A ton of similar accounts doing the same thing, in typical LTA style. I'm pretty sure there's an LTA case out there with Japanese characters for a name--if so, and if you recognize this one, please merge as appropriate. Drmies (talk) 02:41, 16 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Some of these names are Japanese, some are Chinese (at least that's what Google Translate tells me). I did a little poking around and nothing jumped out at me, but that doesn't mean much.  I only see one LTA named in either Japanese or Chinese: Long-term abuse/明溪.  The whole list is here.  There's a bunch of J/C SPI cases but I'll leave it to somebody more familiar with the case histories to see if any of those seem like a match. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:02, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I did some digging on jawiki and based on the usernames I'd guess that these are ja:LTA:ASPE (or someone impersonating them). I don't think there is an existing SPI case for them on enwiki, and the jawiki master is not registered here, so perhaps we can just leave the case here for now.

 * Marking status as checked., was this a pro forma or is this to remain open for a while? Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 23:30, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
 * User:Dreamy Jazz, yes, really, haha. In one way it's pro forma since it's all handled--in another way I'm kind of hoping that someone will look at this go "ah yeah that guy". But you can file it away, I suppose--thanks. Drmies (talk) 00:21, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I'll leave it open just in case someone knows who this is. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 00:36, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Based on the behaviour and usernames (use Google Translate) it's pretty clear that this is the same case as Sockpuppet_investigations/充吮北/Archive. - please merge that case into this one (the master of this case is older).  BTW, did you mean to leave  unblocked? Thanks, Spicy (talk) 10:57, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

I will need human review of the edits by 熈滑ローズコム and 熈滑 極, since the former could not be deciphered by Google Translate, and the latter was likely translated incorrectly but is probably a legal threat. –<b style="color:#77b">Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d c̄ ) 01:34, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

 * I have in the past blocked dozens of this person's accounts, maybe hundreds, without having any idea what their purpose in creating user talk pages and then immediately deleting them is. In light of things which seeing this page has prompted me to look at, it seems possible that they are acting in the mistaken belief that having what they write kept in page histories will serve SEO purposes, or something similar. That suggests that deleting the blanked pages, which until now I have not done, just may deter them. Actually I doubt it, because the way they almost always just make 2 edits with an account and then never use that account again, suggests that very probably they never even look back at the account, and so will never know the pages have been deleted, but maybe it's worth a try.

Creating messy Japanese page on user talk page and cleaning them rapidly. -Lemonaka‎ 11:59, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
 * @Girth Summit Goodness me, there are so many socks. Mind you blocking the IP range for creating these accounts? -Lemonaka‎  00:20, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
 * It's not as simple as blocking one or two ranges I'm afraid, I'd need to block multiple very wide ranges, and I'm not confident that the level of disruption would justify the collateral. Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:Segoe print;color:blue;"> (blether)  05:45, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

 * And I'll throw in User:ගරවාවා. Courcelles (talk) 17:40, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
 * All accounts are blocked, so there's nothing more to do apart from closing the case. If it's of any interest to anyone, since March 2022 I have blocked hundreds more of this editor's sockpuppets, in addition to those dealt with in these SPIs. I haven't bothered to file SPIs, because they are so blindingly obvious. If anyone thinks I should request CU so that any sleepers can be found, let me know, and I'll consider it, but to me it looks unlikely that there's much point in doing so, since when I see a new sockpuppet, any others which have recently been created are so easily identified by their user names among newly created accounts. It seems to me that CUs' time can be more usefully spent on checking other cases where things are not so obvious. JBW (talk) 17:07, 28 October 2023 (UTC)


 * I've changed my mind, and am now requesting a CheckUser for possible sleepers etc. That is because the editor has recently taken to using a wider variety of usernames than previously, making it more difficult to spot them. The latest that I know of are, , , , & 1.113.56.193. JBW (talk) 10:25, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * None seen unfortunately . firefly  ( t · c ) 10:44, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm not sure whether "unfortunately" is the right word, User:Firefly, 🤨  but thanks anyway. Nothing more to do here in that case. JBW (talk) 12:13, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @JBW hah! With cases such as this where sleepers are common, not finding any makes me wonder whether I've just missed them or they are evading CU effectively. You are right however that I should probably make that clearer! :) firefly  ( t · c ) 13:50, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
