Code letter: C, E, maybe F; for a clearer vision see ZoguShqiptar700's block log and the discussion at the [1].

User:CharlotteWebb has observed while monitoring the now indef. blocked ZoguShqiptar700 striking similarities between the user already nominated, his socks (already blocked) and previous edits by Albanau, and how they seemed to have edited the same articles and both pointed to remove foreign names from Albanian towns. As observed by Charlotte, this may be a coincidence, but I would like to be sure hasn't created ZoguShqiptar700 as a trolling account.--Aldux 16:28, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For similarity of edits, on the Gjirokastër article alone, see:

Edit by ZoguShqiptar700 [2]
Edits by sockpuppets of ZoguShqiptar700 [3] [4] [5]
Edits a year and a half ago by Albanau [6] [7] [8] [9]

However, Albanau has edited as recently as 30 November 2006. Note that all of the usernames (Albanau, ZoguShqiptar, and all of his sockpuppets contain references to Albania ("Shqip" is Albanian for "Albanian", Koplik is a city in Albania, "Rahovec" is the Albanian name for Orahovac, a city in Serbia) except for User:Një mik i Alduxit which means "a friend of User:Aldux" or something similar. — CharlotteWebb 00:48, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unrelated. I had to think on this one a long time; I don't do checkusers of established contributors unless there is a lot of evidence linking them to inappropriate behavior. However, I have no problem with checkusering sockpuppeting trolls. Therefore, I have checked into ZoguShqiptar700, and I can find no evidence of any connection between these two users.
