 * Based on the CU evidence, this SPI case should be moved into Sd004973, given this, and 리리리2005 are CU-confirmed socks of Rf4fr4WE34~enwiki, and thus, Sd004973.  Mario Jump  83!  05:32, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

 * for a sleeper check. This account was created 27 February and used a month after creation. It was created after they have used a different sock account (i.e. Ford1905), so it seems probable that there will be further sleepers. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 23:59, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Confirmed to lots of vandalism-only accounts, but anything obvious has already been blocked. For what it's worth, this looks to be the same as Sockpuppet investigations/Rfefr4r4f.  If a clerk thinks merging the cases would be useful, they could do that.  It's not a big deal, though. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 09:03, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

I started writing a great deal before I discovered this SPI (I had originally thought the master was, which was blocked in June 2020 but not as a sock). I shan't say any more due to BEANS, but suffice to say I am convinced. Sdrqaz (talk) 01:32, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
 * This sockmaster has a track record of using multiple sleepers, as shown by a quick glance in the archives. If you want more evidence, I'm happy to spell it all out but given that invoked BEANS the last time around I thought it wouldn't be wise. Sdrqaz (talk) 17:48, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
 * The problems with edit notices are that they don't show up when using Twinkle or mobile (or now, when I'm using the WMF's reply tool). Spelling it out, BEANS be damned:
 * has been spamming File:네이버 로고.png: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. That file was created by, a locked sock of.
 * Jaegong02 also removed a redirect, which was previously created by and  (CU-confirmed socks of Rfefr4r4f).
 * They also created Rf4fr4, which is suspiciously similar to the sockmaster's name.
 * I'm sure with your access to deleted contributions, more links can be drawn, but I'm leaving it here. The archive has shown previous use of sleepers. Sdrqaz (talk) 18:37, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

 * I don't know why I remember tagging Draft:Toyota Prius as nonsense in June 2021, but I do. Given the time that has passed, the data has changed a bit but I'm quite confident that Rf4fr4 is Rfefr4r4f. In addition, Rf4fr4 is confirmed to Kianiro and 데이원스포츠. To my mind, Special:Diff/1182918091 confirms the link back to 2021 (compare to Special:Diff/1030298705).I can see links to other accounts based on block logs on other wikis and deleted contributions and whatnot ( is confirmed to Kianiro and 데이원스포츠; 데이원스포츠 is blocked as on the Japanese Wikipedia and as  on the Portuguese Wikipedia, who is blocked as  here... you get the picture).I'm not going to tag them all nor try to dig out everything from 2021 onwards (life is too short), in the interest of preserving my sanity and avoiding burning too much time on socks that are all blocked/locked. The archiving clerk can tag them all if they wish. I will only tag Rf4fr4 as proven. Will request a lock. Case closed. Sdrqaz (talk) 03:15, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Repeatedly creates the same vandalic page Rf4fr4 with no meaningful content. Beyond this, similar editing pattern focused on car models and South Korean transport. Same page was also created by (now-blocked) User:Jaegong02, if that helps. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 00:27, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
