 * For reference the ANI discussion that led to the indef-block of and also confirmed he was a heap of trouble on huwiki. I wonder why we knew a month ago he was a sockmaster and didn't investigate then. ☺ ·   Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  17:40, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Listed, , as socks since they are in the huwiki socklist and have local enwiki accounts (the other huwiki socks don't); the first seems possible, the second is already indef'ed for vandalism, and the third has been stale for years and is much, much older,  but it is under the same SUL, so I'm not sure what to think.  and is unattached to a SUL so I'm fairly certain the enwiki account has nothing to do with the huwiki sock. I'm at work right now so hopefully another clerk will be able to look into this before I do. ☺ ·   Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  17:31, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
 * - Self-endorsed, although the edits weren't too similar, both accounts edited Nyíregyháza, which was a target of the vandalism (see Nyíregyháza metro) as well as a focus on metro articles ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  17:45, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

 * The case has been moved and tags updated to reflect the oldest account. Three of the globally locked accounts were not tagged, as they don't exist locally. Mike V • Talk 15:47, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Isn't there a tag specific to globally locked accounts? ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  16:07, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
 * You're right, I forgot about it. :) I've tagged the accounts with it. Mike V • Talk 18:19, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Actually, I was thinking of Locked global account, which provides global links, but no information about sockpuppetry; I'm also not sure whether the globally locked account names that don't have local accounts should be tagged or not, but I guess that does not make much difference? Userpage for non-existent accounts do get flagged in some database report as requiring maintenance so someone might come along at a later time, asking questions. ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  19:58, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

I only know of due to a previous sockpuppet,, who had a propensity of adding non-existent "systems", specifically always in Hungary, to the List of metro systems, like this, or posting nearly incomprehensible message to that article's Talk page, like this.

This new user,, has just done the same – diff – adding a non-existent system to the List of metro systems.

I grant you that it's unusual to file an SPI report based off a single edit. But this is such a weird, specific niche of disruptive editing, that I am hearing loud WP:QUACKing here. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 20:12, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I was afraid of that. I'm guessing this means that the only course of action is a "behavioral check"?... In any case, feel free to decline the CheckUser then. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 13:40, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

 * I'm familiar with the sockmaster. The behaviour evidence here is compelling. —Psychonaut (talk) 19:54, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

 * I have absolutely nothing to check against, the last sock in the archive is rather stale. Courcelles (talk) 08:16, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, only thing to go on is going to be behaviour. Courcelles (talk) 18:53, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
 * There's also this and this, and this and this. I'm convinced that Kis foltos is a sock of Garbera levente and should be indeffed.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  19:27, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Adding nonsense entries for nonexistent Hungarian "metro" systems to List of metro systems like this. Strong editing interest in Nyíregyháza as well. That's verbatim what previous sock User:Congonka used to do, so this is pure WP:DUCK here. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 22:33, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
 * The checkuser is probably not necessary if a "WP:DUCK" call can be made. I really did that so a check for "sleepers" could be made, though I'm not sure this particularly socker really does that. (P.S. FWIW, I did not get your ping notification on this...) --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:31, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
