After Ivan's account User:Rts_freak was indefinitely blocked he created another account User:Graciella and tried to camouflage himself editing unrelated articles (IT articles). But his interest was preserved in Alija Izetbegović article: [1], [2] and after a while, when he was caught he started to edit with Graciella account: [3] etc. But the main evidence is that he tried to remove sock puppet tag in User:Graciella page: [4]. Because he was aware that he had been caught. And he did it again: [5] The same behaviour has a long history. 85.158.32.142 01:45, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not likely. Not that I am particularly fond of IK, as I was the one who blocked User:Rts_freak, but, just for one thing, Graciella has been editing since 2005. They've also got different writing styles, and article interests , and ... how shall I put this ... from looking at her very early edit history there is an excellent chance Graciella knows a few things about open proxies. But if you really want to run the CU, go ahead, of course. --AnonEMouse (squeak) 17:13, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I am sure he is the one. Let me explain. When he was earlier blocked by yourself Rts_freak he introduced himself as an ethnic Bosnian and changed his writing style. Now, I think that he borrowed an account from his friend or someone he knows just in the last week, in order to fabricate speculations. He told you that he gave a source, but he didn't tell you that he removed earlier part of the article which contained more complete information. He pretends to be a nice but just look at his edits in AI article. Just look at this example, when I found that this user was him, he made this change: [6]

trying to hide his suggestion. Now (this is very important) compare this two edits, by Ivan and by Graciella: In the same project page Ivan wrote: This is one of the IPs I'm talking about in the above section. and few days after that Graciella made exactly the same edit: [7]. They are very familiar with Wiki project pages, they immidiately acted the same way (with a slightly changed style) so this is very good reason to chech the last week contribution and compare IPs.

For what it's worth, I've spent hours going over Graciella's external link additions on this and other Wikipedias. I did not find any similar commercial links added by Rts freak (talk · contribs · count). I don't know about Ivan Kricancic (talk · contribs · count) since that account was deleted; perhaps an admin can check. Another reported Kricancic sock-puppet, Former Anon (talk · contribs · count) said[8] he/she had used two Australian IPs:
Any links added to Graciella's domains by anonymous IPs were done using IPs in the Netherlands:
None of these IP addresses show up on Completewhois' lists as anything other than dynamic IPs -- there's no indication they're open proxies that would allow editing from one country with an IP in another. --A. B. (talk) 16:40, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ivan's second account Rts_freak was blocked indefinitely and he was strongly warned by AnonEMouse. You can see that here: Ivan Kricancic - sock puppet. Ivan had second account which he created in order to nominate Bosniak-related pictures for deletion providing false information about the authors. He is an ethnic Croat, so he created the second account presenting himself to be an ethnic Bosniak who doesn't speak Bosnian, because he is from Australia. According to his user page (original user page) he hates Bosniaks, and makes funny of them. So his "ethnic Bosniak" account was blocked and he was warned. I noticed similar behaviour from the above IP addresses on Bosniak-related topics. Here is another earlier case that proves this, just compare his address 58.165.126.17 and his edit 58.165.126.17 in his original user page. Emir Arven 19:48, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: Please provide specific diffs of similar edits of the IPs and the user. Nishkid64 20:03, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, about his Bosniak-image obsession, here are some examples when he was logged in:

(It should be noted that he first nominated those pictures for deletion)

And here is an example how he put false information when he was not logged in, about the Bosniak-related picture in order to nominate it for deletion:

And here is an example when he promoted his ideas using his second blocked account, Rts_freak:

The worst thing is that he wrote lies about other users who donated pictures to Wikipedia. He said:

This image was unlikely to have been taken by Asim Led. He has a history of providing dubious sources, and lying about source info. Impropper licence. Since the image is probably unfree, it is also missing a fair use rationale.

Now, I want to show you few edits, just about Bosniaks and Bosnian language, he really hates them, when he was not logged in:

and when he was logged in:

There are so many examples, but the best thing is to look again the evidence here Ivan Kricancic - sock puppet when Ivan was blocked earlier. Emir Arven 22:40, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

no Declined The privacy policy does not permit us to disclose IPs. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 22:57, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But he was strongly warned and blocked once as Rts_freak, so can you block his original account, because he repeats this all the time? Emir Arven 23:01, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
