All of these accounts edit the same pages and perform the same types of edits - inflating population numbers and adding listings to notable people sections. All accounts also have the same habit of reverting and not discussing issues on the talk. -- Local hero talk 16:51, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Examples of inflating numbers of Serbs in various places (without sources): Nikolaserbboy1995: ; IP: ; Ulichar: ; Mitrale89:
 * Examples of adding names to notable people lists (often unsourced red links): Mitrale89: ; Ulichar: ; IP:

Taking another look, Nikolaserbboy1995 may not be tied to the other two named accounts. Other than Serbs, they don't seem to have edited the same pages. While all of them inflate figures, Nikolaserbboy1995 seems to not use the same style as the other two. Thanks. -- Local hero talk 14:27, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

There's enough evidence of a connection between the master and Mitrale89 as evidenced by the back-and-forth and similar edits at Serbs in the Republic of Macedonia. However, I'm not seeing as much of that kind of thing with Nikolaserbboy1995. I blocked that account for 48 hours for edit warring, and his comments on his Talk page during the block were almost incoherent and demonstrated almost no proficiency in the English language. Although none of the accounts talks much, the master did a little, including, for example this comment, which appears to be well-written, even if it's brief. And this comment on the same issue, including the phrase "six points of reference", which is almost elegant. Can you provide additional evidence between Nikolaserbboy1995 and either of the other two named accounts? And not just inflation or additional of notables, but similar inflation and the addition of the same notables. A lot of ethnic users inflate numbers and add people who are not notable to articles. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:32, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * . Based on my observations and Local hero's latest comments in response to my query, a CU seems warranted for the master and Mitrale89, but not for Nikolaserbboy1995.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:00, 28 January 2015 (UTC)


 * is ✅ from with significant behavioural cross-over.  is  connected.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots  22:32, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Based on the CU possible and the behavioral evidence, I blocked the master. Because of the major disruption caused otherwise by the master, I indeffed the master. The other accounts have been blocked. All accounts have been tagged. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 03:32, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
