Suspected sockpuppets
TTACH is a new user whose main purpose on Wikipedia is apparently to spread misinformation on the history of Goguryeo and Balhae, especially on the nature of these two states in relationship with Korea and its history.

   

They have shown a propensity to argue and soapbox on talk pages as well.

Their purpose and behavior are extremely similar to Gnomsovet (sock puppet master),  

Hatchiko (blocked sock of Gnomsovet),  ,(via comment)  

And Ulianurlanova (abandoned potential sock of Gnomsovet),(via comment)(via comment)

Further searching pulls up a repeated history of calling Koreans "Nazis" or bringing up the Hwandan Gogi (which they spell "Kogi") when it is often not at all a relevant source in any of the mentioned articles, and have brought it up when users often times haven't even mentioned it as a source.

Worst of all, this user has advocated for genocide against Koreans, calling for nuclear strikes, which is horrifying and I believe Wikipedia should reject all forms of users who advocate for genocide of any ethnic/religious/racial/sexual groups. Wikipedia should be a place for general knowledge rather than for slandering other groups

I request that Wikipedia undertake an investigation on Gnomsovet and their sockpuppets (with TTACH being the most recent version). Sunnyediting99 (talk) 21:02, 27 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Apologies for the Edit Summary coming out like that, this is my first time doing a Sockpuppet Investigation, but regardless I strongly suspect Gnomsovet is using multiple sockpuppets. Sunnyediting99 (talk) 21:05, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * I am a checkuser, not a clerk. This case is currently awaiting a clerk to endorse or decline the request. As an opinion only, I suggest the checkuser data is likely (not definitely) stale, so this is probably not suitable for a checkuser; that is, I think this could be declined. The obvious counter-argument is that we can sometimes piece together information from the logs even for stale accounts and we could comment on the three specific accounts (though maybe not Gnomsovet) here. --Yamla (talk) 21:49, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Just noting that I ran checks on the two previously confirmed accounts and they are indeed stale. RoySmith (talk) 14:19, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
 * We SPI-conflicted again Roy, I'm gonna have to type this out again...
 * I have examined the editing and have found a number of striking similarities between TTACH and Gnomsovet/Hatchiko. The old accounts are stale, but there is enough in the CU logs for me to be able to place them in the same location. Taken together, I'm persuaded to block TTACH. I'm leaving Ulianurlanova, I haven't looked at them closely enough since they haven't edited in a year, we can look at them if they become active again. Closing.
