Thakhinma's first edit is to remove the copyvio tag from the alleged master's Devi Thant Sin. They then remove the AFD tag on the master's Francesca Fusco.The IP does the same, and is located in Myanmar - the alleged master's apparent location. Thakhinma gives the alleged master a barnstar. Similar use of punctuation:. The only reason I'm requesting CU is because the latter diff seems confusing. Thanks, GABgab 01:23, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

The sockmaster was banned on 8 November and the rights to edit talk page on 14 November, after creating sock to ask for unban. The new alleged sock (MahamayuriSMK) was created on 16 November and continued the edit war with another user on Nay Shwe Thway Aung.
 * Compare this revert by the new account (MahamayuriSMK) to this by the confirmed sockmaster on Nay Shwe Thway Aung.
 * Hlwan Paing was an article started by the sockmaster, MahamayuriSMK took up the role to expand it after the ban of the sockmaster. Matthew_hk   t  c  08:43, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Not all the article edited by the new user was overlapped with the sockmasker, and may be influenced by the narrow interest and language group. However, with more overlapped articles: Win Ko Ko Latt, Soe Win (Prince), Taw Phaya Gyi, Patricia (Burmese actress) and Chit Thu Wai (added to comment on 10:14, 18 November 2017 (UTC)), seem it is not a coincidence.

 * and the newuser was still commenting the same AfD that he was first caught Matthew_hk   t  c  08:54, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
 * More specifically, creating sock to comment AfD, seem one of the edit pattern of the sockmaster, which, seem a previous undiscovered sock that created in July and then stale. 10:53, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
 * More on edit pattern, the sockmaster had stole the userpage code from User:Phyo WP in July 2017 (Phyo WP's page was deleted in August and recreated, assume the deleted version were the same as current), which the alleged sock (MahamayuriSMK), did the same by stealing the code from User:Hintha. Matthew_hk   t  c  11:48, 18 November 2017 (UTC)


 * add, created on 10 November, begged on User talk:Phyo WP in order to ask for help to unblock the sockmaster. Matthew_hk   t  c  11:55, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

after the block, (s)he still personal attack in his/her talk page. I think (s)he did not need the rights to edit his/her own talk page, just like the sock master account. He read the wait 6 months reply in the sock master talk page, but seem never able to comply. Matthew_hk  t   c  09:16, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Despite all edits of the accused socks seem entirely good faith, it still block evasion. For the evidence: despite the new account created some new article, it also picked up the article that was created by the sockmaster, same as his/her attempt as the previous sock, with the articles were only contributed by the sockmaster and the previous socks only (except maintenance edits). For the new user page code, it looks similar to the previous sock, comparing to LuZhen's. Same as last sock, the new accused account did not add his/her name to WikiProject Myanmar (Burma)/Members (the most recent member of the project was the sock of Eh Doh).

The sockmaster seem did not understand what the blocking admin said in User talk:楊過007, the 6 months not editing offer. Matthew_hk  t  c  10:03, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Sound like ducking. A new user that registered right after the block, have the source code of a deleted DB-G5 page Nan Su Oo, and re-pasted to Draft:Nan Su Oo namespace. Matthew_hk  t  c  23:59, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

recreation of Ye Yint Aung (singer) which previously under Ye Yint Aung namespace. According to someone with rights to view hidden page history of Ye Yint Aung in Talk:Ye Yint Aung (now in Talk:Ye Yint Aung (footballer) after a page move 10:24, 2 April 2018 (UTC) ), it seem the current version was similar to the deleted version. The singer is notable, the only concern is created by sock. If i am not mistaken the previous version was created by the socks of 楊過007, the similarity can only be explained by sockpuppetry and block evasion, or coincidence as people that build the article, was using the same external source as citation.

Report for mostly archiving purpose. Seem those ip vandal (first 2 of the report) from Myanmar as well as new account was related to recent DB-G5 of those articles that was created by the sock after the block.

More ip may involved in block evasion in the same ip submask which also heavily edited on Nay Shwe Thway Aung, started by 楊過007, but seem a bit loose that did not have 1 to 1 exact edit to compare. As they are dynamic ip, not sure a range block would work without collateral damage
