was partially blocked on August 6 by for edit-warring on Battle of Paštrik. The content they tried repeatedly to introduce had to do with KLA casualties which they placed at 1,400. After they were blocked, an IP editor made the same edits and they were blocked too at 11:06, 17 August by. created his account at 11:53, 17 August and also made the same edits. El C semi-protected the article at 23:02, 17 August and this editor filed a complaint against El C at ANI in his third edit 24 minutes later. I think that it's obvious but for the sake of transparency, a CU should investigate it. Maleschreiber (talk) 22:14, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

You don't like my edits when they are backed up by sources, so you resort to false accusations. It's sad, really. Peervalaa (talk) 07:37, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

 * It's obvious GenDel2000 is not a new user. WP:ANI on their third edit?  And, the timing of when the IP was blocked and GenDel created their account is pretty obvious.   But, I'm also not convinced they're the same person as Peervalaa.  The edit comments don't sound like they were written by the same person, and the "possible" finding based on geolocation doesn't say much; for ethnic-based disputes, it would not be surprising if multiple people from nearby geographies felt the same way.  In any case, I've indeffed GenDel for edit warring.  Could have just as well been NOTHERE.  But, I can't quite get to pinning a sock tag on them.  If Peervalaa really is socking, it should become obvious soon enough anyway if they persist.  Closing. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:16, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
