User:Whatelsetodo is a known sock of the banned User:Stanovc, a prolific sockpuppeteer. However, it appears he was re-admitted to the community per this. Why he was re-admitted, I have no idea. However, he has resumed creating alternate accounts and generally being disruptive. User:Bardyllis appears to be a sock, as it is a new account that he exhibits identical interests, namely creating and editing "Illyrian X" type articles, a highly obscure topic where no one else has ever contributed this prolifically. His other interest is mountains (e.g. Prokletije, Maja Jezercë), one of the main interests of Stanovc/Whatelsetodo. Evidently piqued that I nominated one of his articles for deletion he created the  account, with which he now follows me around. Nxenes i dalluar is obviously not a new account, since all he does is obviously follow me from my contribs log. Note how I notified Whatelsetodo of the deletion, Bardyllis removes the AfD tag, but it is Nxenes i dalluar that votes at the AfD. Also note that all accounts lack a userpage, a similarity they all share with Stanovc and his previous socks.

Here Bardyllis says he is the creator of Illyrian history, but from the article history it is obvious that the creator is Whatelsetodo , therefore it is proven that these two are the same account. Athenean (talk) 20:14, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Blocked and tagged; really just opened this to keep a history. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 00:41, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Just a few hours after I dealt with the previous sock, I got a note about another user and have listed them above. I'm adding a CU to see if we can get an IP block or something on this, 'cause this editor is clearly not giving up. In the meantime, I've protected an article that's well known as a spot for this editor. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 22:02, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Listing per discussion on my talk page. Seems exceedingly likely. CU check is for sleepers, and also to see if we can get some form of long-term block, as this has been an issue for some time. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 23:54, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Re-creation of Illyrian States - seems pretty obvious to me but I'm listing it here because the user Serbiakos has existed for quite a while. --Joy &#91;shallot&#93; (talk) 11:55, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

 * That's almost certainly him. I've blocked and tagged the sock on behavioral grounds. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 14:14, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Roman conquest of northern Illyria appeared out of the blue. Not only do those things rarely, if ever, happen, but I distinctly remember seeing an article like this before. I just can't put my finger on the title used at the time... --Joy &#91;shallot&#93; (talk) 09:25, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
