NobunagasAmbition was confirmed to be a sockpuppet of Hkbusfan. NobunagasAmbition was a vandalism account that continually added content across various pages referring to Carribean Coast, a residential building in Hong Kong, as a slum (example). The IP addresses all carried out the same kind of vandalism at the same time period (example 2, example 3, example 4, example 5, example 6). If Hkbusfan has indeed been confirmed to be NobunagasAmbition then they should be indeffed for the above vandalism spree. Citobun (talk) 11:34, 14 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Update: The vandalism is still ongoing. Added latest IP 1.36.41.85. Citobun (talk) 03:00, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Please see below. I have apologised and should not be banned because of my history of constructive edits. Hkbusfan (talk) 13:05, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I chose to use alts to vandalise as an experiment, but have already decided that it is wrong and goes against Wikipedia guidelines, so I will stop. Please consider my history of constructive edits before blocking me. Hkbusfan (talk) 13:07, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

 * , I'm curious why you blocked NobunagasAmbition, but not Hkbusfan? -- RoySmith (talk) 22:02, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
 * as far as I can tell, Hkbusfan should be blocked, but don't want to take any action until I hear from you. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:06, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

Similar edit pattern to NobunagasAmbition. 219.78.13.118 abused by NobunagasAmbition and Hkbusfan both reverted my undo in Tung Chung while used capital letter in edit summary. Secondly, another abused IP 1.36.41.85 and Hkbusfan both inserted the Chinese meaning of housing estate English name in zhwiki while their edit summary were same 1 2 3.

 * Yes, I did use multiple accounts. I will stop doing this. Hkbusfan (talk) 12:03, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Includes aforementioned IPs and NobunagasAmbition. Hkbusfan (talk) 12:04, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * However, I still believe that SCP-2000 has done the wrong thing several times (e.g. with Draft:List of vertical slums). Hkbusfan (talk) 12:06, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Draft:List of vertical slums is obvious Vandalism. SCP  -20  00  12:10, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry but it is not obvious WP:VAND. It actually was designed to document vertical slums (a term used by several RSes to describe Kowloon Walled City and others), and did NOT have Caribbean Coast. Thank you. Hkbusfan (talk) 12:12, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Please explain how it was vandalism. Hkbusfan (talk) 12:20, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Also on one of the articles about Nobunaga's Ambition game or series, he deleted my translation when a similar one was on another article. Hkbusfan (talk) 12:07, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, SCP-2000, please explain how "Caribbean Coast is visible in front" is vandalism. Hkbusfan (talk) 12:22, 30 October 2021 (UTC)


 * To make it clear: I strongly apologise for misusing multiple accounts for vandalism purposes. However, I want the non-vandalism edits to be acknowledged (particularly the aforementioned Draft article). Hkbusfan (talk) 12:26, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Hkbusfan is the older account, and there is already an open investigation into them - I've merged this report into that one.  Girth Summit  (blether)  12:53, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * No comment with regard to these particular IPs, but I've blocked Khbusfan indefinitely, for the vandalism and edit warring. Closing.  Girth Summit  (blether)  13:39, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * @Girth Summit I'm assuming Hkbusfan should get tagged? -- RoySmith (talk) 17:25, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah - yes, sorry, thanks for checking. Girth Summit  (blether)  17:33, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
