Kk Brsr was editblocked in October because their only Wikipedia contributions were a fake RuPaul's Drag Race sandbox with imaginary contestants and vandalism of the winner names in the real RuPaul's Drag Race navbox; Kit Kkuno then showed up yesterday and created User:Kit Kkuno/sandbox, a new fake RPDR sandbox with new imaginary contestants. The other thing that catches my eye, although it's obviously not definitive in and of itself, is the use of a double "kk" in both usernames. Less definite case of WP:DUCK than Isaac Shearer, but similar enough to raise concern. Bearcat (talk) 18:04, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Update: This slipped my mind at the time I first filled out this request, but I just remembered a short time ago that Benji Brasier has also been dinged this year for doing the exact same "fake Drag Race season with fake contestants" thing — and the "Brsr" part of Kk Brsr's username could also imply a link to the "Brasier" part of Benji's.

 * . Different user agents, and they don't geolocate to the same country, but they are close by. That's all I can give you unfortunately.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   18:26, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
 * added, because created User:Reza rifaldi/sandbox.  -- RoySmith (talk) 03:37, 7 January 2021 (UTC)


 * My inclination is to close this with no action.  It's certainly possible Kit is same person as the others, but it's hard to say that with any certainty.  For reasons that I don't understand, RuPaul's Drag Race is a popular topic, and inventing made-up seasons and episodes of TV shows is also a popular past-time, so it's not impossible this is just a bunch of distinct people indulging their hobby.  The cross-editing between, and  is certainly suspicious, but Reza hasn't edited in 7 months, so it's hard to argue that blocking them would be anything other than punitive.  For all that, I'm going to leave this for somebody else to give an independent evaluation. -- RoySmith (talk) 04:20, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, note the possible Ru Paul tie-in to Isaacwshearer. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:22, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * From what I can see from Oshwah's checks in the logs, they are not related to the Isaacwshearer group.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 20:13, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

I'm marking this as closed. There was reasonable suspicion which merited a check, but that check has not provided sufficient confirmation to take further action. Although Reza rifaldi is almost certainly Benji Brasier, I agree with Roy that no action is necessary at this time. DrKay (talk) 18:39, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

No action needed at this time, as the sock has already been editblocked on WP:NOTHERE grounds; I'm filing this only so that it's documented in case the information is needed in future sockchecks. Situation once again pertains to fake articles for fake RuPaul's Drag Race seasons with imaginary contestants in sandbox — the tell being that Fundamental Reading's roster repeated both "Belinda Q. Kafassie" and "Freea" from Kit Kkuno's version, and "Vita MikJu" from Kk Brsr's. (Needless to say, this also solidifies the Kk Brsr/Kit Kkuno link that was possible but inconclusive at the time of the original request.) As well, both Kk Brsr and Fundamental Reading have committed at least one incident of mainspace vandalism in real RPDR content; Kk Brsr modified the Drag Race navbox to replace the real winners with imaginary ones, while Fundamental Reading completely overwrote RuPaul's Drag Race (season 13) with a fake-contestants version of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under. Again, no immediate action needed as Fundamental Reading has already been blocked — however, the information needs to be documented just in case this recurs again in the future.
