More socks are a distinct possibility.

Evidence submitted by Sander Säde

• Both Timurite and Dzied Bulbash edit the same articles, from similar viewpoint
  • Schutzmannschaft Front Bataillon 36 Arensburg: [1] [2] (in both cases summary "rvv" when reverting changes obviously not vandalism), [3]
  • Bronze Soldier of Tallinn: [4] [5] (both are edits to the name of the statue; Timurite also used extremely offensive edit summary)
  • Anti-Estonian sentiment: [6] [7]
• Both vote in same AfD's and same way
  • Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Siberian Wikipedia (2 nomination): [8] [9]
  • Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lenin's Hanging Order (2 nomination): [10] [11]
• They have an identical daily edit pattern ([12])

Comments by accused parties

See Defending yourself against claims. <Shrug> - in this way all Estonian contributors are mutual sock and meat puppets, especially the ones who randomly pop up put of the blue, such as User:Vihelik, and revert others. Dzied Bulbash (talk) 17:09, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Comments by other users

All I can add to the evidence is that my perception is the same, that the users' patterns match closely and the responsible editor has used the multitude of accounts for ill purposes. After a ban on the socks, further investigation is in order to find out other possible accounts of the editor. --Jaan Pärn (talk) 16:04, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments

Checkuser request – code letter: C (Vote stacking affecting outcome )

Current status – Endorsed for Checkuser attention.    Requested by Sander Säde 15:31, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

 Clerk endorsed I see sufficient behavioral evidence, between edit summaries, contributions, and activity times, to warrant a checkuser. --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 16:59, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
