 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * Evidence submitted by Chen Guangming (talk)

Johnwangxun and Parabellum101 seem to tag team each other in edit-revert wars:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=HQ-9&action=history

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Type_054A_frigate&action=history

the M.O. is similar, unsourced exaggerations on chinese military articles

Yep, pretty obvious. Same edits (see this report), same lack of edit summaries, same tendency to mark all edits "minor". Parabellum101 has already been indefinitely blocked for disruptive editing but I have blocked Johnwangxun for 1 week. Peter Symonds ( talk ) 10:33, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

The edit patterns are identical as well as the dates. When the user is blocked, the Ip starts editing and vice versa. --McSly (talk) 18:42, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Conclusions
 * Blocked the IP for 3 months, disabling account creation and editing, but allowing existing accounts to edit. I will warn the account next. Please tag/close, clerks use discretion with the sockpuppet tags if possible on the account (possibly don't apply one, its not needed that much as its easy to find this case without it). ——  nix eagle email me 18:48, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

The username makes it obvious from the previous blocked sockpuppet (Jianghua2). In addition the edits are identical as the ones done by the previous blocked users--McSly (talk) 19:06, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Username is very similar to blocked user Jianghua2, who was blocked as a sockpuppet of Parabellum101. User also edits in the same fashion and in the same type of articles (Chinese military equipment articles). Therefore, I say, call a spade a spade, and a duck a duck.

This user seems to "patrol" Chinese military-related articles, inflating specifications on Chinese weapon systems (missiles and tanks, for example) to make them appear more capable without providing sources for his edits. I agree that Parabellum101, Jianghuabackalive, Jianghuabackalive2 (who is now banned) and Jianghua2 edit in the same manner and seem to be sock puppets. I have come across these usernames on the following articles: Al-Khalid tank, JF-17, C-802, C-803, HQ-9. Hj108 (talk) 09:28, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Evidence submitted by Chen Guangming
the user TomahawkHunter has been vandalizing many pages related to the chinese military:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3ASSBN_classes_in_service&action=historysubmit&diff=336946589&oldid=333346866

in this case adding a not-yet-operational submarine to a template, the M.O is identical to Parabellum101, a known sockpuppet of Johnwangxun, Jianghua2, Jianghuabackalive, Jianghuabackalive2:
