Code letter: B

GreekWarrior was banned from Wikipedia for one year in November 2006, in accordance with Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/GreekWarrior. His ban was reset in February 2007, after using {{user|86.144.84.207}} to continue the vandalism that got him banned. {{user|80.250.128.5}} has made similar pro-Greek, anti-Turkish pov edits. {{user|Baristarim}} added the IP to :Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of GreekWarrior about two months ago. If this is indeed GreekWarrior, his ban will have to be reset. Aecis^Brievenbus 17:08, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

=== GreekWarrior ===

• {{checkuser|GreekWarrior}}

• {{checkip|86.138.0.221}}
• {{checkip|86.140.42.192}} (this is already [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Macedonian_dynasty&diff=next&oldid=77279356 fairly obvious])

Additional IPs added by Fut.Perf.:

• {{checkip|86.143.173.80}}
• {{checkip|86.140.42.67}} <-- edited today
• {{checkuser|NickOfCyprus}}

User:GreekWarrior was blocked in January for six months due to serious disruption and recently returned to "editing". Upon reviewing his rather volatile edits over the last 24 hours I noticed [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Macedonian_dynasty&diff=next&oldid=77279356 he signed this post] made by an anon, 86.140.42.192 registered to [http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ipall.ch?domain=86.140.42.192 BT in the UK]. Upon further review of another article [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Byzantine_medicine&action=history he frequented] I noticed 86.138.0.221 was also a [http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=86.138.0.221 BT registered IP] which has [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=500&target=86.138.0.221 been used throughout his blocking period] and not exactly quietly either. If this CU provides suitable evidence I would imagine an indefinite block is in order. Thank you {{admin|Glen_S}} 09:00, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

:86.140.42.192, with gems like [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Minorities_in_Greece&curid=4782735&diff=78031492&oldid=76364171] is certainly him. Because there have been no recent edits, CheckUser offers no more evidence for 86.138.0.221 than what we already know: they're in the same range. Behavior may or may not make the connection obvious already. Dmcdevit·t 08:10, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

::Thanks. Just for the record, I'm adding two more IPs above, and I'd suggest the behaviour profile of the .0.221 IP is also obviously enough identical (mixture of decent Greek-culture related edits with blatant nationalist hate outbursts) that we can safely assign it to him too, which means he was also block-evading all the time. Please also see WP:ANI#GreekWarrior, a thread I started before I noticed this RCU. Fut.Perf. ☼ 08:22, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

:::Yes thanks from me too. Without evidence I'm not really sure how to proceed with GreekWarrior however. I blocked the most recent IP "used" for gross incivility/WP:NPA. That IP (86.140.42.67) only edited for the first time yesterday and he does seem to maintain the same for weeks - months before switching (whether intentional I dont know). Anyway, appreciated, cheers Glen 08:41, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

::::I think it's all obvious enough. We have a positive Checkuser result for the .42.192 one (at least that's what I understand from Dmcdevit's response above, that was meant as an "official" result, right?); we also have instances of clear self-identification of two of the IPs as GreekWarrior (see my report on ANI); and all IPs and the account are linked by obvious common behaviour patterns. Certainly enough for a ban. Fut.Perf. ☼ 08:54, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

:::::Update: I don't suppose User:NickOfCyprus is recent enough to check him too? He's evidently the same user, judged from his profile of interests. Fut.Perf. ☼ 10:46, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

• {{confirmed}} that 86.140.42.67 is GreekWarrior. For the rest, common sense should be enough, especially since he's [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Adam_Carr&diff=prev&oldid=77747351 admitted] that he did not abide by his ban. Jayjg ^(talk) 20:00, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

::I have now Indefinitely blocked GreekWarrior. Thank you for your fantastic help in bringing this to a close. Appreciated Glen 23:04, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
