Introduction

Great overlap of the three accounts as shown by the interaction analyser. Master already blocked for relentless edit-warring on ancient Greek scientists. I guess the block of the master was too much for him because the new sock CalinicoFire started similar, pro-Phoenician POV edit-warring on Pythagoras (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), an article the master edit-warred similar POV on just before getting blocked. Sock Enion Glas is adding the usual pro-Phoenician POV on Tyrrhenians (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views).  Sounds like a duck quacking into a megaphone to me.

Additional evidence

Sock cooperation

• In this touching example of sock cooperation, sock Enion Glas finishes the words of sock CalinicoFire.
• Master comments on Thales's talkpage then sock CalinicoFire supplies the sources to support the master, then, about an hour later, master picks up where the sock left off.
• Master edits a filename a minute after sock Enion Glas added a blank space on Bethany Kehdy.
• Ditto here on the same day but on Mzaar Kfardebian
• Close overlap of the same socks on Georges Hobeika
• Here master and sock Calinico are having overlapping editing fun on Jose Gabriel García.
• Here master and both socks are having overlapping editing and edit-warring fun on Khouri, one of their favourite articles.

Sock Calinico is channeling the master

• Sock Calinico tells me that the master has spoken to him and has told him to tell me to stop harassing him. What can I say?

Sock Calinico confesses

• Confession:
• He figueres that this Wikihounding/harassment will not stop and that when he tried to defend his previous block he did not get any help from other editors and his case was left in limbo so he might need to resort to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sock_puppetry#Legitimate_uses to avoid further harassment. He will file a complaint and keep looking for assistance from the board if you dont desistCalinicoFire (talk) 02:35, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

As per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Dr.K.#ViamarisBalbi_is_back_under_two_new_sockpuppet_accounts I believe this a case of the editor Katolophyromai being an ostrich on the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrrhenians edit by Enion Glas as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Don%27t_be_an_ostrich and of both him and Dr. K trying to game the system as they have done numerous times to get away with their edit reversals of sourced content as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Gaming_the_system and performing a witch hunt as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Witch_hunt to prevent ViamarisBalbi and CalinicoFire from making sourced contributions.

ViamrisBalbi has been blocked twice due to Dr. K, Katolophyromai and Khirurg Wikihouding as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Harassment#Wikihounding, with hunt and system gaming. He tried to appeal his 2nd block as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:ViamarisBalbi but the review was quickly rejected due perhaps to ViamarisBalbi inexperience with appealing blocks or perhaps due to no other editors looking carefully into the case. He says he will resort to the following once his block is expired to see if that helps:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Third_opinion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment#Request_comment_through_talk_pages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Editor_assistance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_requests https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Volunteer_Response_Team

ViamarisBalbi states that sockpuppeting sometimes is the only way to avoid harassment from editors such as Katolophyromai, Dr. K and Khirurg and for privacy issues due to his edits on controversial topics both inside and outside his country which might endanger him and his family despite what other editors might believe about this.
