 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

This user is continuously using these accounts to edit various South Korean pop group articles. It would often add useless positions to the members that are pointless with no reliable sources(WP:FORUM). I have checked all their contributions and they are simply doing the same on a lot of articles. Adding the same kind of content to the Group/Member positions. They've also been warned by the several other users about their vandalism before but they do not seem to respond or listen to the warnings so I suspect that they are sock puppet accounts.

Thanks for noticing this -can you provide specific diffs that link the accounts together? TN X Man 14:02, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi, here's their edits


 * Ryanjay1996 1
 * Dancerjay12 2


 * Seems like the user is using both accounts to make sure that his edits stay on Wikipedia. I am still not sure about Reborn j96 but that account seems to be exibiting a similar behaviour of re-adding unsourced information regarding group position on the members section of the article.Bleubeatle (talk) 02:05, 10 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Looking at a) those diffs b) in light of the specific area of editing and c) the fact that the contributions support rotation usage, I very much suspected there is more than meets the eye with this, and I checked Ryanjay1996. Both suspected accounts are ✅ socks, found as a sleeper. WilliamH (talk) 17:30, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Hi, this user is back under a new account:


 * He has the name "jay" on it.
 * Does the same pattern of flooding wikipedia with pointless member position information.
 * Performing similar styles of edits as he has done to those two banned sock accounts above:
 * -Ryanjay1996 1 - old account
 * -Rapperjay96 2 - new account

An unambiguous sockpuppet, and I have indef-blocked it. However, as checkuser for sleepers could be helpful, in view of this editor's persistence in using multiple sockpuppets. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:34, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Reply to Dennis: I doubt this is an attempt at cleanstart. It is rather an attempt to avoid WP:SCRUTINY because the master has a well-known and disruptive record in those articles. Coming back with a new name, (although even this is debatable), and engaging in the same type of edit-warring that got them blocked in the first place cannot be viewed as cleanstart. Also I disagree with your point that somehow the scrutiny argument is weaker because of the 200+ day-period delay in edits between sock and master, on the basis that your argument does not account for the IP-socks which plague these articles and perhaps other sleeper accounts not yet accounted for. For instance has blocked numerous IPs as socks of Ryanjay1996  in the interim, without opening an SPI.

 * - Socks are too stale to do a CU, any decision will have to be based on behavior. I do see a lot of intersects with the master, too many, but not enough time for fully review at this moment. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;   Join WER 18:28, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * This is a bit of a Catch 22, as there is no overlap in edit times, the Master hasn't edited since his last block, he is currently unblocked, and it might be him, but having decided to start a new account, ie: WP:CLEANSTART. It might could be argued that if they are the same, it is a failed cleanstart, but since there isn't coordination by the two, you are only left with avoiding scrutiny, yet with 200+ days between edits of the sock and master in the same articles, making that a weaker argument.  Not sure I would block here even if they are the same, which is very possible. Will leave open for a more experienced clerk to review.

 * These accounts which were blocked as him are not stale for CU purposes:

— Berean Hunter   (talk)  00:22, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Additionally, there are IPs listed in this block log as Dr. K has pointed out which may help a CU. A sleeper check may also be warranted given his repeated abuse of multiple accounts.

 * Guys, between the filer, and two clerks, I don't see a single diff...I went ahead and checked the behavior myself, and found the similarities. I do have other cases on and offwiki I could be attending to. WP:BEANS really only applies when the edits are semi-subtle...this is blatantly obvious and they've been doing it for a while.

Could be a forgotten password, so I'm not inclined to block at this stage.

I dug through the history of C-Clown, and the member positions originally added by the author of the article matches that those added by Wind25, so I'm starting to wonder if those two are related, even though that wouldn't directly breach the sockpuppetry policy. Or it could be worse, and it could just another K-pop fan making unhelpful edits that plague these kinds of articles. At this point, the likelihood of Wind25 being a sock of Ryanjay1996 is pretty much non-existent. —  ξ <sup style="color:#000000;">xplicit  01:47, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Two edits only, but both on genre warring and specifically Contemporary R&B. Also note similarity to other sock names included in Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Ryanjay1996: Danielteo97, Danielyen46, Dannydanylim, Dereklee152.

Addition of unsourced positions, nicknames, instruments and genres across multiple K-pop articles. Tactics have shifted somewhat, since this new sock targets mainly K-pop star articles as opposed to bands or songs, although his favourite target songs have been protected since the last SPI. In addition, this new account adds unsourced nicknames and instruments. The sock has also added BLP information such as personal relationships to two articles. Due to this shift in tactics I am asking for a CU, although the sock edits have been tagged as originating from a mobile so I think he may be using his cellphone.
