Nicoljaus, a user who has been blocked four times on the English language Wiki for edit warring and making personal attacks and who has been banned indefinitely from the Russian language Wiki for the same reasons, has resorted to sock puppetry on the Taras Bulba-Borovets page, reverting sourced sentences as seen here []and engaging in edit warring. He is also edit warring on the Dmitry Medvedev (partisan) page, restoring unsourced paragraphs and links to Russian/Soviet propaganda websites as seen here []. If this matter could be investigated I would appreciate it. Thank you very much. Ctvaughn555 (talk) 03:53, 22 June 2020 (UTC) Ctvaughn555 (talk) 03:53, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

 * I agree that this is probably Nicoljaus and I've blocked them for 3 months based on previous edits. The policy breach is around avoiding scrutiny and the post on ANI. Closing. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 10:07, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Carpathian fox's most recent edit was on Sep. 26th of this year. [] Just one day later, Nicoljaus resumed editing after his most recent ban (the latest of many) [] while he falsely claims on his user page that he is retired. Carpathian fox made an edit on the Taras Bulba-Borovets page that was undone by another editor today. Nicoljaus has been blocked numerous times for his behavior on this page, so it appears to be another attempt to start an edit war. Corriganthe3rd (talk) 06:06, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Closing without action. I see precisely two articles where both editors have edited and their overlaps were half a year or more apart. I do not see sufficient justification to checkuser, much less block. GeneralNotability (talk) 19:35, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , Noting just for the sake of future clerks, Carpathian fox was also mentioned in Sockpuppet investigations/Icewhiz, although I don't think there's any real evidence for that association either. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:03, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
