 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Block evasion since 27 February 2012. Topics edited by IP before and after Silar was blocked are virtually identical to topics edited by Silar prior to block. Note editing gap by Silar in December, 2011, was active period of editing by IP. Ditto 2-4 August edits on Polish cuisine with no edits by Silar, followed a few days later by edits by Silar to that same article.

New user user:Xavierstanislaw has repeatedly restored obscure fringe material added by blocked user user:Silar. There were no other editors who supported Silar's addition before he was blocked, and it seems farfetched that a genuine new user would know enough to search the article history for deleted material to restore, especially for this sort of fringe. Don't know if I should request check-user. Please advise. Have not notified user.

Silar's addition's reverts of this material: [], [], [], [], [] and many more.

Obvious sock of blocked user. Compare edit summaries by this IP with those of user: Xavierstanislaw, confirmed sock of user:Silar:

[] and []

Material is too far fringe to be supported by anyone except the creator.

Currently on vacation in Denmark, I see. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 22:36, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

First of all I am not a suckpuppet. I am the user xavierstanislaw indeed which was banned for being a suckpuppet of this Silar, which is absurd giving the fact that I don't know this supposed suckpuppet. And no, I am not on vacation in Denmark in fact I am a Dane. My earlier user that was banned also was based in Denmark. I am not the person you falsely accuse me of being! This is getting pathetic. I am just in agreement with the former edits that were part of that page for months until they were removed without any reason. Moreover they are correct and relevant. --Somephase10 (talk) 22:16, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

This is indef banned User:Silar, blocked for copy vios, edit warring and disruptive editing. Aside from the obviousness of the IP address, he's also been adding photos which he claims are his own work  from his account on Commons. Same interests. Same obnoxious behavior - for example "mimicking" other's edit summaries in making random vandal edits (my legit edit, his parody in a vandalism edit on a different article). Probably also inserting copy vios again (for example copyrighted translations of poems).  Volunteer Marek  21:36, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
