 * - Given the number of accounts involved, a check for sleepers is probably a good idea. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:01, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

All three making same edits to Sheng Yilun (see also CA blocks on ZH wiki.) Requesting CU for sleepers. CHRISSY MAD ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  15:34, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
 * What edits? This account has zero edits.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  18:46, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

 * AprilMaple2016, GuardForSecurity, and 网黑克星 are ✅ to one another.
 * The other accounts appear to be ❌ to each other or the three above. . ​—DoRD (talk)​ 21:44, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Please block the two confirmed socks indefinitely. The master account has already been inactive longer than any block I would have recommended, so I think we can leave them unblocked. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:56, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Why would we block an account with no edits ? We usually don't do that.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  20:31, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Since they've already misused multiple accounts, I think restricting them to just one is worthwhile. It's also not like there's any doubt that this is the same person (see this comment from zhwiki). Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:46, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Why wouldn't they be blocked? Confirmed socks, whether they've edited or not, should always be blocked. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 20:54, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
