Two SPAs, both editing only Ping Fu and/or her book Bend, Not Break. I noticed yesterday that they seem to have been alternating in close temporal proximity. On 3/10, first Richewald at 08:10, then LarryTr7 at 8:22 and 8:28. Similar alternation seems to have occurred on March 7, with Richwald editing at 3:30 - 3:37, then LarryTr7 at 4:58 and 5:03. Similar belligerence. Suspect more puppets are being operated. Could use a checkuser due to similar attacks against Ping Fu occurring at Amazon and other places online.

Oh, and possibly related to, already indef blocked for BLP violations. Yworo (talk) 00:42, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

 * - Three accounts are registered in close proximity, and edit in close proximity. All are single-purpose accounts who edit Ping Fu related controversies. Example edits: . Requesting checkuser due to the close timing and shared interest of these three editors. Someguy1221 (talk) 07:35, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Another SPA for Ping Fu, makes similar comments as previous socks: supporting a request made by the sockmaster. a13ean (talk) 19:59, 16 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I've added User:Taskshand, whose first edit after three years of inactivity was within half an hour of Annchomski's first edit ever. Note: Taskshand admits to being the same person as User:funmath, but they have just recovered the Taskshand account and will only be editing using that account.

 * I'm wondering how many of the other anti-Fu SPAs are related... hopefully the CheckUser will find if they are or not. Luke no 94  (talk) 20:17, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Taskshand = Funmath as stated. Otherwise, you are better off to use behavoiral evidence for this SPI. -- DQ   (ʞlɐʇ)  23:13, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
 * It's all very suspicious, but if we are limited to behavioral evidence, I do not see cause to block. I can't find any smoking gun in the contributions to confidently state either account is socking. Someguy1221 (talk) 02:10, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Latest anti-Ping Fu sock, given LarryTr7's history, it's probable that it's them, but it may belong to another sockmaster (internal or external), hence the CU. Luke no 94 (tell Luke off here) 07:41, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Geographically, but that's about as helpful as CU is on this one. WilliamH (talk) 10:29, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * The combination of behavioral and technical evidence make this very likely. Blocked, closing. King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 05:28, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Well, this didn't take long.... Also noting 129.215.223.133 and an IPv6 address, whom made this edit, and, upon being reverted, did this with the IPV4, and this  with an IPV6. Indefinite SP already requested at WP:RFPP. Luke no 94 (tell Luke off here) 16:21, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Now, LarryTr7 is smart enough not to have made this edit with their main account (in fact, they've not edited the main article without a sockpuppet since the 1st of March.) The original iteration of this edit came here: - but I do not believe Li is socking, although it is definitely plausible. That said, something with an edit summary of "truth about Fu Ping added" is very much in the style of LarryTr7, as is the edit itself; an example is, as does this: . The other plausible option is that this is a sock of User:Wiki Truth Finder007, whom was CU confirmed as not being LarryTr7, but made edits such as .

 * - AhChoy13002 blocked per WP:DUCK, but given the history a sleeper check would be nice. King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 04:46, 16 June 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't have the time to go sifting through the contributions of the master to try to find a diff that matches the sockpuppets, and without that, I can't run a check. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 12:33, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
