Alison, if it's not too much PITA, you might want to check the history of China to see if there is a recent revert that hasn't been reported here. Not everyone reverting the sock is reporting the socks for CU. I'm also thinking of another way around this. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)

As seen in the archives, Peter zhou is a sockmaster who creates dozens of sockpuppets to make specific edits to the articles China and Names of China. The article has been protected for weeks at a time to prevent this. After unprotection, this sockpuppet showed up. Checkuser on these users should reveal other sockpuppet accounts that can be pre-emptively blocked. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)

 * I concur. See Nat's talk page history . Nuirei, Sliutu, Fliefreo, Pligrua, Krawrae (and the list of names goes on...) all used similiar chinese words as headings, and make the same comments attacking Nat and his mother. OhanaUnitedTalk page 20:06, 15 December 2007 (UTC)








 * - I'd dearly like to apply a few /18 rangeblocks here as this ridiculously prolific vandal only uses two ISPs but I believe there would be too much collateral damage here, given their location. If they persist, it may well happen yet

I've been harrassed by a bunch of sockpuppet accounts vandalising my user page and talk pages.

My suspicion is that the series of sockpuppet accounts are related to User:Peter zhou, based on the facts that: See: Suspected_sock_puppets/Archive/November_2007, prob socks of JackyAustine. Also see: Suspected_sock_puppets, looks like counter claims. This SSP was filed by a brand new account, Feipleo, who I suspect is a sock of JackyAustine. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 13:01, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) User:Peter zhou has been the sole representative of the opposing side of a dispute on Talk:China.
 * 2) The vandalism started on November 11, and the dispute on Talk:China really got going on November 10: see this and subsequent edits.
 * 3) Since that time, I have not been involved in any other disputes. PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 05:53, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh and I forgot to add - thanks for reminding me Rlevse - that JackyAustine, the confirmed sock-puppeteer of User:Peter zhou, has a history of sockpuppeteering: the other ones being at Suspected sock puppets/JackyAustine, Suspected sock puppets/JackyAustine (2nd), Suspected sock puppets/JackyAustine (3rd), Suspected sock puppets/JackyAustine (4th). --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 10:40, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

--Deskana (talk) 19:42, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

New evidence just to hand: the similarity between posts of the latest vandal account: e.g. with posts of banned sockpuppet User:Feipleo at Suspected sock puppets/PalaceGuard008. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 13:04, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
