 * (per Nick-D comment in the talk page of Speedrailsm)
 * Notifying .-- SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 16:13, 25 May 2020 (UTC)


 * , why without a tag? I need to nominate an article this editor has created per G5. I also think that the tag will make it easier for other editors to identify him in the future.-- SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 09:17, 26 May 2020 (UTC)


 * could you also tag Koreangauteng. Thanks.-- SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 10:51, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

This is clearly the same person as was behind the Speedrailsm account per the very good report above, my checks of their edits and the complaints they've been receiving on their talk page. The person has an anti-Islam agenda, is engaging in poor editing practices and has links to Australia. As noted above, there are also clear similarities in areas of interest and the contents of edits. A checkuser run for any other accounts being operated by the same person would be helpful, as they keep coming back and do a lot of damage when they do - given their previous conduct its possible there are other accounts. Nick-D (talk) 08:33, 26 May 2020 (UTC) well spotted - I've blocked. From memory, there were a bunch of other similar accounts. Nick-D (talk) 09:50, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
 * For the sake of transparency, I'd note that I've also just blocked and  (neither of which has been used since about 2015) to prevent these accounts being reactivated given that they were operated by the same person. Nick-D (talk) 08:43, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
 * In all seriousness, it's because the history of socking here is so long that I'm not sure who to tag this as being a sock of! From memory, this person was active under a bunch of other accounts earlier in the 2010s and one of them is technically the sockmaster. Grateful if an SPI clerk or checkuser could advise of how this should be handled. Any edits made from this account have been made in evasion of a block, and can be treated accordingly. Nick-D (talk) 09:56, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I've now tagged the accounts I've blocked. Many thanks Yunshui. Nick-D (talk) 11:39, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I've also blocked as being the same person. From checking article histories, it looks like the other accounts I was thinking of was editing from IP accounts. Nick-D (talk) 09:59, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

As it appears that WP:3STRIKES is met, I've also marked the Speedrailsm account as being banned. . Nick-D (talk) 09:47, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

CU shows up the following accounts as being ✅ matches to Koreangauteng: Both blocked and tagged. Yunshui 雲 水 10:40, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
 * It looks like Sam56mas is the new master. Before I go ahead and rename the case and retag everybody, could somebody double-check that I've got that right. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:45, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, that looks correct. Thanks for this. Nick-D (talk) 22:10, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Retagging everybody to Sam56mas (the new master). B20097 and NationalLitchfield were confirmed to Koreangauteng, but not to Sam56mas, so I'm just calling everybody suspected.  Closing. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:24, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
