Singora was blocked on 26 March 2017; it was verified by the community at AN. He returned as an IP on 24 June 2017 to give feedback on an FAC review, having boasted about it on the proboards whinge-fest site. After the matter ended at ANI, the IP was blocked by. The sock, AuricGoldfinger, has now posted the same lines as comment 1 and comment 2 of the IP. These are definatley connected, both to the IP and the Singora account. (Note the closing line in the Goldfinger comment "Doubtless some shit-faced moderator will now come along and ban me, but I'm happy to help.") - SchroCat (talk) 08:20, 28 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment from Singora, 23 April 2017, in which he states that he had set up a new account (the AuricGoldfinger account's first edit was on 20 April 2017). - SchroCat (talk) 08:40, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Admission by "AuricGoldfinger" that "IMO, Wikipedia's best featured article about Malaysia is currently the piece I wrote last year about George Town's Seri Rambai cannon". Seri Rambai was taken to FAC by Singora. – SchroCat (talk) 21:57, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

I don't think the James Bond user name is an accident either, it looks to me like a piss take of Blofeld/James Bond, which is typical of Singora, given that he's been trolling for three months day in day out now.♦  Dr. Blofeld  09:02, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Blocked. He doesn't seem to be making much effort to hide it. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:33, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

This looks fishy to me... at Articles for deletion/Holly Neher an editor using the IP address above has made a comment that seems to be knowledgeable about Wikipedia, but it is the first and as of now only contribution for this IP address. That is listed in the "suspected behavior" section. Also, the comments use the exact wording "trivial bollocks" used by another editor in the discussion. It's not much evidence and could be incorrect, but I believe worth a look just to be sure. Paul McDonald (talk) 13:20, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

 * This IP appears to be the same person as, but what would you like us to do here? GABgab 15:23, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure. If it's no big deal then I expect we can move on.  If there are rules broken, then we should address them.  I don't have a lot of experience in sockpuppet investigations and trust you have a clearer understanding than me.--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:30, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

 * My gut feeling is that this is, but the IP's haven't been active since the 7th, and I don't think any action is necessary right now. Closing. Sro23 (talk) 22:13, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Correct call and he's blocked by . The upstream master is Singora. Moved casename to correct master.
