Some of these accounts are already globally locked for cross-wiki spam relating to Tommy Jonathan Sinaga and I suspect that there are many more socks than just these four that I've found. The last two are still active and currently editing. As well as Sinaga, they all create related articles like 1 Hacker Way Siopat Suhu and Natalina Windasari Hutahaean. All also seem to bump up their edit count by playing The Wikipedia Adventure and then diving straight into creating mainspace vanity articles.

I added Harmony425 because of their edits today to 1 Hacker Way Siopat Suhu and the related AfD. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 21:12, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

 * I blocked a bunch of accounts but didn't do that deep of sleeper sweep. Not exactly sure if it's one person or a group of people, but they're all clearly related so it's good enough to block. Not sure adding all of them are worth adding here, but if someone wants to they can go through my block log and look for blocks where this SPI is mentioned.

Their decision to recreate Tommy Jonathan Sinaga and Draft:1 Hacker Way Siopat Suhu (company) puts this well into DUCK territory not to mention the very obvious username similarity with the sockmaster (i.e. the '*'). This farm has had a number of accounts involved so I think a CU would be useful to see if any sleepers are found. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 14:15, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

The following comment from my previous filing remains relevant: All also seem to bump up their edit count by playing The Wikipedia Adventure and then diving straight into creating mainspace vanity articles. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 14:27, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I just came here to file an SPI saying the same things, playing The Wikipedia Adventure, the username and the recreation of an article also created by the sockmaster. Looking at the deleted edit history of that page, it seems like there are at least 3 or 4 sockpuppets identified already so it might be helpful to tag them and create a category so that editors in the future can check out the similarities.

  Thanks, Spicy (talk) 22:43, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
 * - per filing, behavioural evidence is obvious and given the history, there's likely to be others. Please compare to previous socks and check for sleepers. For convenience, here are the accounts that TonyBallioni blocked in the previous filing:

 * I compared *Casper to the three non-stale accounts in the list above. They're  to Appropriateness and Lina Qu Windasari; even though there's a good user agent match, it's a very common agent, so I'm hesitant to say more than likely.  They're also  to Harmony425.  .  Due to the UA issue, and wide IP ranges, I didn't dive into sleepers. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:55, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. The username and recreation of sock articles makes this pretty obvious. - please indef the sock. Spicy (talk) 15:32, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
 * @Tamzin how much faith do you have that if I type "*Casper" into a block form, I won't accidentally delete the entire database? -- RoySmith (talk) 15:37, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Thanks. I moved the case to AminQdek, which is the oldest account. Tagged all as proven, for the unlocked accounts.  Closing. (On a side note, I noticed that *Considerate and *Casper were created through ACC. If any ACC members are reading this, you might want to be extra suspicious of accounts with asterisks in their names. :p) Spicy (talk) 19:54, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

The behaviors of this user are somehow similar to the previous sockpuppets of AminQdek, those include increasing edit counts by playing The Wikipedia Adventure, and creating Nattha Platforms that again and again related to Tommy Jonathan Sinaga. — DanielWhernchend •  talk  13:17, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Seems pretty ducky on behavioral evidence... I think we can safely assume that anyone mentioning Sinaga is a sock, and it looks like idwiki has already come to that conclusion here. Thus can be blocked now as a duck, but there's a strong history of sleepers here, so . Given that the check might be somewhat complicated, and that there's an ongoing AfD and it would be nice to save some editor-hours with a G5, also for an indef on behavioral evidence while we wait.  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 13:30, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
