Similarly exclusive focus on taxonomy-related articles, odd "made an account" statement at the IP as the first edit, while edits from the IP in question started in July. Ddum 5347 was blocked for 0RR conditions violation in May. J0ngM0ng posted at Talk:Dall sheep immediately after a massive set of taxonomic changes by Dương Vinh Hoàng relating to brief, and now-under-discussion renaming of Dall sheep to Thinhorn sheep.

The 74 IP is definitely me, but I made that post so that anyone could know that the edits I made while I didn't have an account were the same person (and to avoid confusion/this exact sockpuppet situation). The banned editor in question has no relation to me at all; I just think this is blown out of proportion and coincidental, since we have the same interests, and I started to edit shortly after their ban. As for the "Duong" account, I have no relation whatsoever to them, I simply agree in their edits for the "Thinhorn sheep" change. I know better than to make a different account just to push an agenda. J0ngM0ng (talk) 17:00, 14 September 2021 (UTC)


 * J0ngM0ng has also made contentious edits at List of mammals of South Australia (see . ), which Ddum5347 also previously edited. leading to protracted disputes. At List of mammals of Antarctica, between the latest two edits by J0ngM0ng there's another IP that may be of interest, only active for a couple of days over a similar range of subject matter:




 * This may indicate editing while being logged out. Bahudhara (talk) 01:59, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Checking the history of that IP will find that it is not me; I disagree with, and have reverted, some of their edits. Additionally, I edited List of mammals of South Australia to remove feral animals, since those are not traditionally counted in lists of mammals on Wikipedia. A discussion of that can be found at the page's talk page. J0ngM0ng (talk) 02:27, 15 September 2021 (UTC)


 * As J0ngM0ng has done this on multiple lists of Australian species lists, I've initiated the discussion at the Australian Wikipedians' notice board, at Feral species being removed from lists of mammal species. Bahudhara (talk) 03:47, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Earlier I tagged three additional IPs I suspect these to be socks based on the articles edited and the specific edits made in the timeframe after Ddum5347 was blocked.-- Kev min  § 15:00, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Prior IP edits
This account (active 3 June 2020 - 5 February 2021) overlaps the creation of the Ddum5347 account on 6 August 2020, with edits covering a similar range of subject matter. A WHOIS check shows the same IP service provider and location as the 74.68.117.176 address listed above, which J0ngM0ng confirmed as being him. Bahudhara (talk) 06:29, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

is editing the same narrow focus of articles as and their sock, such as Caribbean taxa, lists of taxa from locations, and IUCN data. all three have edited the very obscure fossil primate article Insulacebus for example.-- Kev min  § 00:17, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Why are you accusing me of this? I don't know those accounts. I only edited the Insulacebus page from finding it through the Jamaican monkey page. Monserrrr (talk) 00:53, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

The Groovehx account was created after 's last edit before they were blocked as Ddum5347's last known sockpuppet. Both Groovehx and Monserrrr added the same material to . The Editor Interaction Analyser also shows all three editors' interest in articles about mammals. KyleJoan talk 16:32, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Looking at the diffs in the filing, the overlaps on other obscure pages, the combined interest in pro wrestling and taxonomy, and the general aggressive editing style, I am convinced that this is a sock of Ddum5347. - please indef the sock. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 04:22, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I took a quick look for other accounts - Groovehx is ✅ to Monserrrr, didn't see any obvious sleepers. Closing.  Girth Summit  (blether)  09:15, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Rodella2 has exclusively edited within the topic of professional wrestling. A distinctive outlier (i.e., ) happens to be an article the sockmaster has edited and belongs to a topic the master also took interest in (i.e., animals). Identical edits to a first sentence. Reverting unsourced material on some articles, adding it on others. KyleJoan talk 16:55, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

is editing the same narrow focus of articles as and their other socks, focusing on Caribbean taxa, lists of taxa from locations, and IUCN data. All three have edited in a very similar manor on the List of animals from ... articles as shown by the interaction timeline, along with attention to Sea mink, Wolf reintroduction, and Hispaniolan solenodon-- Kev min  § 16:28, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Same topic area of animal articles, including lists of animals native to particular geographic regions. The interaction timeline shows extensive article overlap, including for very infrequently edited articles that only a handful of other users have edited, like List of mammals of Jamaica.

 * - The following edit summaries have not been used by any other editor at least since 2020:, , , . All previous accounts are stale, but page overlap and edit summaries are idiosyncratic enough that I'm sure it's the same person. Please, block as suspected. Thank you.
