Codes: F/G Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan 2

Evidence: See diffs next to each name. This concerns a slow motion, tag team edit war on Hemshin peoples. All of the accounts have been reverting to essentially the same version of the article. Before further steps are taken, I would like to know if there is technical evidence of sock puppetry. There is an appearance of sock or meat puppetry. Even if there is no technical evidence, I may yet take action based on behavior. Jehochman Talk 19:23, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Typo above. Its x.193, not x.19. Have you tried 66.192.195.193 (talk+ · tag · contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · proxy check · block user · block log · cross-wiki contribs · CheckUser (log))? Jehochman Talk 02:14, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

information Note:Eupator provided me with a satisfactory explanation. Please don't take action on that account. I see no reason why Namsos would need a second account to edit in the same area of the encyclopedia. It might be appropriate to notify them and ask for an explanation. I don't see a need to block at this time. Jehochman Talk 03:26, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As CU results show, the IP 66.192.195.193 is Hetoum I (talk · contribs) evading the arbcom imposed parole. I think it is time to make his ban permanent, as he is unlikely to stop. See recent warnings at Hetoum's talk. Grandmaster (talk) 05:41, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I see that Bursteam (talk · contribs) is likely 66.192.195.193 (talk · contribs) [11] and Bursteam (talk · contribs) = Hetoum I (talk · contribs), per tags and talk page messages. Can a CU confirm that? I agree that strong sanctions are needed here. Jehochman Talk 05:48, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Inconclusive that Bursteam (talk · contribs) = 66.192.195.193 (talk · contribs). Same geographic region, but different ISP. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 20:51, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And Hetoum is back as 128.122.253.228 (talk+ · tag · contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · proxy check · block user · block log · cross-wiki contribs · CheckUser (log)). I think it is quite obvious that all the IPs reverting the page Sisak (eponym) belong to the same person. Grandmaster (talk) 06:23, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Recently on 19 June 2007 there was an edit warring on Church of Kish page [12]. after all users spent their revert limits, and some even broke it, there appeared an IP and just-a-new account which continued reverting. for example, User:VartanM did four reverts [13], [14], [15], [16] and User:Hetoum I did three reverts [17][18][19], and then there appeared TheTruth4578 (talk · contribs) and IP 202.41.187.247 to do new reverts.

Lets check everybody shall we? VartanM 23:30, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
With great pleasure Vartanm, except, by including my name again don't forget this [20]. Thanks. Atabek 00:34, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure its not you Atabek, but since I'm being checked why not check everybody? hopefully after this we could have a sock free enviroment. VartanM 02:03, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
LOL Atabek, you boast so proudly that Vartan was wrong about you before. Perhaps we should remind you of a certain user called Tengri. - Fedayee 23:23, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You have been repeating that for 6 months, and have been through one ArbCom already. That issue was settled and clarifications have been made. Assume good faith. Atabek 23:47, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: commentd from the accused moved to talk page. --ST47Talk 23:21, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Red X Unrelated. Second batch not checked. Voice-of-All 20:46, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
