Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kfjisee/Archive

Suspected sockpuppets
The three socks listed share a non-constructive fascination with hemorrhoids and a lack of required competence; in fact, their only contributions in readable English have been copyvios. These accounts were blocked previously thanks to their loud quacking. Today, Kfjisee was brought to my attention because they copied my block notice to sock #2 onto their own talk page! The account, like the others, has been active on the Thai Wikipedia. Kfjisee has been blocked by another admin for disruptive editing, but I'm requesting CU to a) verify my suspicion regarding sockpuppetry and b) sweep for sleepers.

 * This list is but the tip of the tip of an iceberg. This user had been registered a LTA in Thai Wikipedia and has been creating new accounts over the course of 13 years! Lately, I observed his "good hand-bad hand" behaviour such as tagging his own accounts as socks, adding unnecessary links, giving medical "advices" in medicine-related articles, etc. -- Just Sayori OK?

 * How bizarre. The non-stale accounts are all or better. No sleepers immediately visible. I'm tagging all the accounts appropriately (the stale one is obvious based on behaviour) so that if any more pop up we can keep track. Closing.  firefly  ( t · c ) 16:06, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, is obviously this user as well. That range is currently blocked, but the block expires soon. Worth keeping an eye on. Spicy (talk) 16:39, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * This editor truly deserves the categorization "pain in the ass". Favonian (talk) 16:41, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * If there are any more... crappy edits... from that range once the block expires I'll happily reinstate it. firefly  ( t · c ) 16:43, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
Quoting Nythar on WP:RPPI, where this likely sock asked for protection of Category:All articles to be merged: Could you tell me how you even found the vandalism in that category? The user who vandalized the category was, and you somehow managed to find their and one of their socks' user talk pages, and you've left warnings at both talk pages for different reasons: 1 2. Both warnings were left weeks or months after the accounts vandalized articles and other pages. In addition, both accounts – including yours – edit the Thai Wikipedia. You've also "reverted vandalism" at another sock's talk page, and this sock seems to have also accessed the Thai Wikipedia (judging by their accounts here). A minute ago you edited the page of yet another sock, whose username is also written in Thai. This is all very suspicious. So basically, this account edited a bunch of Sod1123 socks' pages, and there's a chance that they might be a sock of this master, but CU might be needed, as I'm not sure on behavioral evidence.

 * Thanks for filing this, . I want to add that both อ่านก่อนตั่งชื่อ and a sock, Sod11211, edited Template:FAQ/doc (see this, where both made unconstructive edits). They've also edited List of Wikipedias, and อ่านก่อนตั่งชื่อ didn't remove vandalism or anything; they just made an unrelated edit. In addition,, a globally locked sock whose username is also written in Thai, requested the removal of protection from Hemorrhoid (as can be seen here). The user this report is about has edited Large intestine and Fundus, both medicine-related articles. While this evidence isn't conclusive, the behavior is oddly suspicious. I also think this report belongs at Sockpuppet investigations/Kfjisee, since the others are socks of Kfjisee, even though only one of them was tagged. Nythar  (💬-🍀) 07:59, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
Last night, this user thanked me on a reversion I did on Template:FAQ/doc, which brought this user to my attention. They have also thanked the suspected sockmaster, according to the thanks log. It appears that other sockpuppets have vandalized the page as well, starting with this edit. In addition, they attempted to edit one of their sockpuppet's pages, and looking over the previous SPI case, it seems to reveal that the account which I reverted is also likely a sockpuppet of Kfjisee, which may have been why they thanked me for it. I believe that this account may be connected to these cases due to how it has engaged with the previous sock accounts, and how such a new user has found backstage areas of Wikipedia.
