Edits the same genres of articles, lots of careless edits (vandalism?) According to his contributions, he edits the same articles as Yip and makes similar changes, such as at San Francisco International Airport, where he adds incorrect information that Jonathan Yip did. At his talk, he requests a CheckUser to prove he isn't a sock. Anyone willing to run it to see? Thanks. WorldTraveller101(Trouble?/My Work) 01:10, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, could I request a Checkuser? He claims to nor be a JY sock, but this edit, which is the same as this edit, made in July 9, 2011 and this one, which is the exact same edit the editor made yesterday. At this point, CheckUser is needed to figure who TSOaD is a sock of. He claims on his talk that he is a sock (yes, he admitted he's a sock...kinda weird). If he is, then I'd like to see talk page and e-mail revoked and perhaps, some sort of ban. I can't figure out who he says his sockpuppeteer is (see his talk). Can Checkuser or someone help? Thanks.

 * For anyone that's interested, see the the proposed site-ban of this user, pending CheckUser results. Thanks. WorldTraveller101(Trouble?/My Work) 13:32, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

 * The technical side of things is not particularly helpful, but the behaviour is extremely suggestive. I found another account created after TheSyndromeOfaDown was blocked, ; . Piynathonoj should just be whacked as an obvious throwaway trolling account that's probably of the master. WilliamH (talk) 21:26, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Already blocked for pasting really weird code snippets, and the quacking is obvious, but probably worth making a check for sleepers etc. — The Potato Hose 20:05, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

 * I think this is a fraud, but still worth doing a CU as an obvious troll. --Rschen7754 23:02, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
 * There is not much to fish for here, Duck test passed. The case history is minimal, and sleepers are not a concern here.  Keegan (talk) 06:19, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
 * To clarify, what I mean is that the behavior does not match at all to known Jonathan Yip behavior - his vandalism was never this blatant. My guess is it's one of those sockmasters that impersonates other sockmasters. --Rschen7754 06:21, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
 * The original account is stale. Without needing to dig further than the IP, CU has nothing further. Keegan (talk) 06:28, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Closing since nothing more can be done. Rschen7754 06:30, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

This user's first edit was to start a topic ban request on someone that he claims was in conflict with a recently blocked sock. — Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 00:36, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

The user making the claim is doing it in retaliation for my complaint againts Lucia Black - his claim is baseless. Chibi Kusanagi (talk) 00:45, 10 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Appears to be related to these comments? I do not know their content, but it was obvious trolling. Previously, User:KuroiNekoko-chan was used at the ANI and other venues.  The last talk page posts made clear the intention. And it was connected to Jonathan Yip. Should be an easy check. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 03:00, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

 * - but I highly doubt it's Jonathan Yip. Obviously a sock though. Rschen7754 00:48, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

IP range is too wide with potential for too much collateral damage. -- Avi (talk) 03:20, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Do you think this could be Jonathan Yip? Behaviorally it looks like a complete imposter. --Rschen7754 03:23, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
 * All accounts blocked and tagged. In view of the doubt as to whether this is Jonathan Yip, I have left Chibi Kusanagi as the sockmaster. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:54, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

These two accounts started disrupting ANI and SPI and appears to be related to the accounts listed in the below closed but not yet archived case, even though it might not be the right sockmaster (no one investigated further). I'm merely listing here to keep continuity with the others as there seemed to be some relationship. — Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 19:22, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Noting for the record: is ✅ to Jonathan Yip. The sock was attempting to impersonate.
