Hello. It has come to my attention that the above user is a sockpuppet of a user PravdaRuss or PaxEquilibrium as he was known. The above user has or had over 70 confirmed sockupuppets [1] and was banned for it, although the ban was then lifted a year after under the pretense he will "behave" or whatever the case was. Now at the matter at hand...I recently came up Ivan Štambuk on en.Wiki and his behavior seemed strangely aggressive to me. I decided to check around and I found out he is supposedly an admin on sh.Wiki, he was also active on hr.Wiki but was banned there as well for some reason. Now I have also come up on his account on meta.Wiki and there I found something very interesting which made me investigate this further resulting in this report. On his talk page on meta-Wiki [2] there is this little exchange between the said user and another user named Rjecina2 whom I strangely found on his previous reports on sockpuppetry and seems to be an account of yet another user banned on en.Wiki Rjecina.
You can see their little exchange here: Rjecina (or Rjecina2 as he is known there) [3]: Congratulations. I congratulate you [my compliments] since the users on Croatian wiki finally discovered your true identity. Ivan Štambuk = Pax Equilibrium. Why didn't you notify me "my old friend" :) Ivan Štambuk [4]: LOL. Now that they finally managed to see through my disguise, I will have to change my tactics so my plan from Jewish-Masonic masters would unfold to the end :P
As you can see user Rjecina explicitly identifies him as the socketpuppeteer and the Ivan Stambuk" acknowledges it and makes a sarcastic remark. The account Ivan Stambuk has been created a bit over a year before PaxEquilibium was discovered of having huge number of socks and ultimately being banned, however this account seems to have avoided detection and after the said user was unblocked and given a "2nd chance", it seems he simply discarded that account and continued with his unburdened undiscovered account.
He also seems to be accusing other people of being his sock's as can be seen here [5] and here [6] which looking from previous reports was also done by PaxEquilibrium. Shokatz (talk) 15:32, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

I'm not an admin on shWiki (I occasionally edit there). I was blocked at Croatian Wikipedia in "revenge" for doing nothing wrong at all there, by right-wing extremists who after my departure took measures to extensively ruin the reputation of the wiki. Rjecina's comment is sarcasm, Shokatz's interpretation thereof is Poe's law in action. The problem is that I'm Croatian and my edits to Croatian nationalists seem like "treason" (of national interests), so to them it's obvious that it's all a Serbian conspiracy (PaxEquilibrium is a Serbian editor). BTW, you should've notified me on my talk page. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 11:11, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- Well allow me to retort. :) I don't know whether you are an admin on sh.wiki, I said you "supposedly are" an admin there, I don't really know. Looking into hr.wiki and your relations there I have come up on a rather large number of warnings and minor blocks just on the basis of incivility towards other users and even admins...something you seem to have carried over here as well [7] [8]. My conclusions are based simply just from looking at your talk page on hr.wiki...I am not really a registered user there so I cannot say anything more about that. Now as for your rationale that it is just irony or sarcasm that another user identified you as PaxEquilibrium and you acknowledging it...I find that rather strange case of sarcasm. Now if you think this is some grand scheme of mine against you, you are wrong, I am merely reporting here what I think may be suspicious based on what I saw, which I have also expressed to one of the admins [9] and thus I have decided to report it.

Administrator note I'm closing this report as "no action" because PaxEquilibrium is not blocked, and has been unblocked since the end of 2008. They also haven't edited since 2009, but if they wanted to, they could. I'm not commenting on whether or not PaxEquilibrium and Ivan Štambuk are the same editor, because even if they were there is no policy being violated. -- Atama頭 00:01, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
