The sockpuppeteer was blocked in November 2018 for disruptive editing and the Dimaz Gilang account was created in January of this year. The most obvious connection is the usernames; Dimas gilang vs Dimaz Gilang, exactly the same except for the S changing to a Z and the Gilang being capitalized. Both accounts have tried to create the Angela/Angel Tee actress page from a redirect (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Angel_Tee&action=history). Both accounts have a similar style of writing articles, e.g. using poor English and words to watch (compare Special:PermaLink/868764687 with Angela Lee (Indonesian actresses)). The sockpuppeteer has been known to edit disruptively while logged out. SkyGazer 512 My talk page 16:56, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

See overlap here, here, restoring DG's content and same interests in Angel Tee, as well as a few others. Praxidicae (talk) 13:14, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

 * . Given the overlap highlighted by Praxidicae, as well as other idiosyncrasies (compare to ), the connection between these accounts is pretty clear to me. Mz7 (talk) 19:28, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Edits are reversions of reversions of edits of other users resetting pages to before sockpuppet edits. robertsky (talk) 11:41, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

 * This is almost certainly Dimas gilang (see also that the IP is from Indonesia), but I'm afraid that after two edits and 18 hours of inactivity, this IP is too stale to be actionable. There hasn't been enough recent activity on this IP address to warrant a block. Mz7 (talk) 21:01, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

To be honest, evidence for this one is a bit thin but my spidey senses are tingling. Nurgirl13 has been around for a while, I did notice her before and viewed her edits with suspicion, but didn't look too deeply then. However, after the creation of Nussa today I have looked more deeply and Nurgirl13 demonstrates a similar editing pattern to Dimas gilang and, a blocked sockpuppet. Creation of articles with improperly formatted infoboxes that contained multiple errors and uploading images without appropriate supporting information are the most obvious similarities, but so is occasionally uploading images with exactly what should be provided. It's been demonstrated over and over that Dimas gilang and socks are well aware of what is required but they just don't care. I do remember some examples in Roseirena's edits but they have all been deleted so I can't provide diffs at this time.  Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 08:00, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

 * - in addition to behavioural similarities and niche topic overlap, note that Nurgirl13 stopped editing the day before was created, and didn't edit again until after that account was blocked. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:30, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Both accounts . Despite the unlikely finding, the existence of a (likely) sock suggests to me that the very specific lack of time overlap with Roseirena is not a coincidence. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:19, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Similar major interest in Angel Tee to sockmaster and previous sock User:Roseirena. Recreated the article from its previous redirect state. Compare, for example, this version by Roseirena and this recent version by AngelFanatee11 - note the similar content (including telling us how handsome the subject's first husband was), both spell "career" as "carrer", and both have issues with English genders - the former article says "he also became a music producer" and the latter both says "he is known to be quite talented" and refers to her (male) partner as a "girlfriend" at one point. creffett (talk) 17:01, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Small followup - as best I can tell the article is being rewritten each time, they're not just using undo or copy/paste to restore an old version, which is why I think the spelling/grammar peculiarities are evidence that it's the same person behind the account. creffett (talk) 17:04, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Interesting thought...I'm not that familiar with either case (or the band that both sock groups are interested in), but I suppose it's possible. From a skim of both cases, one bit of technical evidence I noticed is that (at least the last few) Natly socks do almost all of their editing using the mobile web interface, whereas Dimas gilang's socks (and AngelFanatee11) use a mix of visual edits, mobile edits, and edits which don't get an edit interface tag (so the normal non-visual editor). Since I don't see any evidence of Natly socks being active on Angel Tee, my money is on this editor being a Dimas gilang sock. creffett (talk) 18:47, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Just an FYI, I have restored the redirect per last year's AfD outcome. It's interesting that the very first post by AngelFanatee11 was to User talk:Hanif Al Husaini. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 17:18, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
 * As I look more and more at previous edits by other socks and the latest posts on my talk page, the more convinced I am that is correct. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 18:08, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

 * It's worth considering whether this is Sockpuppet investigations/Natly 88. There isn't enough recent data from either Dimas gilang or any Natly 88 socks for me to give a proper result, but the ranges that AngelFanatee11 is using have also been checked before as Natly 88 socks were using them, and the original report in Sockpuppet investigations/Natly 88/Archive refers to some of the same subject areas.
