Africanstoner is the only person beginning to defend Krizpo's horrible editing practices. He also only came about just as Krizpo feigns regret for arguing against WP:V, WP:RS, and WP:UNDUE for five days (before going back to his usual behavior, leading to his current block). They edit in the same areas at around the same time frame, but are still never in the same article at the same time.

They both are on a mission to give undue weight to Asian religions in "Religion in (area)" articles, citing personal experience: 1 and A1 A2

When asked for sources, despite seeing all the explanations of WP:RS on the talk page, Africanstoner cites all the stuff that Krizpo cited or would go on to cite in his various edits to the Religion in Africa article.

They both insist on referring to Indian religions as Dharmic religions: 2 and B

They both cite the same Google cached version of a Foreign Policy magazine article, even though the article only loads properly when you load the uncached version: 3 and C (go down to "Sikhi")

They both refer to Sikhism as "Sikhi": 4 and D

They both insist on spelling Taoism as Daoism: 5 and E

While I know that Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism are sometimes refered to as Dharmic, and Taoism is spelled Daoism in some sources, the consistency between the two accounts, plus the other actions only turns these spelling quirks into further evidence. Ian.thomson (talk) 15:23, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

 * - No need for a CU - it's pretty obvious that the two are the same - citing exactly the same sources, especially when the links they're citing are somewhat broken makes it obvious. The master has been blocked for a month already for disruption - I'd be minded to indef both accounts. Steven   Zhang  Get involved in DR! 01:48, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Sock blocked and tagged on behavioral grounds. I have not modified Krizpo's block - if their disruptive behavior resumes once the block expires, it can always be reinstated. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 15:43, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Obvious sock by name with other Krizpo sock User:Africanstoner. Also, this edit and this edit both add the identically worded unsourced and undue material to Religion in the Middle East "Vajrayana Buddhism is the predominant religion of workers from Bhutan, Tibet and Mongolia. Bon and Tengriism may also be represented among these people." Ian.thomson (talk) 14:45, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Africanganja blocked per WP:DUCK. I'll leave this open since you requested CU to check for other possible accounts. Jafeluv (talk) 18:33, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Quack quack. Adding same material verbatim to the South Korea article, only slightly different arrangement on the charts. Ian.thomson (talk) 22:38, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Actually, this one didn't have sleepers before. We can just complete this then and await the next inevitable sock. Qwyrxian (talk) 00:55, 26 September 2012 (UTC) — Berean Hunter   (talk)  14:31, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Blocked as obviously the same. Last time we found other sleepers, so I suppose the CU can continue. Qwyrxian (talk) 00:52, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Already tagged; closing.

Quack quack. Same undue emphasis being placed on Dharmic religions (note the insistence on that specific phrasing), same insistence on calling Korean Shamanism "Musism" (1 2). Ian.thomson (talk) 15:36, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

 * I'm arguably involved here so I won't block, but Ian.thomson is right on the money--I've got now doubt this is the same person, and support blocking on behavioral evidence even if CU is stale (not sure, but afraid it might be). Qwyrxian (talk) 15:48, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

 * - - I agree that this is actionable on behavioural grounds. Adding CU to check for sleepers tied to the new sock.  Basa lisk  inspect damage⁄berate 15:53, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

Obviously the same user; see, for example, this diff. I've already blocked, and will be tagging and rolling back the contributions shortly. We probably don't need any action here, just reporting to keep a record of all the socking. The user doesn't generally make multiple account, so not really a need for CU sleeper check.

The username itself is similar to several recent names (Puttingfacts, Factrefresher) used by Krizpo. Additionally, the user has the same area of interest: adding facts, generally unsupported or supported by questionable sources, to articles that unduly increase the prominence of dharmic religions (Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, etc.) in countries where they have only a tiny presence. Example diffs include, , and. I have blocked some Krizpo socks directly w/o CU in the past based upon some clear linguistic markers, but in this newest account I don't see quite enough to be certain. So, I figured a CU is safer to be sure. Qwyrxian (talk) 22:58, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
