When Holy islamic state of the Germanic Nation got blocked for edit warring at Islam in Scandinavia, 72.13.136.10 popped up to revert on their behalf. At Articles for deletion/Semitic Germanic Heritage‎, an article created by Holy islamic state of the Germanic Nation, User:Shqipërisëtonluk (who until today had been dormant since March) suggests keeping the article, either side of which, within minutes, another couple of IPs also express keep opinions. Geolocate evidence suggests that 72.13.136.10, 206.125.61.133 and 206.125.61.2 all have the same ISP and are all based in Philadelphia, PA. This suggests that one of the IPs is Holy islamic state of the Germanic Nation, the other two are Shqipërisëtonluk, the three IPs are the same person, and ergo Holy islamic state of the Germanic Nation and Shqipërisëtonluk are the same person. Warnings at User talk:Shqipërisëtonluk suggest that that user has a similar problem with unsourced population statistics and edit warring as Holy islamic state of the Germanic Nation.

 * Sorry,, but I think it's less complicated and might have led to 's decline. As all three IPs belong to the IPS HWC Cable in Philly, it is at least possible if not likely that both accounts and all three IPs were operated by the same person. I suggest a CU endorsed here. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 22:46, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I thought that's what I had said, but thanks for clarifying! Cordless Larry (talk) 22:50, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

 * - You yourself wrote here that "one of the IPs is Holy islamic state of the Germanic Nation, the other two are Shqipërisëtonluk". So, they use different IPs, which means that CheckUser is useless here.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  10:00, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Apologies, Vanjagenije, I thought that CheckUser might be useful if the IPs belong to the same ISP, in the same city, but perhaps that was my misunderstanding of how it works. Cordless Larry (talk) 11:55, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * But, if you already know that their IPs belong to the same ISP, than you don't need the CheckUser.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  22:55, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
 * What about the two accounts though, Vanjagenije? Cordless Larry (talk) 22:57, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
 * What about them?  Vanjagenije  (talk)  17:58, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
 * They aren't as obviously connected as the two IPs and Shqipërisëtonluk. A check might confirm that they used the same IP or ISP. On the other hand, it might clear HistGN if the IP geolocates to a different continent. Sjö (talk) 18:16, 16 October 2015 (UTC)


 * - to compare two named accounts.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  20:42, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
 * The following accounts are ✅ to each other and to the master (bear in mind that the master has only four non-stale edits):
 * I've blocked the master but have not done any tagging. I'm leaving that to the discretion of some other member of the SPI team who is watching this case.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:09, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
 * They have been tagged by Ponyo and Materialscientist, so I'm closing.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  14:46, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

A new editor who has popped up to make this edit, which suggests block evasion by Holy islamic state of the Germanic Nation and also reinstated edits by Shqipërisëtonluk's suspected IPs. Also shares the latter's interest in Turkic peoples. Cordless Larry (talk) 20:58, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

 * I came across this user through my watchlist and blocked/checked them prior to knowing about the SPI. Bbb23 is working on connecting the dots, so I'll leave this to them.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:46, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
 * See the results in the SPI dated October 14. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:00, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

User as their very first edit undos me in BEST Robotics - totally arbitrary. Judging from their comments on my talk page and their blanking of own talk page this is another sock with an axe to grind. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 00:39, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

 * and are ✅. Blocked, no tag. Still not closing this until someone (a willing clerk?) sorts out the tagging issues.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:55, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Added two ( and ) and tagged all. The master has access to a wide IP space, thus older (unlisted) accounts than Shqipërisëtonluk might well exist. Materialscientist (talk) 05:35, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Closing the case.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  14:45, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
