Ducks. For the accounts that have edited here, the edits and the topics of the articles that the accounts frequent are pretty much identical. The edits in question are either all vandalism or just plain disruptive. Also see the Chinese SPI sock page here, where each of the above accounts are implicated as socks of User:CIH0426. All of the accounts listed above also exist on the English Wikipedia. Although a few of the named accounts above have been blocked (CU blocked, I might mention), most of them are not. These accounts appear to have originated from the Chinese Wikipedia before migrating here; the sockmaster also vandalizes at a couple of other Wikipedia sites as well. Most of the later socks migrated here after the sockmaster was indeffed on the Chinese Wikipedia. One sock in particular, "My doom," has been Globally Locked for cross-wiki vandalism on at least 4 different Wikimedia Project sites, so this may be a larger cross-wiki abuse case that needs the attention of the Stewards. Given the recent socking spree and cross-wiki vandalism, I'm requesting a CheckUser to run a Sleeper Check and to also block the underlying IP(s). The accounts should also all be Globally Locked, as this clearly isn't just another case of localized vandalism.  Light and Dark2000  (talk) 07:54, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
 * The IP has been implicated in the Global Account log of My doom. The IP has been CU blocked on the Chinese Wikipedia.  Light and Dark2000  (talk) 08:02, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Actually, it appears that there is one rangeblock in place. However, the first sock IP listed is not blocked yet (and a rangeblock would be useful for that sock IP as well). The rangeblock should probably be expanded to 163.20.151.0/24.  Light and Dark2000  (talk) 12:49, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

. See the editing history at the Chinese Wikipedia, and this users's SPI page on the Chinese Wikipedia. This user's editing patterns are identical to that of CIH0426 and his other sockpuppets, and they edit at the same type of articles. This sock has already been indeffed at the Chinese Wikipedia, but this sock account is also registered here and has yet to be blocked. CIH0426 has a history of cross-wiki vandalism and abuse, so this sock account needs to be blocked as well (and all of this vandal's accounts need to be Globally Locked to prevent further damage on other Wikimedia sites). Interestingly, this sock account appears to have migrated here (automatic registration) very soon after this vandal's other sock accounts did so. Requesting a Sleeper Check and a block on the underlying IPs (if they haven't already been blocked).  Light and Dark2000  (talk) 00:18, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

There's no reason to block this account unless they edit here. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:17, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
