Edits the same articles, makes the same pattern of edits, similar name styles, hence WP:DUCK. User:9k7kq3 is currently serving a block (see block log), which means that User:J3ts9ij is being used for block evasion. Both user accounts have make promotional edits that advertise the Chinese website "Soso.com": See COIN which lists all the edits promoting "Soso.com" made by 9k7kq3, and diff1 diff2 in the case of J3ts9ij. Both accounts also make identical edits to the Media of China page which unduely place the spotlight on Phoenix TV, see diff3 diff4 for 9k7kq3, and diff5 for J3ts9ij. -- benlisquare T•C•E 19:55, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

 * User:6it4pq (contribs) looks suspicious as well, due to the similar name: refer to the edit histories at Luxgen and International rankings of Taiwan. -- benlisquare T•C•E 20:08, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

It may be weak in evidence. All three account were only centered on Luxgen related edits and their unique account names. Matthew_hk  t  c  17:45, 17 November 2016 (UTC)


 * except User:Q9xtypdk7w. all other account were only for one purpose, adding Luxgen into the article page of BYD Auto in order to advertise Luxgen. Matthew_hk   t  c  18:18, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Quacking was sufficiently loud, so I've blocked them all, except got to J28gvak way ahead of me. The block log sort of indicates that this may all be part of something bigger. Who knows? Closing. Favonian (talk) 18:22, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

I made an incomplete list in Sockpuppet investigations/Q9xtypdk7w for the socks of the user. Seem after his block in September 2013, he constantly create new account for the purpose on editing Taiwan related topics, just most recently using obvious socks on Luxgen related topics. Thus check user was requested Matthew_hk   t  c  19:45, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

 * - none of the accounts can be checked as they are . if you suspect these accounts are related to the list you created in another case, you should have filed this report on that page. But don't do it now, we'll fix it., I'm looking into it. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 20:41, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
 * They certainly seem to all be the same user, but none have edited within the past year. They also seem to be the same user as reported at the other case, based on the randomsauce username pattern and interest in some specific Chinese businesses. This case is : please merge Sockpuppet investigations/Q9xtypdk7w into this case, and then it can be closed. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 22:14, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Please note this will need to be done by a CU or clerk admin. Mkdw talk 04:26, 19 November 2016 (UTC)


 * SPI/Q9xtypdk7w & its archive histmerged into SPI/9k7kq3 and its archive. In reply to Ms comment in the archive about J28gvaK having already been blocked, looking at DQ's log for that group shows that the following accounts were part of that CU-block:

In previous blocked sock, the sockmaster replacing content from BYD Auto to unnecessary compare it to a underweight brand Luxgen (edits in November 2016, edits by User:P2sqVjumtx9, by User:J28gvaK, User:Ky9ez84). Now he use a new sock (Dadeteqapa) to compare the product of Luxgen to BYD Auto. Matthew_hk  t  c  16:45, 6 December 2016 (UTC)


 * added User:G92td4jvp7 for the randomized username (same pattern as previous sock) and interests on Luxgen related topic. Although it was not active and only have single edit. Matthew_hk   t  c  16:47, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
