This report is really about the sixth account listed,. The other accounts have been blocked by Materialscientist or by me as duck accounts based upon behavior or the account name. I have this suspicion that Penguin tnki is another sock as their second edit was to the Qatar Airways article which the other accounts had been editing. They all are focused on removing previously operated aircraft:, , and now   They also seem to be doing the null edit thing to get to autoconfirmed status. I realize that the connection from Penguin tnki to the other accounts is rather tenuous, but I just have a certain suspicion about it. "It just doesn't feel right" as the saying goes.

If there is no connection between Penguin tnki and the other accounts, then I still would like to ask for confirmation that the Thai a340 fsx account is another sockpuppet and that the underlying IP be blocked. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:17, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

I am now sure that Penguin tnki is a sockpuppet as they have made to the semi-protected Thai Airways International article just like. The Thai Airways International has been the focus of the other accounts editing activities. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:31, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Thanks, I have indeed blocked some (Por Por 1, Por Por 2 and Thai pilot a340) as obvious ducks, per WP:AIV report, and was wondering about sleepers and a possible rangeblock, as autoblocks obviously didn't work. In other words, I support this CU request. Materialscientist (talk) 06:26, 12 March 2013 (UTC)


 * As seen from past behavior, it seems this person has limited English ability and is not able to comprehend what Wikipedia is, is not, and what the rules are. I suspect he/she has been mistaking "edit request" as a key to open up the article for him/her to edit, instead of submitting materials to be considered. HkCaGu (talk) 07:05, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

And also that he/she doesn't understand the block mechanism and keeps making new accounts. Thai a340 was created after Por Por 2 was blocked in early February. Today's new one was created soon after the block/reblock this time yesterday. HkCaGu (talk) 07:08, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Two blocked ducks. The autoblock does not appear to be working. Requesting confirmation on the accounts and look into possibility of a range block. The IP is obviously connected. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:31, 13 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I added in suspected sock User:Joey moo moo. New account editing on Qatar Airways in the same section that was the focus of other accounts. Requesting confirmation on this account. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:18, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

The checkuser is needed on Soumasa to confirm the connection, and the IP address for a possible recommendation of a range block (because the autoblocks aren't working) and to sniff out additional sleepers (like the past requests). Terrysh is a WP:DUCK, making more empty edit requests to Thai Airways International and talking about his Thai heritage (which he uses to own articles), so just a block is needed there. The checkuser is needed on User:Soumasa because it's a new account that is not a duck (no related edits to the other dozen blocked accounts, though the short edit history contains vandalism), but Terrysh marked Soumasa's talk page as a sockpuppet of his, possibly giving the sleeper away by accident. The IP address, which is registered in Thailand, removed the template.

Abochan is making extremely similar, very specific edits to various airlines, especially Thai airlines, which was Por Por 2's stomping grounds. Abochan is also reverting other edits to Por Por 2's or previous sock Drandywgoodman's versions. Grayfell (talk) 05:57, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Other editors have already expressed concerns such as similar vandalism on similar articles and similat communication. WorldTraveller101Did I mess up? 00:09, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

The 222.127 IP range belongs to the Philippine Airport Vandal, adding suspiciously large amounts of new routes in short periods of time. Por Por 2 is supposedly from Thailand, insisting on removing former airline fleet. They seem to be separate people. HkCaGu (talk) 08:30, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the information. However, if you think that administrative action is required here then you must present a case -- I don't feel like going on a scavenger hunt. Amalthea  14:10, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

 * - CU will not connect IPs to addresses, and absolutely no evidence provided. Rschen7754 01:28, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
 * WorldTraveller101, you'll need to repair this report. There is no account named PorPor2, you left a notification at User talk:Many (PorPor2 is main registered account) -- no idea what you entered into the Twinkle form to get that result. What master account did you have in mind, and can you list the evidence to show the connection? Amalthea  21:27, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
 * The username has a space in between and is actually Por Por 2 and Por Por 1. Thanks. WorldTraveller101Did I mess up? 21:43, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok. Evidence? Amalthea  07:18, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
 * You know alone that Thai pilot a340 and Thai pilot a34--600 are clearly linked accounts, just based on the name. I am currently collecting more evidence. Thanks. WorldTraveller101Did I mess up? 19:33, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Closed. The sockpuppet accounts are already blocked. Reaper Eternal (talk) 19:36, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
