Followup on ANI thread, which led to the master + three id.wiki socks (first three listed) being blocked. Note idwiki investigation of master and blocks there.

The cinnamon, Mataram Putra, and Anaya Fayola Amijaya were blocked given idwiki block and overlap on Sekala Brak.

Mike herlin is blocked on id.wiki as a sock, and their single edit on en.wiki at Pagaruyung Kingdom overlaps with other accounts.

Rini milia fitriani has been edit-warring in tandem and close succession with Monalisa indrawati. The two other articles they edited were created by Dedy Tisna Amijaya.

Dedy tisna amijaya07 is an obvious username duck, and has overlapped on articles.

Monalisa indrawati overlaps on topics and several articles. They also mark every single edit as minor like the master.

All of Sutarnoaja's 4 undeleted edits here overlap with Dedy Tisna Amijaya creations. This is weaker, but considering the amount of smoke here...

Jaya CFJ 99 is blocked on idwiki and is non-stale (though all four edits are deleted) on en.wiki.

Dastan Rajata Amijaya and Edwin789 are blocked on idwiki as a sock in the case, no edits on en.wiki.

There are a bunch of one-off accounts single edit accounts at Lampung coat of arms (created by master). Hard to day anything definitive about them and relation to master, though and  seem related based on user names.

Given the large number of accounts involved, asking for a CU to uncover additional accounts if visible.  Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 13:24, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Also Sockpuppet investigations/JassenMarang17 is a recently active en.wiki/id.wiki case (though using the mobile editor, unlike this set), with a case opened on 9 September leading to blocks. I don't see evidence beyond the id.wiki connection, but placing this here in case someone else does see a connection.-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 13:28, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Solely focused on the same group of articles, e.g. Sekala Brak and Draft:Kepaksian Sekala Brak 2: brand new editors finding such an oddly named draft? Don't think so. Also a whole bunch of IPs in the 182.1. ... range. Disrupting AfDs by removing AfD templates, making mainspace articles worse (e.g. old version vs. their version filled with bare urls. Fram (talk) 16:09, 4 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I was looking over some of these articles and decided to share a few of the very many IP accounts that are being used on these articles after some of these editors have been blocked. Could we have a small range-block? Liz Read! Talk! 04:11, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I have added two more related IPs to the list (and removed two dupes). –Austronesier (talk) 07:04, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

 * A bit too odd to be a coincidence. Also Sejambak is blocked for a year on id.wiki for what appears to be COI.-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 16:15, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
 * It looks as if this is either one person or a circle closely affiliated to that person. From what I could glean from various of their web pages, they claim royal ancestry that extends back many centuries, and even boast of having played a major role in the introduction of Islam in the region. This smells like fabricated history to uplift the status of some petty local nobility, using social media and WP to promote this agenda. Even if there are some genuine oral traditions behind it, the sockmaster has a blatant COI, is completely unwilling to communicate – NB also in Indonesian WP, so it's not just the language barrier. A careful rangeblock as suggested by makes sense here. –Austronesier (talk) 09:31, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Three versions of the same article have now been deleted. I'm sure by the end of the weekend, a 4th will have been created. I hope that this case gets some attention soon. Liz Read! Talk! 02:29, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I only see two versions (the last one you restored and sent to AfD). If I am missing smth and there are indeed three we should creation-protect the article.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:25, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
 * It's confusing because the pages were moved around a lot, recreated and the titles are slightly different but some are listed in Articles for deletion/Kepaksian Sekala Brak Kuno: Kepaksian Sekala Brak Kuno, Kepaksian Sekala Brak, Draft:Sekala Brak, Sekala Brak and there still is Draft:Kepaksian Sekala Brak 2 which had been moved to Wikipedia space and given a different title until I reversed the move. As you can see in Expertonthe's contributions, there is a lot of moving going on here. Liz Read! Talk! 21:53, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

 * for a sleeper check on the named accounts. I've added and  to the list for similar disruptive editing on the same articles (see  and ). I think all of these accounts are blockable based on behaviour alone but since they're creating a lot of socks I'd like CU to make sure that we're not missing any.The IPs are a bit more difficult to deal with. A "small" rangeblock isn't going to be possible here, the ranges at hand are, , and . The /24 is exclusively being used by them at the moment and I would suggest that the closing admin block it anon-only for two weeks. The /16s have a good deal of unrelated activity and I think blocking would incur too much collateral. I would suggest just being very liberal with semi-protection on pages edited by this group. Semi-protection has already been applied to Lampung and Lampung people. A mass MfD for the sock drafts is probably in order. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 21:24, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
 * As an interim measure to stop the ongoing disruption, I've blocked the most recently active accounts, plus . --Blablubbs (talk) 21:36, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
 * too. Might need widening in the future, but hopefully it will do the trick. Most of the remainder is on – given that there's collateral and not that much recent disruption, I'm going to hold off on that.  --Blablubbs (talk) 21:49, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm just noting that I've blocked Sejambak and Imin muslim as confirmed, and blocked Delpansepapan as likely (see later report). I haven't done a proper deep dive, and this might not have received the depth of CU investigation that it might warrant, so I'm currently leaving this as unchecked. -- zzuuzz (talk) 21:35, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Thess accounts were created after two previous socks (User:Supportcoc and User:Unmacid) were blocked by User:Blablubbs as suspected sockpuppets. These two previous socks were also heavily active while logged out.

@Anuedu, @Lourens8888, @Jesium edit the same pages as @Supportcoc, @Unmacid and the recent IP socks: etc., all of which were also edited by the sockfarm in 2021, adding similar content glorifying a local dynasty and always citing the webpage https://sekalabrak.com/ that appears to be linked to the sockmaster.
 * Lampung
 * Lampung people
 * Sumatra
 * Liwa, Indonesia

See also Draft:Kepaksian_Pernong_Sekala_Brak, which has been created @Lourens8888 and has been also edited by @Jesium. The article "Kepaksian Sekala Brak" was one of the main "projects" of the sockmaster.

Diffs by @Lourens8888 and @Jesium with matching edit summaries which clearly shows they are related to each other:

Again, the sock adds poor and unrelated content to diverse articles, tunnel-visioned focusing on Indonesia (and specifically Lampung-related info).

A dead givaway is here:, citing a poor source; some of the text added is not found in the source, but relates to the favorite topic of the sockmaster, such as "Batu Brak" or "kekhis, kawokh bukkok" (historical Lampung weapons). Austronesier (talk) 14:55, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Add There has been a follow-up IP edit in Prehistoric Indonesia (Mozarela28:, IP:) from an IP range that has been very active in socking over the last weeks.

Like the sockmaster and his countless socks, this new account is focussed on topics about history & politics of Indonesia, especially the province of Lampung. Central to their edits is always the promotion of the local kingdom Kepaksian Sekala Brak, tracing it back as first Islamic kingdom in Indonesia (against all historical logic and scholarship) to 7th century:

@Yaumilmahpud

@Subingjaya

Another topic range edited before are Islam-related topics, where they make additions usually based on random popular Indonesian web sites:

@Yaumilmahpud @Subingjaya
