Repeated vandalism on Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf and related pages. There has been a few edits made on that page by several distinct users with very similar usernames, including Hjh874, Johnny784, Johnny874 and Ng474. This account (User:黄中盛), however, cannot be identified directly as a sockpuppet with WP:DUCK.

Hjh874 is globally locked. H78c67c (talk) 08:15, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

 * - Hjh874 was blocked on zh for "VOA & User name confusion" and globally locked for impersonation of . Unless "VOA" means otherwise, this looks like the global equivalent of a soft block.
 * 黄中盛 was blocked for VOA (??) on zh. Only made one edit there So I presume the block relates to a previous account which isn't named. A Chinese speaker may be able to clarify.
 * Johnny784 was blocked "Confirmed as a puppet or a real puppet" of 黄中盛 on zh.
 * Johnny874 was blocked "Confirm as a puppet or a real puppet" on zh, no master named.
 * Ng474 has no blocks anywhere.
 * The usernames and the shared fixation on Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf & List of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf episodes are pretty solid indicators that they're the same editor (confirmed above by Ng474). The edits here, despite the poor grammar, don't appear to be vandalism. While we have the overlapping edits as a basis for action I'm hesitant to do so if the user is being forced into new accounts by the repeated blocking on zh in blind pursuit of what was merely a username block.
 * Pinging (reporting yue admin) and  (who has been active on zh) in the hope of some clarity. Cabayi (talk) 10:49, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
 * VOA stands for "vandalism-only account". The sockpuppeteer is blocked not only for its misleading username but also for vandalism on zh.wikipedia. H78c67c (talk) 15:54, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't have any special understanding of activity on zh and don't generally perform CU actions. –xenotalk 19:27, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

...asking the steward who set the lock for clarification - m:User talk:Tks4Fish. Cabayi (talk) 20:33, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Blocked for lock evasion (mistakenly including Hjh474 for a moment) and locks requested at m:srg. Closing. Cabayi (talk) 19:03, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
 * , Any reason I shouldn't tag all these as suspected socks of Hjh874? -- RoySmith (talk) 19:09, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
 * , sounds good to me. Careful, the SPI tools pick up innocent Hjh474 as well as the socks. Cabayi (talk) 19:50, 18 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Added tags per above. I'll leave this for somebody else to verify and archive. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:54, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

 * - There's probably enough behavioral evidence here to block just on that. Similar user names, similar interest in Pleasant Goat, dropping a user warning on an IP's talk page.  But, given the past issues of impersonations (see Hjh474 in the archives), CU seems advisable, if only to rule that out. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:22, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I'd say that's him. I have also found two old sleepers: &, which are ✅ from   Salvio 19:43, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * , Just to clarify, you're saying Johnny977, Honoka874999, and A7002BCE are all indistinguishable from Hjh874, which means tag as CU-Confirmed? -- RoySmith (talk) 00:10, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I was unclear. Only Honoka874999, and A7002BCE are indistinguishable from Hjh874. Johnny977, I'd say, is definitely quite, but not indistinguishable. Salvio 07:34, 27 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Indef Johnny977, Honoka874999, and A7002BCE, and tagged all as proven socks of Hjh874. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:00, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
