Evidence submitted by Cplakidas
Original account blocked for persistent POV-pushing & edit-warring with multiple users on Aromanian-related articles & gross incivility. Hallmarks include the promotion of the makedonarman-council.org website, the substitution of "Aromanians" or "Vlachs" with variant forms of "Macedonians"/"makedonji" and the subsequently using this to create a link to Ancient Macedon (e.g. planting the Vergina Sun in the article), and continuous claims that "Romanian and Greek Nazis/fascists/racists" delete all these things. A look at the history page of the Aromanians article confirms that this new user displays the exact same pattern of editing & behaviour, as well as the same use of language. It is also no coincidence that IP, well-established as Njirlu's IP, has also began editing again, at the same time as and furthering the latter's edits. Constantine  ✍  00:50, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Added "Cplakidas 123, go!" Undid Cplakidas's reversal of edits made by Greek macedonian. Obviously imitated Cplakidas's name. Jarkeld (talk) 01:46, 5 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Pretty obvious case on behavioral grounds. Socks should certainly be blocked, the latest one also as an obvious attack account. Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:35, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Rather obvious sock case based on editing profiles: persistent pushing of a rare, idiosyncratic POV agenda about Aromanians being the true Ancient Macedonians ; same abusive style and poor English

Case was reported at ANI a few weeks ago but not acted upon

 * Note that with this edit, he has implicitly admitted he has been on the same IP as Njirlu. Fut.Perf. ☼ 23:06, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

A rather clear-cut case, at least by WP:DUCK standards. The same agenda, the same use of English, the same accusations. Constantine  ✍  09:56, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

is certainly the same as the just-banned, continuing in the same tone and the same spirit his edits and insults in Aromanian-related articles. Until yesterday, PhilipMakedon had few edits. Directly related to this case was only one, on 12 March, re-adding a host of links to the Aromanians article which Njirlu had originally added, chief amongst them www.makedonarman-council.org. He had remained dormant until right after the recent ban of other Njirlu socks, which dealt with the same articles, made the same edits, and resorted to the same insults when their fringe POV edits were reverted. The naming pattern of the socks is also suggestive of the same identity. Constantine  ✍  21:31, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Agreed, at the very least the same as User:PhilipMakedon, although honestly it doesn't matter - personal attacks and slander are not to be allowed. Indef'd. ~ Amory ( u •  t  •  c ) 23:50, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Per the content of his edit history, equating the Aromanians with the ancient Macedonians, this is clearly yet another of the endless sockpuppets of Njirlu. Constantine  ✍  12:12, 13 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Yet another sock: . Can something be done to stop this? He won't stop until all possible names are exhausted... Constantine  ✍  16:03, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Oooh, melodrama! :-) --Deskana (talk) 03:00, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

self-endorse for a sleeper check, please. I'm noting that all of the accounts that have been detected so far were registered in February, so chances are they have more SpitfireTally-ho! 17:39, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

The same MO, the same obsession with Aromanians=Ancient Macedonians, the same promotion of and reliance on makedonarman-council.org (notice also that the page he links to has been overwhelmingly edited by none other than Njirlu ), the same incivility and accusations of Greek/Romanian propaganda when reverted  Constantine   ✍  14:39, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
