User:Serafin and User:Arudra have both been making incredibly similar ( Arudra, Serafin) POV edits to articles and both appear to have a similar agenda. They also appear to share an i.p. which edits articles in the exact same ways that these two do. A check user would be very useful in this situation to establish if sockpuppetry is occurring. Arudra has a small ammount of edits but I believe that there is a decent case to present here. The i.p. edits are really convincing me as well.

For
User:131.104.218.46 here is my other evidence:
Incredibly similar edits, all about the same topics,
User:Arudra is a common go between as well. Self admitted
here and 131.104.218.46 being used to escape
block. Pretty straightforward I think. — Preceding

Is it possible that Serafin does not realize he is breaking the rules by using these IP addresses while User:Serafin is blocked? Olessi 17:34, 20 January 2007 (UTC) reply
On the German WP, this user(s) used the names Aserafin, Bserafin, and Cserafin, all of which have been blocked. On the English WP, he has used Arudra and Erudra (Andrew and Edgar?). Olessi 20:36, 31 January 2007 (UTC) reply
Further suspected sock puppets of the user on the German Wikipedia, all of which have been blocked as well. All three of them were trying to continue an edit war started by Aserafin related to the dates of birth ( history) and death ( history) of Johann/Jan Dzierzon. -- Le petit prince 20:14, 4 February 2007 (UTC) reply
In the English wikipedia he also uses the following accounts:

I hope this gets his attention. --- J.S ( T/ C/ WRE) 08:11, 17 January 2007 (UTC) reply
After a Checkuser case has confirmed further sockpuppetry, Serafin has been blocked for another month by User:Heimstern. Olessi 07:05, 23 February 2007 (UTC) reply
All named accounts blocked; recent IPs blocked. Checkuser cases are ongoing. Closing. --Akhilleus ( talk) 23:13, 26 February 2007 (UTC) reply
