Blindingly obvious. Yesterday the following socks of Eh Doh were confirmed by checkuser and blocked:

This account (Shuumaukthar ) was created within 2 hours of the above blocks. Same modus operandi: creates articles/drafts on Myanmar geography that are copy pastes from bot-created articles on Swedish Wikipedia,. Creates drafts on user and talk pages,. Removes SPEEDY from article that was created by Sangkaburi Gallery. Voceditenore (talk) 10:01, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Same MO as all the other socks: obsession with Myanmar geography, especially Kayin state. Registered a new account 2 hours after the last of the previous socks were blocked, goes straight to articles edited by previous socks , , ,. Pretty much a duck, but there may be sleepers.

Same obsession with topics related to Myanmar, and especially Kayin State. Nonwar registers account within hours of the last sock being blocked on 21 November,. Obviously not new user. First edit a draft for Hpa-An University in his sandbox with all templates and coordinates in place. Like previous socks, proceeds to plaster the draft in other inappropriate places, e.g. User talk:Nonwar/sandbox, Draft talk:Hpa-An University. On 25 November Jingercoconut registers an account and with first edit, plasters the same Hpa-An University material at Wikipedia talk:Requests for page protection and 10 minutes later edits Draft:Hpa-An University, created by Nonwar. Nonwar has subsequently created Hpa-An University which he and Jingercoconut are now editing alternately.

Between 22 and 24 November the two above listed IPs had started editing Tagundaing, Kayin State (the main target of virtually all the previous socks), taking up where Johnelor left off,. Jingercoconut shows up there on 25 November and continues where the IPs left off. He then creates his user talk page with "I am Volunteer.". He goes on to create Nonwar's user talk page with "I'm just a volunteer.". Earlier, Nonwar had created his own user page with "I am just learner.".

The reason I'm asking for checkuser despite the extremely loud quacking is that Johnelor was blocked on "duck" grounds without a checkuser, but I now see that on his user page, he had written on 19 November "Hi I contribute to Myanmar related articles. I have no plan to delete other wiki account." I have no idea to whom he was referring as this was written several days before Nonwar and Jingercoconut created their accounts and after the last known sock was indef blocked. So Lord knows who else is out there. Note that Johnelor also claims "I first created the article about Tagondaing.". That article was created by the sockmaster Eh Doh. Although Johnelor's user page on 19 November with its userboxes etc. looks more elaborate than those of Nonwar and Jingercoconut, he appears to have copied it from this user page of a long-term Myanmar editor, including the text which he modified slightly to reflect his own alleged date and place of birth.

 * I've had my eye on this lot for several weeks and have added , all of them quacking loudly, but I'll add a few examples below. Same obsession with topics related to Myanmar, and especially locations and entities in Kayin State. Samurai0001 re-created Hpa-An University, originally created by confirmed sock of Eh Doh and deleted per G5 . This article has also been edited by Jonhmethar above . Samurai0001 has also re-created Winyaw River, a known target of Eh Doh and his socks and previously deleted three times per G5 (socks of Eh Doh) . This article has also been edited by User:Googlemap2018 above. Voceditenore (talk) 08:51, 27 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Jonhmethar creates Draft:Winpauk Taung (English = Mount Winpauk) on 28 January. Wonnral adds to it . Googlemap2018 creates Mount Winpauk by copying the draft verbatim including grammatical errors on 31 January . Voceditenore (talk) 09:24, 27 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Finally, their behaviour on user and user talk pages follows the usual pattern of pretending to be new (and separate users) and sending messages to each other. Observe the messages on Samurai0001 ' s talk page from Googlemap2018 and Jonhmethar . K Mahn contacts an established editor asking for help because he is completely new, after which he immediately creates 9 new perfectly formatted articles . Jonhmethar refers to both Samurai0001 and K Mahn as "seniors". , . Googlemap2018 ' s first edit was I'm starts to use wikipedia. Please guide to me, Seniors. On his user page K Mahn provides a "biography" in which he claims to be 28 years old , the same age claimed by confirmed sock Johnelor . Voceditenore (talk) 10:10, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
