• Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_arbitration/Moby_Dick#Moby_Dick_banned_from_certain_articles - Possible evasion of remedy

Although both users are probably too old to check, their checkuser data should have been preserved after the RfArs. Although I feel the user is borderlining disruptive "throwaway" account used only for a few edits with less than 100 "professional" edits, a consensus was not reached to this end: Misplaced Pages:Community_sanction_noticeboard#Diyarbakir and Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Diyarbakir.

Additional evidence:

• (Main) namespace
  • Edits concerning a "BBC news link" in an article
    • 03:59, 9 October 2006 3rd edit of User:Diyarbakir adding the news article
    • 21:24, 7 October 2006 My edit removing the irrelevant news article
    • 05:03, 3 May 2005 An edit of User:Davenbelle (aka User:Moby Dick as per RFAR#Moby Dick is Davenbelle)
    • 03:29, 3 May 2005 My edit removing the irrelevant news article Stereotek added.
    • 14:45, 27 April 2005 An edit of User:Stereotek (aka User:Karl Meier - User changed usernames. (Davenbelle and Stereotek rfar)) who originally added the BBC news article.
  • Edits concerning Image:Diyarbakır_Turkey_Provinces_locator.jpg
    • 05:13, 7 February 2007 33rd edit of User:Diyarbakir complaining the "absence" of the image
      • At the time Diyarbakir was complaining the image on commons was named Image:Diyarbakir_Turkey_Provinces_locator.jpg and was very recently renamed to the dotless i (ı) version so there was a red link back then.
    • 00:18, 4 May 2006 An edit by User:Moby Dick concerning the image
  • Edits concerning Diyarbakır Province
    • 05:59, 26 September 2006 2nd edit of User:Diyarbakir adding Category:Kurdistan
    • 00:00, 15 July 2006 An edit by User:Moby Dick "restoring" Category:Kurdistan
  • Other edit
    • 07:36, 4 February 2007 17th edit of User:Diyarbakir User moves the archive page (a page I archived) to fix spelling.
• Misplaced Pages/Wikipedia talk namespace
  • CfD participation. To this date user participated in only 3 of them - all initiated by me
    • 08:58, 10 April 2007 An edit of User:Diyarbakir voting on a cfd I initiated
    • 02:50, 10 February 2007 49th edit of User:Diyarbakir voting on a cfd I initiated

    • 07:55, 9 April 2007 User:Diyarbakir adds himself to Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Kurdistan/Participants
    • 07:56, 9 April 2007 User:Diyarbakir votes on the rename nom of the Kurdistan wikiproject I initiated and is users first and last edit on "Misplaced Pages talk" namespace.
    • 08:00, 9 April 2007 User:Diyarbakir votes on Portal:Kurdistan mfd that I initiated
• Category namespace edits.
  • 07:27, 23 April 2007 User:Diyarbakir reverts my removal of the Wikiproject Kurdistan template
  • 08:13, 9 April 2007 User:Diyarbakir adds a map of Kurdish inhabited region after I removed a similar one

Overall the user made no edits on wikipedia/wikipedia talk name space that isn't 'concerning me' (his edits came after mine) even though he demonstrates he knows how to get around with his 10th edit. User made no edits on category namespace that are not contradicting my edits. He may have completely opposite views, this shouldn't prevent him in making edits that are not contradicting my edits specifically. Individually most/all these edits are sane but collectively I feel they fall under WP:HA which would follow the edit pattern of User:Moby Dick.

I suspect a Moby Dick sockpuppet more but it could also be Xebat or half a dozen other such banned/disruptive users.

Xebat is very stale, and I don't know of any records (or don't have them myself). However,  Confirmed that Diyarbakir = Moby Dick. Dmcdevit·t 21:23, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
