This user always posts on China related wars, battles, military-lists articles. Makes the edits to make the results favorable to China.

On the history page of this article I found 5 of the accounts making the same changes. The name of Arrow is a giveaway.

Identical posting style and the same pattern of edit warring. He/she has been doing this for a long time. I suspect he/she might have more accounts. DynaDu (talk) 20:54, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Sock updating same pages, related to Chinese battles. 3 SOCKS have been discovered and blocked in the last week. This account was created after the last sock was blocked. Adamgerber80 (talk) 05:01, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

There's much more evidence that hasn't been brought up yet, so I'll bring it up here for more supporting evidence that a CheckUser may be necessary here, and I already seen you open an investigation on this user very recently in the past according to the archive. The two key pages to pay attention to appear to be both Sino-Nepalese War and Sikkim expedition. Both of the users in question have contributions that are marked with the tags "mobile edit" and "mobile app edit". This comparison shows similarities in multiple articles. So yeah, that's more information that we can work from. Cosmic Clone (talk) 02:32, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

 * SKANN and Skanba are each other's socks. Or they're socks on feet that belong to the same body. Or however you want to phrase it. Drmies (talk) 02:49, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

Aknanaka and Akanns make the same editor on Battle of Qatwan. Aalnqb ,Skanba ,Airkeeper and Akanns make a lot of editing on Sino-Nepalese War at a similar time. According to Sockpuppet investigations/Born A/Archive, there may be other socks but not found. O1lI0 (talk) 15:59, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Akanns and Aknanaka do the same editing in Battle of Qatwan.(Keywords:Decisive) Skanba 7 edits, Aalnqb 2 edits ,and Akanns[1][2] do the same editing in Sino-Nepalese War.(Keywords: 1.Gurkhas and Tibetans 2.Tibet under Qing rule 3.Draw and victory 4. 5. Nepalese invaded Tibet or  Nepalese forces invaded Tibet)--O1lI0 (talk) 00:38, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Please before accusing me, just look at the edit. I have provided edit summary and donot add unsourced content like the Chinese socks are doing. I am also from different country Nepal while they're all Chinese and edit Chinese military topics Akanns' contribution, Skanba's, Aalnqb's

You have provided no evidence for either of the alleged socks. For Akanns, all you say is they made the same edit without providing two diffs, one for each of the users. For the others, particularly Airkeeper, whom you list as an alleged puppet, you've provided zero evidence of a connection between the alleged sock(s) and the master or a blocked sock. Saying these users do "a lot of editing" on a particular article means virtually nothing. Is every editor who edits that article a sock?--Bbb23 (talk) 17:21, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
