Recently, an editor known as was indefinitely blocked for disruptive editing. His talk page access was revoked soon afterwards. Now, it seems that he's returned under a new account. I'm certain of this for a few reasons. For one, his speech patterns were very distinctive, and this new account clearly possesses them. I'll link two passages. They may not seem directly connected, but pay attention to the way their written. First, we have one of the long rambling statements that was characteristic of Mondolkiri1. Secondly, we have this recent rambling by the new account, which is remarkably similar. This leads me to my next point. Note that this new editor's interests are concentrated on three things: aviation, the Donbass war, and ISIL. These were Mondolkiri1's primary interests (aviation and Donbass, ISIL). I think it is fairly obvious that this is Mondolkiri1, having known him for a while. He isn't being disruptive with this new account. I'd like to see him come back properly, as he was a good editor. However, socking is not the correct way to go about it, for obvious reasons. RGloucester — ☎ 05:06, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Mondolkiri1 had his account locked on all Wikimedia projects for making death threats. It seems that he has returned, in the form of Viet-hoian1. I haven't been around much lately, otherwise I would've caught this earlier. The style is exactly the same. Let's start by looking at Mondolkiri's old user page. Notice that it says he is from Setúbal. Notice that the Viet-hoian1 account has made many edits to the page for that city. Notice that Mondolkiri said his interests were in aviation and Donbass, and notice that Viet-hoian1 has made extensive edits to these areas. Specifically look at the page Turkish Airlines destinations, which has seen extensive editing by both the Mondolkiri1 and Viet-hoian1 accounts. Viet-hoian1's mention of the Spanish Wikipedia is where I caught on, this time. Mondolkiri1 previously expressed a strong distaste for "anglo-saxonic bias", and escaped to the Spanish Wikipedia after he was indefinitely blocked here. That continued until his account was locked over all Wikimedia projects. I hope this can be dealt with swiftly via checkuser, so that this account can be locked by a bureaucrat.

 * – As the steward who locked Mondolkiri1's account, perhaps you can keep an eye on this situation? RGloucester  — ☎ 00:56, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I can't remember the facts of this off-hand.  MBisanz  talk 23:08, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I requested assistance from you in March of this year. See this message, which I placed on your talk page then. You subsequently locked Mondolkiri1's account. RGloucester  — ☎ 00:40, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I did that based on the threat, not based on checking the account, so sorry I can't be of more help here.  MBisanz  talk 12:51, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * That's not what I meant. If the SPI closes as linking these accounts (as it seems it will), would not Viet-hoian1 also be globally locked? Or will this user, who is evading the global lock, be able to continue to edit on other Wikipedias, as he does now? RGloucester  — ☎ 12:59, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Now I understand. Yes, I would lock the account if the SPI is confirmed.  MBisanz  talk 14:36, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks. It seems that I was correct. RGloucester  — ☎ 23:58, 28 August 2015 (UTC)


 * One more note. I hadn't bothered to look before, but here's the clincher. Viet-hoian1's user page on the Spanish Wikipedia is an exact copy of Mondolkiri1's old English Wikipedia page, which I linked above. RGloucester  — ☎ 00:52, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
 * To note, Viet-hoian1 changed his Spanish Wikipedia user page, so he's clearly aware of what's going on here. RGloucester  — ☎ 00:31, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Please add who has admitted to being the same user per their talk page. For further evidence of the similarity in English language idiosyncrasies, tone and demeanour, please see this thread on my talk page. Thanks. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 01:32, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

 * It is quite obvious that Viet-hoian1 and Viet-hoian2 are the same person, however, all previous CU data is . Courcelles (talk) 07:52, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Please, indef Viet-hoian1 and Viet-hoian2 as obvious socks of Mondolkiri1. The evidence presented above by RGloucester is convincing.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  19:12, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I've upped 's block to indef and also blocked per the evidence presented here. Closing.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots  21:29, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

I've been suspicious of this account for a while now (was just giving it a bit of WP:ROPE). has indeffed the account, but given the comments I thought it was good to put this on the record so the account is tagged and not unblocked.

The new sock was created a couple days after the last sock was blocked.

The first edit by both editors to their userpage: vs.

Both accounts were created on the Spanish wiki: vs.

Both editors always end their talk page comments with "Greetings!": vs.

Lots of overlapping articles including: Euroscepticism, Eurasian Economic Union, Alexis Tsipras, Syriza TDL (talk) 23:30, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
