Suspected sockpuppets
Evidence submitted by ChrisO

Darko Trifunović (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), a BLP, has repeatedly been disrupted by a series of IP editors, all tracing to the same Serbian ISP. The disruption has included repeated episodes of vandalising the article through blanking, posting rants or replacing it with a potted curriculum vitae of the subject. [1],[2],[3],[4],[5],[6],[7],[8],[9]
and many more. Similar IP disruption has been going on for at least 18 months.

This behaviour is identical to that which has repeatedly been carried out by Darko Trifunovic (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), for which he has previously been blocked. [10],[11],[12],[13],[14] An apparent sock account, Dusan Trifunovic (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), has made similar edits (e.g. [15]). I previously indefinitely blocked the sock account after repeated disruption. Another apparent sock account, Darko V.Trifunovic (talk · contribs), was the subject of an earlier sockpuppet investigation.

I have requested the enforcement of existing arbitration sanctions on this article (see

WP:AN/I#Darko Trifunović
) but it would be helpful to clarify whether this editor is in fact responsible for the IP edits, as seems likely.

(added) Future Perfect at Sunrise (talk · contribs) has done a useful comparison of diffs on AN/I, and has posted the following (which I'm taking the liberty of posting here as well):

  • posting CV instead of bio article
  • copy-pasting non-wikified article text from earlier versions:
  • posting complaint rants in article space:

(added) 62.90.149.242 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) is currently repeatedly blanking the article or replacing it with the CV [23],[24],[25],[26] and has also edited the user page and user talk pages of Darko Trifunovic (talk · contribs) [27],[28]. Off-wiki checks suggest that this IP address may be an open proxy located in Israel. -- ChrisO (talk) 22:18, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusions
  •  Confirmed
    • User:Darko Trifunovic is editing from some of the ranges above, but each one is too broad and has too many other users on them to effectively rangeblock. -- Avi (talk) 05:28, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
