user:YMB29 is currently blocked. There is reply by a new user account ForzeX in a thread that user:YMB29 was engaged before being blocked (diff). The reply, the only edit made by ForzeX, is in the style of YMB29's replies in the same thread. It also supports a comments made previously by YMB29 here and here. -- PBS (talk) 14:35, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Copied from talk YMB29 reply on notification of the SPI:

 * Hmm... Then, this is probably a case of meatpuppetry. A coincidence is highly unlikely. As about not notifying users about SPI, yes, I tend to agree. However, I would like to notice that response by YMB29 (above) was very suspicious. He did not simply tell in their response: "no it was not me, and I do not know who that was", as innocent users usually respond. So, based on their response, this can be indeed a case of sock/meatpuppetry. My very best wishes (talk) 20:10, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

 * - New user comes straight to a discussion where the blocked user was arguing, and makes similar comments. That is a strong sign of sockpuppetry. Diffs support this ( and . In the future, do not notify users about SPI case on them. It is not necessary and makes more harm than benefit.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  18:53, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

I came to the same conclusion. There seem to be throw-away sock accounts that dump Russian sources or remove material in these controversial articles, see also:, ,  and  (this one originally added the material Fuzzythroat is re-adding). I suppose MiG29VN is also a possible sockmaster, but YMB29 is more likely because he has 119 edits in Rape during the occupation of Germany. --Pudeo (talk) 07:52, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

This case is. Very little evidence has been presented to take any action here. CU declined.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:56, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
