 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by Laurent (talk)

The IP above make the same kind of POV-pushing edits as Eeeeeewtw, and started editing just right after Eeeeeewtw got a final warning for disrupting editing (and made nearly the same edit as Eeeeeewtw).

OK, let's look at the history;
 * 00:46 25th April - Final edit by account for over 5 days
 * 06:23 30th April - First IP edit
 * 13:32 30th April - Final IP edit during account's silence
 * 15:19 30th April - New edit by account
 * 15:24 30th April - New edit by account
 * 15:27 30th April - New IP edit
 * 15:33 30th April - L3 warning
 * 15:37 30th April - L4 warning
 * 15:39 30th April - Final IP edit

 * 1) If these are the same user (and I feel that they are), then the IP edits from 06:23 to 13:32 today are not an issue. We do not punish people who forget to log in.
 * 2) I am concerned that you issued a L3 and a L4 warning in succession without waiting for any further edits. If you felt a need to warn for both edits, they should both have been L3 warnings at worst.
 * 3) The IP edits at 15:27 and 15:39 are more troubling, as they cannot be explained as forgetting to log in, and I would be interested to hear what this user has to say about this.
 * 4) It is not correct to suggest that the IP started editing in reaction to a final warning. six of the 7 IP edits come before the final warning.


 * You're right that two warnings weren't necessary, however I feel that an L4 warning rather than L3 is more appropriate considering his long history of bad faith edits. Have a look at Eeeek's edit summaries - they are all like "repair vandalism", "minor edit", etc. while he's in fact making major (and controversial) changes to the articles. Laurent (talk) 15:31, 30 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Conclusions
 * Please tag/archive... IP looks fairly static and was blocked for a week. I gave a gentle warning to the account. On that matter the account had two sockpuppet templates, I removed both at this time as there is no legit assertion that the account is at all involved with Nationalist. (see history of Talk:Eeeeeewtw). ——  nix eagle email me 10:04, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure it's another IP of Eeeeeewtw. Similar edits on Taiwan-related articles, same misleading summary edits ("repair vandalism", "minor edits" to hide major POV-pushing changes). Note that Eeeeeewtw has been asked to stop doing IP edits one day ago by an admin.
 * Note: Eeeeeewtw has since been blocked for POV-pushing, but he's already back under a new username: . Laurent (talk) 10:40, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Please could someone do a checkuser on User:Irvmorevs. I'm pretty sure it's Eeeeeewtw again (newly created user, no constructive edits, immediately starts pushing the same POV on Taiwan articles, etc.).


 * Comments by accused parties    See Defending yourself against claims.


 * Comments by other users

The new account only has two edits, one minor and the other removing a single sentence that was already tagged with. Unless the user edits again or more evidence is presented, this case will be closed soon. Please also note that checkuser should be requested with the RFCU template. — Jake Wartenberg  02:40, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments
 * Since he's been blocked six or seven times already, he may be getting a bit more subtle than before. He started pushing the same POV on Republic of China though:   and also removed Taiwan (TWN) from this list:
 * He's continued editing; now I see what you mean. Probably enough for a block.  — Jake  Wartenberg  12:20, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

The first user is blocked in zhwiki as sock. The second repeated the first user's edit in Nanjing.

 * I blocked the PRC/ROC socks on Shanghai and Chongqing. The accounts I blocked were:




 * I'm not familiar enough with the other socks so I defer to the CU request. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:08, 16 August 2015 (UTC)


 * - All of these accounts made only one edit, or several repetitive edits, so see edit history for evidence. These seem to be throwaway accounts made to either make possibly nationalistic edits (first three groups) or petty vandalism (last group). I'm not sure if these are one group of socks, multiple groups of socks, or possibly just a mass of meatpuppets organized elsewhere, but it certainly looks like organized disruption. Endorsing checkuser to confirm, possibly find other socks, and rangeblock if necessary. Someguy1221 (talk) 03:53, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

All these are single-use accounts created solely to make one edit in one article: to change "Taiwan" to "Republic of China" in Template:Administrative divisions of Taiwan. These edits have taken place over the course of about 3 months, with significant escalation within the last 3 days. One account has already been blocked indefinitely (User:Werequalified). Diffs for each account are below:


 * Tuatt:
 * Maimsgsntaini:
 * Abeschool:
 * Werequalified:
 * Akrggionals:
 * Mo7531king:
 * Kobe Humphrey:
 * Bookcomus:
 * Politicalalways:

They mirror the actions of a previously banned user (User:Shaqfuckkobe) who also made a similar edit in August 2016.

 * Sorry to bother you, but some of these socks' names don't seem to be registered. Thanks, GABgab 16:53, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm aware – they've completed the first part of the registration process but not the second, and they're new enough where they could still do that and pop up with edits. There are others that are too stale and I didn't list those (and there were so many that I may have missed a few). Looks like the master is back so we'll just have to keep an eye open for him.
