An administrator on Simple English Wikipedia says that these accounts are socks based on checkuser evidence. Needs followup since they have both !voted at an open AfD. ☆ Bri (talk) 17:02, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

You're very annoying, I don't even know who you are Bri and I Nyoman Gebe Anila? why you're tagging me on this suspected sockpuppets page, I'm just looking around at singaporean female and male pageantry pages, since I have done some edits there (U can check my edit history), then I saw one of our representative page about to be deleted, so I vote for my rights as a Wiki user. There's not enough evidence of me doing socket puppets. Stop wasting your time by accusing people with this kind of unreasonable things! just be smart please! I also have my own job that I have to do instead of having to talk to a non sense things like this. Calvin Loh Xue Liang Calvin Loh Xue Liang 13:59, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Based on the CU findings above, cross-wiki evidence, and the fact that this is one of those topic areas obnoxiously rife with sockpuppets, I agree that they are related in some way, be it sock or meat. sock, master blocked one week. GeneralNotability (talk) 12:49, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

 * The first three IPs appear to be the same person, but I'm not convinced I Nyoman Gede Anila is them (plus, this editor edited on the page in question and is blocked as a sock, so I think this is an attempt to use SPI to gain an editing advantage). Page is currently semiprotected, which should deal with most of the disruption. Closing without action. GeneralNotability (talk) 16:21, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Very familiar user page: Terrence, sockmaster. Terrence showed up mere days after the sockmaster was blocked. Same obsession with reverting Panikilicious: Terrence and sockmaster. Elizium23 (talk) 20:30, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Very familiar user page: Lukewon, sockmaster. Lukewon showed up mere days after the sockmaster was blocked. This user made edits on Indonesia beauty pageants, multiple vandalizing Miss Universe 2017, Miss Universe 2007 something that same obsession with reverting Nguyenquochieu2107: Lukewon and sockmaster.Vinhfast (talk) 09:29, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

 * I will just say this account has some unusual features. Unlikely to be first account; they could create a properly formatted infobox with nested templates when the account was less than an hour old. ☆ Bri (talk) 23:45, 25 May 2021 (UTC)


 * There are some behavioral quirks shared by the master and this account.
 * "stop blanking!" in edit summaries
 * calling redlinks "dead page" or "dead link page" in edit summaries
 * calling preferred sources "legitimate reference"
 * Near identical use of warning "NOTE: Do not..." in HTML comments
 * Signed ☆ Bri (talk) 04:51, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Will the behavioral evidence that I provided above be considered? ☆ Bri (talk) 02:36, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

 * The report was filed by an SPA, whose only other edits were to ensure their username would be bluelinked. Cabayi (talk) 06:04, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Closing with no action taken other than to indef the filing SPA. Any editor in good standing is free to file a new report over their own signature. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:31, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

1) Basic account facts: Lukewon is SPA on Indonesia beauty pageants/TV like the master. Lukewon was created nine days after master was blocked. Plus, this account has some unusual features for a first account; they could create a properly formatted infobox with nested templates when the account was less than an hour old.

2) Many behavioral indications indicate sockpuppetry per WP:DUCK. Behavioral quirks shared by the master and this account:
 * "stop blanking!" as full text of edit summary Lukewon;  master
 * calling redlinks "dead page" or "dead link page" in edit summaries
 * calling preferred sources "legitimate reference" Lukewon;  master
 * Near identical use of warning NOTE: Do not...without a reliable source supporting it. in HTML comments Lukewon;  master
 * "do not change without a reliable source supporting it" in edit summary Lukewon;  master
 * Edit summary "Ok I get it." when clearing TP    Lukewon;  master

3) Additional item: about 24 hours after the removal of the master's "notable alumni" to a not-well-known Indonesian university article, Lukewon returned it:
 * introduced by master;
 * removed;
 * restored by Lukewon.

Some of this evidence was entered by me in an earlier chapter of this case, but the chapter was closed down because it was filed by another sock. ☆ Bri (talk) 17:26, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Added Lemon.public after fililng. Sockpuppet_investigations/Whiteproperton97/Archive was linked to the master on Meta (see Steward_requests/Global/2021-01). The Whiteproperton97 SPI shows that Lukewin was renamed to Lemon.public; requesting additional CU here since they are both active & obvious connection through account names & editing interests. ☆ Bri (talk) 17:37, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Added IP user who began editing Miss International 2022 on the heels of around the time of the master's block. It's pretty clear from their pattern of contributions it's the same editor. Also a trusted user has noted that the master is the only WP editor on this range. Also note these specific edits: Filed again with IP stuff. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:51, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I revert the logged-out master
 * Lukewon reinstates many of the same edits

 * ✅ to each other, but seemingly ❌ to any of the other accounts in this case:
 * Lukewon is to this case, ❌ to the three accounts above.  ST47 (talk) 01:04, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
 * @ST47, Lemon.public also showed up in Sockpuppet investigations/Hongkham Souvannavong. Could you take a look at that case and see if there's a connection? -- RoySmith (talk) 22:41, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
 * ❌ to that case. ST47 (talk) 16:19, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks. I'm going to break these three out into their own case. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:53, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
 * The IPs haven't edited in a year, so nothing left to do here, closing. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:00, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

I fell down a rabbit hole of hoax flag creators (see Special:Contributions/SahinBasaran) and pinged me over at commons on a proposed deletion for them. Nanahuatl pointed to Chalxeutft as another example of these hoax flag creators.

See https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Chalxeutft

Short version is that this is a new user (November 2021) who is focused on beauty pageants and has made a slew of fictional sandbox pages for a "Miss Intergalactical". This behavior appears to fit with INGA. Further, like INGA, this user claims to be multilingual and from southeast Asia.

Editing overlap: , ,

Looks like I could choose from a dozen sockmasters in this overall topic though.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 02:05, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Thank you both. I'll keep an eye on this user to make sure they don't try to add those fake flags in places. cheers  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 06:00, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

 * There isn't much that isn't stale relating to INGA; this account isn't a match for what I can see. There is some overlap on a very wide, busy range with the accounts in the archive that were split off into Sockpuppet investigations/Lemon.public, but there are differences - it's not enough to make me think they're connected. Girth Summit  (blether)  12:09, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Beauty pageants is a very popular topic, so just shared interest isn't much of an indicator for socking. And, playing around in your sandbox creating fantasy versions of sports teams, TV shows, beauty pageants, etc, while not what we're here to do, is both popular and basically harmless.  Given Girth's CU finding, closing with no action. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:31, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

 * There's not much historical data on INGA, but what there is suggests or maybe even ❌.  Lots of people are into beauty pageants.  Closing with no action. -- RoySmith (talk) 03:11, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
