Because I don’t have much time, I have about 5 minutes left to edit, but I still want to initiate an investigation first.

Because time is short, in short, this list is the account or IP that has made the same edit.

The most similar ones are 156.146.62.35 and Benkovac Zrinjski. For this reason, I edited Macau Tower today to test his reaction. He reflected and repeated the editing of 156.146.62.35. The same problem occurred on page Hotan Prefecture, but the editing of page Hotan Prefecture Not my test.Note 156.146.62.35 is PROXY. PS:I will back in 14:00.2402:7500:4D7:B96D:0:0:13B2:7B3 (talk) 23:15, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I found this a page in https://spur.us/context/181.40.18.61 ,the page code that 181.40.18.61 belongs to the surfshark VPN.2402:7500:5D5:CA08:0:0:8DBD:6EC5 (talk) 10:26, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I use https://www.proxydocker.com/en/cidr/181.40.18.61 confirm PROXY, found that 181.40.18.61 is PROXY'''.2402:7500:5D5:CA08:0:0:8DBD:6EC5 (talk) 10:32, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * On the Inner mongolia,1 Proxy and 3 account had same edit.The earliest edit is by 107.171.178.129,take over by CaradhrasAiguo, the nearest takeover is BenkovacZrinjski.2402:7500:5D5:CA08:0:0:8DBD:6EC5 (talk) 10:53, 29 January 2021 (UTC)


 * I think using the timeline function of https://tools.wmflabs.org/sigma/editorinteract.py must be more accurate than my description, so Inner Mongolia is taken as an example.2402:7500:5D5:CA08:0:0:8DBD:6EC5 (talk) 11:10, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Because the editing time is similar and it is a newly registered account, Hlillam is added to this page. It cannot be ruled out that he is both a good person and a bad person. 2402:7500:4D7:409A:0:0:1411:A547 (talk) 18:15, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Note that BenkovacZrinjski and PunishedSnake95 are participate in the deletion of a large amount of content soon after registration.(The difference between their registration time is less than 4 hours, which is 235 minutes to be correct)2402:7500:4D7:409A:0:0:1411:A547 (talk) 18:15, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Suggest a WP:BOOMERANG. They seem to be accusing every user who have reverted their contributions as one single sockmaster, which is absurd. This IP hopper which seems to all geolocate somewhere to Taipei, Taiwan has been making terse POV edits on Chinese related articles (whatever their political positions may be) and it's a pain in the ass to constantly restore it back. I mean take a look at this, and that's only one example. It's highly likely that these IPs are just logged out (WP:LOUTSOCK), as the username is written in traditional Chinese characters, which are used in Taiwan and not in mainland China. Not to mention these IPs restoring that users' edits. Most of the articles have been semi-protected now, but if that username decides to revert it back, it all but confirms it.

 * Update: Some of their ranges here, here and here have been blocked for 31 hours, but expect to see this behavior continue. BenkovacZrinjski (talk) 17:30, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

The IP listed above (already blocked as a proxy) made a number of series of edits on 24 December that appear to be an edit war with another IP. The next day, both the two users above were created, and continued the IP edit war across multiple pages. All three appeared on Template:Chinese democracy movement IPBZPS and Donggar Township IPBZPS. The IP and BZ further overlapped on a number of articles, eg.IPBZ. BZ and PS further overlapped on Democracy movements of China BZPS, double-teaming an edit war there as well. There's also an unusual amount of WP knowledge for new users displayed. CMD (talk) 18:26, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Note to admins: an identical report by a bad faith hopping IP (accusing me with PunishedSnake95 and this same IP, and like 5 more users) was made on 28 January 2021 against me, which closed without evidence. It's easy to accuse others as socks whenever there's disagreements over a content dispute. Also seems inappropriate to demand checkuser again without substantial evidence.

 * . Listed sock is too for checkuser data, and no useful logs exist.  ~Oshwah~  (talk)  (contribs)   03:25, 9 April 2021 (UTC)


 * I agree that BenkovacZrinjski is displaying WP:PRECOCIOUS knowledge, and that they have overlapping interests with PunishedSnake95. But, looking specifically at their editing history vs that of PunishedSnake95, I don't see anything that makes me think they're the same person.  Closing with no action taken. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:58, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
