New account that began editing shortly after Shahray was topic banned from the history of Ukraine and the Rus'. Their first edit was the day after Shahray stopped editing on the English Wikipedia and their appeal at WP:AE was declined. I should also note that the account was created not long after Shahray was created. Similar interest in Kievan Rus' and the history of Ukraine.

In this edit to King, they made similar edits as Shahray. Compare that edit with this edit by Shahray. The way they link Tsardom of Russia is the same and the wording is identical. Shahray was also interested in articles about titles of monarchs e.g. Grand duke where they added information about Ukraine. Compare for example this edit.

On 7 November, User386n made an edit to Russian world. Interestingly, the following day, Shahray made an edit on Ukrainian Wikipedia changing the redirect at uk:Руський світ from uk:Російський світ (Russian world) to uk:Русь (Rus). On 12 November, Shahray also added redirects on Ukrainian Wikipedia at uk:Монархи України (monarchs of Ukraine) and uk:Правителі України (rulers of Ukraine) to the list of Ukrainian rulers. A few days prior, User386n had also added similar redirects at Monarchs of Ukraine and similar pages. They have also been making edits to List of leaders of Ukraine. Shahray has also been interested in a similar list in Ukrainian Wikipedia. At uk:Обговорення Вікіпедії:Проєкт:Історія/Список правителів України (list of rulers of Ukraine) they left a comment about the need to move the page.

I will also note that Shahray made a few small edits to articles about mathematics e.g. this edit to Division by infinity and this edit to Indeterminate form. User386n has followed a similar pattern with early edits e.g. this edit to Singularity and this edit to Infinity. Mellk (talk) 21:08, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
