It's possibly worth starting with Requests for arbitration/Rktect/Evidence Rktect is banned from all articles related to weights and measures. Requests for arbitration/Rktect. Federal Street came back from a long gap in August to edit some talk pages.

On December 7th 12.187.95.131 adds a major edit about sacred proportions, etc. It's reverted and then restored by Khamis Mushat. 12.187.94.150 does some minor edits on the 10th to Khamis Mushat's work. Both geolocate to the same place (as in the past.

Khamis Mushat is obviously Rktect. See for instance Rktect off-wiki earlier this year compared to by Mushat. Eg the text "In Mesopotamia and Egypt the Remen could be divided into different proportions as a similar triangle with sides as fingers, palms, or hands." There is other evidence linking Rktect to the place name Khamish Mushat, eg at Talk:Knotted cord Rktect wrote "The second image is of one of the 10 stadia landmarks that predate the milestones of the Romans. It was taken in the high mountains near Khamis Mushat in 93.Rktect 03:34, August 28, 2005 (UTC)" And off-Wiki, see  from May where he writes about driving to Khamis Mushat. I've indefinitely blocked both accounts but would like a check for sleepers. I realise Federal Street's edits are stale. who blocked Rktect will be along when he has time from RL.

 * Concur with Doug here. Behaviour matches the characteristics and other evidence supports the diagnosis too. This is a long-term abuser, so a Checkuser is warranted IMO. Guy (Help!) 22:33, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Rktect and Federal Street are, of course, but I was asked to look for any other accounts related to Khamis Mushat. There are no other accounts, but there has been quite a bit of logged-out editing going on. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 02:33, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
