Yahadzija is currently blocked on en.wiki (five blocks in May 2017, indef'ed on 28 May 2017) and 10 other projects (11 total) and has been using Falcon Bos to evade that block (e.g., edits subsequent to 28 May include:, , etc.) Falcon Bos is a confirmed sock on the Commons (notes are on CU wiki [//checkuser.wikimedia.org/?curid=6884 here]). Significant behavioural evidence (editing overlap) on en.wiki, including esoteric articles in vastly different subject areas:
 * Trebević - Falcon Bos ; Yahadzija
 * Phylogenesis - Falcon Bos ; Yahadzija
 * Arm folding - Falcon Bos ; Yahadzija ;
 * PTC tasting - Falcon Bos ); Yahadzija

Please check for sleepers, etc. Эlcobbola  talk 22:17, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

✅. No other accounts seen. Blocked and tagged. , based on the extensive cross-wiki abuse, should we globally lock these two accounts? As always, thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:24, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
 * There's currently a global ban discussion open regarding this user. I'll hold off locking until that has been concluded. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 06:30, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

Both are trying to change the image at Šiprage, much like the master did. Bogumilo left a message at Category:Requests for unblock (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Requests_for_unblock&diff=prev&oldid=792113021) saying: My block is result of missunderstending, but the account is not blocked. That leads me to suspicion that he is auto-blocked because the account is used from the same IP.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  15:47, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

New sock. Edits show advanced markup (not likely for a "new" user) and all edits are to articles created or heavily edited by Yahadzija. ,,, 196.54.55.12 (talk) 22:49, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

All already globally blocked as socks - same edit pattern and focus primarily on Šiprage and related articles (e.g., Kotor Varoš). Request is to check for sleepers. Please consider range blocks; these have been effective on the Commons. Эlcobbola talk 15:21, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

User has attempted to have someone unblock the sockpuppeteer (sockpuppeteer has tried to get unblocked many times, see his talk - once talk page access was revoked, they used UTRS, which I think they have been banned from). In addition, they edited Šiprage on sh.wiki. MrClog (talk) 10:36, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Edited Yahadzija's user talk page and an article created by the master: 1, 2. Created user page similar to another sock: 3, 4.

This sock master has been active around the past month with several other accounts, such as: Fuyecobbola, Бајеццобола, XYZOPEN-13, Ayizdahay so CU may be able to discover other socks. -★- PlyrStar93  → Message me. ← 16:27, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Note that the username C5R10 is likely a play on, just as Бајеццобола and Fuyecobbola were plays on Elcobbola. Usernames that mimic/mock/etc. admins who have blocked his socks in the past is a Yahadzija m.o. Also, FWIW, Byelobrk is another recent sock (16 July 2019) not mentioned above.
