 * Based on the creation at User:Kimsa Sok/ by Jinmieki, it seems very likely they were trying to create it in the same place as they had it before. Either this is meatpuppetry or a sockpuppetry. Blocking and . Leaving open for CU request as sleepers / other accounts may be possible. Leaving tags until CU has been run / declined.

OK, here's the 10 unlocked accounts: and a couple more: Unfortunately a block comes with a lot of collateral. It is tempting, but what I'll do is keep watching this SPI and keep any block(s) under consideration. -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:50, 18 August 2021 (UTC).


 * @Zzuuzz these aren't noted as cu-blocked, but I assume it's OK to tag them all as confirmed? -- RoySmith (talk) 20:25, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

I have been involved in sockpuppet investigations related to this user on several other wikis, so I have some opinions about this case. Any artice related to Kimsa Sok or UBJ (and other pages with similar titles) are written by Kimsa Sok’s socks.

About articles about Chitra Rin, Pharith Phat, etc. (mostly on simplewiki), they are written by accounts on the second list you provided below, and I think they are related to eachother but not related to Kimsa Sok. Both of them are advertising about different things. --Trezoo (talk) 00:25, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
 * You are probably right of course. They do appear to be advertising different subjects, although as you noted on simpplewiki, it's not entirely clear what Chitra Rin is actually advertising. It looks like they probably at least went to the same SEO school. Some of the other crossovers are just too weird. For example, the usernames of J8N9MN (Chitra Rin) and V6B8N (Kimsa Sok). Anyway, I'm not going to say that the two farms are the same unless something else turns up, but I will leave them on the record. -- zzuuzz (talk) 07:51, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
 * It seems I have found another sock of Kimsa Sok, H7ajask. Though they have no edits related to Kimsa Sok yet, their talk page on simplewiki and zhwiki looks suspicious. They are now making lots of edits about Sok Chanphal on several wikis, but this might be attempts to gain reputation before they take actions or maybe they will slip a link or two in the External Links section… This is just a FYI, so please keep a look on this user. --Trezoo (talk) 10:39, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

First, the Kimsa Sok socks: Then there's a second list, technically indistinguishable (in a relatively quirky way) from the Kimsa Sok socks: I can't fully figure what the connection is, but comparing Draft:Pharith Pat (1996) with Draft:UBJ (Website), along with the technical evidence, I'm going to say they're probably related. -- zzuuzz (talk) 21:55, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
 * . . . to find any sleepers, as the archive (such as the report from 18 August 2021) has sleeper accounts being found from a CU (such as Jihyo Park Jin). As a sleeper check was over a month ago, another one seems useful. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 20:49, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

 * I also don't fully understand the connection, but from the writing style of Draft:Pharith Pat (1996) and Draft:UBJ (Website), I'd say it's highly likely they were written by the same person. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:24, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Looking through the archives to find accounts to compare against, I note that S4v6bjj and Jinmieki were both called out as confirmed in the case comments, but both were tagged as something less than confirmed. Am I missing something here? -- RoySmith (talk) 14:18, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * CVbtsV is ✅ to S4v6bjj and to C6rvvf. Assuming we're calling S4v6bjj confirmed to Kimsa, that would also make CVbtsV confirmed to Kimsa, but I'll hold off on the tagging until I hear back from my query above. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:31, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
