With this edit Miichan11 arrived on ANI with their first ever edit, launched a detailed abuse complaint with diffs against Ryulong, and claimed to know someone else involved in the AKB48 article (locus of dispute as it were) in real life. There are only two editors of note there; Rka001 and Moscow Connection. Rka001 is a single-purpose account related to this band on en.wikipedia; Moscow Connection is perhaps SPA in the asian music field but fairly broadly so. Neither of them is obviously abusive on the article. Dr.K was asked what KPOP related sockfarms were active and indicated Vgleer might be it and less likely Ryanjay1996. It strains credulity that Miichan11 has no prior experience, and they have admitted a connection. However, exclusive of direct sockpuppetry her or a connection with long running sockmasters, this is a content dispute with a bit of meatpuppetry and OWN. Normal admin level tooling is not disambiguating, and risk of long-term sockpuppetry is high. Request checkuser to rule out long-term abuse if possible, and let us deal with immediate behavior if it's just local users inexperienced with wider wiki issues.

I've added to the list as he/she also made a complaint against me in his/her first edit.— Ryūlóng  ( 琉竜 ) 08:23, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

I got into an argument with over the formatting and content of the AKB48 article. At one point during this dispute, Rka001 referred to my edits as "rape". Rka001 has not edited for several days now. Beautyfrisco's first ever edit was this posting at WP:AN3 in an attempt to get me blocked for edit warring that had ended and that I had also self-reverted on at some point. Beautyfrisco was initially thought to be a sockpuppet of /, but apparently that evidence was inconclusive. MIIchan110's first edit was this posting at WP:ANI which is almost identical to Beautyfrisco's posting at WP:AN3, and also contains the word "rape". I believe that Rka001 is inappropriately using alternate accounts to avoid scrutiny on his own main account. — Ryūlóng ( 琉竜 ) 19:14, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

 * The ANEW and ANI posts link the two accounts together fairly convincingly. The use of the word rape in a similar way between Rka001 and Miichan110 suggests a link between the two and hence all three accounts. Endorsing CU for confirmation of a link between the three accounts. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:29, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * It is that Rka001, Beautyfrisco and Miichan110 are the same. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 15:57, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Closing as Beautyfrisco and Miichan110 are already blocked indef. No action taken towards Rka001 per lack of evidence. Mark Arsten (talk) 17:01, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
