Similar name, only edited the same article which they both claim to have "found" the article Aybars İbak in draft space. The article was created by an IP address. Seems to be a way of circumventing the need to be a confirmed editor. Most probably an autobiography. Dom from Paris ( talk) 13:11, 7 August 2019 (UTC) reply

A third editor, Kim09mim, has chimed in on my talk page and when questioned claims the 3 accounts are brothers. [1] -- Dom from Paris ( talk) 16:58, 7 August 2019 (UTC) reply

  •  On hold -  Blocked and tagged. @ -revi: There seems to be dewiki abuse here too; most of the users here have merged dewiki accounts and the master has made some edits promoting the same thing. Is a lock in order? Will contact other stewards if you're busy. Thanks, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 18:15, 9 August 2019 (UTC) reply
Only the sockmaster has edits on de: I think checks on dewiki should be conducted before we can lock it. (Mere attachment of dewiki SUL is not sufficient because it can be created for weird reasons when you haven't visited them) AFAIK dewiki has a rule of 'only conduct checks requested onwiki' so it might be a barrier to non-German speakers. — regards, Revi 06:09, 10 August 2019 (UTC) reply
Alright, it's not super important in my view. Thanks. Closing. Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 06:29, 10 August 2019 (UTC) reply

Found this based on some xwiki spamming, they've recreated Draft:Aybars İbak and have teh same general overlap. Praxidicae ( talk) 13:29, 13 October 2020 (UTC) reply

Praxidicae, Could you give some diffs showing how this is tied to Fikeithomas? I haven't dug into this deeply yet, but my initial impression from looking at the history of Draft:Aybars İbak is that it's mostly inhabited by Akagunduzsa01 socks -- RoySmith (talk) 13:07, 17 October 2020 (UTC) reply
Being unable to see the deleted history, I assumed it was related to this user based on the edits in the filter log. Praxidicae ( talk) 13:09, 17 October 2020 (UTC) reply
