 * WP:DUCK. Just look at the username, User:Anticommintern1 is clearly used to circumvent the indef block that User:Anticomintern received due to long term disruptive editing. Same edits, with zero variance. User:Anticomintern was indef blocked for vandalising China-related articles; User:Anticommintern1 is doing the exact same thing. For example, this edit replaces "中华" (China) with "支那" (Shina (word), an ethnic slur akin to "chink", "chinaman", etc.); compare this with similar behaviour here, here, here, et cetera. -- benlisquare T•C•E 12:02, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * Admin action needed - . Please, indef the sock.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  16:53, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
 * In the future, please do not inform editors about sockpuppet investigation you file against them per WP:BEANS. It is best to leave to clerks and admins to decide whether it is needed to inform the user. By pointing him to the investigation, you just help him to understand how we detect socks, so that it would be harder to detect him next time.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  16:56, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Noted, thanks for the pointer. I'm too used to WP:ANI procedures, and assumed that it was common protocol to notify users involved in SPIs as well, my bad. -- benlisquare T•C•E 17:00, 9 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Sock blocked and tagged. Closing. Salvio Let's talk about it! 12:53, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
