User:This user will be blocked for "abusing multiple accounts" has created four userpages with sockpuppet, claiming to be sockpuppets of User:Royer2356. This seems like an open invitation to check. Drm310 (talk) 22:18, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Got some people said that actually Supreme Genghis Khan and all of his sockpuppets are belonged to Royer2356, mentioned at this and this diff. Royer2356 its own-self also said that "It's very easy to evade blocks on this site and very easy to create accounts which can't be linked back to him. Multiple Long-term abuse cases have been opened against the account since he first came on this site 4 years ago. This also includes Supreme Genghis Khan, many other socks of him exist, some of which aren't even blocked yet", wrote at this and this diff, don't know what is going on of that....SA 13 Bro (talk) 02:04, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

In replying to your comment SA 13 Bro, this is correct. I'm merely trying to unveil the truth so you can ban me as appropriate. I will soon be quitting Wikipedia anyway, so it makes no difference to me if you block me. My edit will now totally be discredited, will be reverted and I'll be blocked indefinitely.

Getting the job done is a sockpuppet of Royer2356. —Preceding undated comment added 11:04, 12 July 2016 (UTC)


 * If there's any credibility to this claim, then all of Royer2356's sock userpages should be nominated for deletion, per Long-term abuse/Supreme Genghis Khan. --Drm310 (talk) 14:45, 12 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Take a note, somebody claim that he is Supreme Genghis Khan socks. SA 13 Bro (talk) 15:01, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Does this mean we should write about this on the LTA page or its talk page or something? Linguist 111 talk 15:13, 12 July 2016 (UTC)


 * The account Royer2356 was blocked by admin in 4 years ago as vandalism-only account. Currently, have to wait the admin for the information result to make any kind of decision on that. SA 13 Bro (talk) 18:48, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I doubt that CheckUsers will be able to do anything to confirm it. SGK's accounts were reported to have used IPs from different ranges, so it's likely that there won't be a IP link between the Supreme Genghis Khan and Royer2356 accounts. Anyway, I wonder if the investigation into this should be another WP:DENY situation, because again, by looking into this, we're giving SGK attention. I was also on the fence about the creation of the LTA page for the same reason. Linguist 111 talk 19:06, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Given the rationale for the LTA page pertaining to You-Know-Who, it would be best for admins unacquainted by his antics to know what should be done on sockpuppets created by him, i.e. block and purge, and that should be it - no other YKW-related pages should be made in accordance to the WP:DENY mandate.

 * As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter which disruptive troll these accounts belong to, and there's no technical way to tie Royer2356 to any other account. They're all blocked, so I'm closing this because there's not much else to do here. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 16:28, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

It states on the sockpuppets userpage that it's owned by RasterofMandomness. Both of the accounts are only using Wikipedia for test edits, which can be considered vandalism on multiple accounts. Xoina233 (talk) 00:06, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

 * A new account has been adding socktags to these users. It is clearly another sock, that's just what they do, and I wasn't sure whether to report it here or to AIV. Sro23 (talk) 19:09, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * Just a friendly word of advice - you may want to report really obvious socking to AIV, where it will be handled far more quickly. I'm surprised they waited nearly two years to vandalize the same article again. Admin action requested: Please block this sockpuppet. Thank you! GABgab 20:28, 30 August 2016 (UTC)


 * I came across this completely by chance while running a check on . The filer, is playing good hand/band hand here. This should be moved to Sockpuppet investigations/Royer2356 as the master.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots  20:56, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

 * I've blocked the latest account. I'm pretty sure that moving and merging reports is a Clerk function and doesn't need admin buttons. or, can you confirm?-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots  22:26, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Added User:Junior5a and Royer2356. I know the account hasn't made any edits, but come on, it's so obviously a sockpuppet. There's no way a new innocent user chose that name by coincidence, plus I've seen admins block username socks with no edits before, so I don't understand why this should be any different.
