I believe that accounts Sokac121, IvanOS and Shokatz are operated by same person. Editing pattern of 3 accounts is similar and account names Sokac121 and Shokatz are also similar. Here are evidences about similar behavior:

Both accounts, IvanOS and Sokac121 are removing official Serbian name from articles about settlements in Croatia:
 * ,, , , (IvanOS)


 * ,, , , (Sokac121)


 * Also, in article Zemun (part of Belgrade, Serbia) 2 accounts (IvanOS and Shokatz) have same edit:, ,


 * Here are same edits by Sokac121 and Shokatz:,.


 * There is obviously some connection between 3 accounts. Please investigate and also have in mind that one of the accounts (IvanOS) is currently blocked because of vandalism. Zavičajni vuk (talk) 21:12, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Please explain in more detail (and with more and/or better examples) exactly what you think is going on here. The [ Donji Žirovac] example you cited appears to me to be a reasonable editorial decision to move the village's Serbian name out of the infobox and into the opening sentence — something about which reasonable editors could possibly disagree in good faith, but not obvious disruptive editing. And Shokatz's most recent editing (to the [ Franjo Tuđman] article) appears to be a perfectly appropriate reverting of attempts to vandalize the article with a vulgar expletive. I am willing to accept that sockpuppetry might be going on here if you can clarify your request, but otherwise I'm inclined to decline CU and recommend the request be closed without any action being taken. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 05:25, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

I should probably also add that I find it curious that this SPI request was submitted by a brand-new account with only one edit so far (namely, this SPI request). — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 06:10, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

 * No real evidence of sockpuppetry here; see my previous request for more info, which went unanswered. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 18:41, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
