I'm opening this case so that a CheckUser can be done. As we know, these accounts are block-evading Supreme Genghis Khan's block and continually vandalizing articles (blanking and replacing large characters in articles lke the one mentioned and Chinggis Khan International Airport) and also adding NoWikis  and also obscene unblcok requests (deleted version of User talk:JamesBWatson Genghis Khan and . This case may also be considered "For the Record" but I am thinking it's a good idea to find the underlying IPs and block them.  TheCoffeeAddict   talk &#124; contribs  13:29, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

 * There is no doubt that these accounts are all the same vandal, and they have all been blocked. However, I do think a CheckUser may be useful, to see whether there are any IP blocks or range blocks which might help, as the vandal just keeps coming back with a new account every time one is blocked.


 * Years ago, I would have assumed that the fact that several administrators had blocked accounts as sockpuppets meant that the fact of sockpuppetry was well enough established, and there was no need to spend time and effort on collecting evidence, but in recent months I have known it to happen that a clerk has declined CU requests on the basis that no evidence of sockpuppetry had been provided, even after administrators had already determined that there was enough evidence, so here are a few diffs:, , , , , , , , . Much of the vandalism is on articles related to Mongolia, but there are also edits on other articles, user talk pages, and Administrator intervention against vandalism.

 * Although all of the accounts are ✅, every single account is using an IP from a different range. I don't see how a block - and it would have to be a hard block because the person is not editing with the IPs themselves - would be helpful. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:17, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Similar edits to Mongolia related articles, including (big Genghis Khan text),  and removing themself from WP:AIV:. As said before, maybe CU may be useless as the IP range is too large... TheCoffeeAddict  talk &#124; contribs  07:32, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Aside from the similarity in usernames, Supreme Bishop King has also made an edit at Asia's Next Top Model (cycle 4) similar to one made by Supreme Genghis Khan at Asia's Next Top Model. The former has also blanked content at Kim Il-sung, like the latter did at Power rule (click here) and Tyra Banks (click here). Linguist 111 talk 14:49, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

, if you look in the archive, a rangeblock has been proposed but it is impossible as this vandal keeps IP hopping. TheCoffeeAddict  talk &#124; contribs  07:51, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

For the record, here are other sockpuppets:
 * User:JamesBVatson
 * User:GenghisBWatson

A common feature of this vandal is that he tends to harass User:JamesBWatson. However, as I believe (from previous investigations) that each account is on a different IP range, it is impossible to block... TheCoffeeAddict  talk &#124; contribs  07:53, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

 * I don't see anything that can be achieved by this report. Both accounts are obviously sockpuppets (one of them even said so) and both have already been blocked. As TheCoffeeAddict says, a previous CheckUser concluded that the IP addresses are too widely scattered for range blocks. The sockpuppeteer does not, as far as I know, have a history of using sleepers, but creates new accounts as and when he or she is going to use them. (For example, each of the accounts listed in this report was created one minute before it first edited.) Normally, I would be closing this report, but since it particularly involves me, I will leave it in case anyone else has anything to add.


 * The best thing we can do is just revert, block, and ignore as each sockpuppet pops up. Posting a sockpuppet investigation report when there is nothing that can possibly be achieved at best just wastes time, and at worst may possibly give the sockpuppeteer the satisfaction of seeing that he/she is getting attention again.
