Suspected sockpuppets
(Evidences start below, the first 4 paragraphs is details of a related incident)

Details: There is currently a dispute: In articles about former and incumbent Prime Ministers of Thailand and also Governor of Bangkok. Starting with another user added an ordinal number in an infobox in 3 articles of Governor of Bangkok, then I was inspired by that user, after that I added same type of information in Governor of Bangkok‘s articles that user did not added and I also added same type of information in Prime Ministers of Thailand‘s articles

9 hours later, it was all reverted by User:Doublebkkfc. And then I found out so I politely wrote a message on User talk:Doublebkkfc because I just want to find a consensus in this situation. And then I reverted all of it back. About 3 days later, this IP 2001:FB1:5C:A161:4CB1:9A9A:CF93:680D reverted all my edits back since it’s made by IP, not by user, so it has shown Non-autoconfirmed user rapidly reverting edits’ tag.

3 days later, I found out that my edits were reverted, again, I politely wrote the message on User talk:2001:FB1:5C:A161:4CB1:9A9A:CF93:680D to find a consensus. And then I reverted all of it back.

Due to a lot of rapidly revert by 2001:FB1:5C:A161:4CB1:9A9A:CF93:680D an admin ToBeFree has come to warn about edit war on this IP’s talk page and my user talk page. I took an advice from an admin: ToBeFree that I should not revert it back by myself and if I have seen that someone revert again I will tell ToBeFree.

This section is part of evidences

On 5 June 2022, after I discussed with an admin:ToBeFree, this IP 2001:FB1:5C:A161:4CB1:9A9A:CF93:680D has come back to start to revert my edit again

At 15:01, this IP has start to revert here: Special:Diff/1091652179 followed by several reverts that using undo method by this IP.

At 15:05, I was found out that this IP is reverting then I ping to ToBeFree.

At 15:08 this IP had been partially blocked due to edit warring by ToBeFree here: Special:Diff/1091653278.

So the last edit by this IP was happened At 15:07 here: Special:Diff/1091653219.

There are 5 articles left that this IP did not revert.

A surprisingly seamless continuity

On 5 June 2022 after this IP 2001:FB1:5C:A161:4CB1:9A9A:CF93:680D had been partially blocked by an admin:ToBeFree, at 15:08, and then  just only 2 minutes after  User:Doublebkkfc has come to continue reverting on 5 articles that this IP has left.

Just only 2 minutes.

At 15:10 User:Doublebkkfc start to revert on Thawi Bunyaket, the first articles in 5 articles that this IP has left, here: Special:Diff/1091653609 followed by 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in this wave of revert by User:Doublebkkfc and the last revert in this wave on Phraya Manopakorn Nitithada here: Special:Diff/1091653686.

I think that User:Doublebkkfc has been able to continue to revert after this IP can’t, it was a surprisingly seamless continuity.

That’s too incredible to be a coincidence.

And that makes me think this is sockpuppetry by User:Doublebkkfc, logging out and using IP to edit instead but also revealing by using an account to continue reverting after IP wasn’t able to do.

The interested question if it is not a sockpuppetry:

Where have User:Doublebkkfc been?

Why User:Doublebkkfc is able to revert in 2 minutes?

Why User:Doublebkkfc know which articles should be reverted next?'''

(End of evidences section)

6 reasons why I think IP 2001:FB1:5C:A161:4CB1:9A9A:CF93:680D is User:Doublebkkfc’s sockpuppet:

1. Patterns of revert are the same –– 2nd wave of revert by this IP and wave of revert by this User are the same pattern: starting with Governor of Bangkok articles Chadchart Sittipunt to Chamlong Srimuang and then Prime Minister of Thailand articles Prayut Chan-o-cha to Phraya Manopakorn Nitithada but during 2nd wave of revert by this IP User:ToBeFree has block this IP so this IP can revert on Prime Minister of Thailand articles to Pridi Banomyong and then this User coming in, only 2 minutes after, to continue to revert on Prime Minister of Thailand articles, 5 articles left, from Thawi Bunyaket to Phraya Manopakorn Nitithada.

2. A surprisingly seamless editing –– after IP was blocked by User:ToBeFree only 2 minutes after this User coming in to continue to revert an unfinished task from IP. It was too incredible to be a coincidence.

3. Both are using same method to revert –– User:ToBeFree and this IP are using same method undo method to revert the articles to be their preferred version.

4. Both are interested in Football related articles –– before this IP was reverted my edits this IP just edited in Football related articles such as AFC U-23 Asian Cup and BG Stadium surprisingly matches with edits from User:Doublebkkfc that have been done in Football related articles too such as Thai League 1 and BG Pathum United. Especially BG Stadium, that was edited by this IP, is the home of BG Pathum United, that was edited by User:Doublebkkfc.

5. This user knows this IP’s gender –– User:Doublebkkfc refer to this IP as him. Why User:Doublebkkfc khows this IP’s gender? this IP can be male, female, or LGBTQIA+.

6. Geolocation of this IP is in Bangkok, Thailand –– The data from whois indicates that this IP is in Bangkok, Thailand surprisingly matches with bkk (acronym of Bangkok) in User:Doublebkkfc’s name.

Aftermath

On 6 June 2022 The user who inspired me to add an ordinal number in an infobox, had done 7 reverts in Governor of Bangkok articles: 1a, 2a, 3a, 4a, 5a, 6a, and 7a.

On 7 June 2022 That 7 reverts were all reverted back by User:Doublebkkfc, again, here: 1b, 2b, 3b, 4b, 5b, 6b, and 7b.

 * It has wrote on WP:SOCK policy that Logging out to make problematic edits as an IP address is various form of sockpuppetry.
 * So this account reverted and then logged out to using IP reverted again.
 * I think that is a problem against Wikipedia policy.
 * Sorry for bothering you but please explain to me more about your decision.
 * Thank you a lot for your time.

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * CU, I suggest you find a way to express your concerns more concisely. The length and eccentric formatting of this report make it very difficult to follow. Spicy (talk) 05:50, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * , the case will still be evaluated based on the behavioural evidence, but Checkuser will not be run to connect an account and an IP - that would be a violation of policy. Spicy (talk) 07:56, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I have converted 2001:FB1:5C:A161:0:0:0:0/64's block to a sitewide month-long hardblock just in case it has any effect. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 11:48, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * , who had been editing regularly until 2022-06-10T 09:55, stopped editing when the /64 block was converted to a hardblock at 2022-06-10T 11:43 and hasn't edited since. This may be the weakest kind of technical evidence one can provide at SPI, but at least it can be provided contrary to checkuser data. Together with the timing of Special:Diff/1091653219, the anon-only block and Special:Diff/1091653609 presented above, it's safe to say that has edit warred while logged out, was blocked for doing so, and logged in to continue immediately through the block. This was an attempt to mislead, not an accident, as Doublebkkfc denied being the same person.
 * I'm blocking for the remaining time of 2001:FB1:5C:A161:0:0:0:0/64's month-long sockpuppetry block. Closing. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:06, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
