 * Another WP:DUCK. They have edited the description of this photo of the sockmaster on commons, then came over here to make more of the same kind of edits as their previous accounts with broken English edit summaries. Username is very similar to previous accounts and one of their first edits here was to comment on the semi protection on the Black Eyed Pilseung article that was added due to their previous socking.
 * Requesting checkuser for sleeper check because this editor has created large batches of sockpuppets in the past.
 * This account was created before the rangeblock was placed by 86.23.109.101 (talk) 15:23, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Added DJSUQ92113 who hasn't edited yet but is an obvious Duck based on username and account creation time
 * Both these accounts have now been globally locked by Matanya. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 15:38, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Another duck account. First edit here was to create a talk page with the section "Merry Christmas DJ S UNIVERSE Q!". Also very strong username similarity with previous accounts.

After quite a long hiatus this sock master has returned to continue writing spam articles about himself. This account has reuploaded the DJ S Universe Q logo to commons and is using their sandbox to write an article about purple cat, a musician they've written spam articles on before User:STTN3201/sandbox. The username follows the same pattern as the accounts in the archive (block capitals followed by a random number) and they use the same broken english as previous accounts in edit summaries and the like. Requesting checkuser because this sock master has created huge batches of accounts in the past. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 01:34, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
