Brand new editor, first edit is to Articles for deletion/Chase Koch, an AFD of an article created by Factorhk. In Sockpuppet investigations/Thursby16, Factorhk and Plainswin are extremely likely to be the same person. Plainswin has been insistent on adding a whole paragraph about an incident where Chase Koch, as a minor, ran a stop light and killed another minor. Arenwils also came in and added the whole paragraph back in. -- GB fan 17:04, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * DIFFS as requested
 * Factorhk originally created the article with the paragraph in it
 * Plainswin first ever edit was to reinsert the paragraph
 * Arenwils 4th thru 6th edits are pulling the information out of the section, expanding it back to what was in the article originally
 * Plainswin edit wars to keep the paragraph aboput the incident in the article
 * Arenwils reverts the information back into the article
 * Factorhk only edits concern Chase and Elizabeth Koch with a couple about their father, Special:Contributions/Factorhk
 * Plainswin only edits concern Chase and Elizabeth Koch, Special:Contributions/Plainswin
 * Arenwils only edits concern Chase and Elizabeth Koch, Special:Contributions/Arenwils
 * Factorhk is here for a day and then leaves, Plainswin comes in and edits a couple of days and leaves, Arenwils then shows up edits for a few hours and then is gone again.

 * Admin action needed - Block all, clearly the same user. If there are more, consider reporting them here and AIV (also if you notice sleepers, report).  QEDK  ( T  &#9749;  C ) 09:29, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

KingOfKingsTheAssassin and Thursby16 are already confirmed sock puppets. On April 8, new user is created and immediately becomes active on all the same pages Factorhk is.

Even though its a "Weak possible" between Factorhk and KingOfKingsTheAssassin, the resemblance between Factorhk and Plainswin is uncanny. DaltonCastle (talk) 17:45, 8 April 2016 (UTC) DaltonCastle (talk) 17:45, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

 * per provided diffs. The protection and edit warring of Plainswin on articles Factorhk created merits a deeper look. Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 22:17, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * and are extremely  to be the same user.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots  23:10, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Any connection to the suspected master, Thursby16, or should the cases be split? Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 23:23, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * It's very weakly . Behaviour will be the clincher.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 23:27, 11 April 2016 (UTC)


 * I don't think the evidence is enough to confirm this group to Thursby16 based on the CU result plus behavior. Therefore, could an admin issue blocks against Factorhk and Plainswin as appropriate, and move this investigation (not the above one) to a new master (Factorhk)? Thanks.

 * New update: Can we add User:Arenwils to this list of suspected socks or should I start a new SPI? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DaltonCastle (talk • contribs) 17:07, 18 April 2016‎ (UTC)
 * , I have already created the new SPI at Sockpuppet investigations/Factorhk. -- GB fan 17:17, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks. DaltonCastle (talk) 17:18, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * It'd be great if an admin could, after the listed socks are blocked as needed, split the history of this SPI, move only the revisions pertaining to the 08 April 2016 SPI to Sockpuppet_investigations/Factorhk, and undelete the revisions of Sockpuppet_investigations/Factorhk that were deleted by the forced move. It's slightly frustrating that the new SPI was filed before the history changing, as it complicates the history merger quite a bit; might have been better to file on this page. Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 04:49, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Hoo boy. I think I understand, but do you want it histmerged to Sockpuppet investigations/Factorhk/Archive or to Sockpuppet investigations/Factorhk? Making sure before I dig into this, and it'll probably be in the morning before I do it because we're about to have weather here. Katietalk 03:20, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Please histmerge it to Sockpuppet investigations/Factorhk. Thanks! Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 13:39, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Kevin, I think I got it. You might need to do some cleanup on the Thursby page (like go back one version, before your own page move). I can redo it if I need to, though. No big deal. :-) Katietalk 02:44, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Closing. Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 01:19, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
