What all three users all have in common are interested in Mongolian, Korean, and Chinese history.

YuanRuizong
YuanTaizu and YuanRuizong both especially upload images with uppercase letters (like File:BODIALAG KHAN.jpg) which has since been deleted (look here for evidence, you will find that their deleted images of the Northern Yuan khans have uppercase images. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:YuanRuizong https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:YuanTaizu) It’s also suspected in Commons that YuanRuizong is suspected sockpuppet of YuanTaizu (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:YuanRuizong.)

YuanTaizu and YuanRuizong both share the same word "Yuan" ending with a temple name (i.e. Taizu, Taizong, Gaozu, Duzong, etc...)

Here is YuanRuizong and YuanTaizu editing Korean articles.  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/870072555 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/871301540.

Also in the revision history for https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:History/Manggūltai, they both edit it, so unless it’s a coincidence, they are clearly linked in the article.

HanShizong1101
It might at first, see that HanShizong1101 might not be a sockpuppet but in this edit, (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/873903286) it shows that HanShizong1101 is adding a khan image. And in these two edits, it shows them removing the "left" in the image.  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/874096605  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/875281232.

In the first case, it’s replaced by the caption instead and in the other case, the "left" is removed altogether. What links these two to YuanRuizong is this edit where he removes the "left" too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/868751138.

Here is YuanRuizong and HanShizong1101 editing the same Korean article.  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/870072555 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/874726035.

Here is HanShizong1101 and YuanTaizu editing the Ancestors section.  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/867651206  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/874541241.

 * Pinging to let him have confirmation of his suspicions here and in case this helps with sorting this out at Commons.
 * Many thanks. Found Astrcast125 had uploaded deleted files previously uploaded by YuanRuizong (and others), and now I've blocked them. Ron h jones (Talk) 16:02, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Probably another sockpuppet of YuanTaizu. Astrcast125 is probably the master of the sockpuppets as it’s account was created older than YuanTaizu’s.

First of all, Astrcast125 edits along with HanShizong1101, a suspected sockpuppet of YuanTaizu on the now gone article https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:History/Anna_Maria_Wazówna.

Second of all, YuanTaizu and Astrcast125 both upload pictures of the Northern Yuan Dynasty Khans though Astrcast125’s are a bit lower quality and are now deleted.

Thirdly, YuanTaizu, YuanRuizong, yet another suspected sockuppet, and Astrcast125 all edit on this article, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:History/Manggūltai.

Fourthly, both HanShizong1101 and Astrcast edited on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:History/Wang_Ao_(Ming_dynasty).

Fifthly, they both share similarities on their userpages,
 * Astrcast125’s, “I'm not good at introducing myself, but topics that interest me are Chinese history, Mongolian history, and rarely European, Japanese, and Korean history.”


 * YuanTaizu’s, “I am neither good at starting this page or explaining myself, but I usually edit topics about Chinese, Korean, and Mongolian history. I would also like to ask you to please not edit this page.”

They both say that they are not good at introducing themselves and that they edit topics related to Chinese, Korean, and Mongolian history,

Sixthly, they add pictures on this article, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:History/List_of_Northern_Yuan_khans, in fact, all suspected sockuppets once edited on this one.

Finally, they like editing people’s ancestry.

Firstly, the IP user is related because the IP user and Astrcast125 (probably the sock master) edit on the same article, Taichang Emperor. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/875953408 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/875971559

Secondly, like all sockpuppets of YuanTaizu, they generally don’t provide a edit summary.

Thirdly, they add pictures to the Qing Dynasty Emperors, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/868721516 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/868597624

Fourthly, they add pictures to the Northern Yuan Khans, like YuanTaizu, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/865092921 Despite this, I really do not think this is a sockpuppet but it looks like a duck to me.

Sigh.

Firstly, he does not provide a edit summary like most sockpuppets of YuanTaizu.

Secondly, he adds images like most sockpuppets of YuanTaizu. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/875232529.

Thirdly, like some sockpuppets, he edited on Wang Ao. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/875099464

Fourthly, he is interested in Chinese articles editing them like most sockpuppets.

Fifthly, he likes to edit/add ancestry. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/875234545

Sixthly, a article that a sockpuppet made, Manggūltai, VansInAndOut edited on that one too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/875140036

Seventhly, VansInAndOut edited on https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kim_Kyong-hui.jpg, a image that YuanRuizong uploaded.

Sorry for the quickness of this filing but literally every single edit overlaps with this master and socks, they're rapid fire moving articles without any discussion. Praxidicae (talk) 12:55, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Blocked based on the overlap. some evidence (even just a link to the interaction tool with the reported sock and some already blocked ones) would have been good. Closing. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 07:49, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
