This is a possible case of block evasion as two weeks ago the editor Kodosbs made very similar comments to currently blocked account Analyticalreview. Here[1] Kodosbs states that "...it is quite sad that someone subjectively implies that a country as beautiful and multiethnic as Mexico is whiter than the state of California in the US"
While one month ago Analyticalreview said here[2] that "...Even the most extreme cases (I.E Mennonites) are becoming Mestizos in recent decades. It is utter nonsense to believe Mexico is almost as European as the USA"
Besides these similar comments both editors seem to hold identical opinions on everything and even ask eachother for support[3].
Another similarity I found is on this edit[4] Kodosbs made to the article White Mexicans where he tags a source and uses a rather confusing edit summary that reads "The provided reference on "White Mexicans" does not support the premise because the text discusses mestizaje in Mexico from a historical and cultural perspective, without specifically addressing individuals identifying as white due to their physical appearance or European ancestry"
This is an almost identical action to what sockmaster Php2000 did back in 2020, where he, various times sought to remove the same source in the article of Mexicans[5][6] stating "Sources do not provide any specific definition for European Mexicans. False attribution" and "rv: the source discusses the origins of Mexico in 1808. It literally has nothing to do with the statement nor supports it." Which is why I open the investigation under Php2000 again.
Besides this evidence, In recent days I've noticed activity from an account that I've suspected to be another sockpuppet by this editor for some time now, the account Zaquezipe[7] as it frequents articles that Analyticalreview also frequents such as Ethnic groups of Latin America [8] (that article in turn, seems to have high sockpuppet activity with accounts such as Encyclopediaknowledge[9] being a likely example). In the last days he insistently tried to remove a source and lower the number of White Colombians [10][11] which is what Analyticalreview was trying to do in the article of White Mexicans before he got blocked [12][13], even in the talk page of administrator ~ ToBeFree he acussed an opposing editor of "... trying to undercount the ethnic minorities of colombia as I have seen on the Colombia and Afro-Colombian pages and overestimate the european contribution to Colombia despite colombia being a genetically diverse nation"[14]
Which is a similar accusation to the one Kodosbs made to me two weeks ago when he said "...it is quite sad that someone subjectively implies that a country as beautiful and multiethnic as Mexico is whiter than the state of California in the US"[15].
I must remark that while I request Checkuser to find other accounts this editor may have created (or even maybe find his actual main account, as there surely is one) there is strong evidence that this editor uses multiple proxies as Kodosbs has been blocked for such thing before[16][17]. There was even one case recently on which a sockpuppet by this person, the account Puggle, got blocked for doing the same edits[18] that Analyticalreview made to article White Mexicans and immediately after that requested for Checkuser to be used on him to "clear him"[19] which comes to prove how confident this person is about his proxies. So while I request Checkuser for the aforementioned reasons I think to evaluate the behavioral simmilarities is the main key to solve this case, so what do administrators think? Is Php2000/Analyticalreview using proxies to evade his blocks and continue edit warring? Pob3qu3 (talk) 01:37, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
