Rauzaruku entered in a edit war with an IP editor, and used Dariusvista to circumvent a 3RR block. MOre can be seen on the article`s history.  Legionarius (talk) 04:19, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

 * First I want to say that Dariusvista account was an account I had created, but at a certain point, I had forgotten her password , and then created the Rauzaruku . After a long time , I had remembered the password, but no longer needed to use this account , so I pretty much abandoned . This fact cited above was mere coincidence, since I logged into the account to see some details on swimming articles that I was edited , and the user above, who think owns Arena Corinthians article , along with a suspicious IP that can be the same user ( sock ? ) , were vandalizing my edits in the article, erasing them entirely. Then I used the account to answer them and do editions. Then I realized it was the wrong account , what I could do, nothing . This account Dariusvista can be disabled, I do not even care , I don't use it, basically. About R3R, I did not know this rule until you quote it now, so I tried not to "prevent R3R" because my intent here is to contribute , and not use it as a virtual game to see who is better than whom. If you want, I put a notice in Dariusvista account , " this account is a Rauzaruku sock ", too. But basically this account is abandoned for me. Rauzaruku (talk) 09:55, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I just want to finish by saying that this request for "investigation" is a cheap retaliation and this user have a big WP:COI problem: he is a single-purpose account, in the last six months he was editing ONLY ONE ARTICLE, trying to turn it into a giant propaganda, and preventing other users from entering data that does not interest him included in the article, configuring an attempt to hold the article. Now he is trying to eliminate me from Wikipedia to protect his article. Rauzaruku (talk) 11:19, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

I think this is a fair explanation and the case can be closed. This is not a retaliation to this or this.Legionarius (talk) 13:41, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

 * I've redirected Dariusvista to Rauzaruku to prevent confusing in the future. I think we can close this with a warning to Rauzaruku to only edit from one account from now on. Mark Arsten (talk) 17:51, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

In 2013, Rauzaruku made a series of copy-edit requests to the GOCE Requests page for articles about Brazilian swimmers Thiago Pereira and Ricardo Prado, a Brazilian politician Maílson da Nóbrega, and a Brazilian political term Partido da Imprensa Golpista. Rauzaruku was blocked for one week at 03:12, 8 December 2013. That account has not edited since, as of my timestamp.

(created 16:44, 8 December 2013) also made a series of copy-edit requests for articles on Brazilian swimmers here two days after its creation and here at the GOCE Requests page. The next day the editor appeared at the Requests page to argue about Telexfree, mentioning WP policy pages POV and BLP. As of my timestamp Janperson’s last edit is 12:42, 3 August 2014.

(created 22:22, 4 August 2014) requested c/es on Brazilian swimmers articles in identical style to the posts of Janperson:. The account has been recently active; as of my timestamp its last edit is 16:05, 29 August 2014. My request for the editor to explain his/herself on the talk page went unanswered.

(created 02:59, 30 August 2014); currently active as of my timestamp. Edits articles created and worked on by above socks (example: Matheus_Santana).

The close proximity between the blocking of Rauzaruku and the creation of Janperson (obviously an experienced editor), the similarities between their copy-edit requests (Brazilian swimmers) and the writing style of the requests suggests to me the same person operated the first two accounts, and therefore Junperson and Janpersonn. Neither Janperson, Junperson nor Janpersonn appear to be or have been disruptive, but I haven’t checked deeply enough into their histories to be certain. I don't know the reasons for the account-hopping—though he explains here that he keeps forgetting passwords. Baffle gab1978 (talk) 03:39, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Appears obvious that they are the same person, at at glance. However, the editor hasn't edited since, and no disruptive behavior has been shown, so I'll close this. I've left them a brief note asking them to stick with one account in the future. Amalthea  08:54, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
