The shared preference for Latin usernames whose meanings imply NOTHERE motivations aside... 173.238.79.44 admitted[1] to being DifensorFidelis and was accordingly blocked[2] for three months. Veritas2016 admitted[3][4] to being 173.238.79.44. It's possible that some other individual took over the IP during the block, but immediately before the block[5] the IP was editing exclusively in articles on ethnic groups, and since the block expired[6] has continued doing so. The IP also made edits that look very similar to the logged-in edits of both Israelites/Hyksos-focused DifensorFidelis[7][8] and race/genetics-focused Veritas2016[9][10] at roughly the same time. Not requesting CU as I am not sure if a CU is needed given the DUCK nature of the case, and I also don't know if a CU is even allowed to formally confirm that an IP is the same person as a named account even if it has already been admitted. Either this was a shared IP in February and still is now, in which case either the three-month block was unwarranted or another three-month block of logged-out edits by the IP is called for, or Veritas2016 and DifensorFidelis are the same person.

Compiling evidence from a related case and my talk page, and subsequent investigation.
173.238.79.44 is a purportedly static IP previously blocked twice as a sockpuppet of DifensorFidelis (see block log) by the sockmaster's own admission. The IP is also linked to ItaloCelt84 by that account's admission. This investigation is focused on determining whether the user using the IP since early October (ItaloCelt84) is the same user as was using it in June (Veritas2016 (talk · contribs), also a DifensorFidelis sock by admission).
Thus I assert that the user editing as 173.238.79.44 in June and blocked as a DifensorFidelis sockpuppet is the same user editing as 173.238.79.44 in November who created ItaloCelt84, thus ItaloCelt84 is a sockpuppet of DifensorFidelis.
Please note that due to good-faith concerns about my handling of the related case, I am going to recuse from clerking in this case. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 21:19, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I've seen the notification about my mention by Katie. I would like to say that I'm not related in any way to ItaloCelt, I've been accused to be a sockpuppet before by an anonymous user making edits while changing IP every day (that, in my opinion, is also vandalizing the page) for having few edits on the English Wikipedia. But, as I said to him, if that's the reason for the accusation it has no sense, since my account has a lot more in other languages (Italian and especially Sardinian). I've even been an admin in the Sardinian Wikipedia for a while. I saw the page as I every now and then check for edits in Sardinian-related articles.--L2212 (talk) 19:05, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
