Hessa94 is an account created a month ago that autoconfirmed game to create a redirect at one of the G5s I deleted from yesterday’s batch of socks (see redirect). Creation of redirects and having IPs turn them into articles was a hallmark of this farm when I was cleaning up after it yesterday (I would diff, but on mobile and deleted diffs are a pain even on desktop. Can provide if needed.) This account was the previous name of, but it is unclear if they control it and it could just be a name somehow be registered in May (6 months after the rename.)

Xiaoxiuri’s only edit has been to ask me to restore the page created as a redirect above. Possibly a client rather than a sock, but worth listing to check given the coincidence of timing. TonyBallioni (talk) 12:25, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

My old username was Hessa94 which I changed more than a year ago, and some one else claimed the username about a month or so and was the sockpuppet using the name of my old account. I'm not the same person. CherryPie94 &#x1F352;&#x1f967; (talk) 20:16, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Xiaoxiurui is ❌.
 * Hessa94 + are ✅. . Centdevotee is a few months older (groan) than Boyhoodjams. I'll leave it up to a clerk to decide whether to play musical chairs again. The two accounts should be tagged after the clerk has decided.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:01, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I think it's just easier to leave this where it is. It's not like any of these accounts are clearly the main one, and I think stability is more important than strict adherence to convention. I also don't think we've seen the last of this guy, so we can always reevaluate this once we've got a clearer picture of the scope of the their sockpuppetry. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:06, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I didn't mean to tag your userpage. It was the result of a misclick in an automation tool I use for these cases. I'm very sorry about that. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:45, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

 * - In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
 * 1) At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
 * 2) At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
 * 3) In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  10:01, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

Won Jin-ah was created by the former and Choi Hee-seo was created by the latter nearly word-by-word, looks like a WP:DUCK. Likely needs a new sweep for sleepers. ℯ xplicit 00:12, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

Created redirect links for Chinese actors e.g. Zhu Xudan, Sebrina Chen, An Yuexi etc. (all previously deleted by User:TonyBallioni). Such MO should be familiar to those who have observed Boyhoodjams/Sockpuppet investigations/Xdeluna behaviors, User:GeneralizationsAreBad's summary more than a year ago is still pertinent:

"What happens is this:
 * NJHSKA will create a redirect
 * An IP shows up to expand the redirect into an article. There is clearly some IP-hopping involved, since I'm seeing Taiwan, Hong Kong, Ghana, Ivory Coast, etc. It also makes it difficult to discern what can/should be G5'd.
 * Songlia comes along and adds a photo."

For example, before his block created redirect links for Yang Shuo (actor) and Zhang Zhehan, which have both been "filled" different IPs. Timmyshin (talk) 21:17, 29 August 2018 (UTC) Timmyshin (talk) 21:17, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Same kind of redirects (Lareina Song is the English name of Song Zuer = Song Zu'er). Also had several edits involving a redirect for Moonshine & Valentine, notice Moonshine and Valentine had been deleted twice by User:TonyBallioni for sockpuppetry. Timmyshin (talk) 20:01, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

 * , this has some overlap with Sockpuppet investigations/Xdeluna, which you dealt with last year. The data there is stale, but not sure if there is anything in the logs that might be useful in connecting to other sleepers. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:53, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
 * 's description accurately describes what I'm seeing which leads me to think that Yysy may be Xdeluna. Yysy changes between disparate IPs on different continents rapidly. They do not show as proxies, webhosts/collocation hosts, etc. but quite obviously they are something like that regardless of what tools say. Blocking underlying IPs does not look practical and they are getting in a few anon edits before switching, too. Using semi-protection on some articles may be effective.
 * Given the overlap and the technical similarities, I’ve as a suspected sock of Xdeluna.  could a clerk move this report to the one I linked to above? Might need to archive the two above cases first. TonyBallioni (talk) 22:00, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
