Asdisis, and am closing it now.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  20:49, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Michael Cambridge is banned, only allowed to return if he accepts a topic ban on Nikola Tesla and any other articles related Serbian/Croatian nationalism. Disruptive editing, commenting at the Nikola Tesla talk page (only interest). I am listing two other IPs as well just to note (.141 was blocked in October). Z oupan 07:53, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Might as well be indef .--Z oupan 08:02, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
