 * – Violation of the username policy as a misleading username. Impersonates Ryder1992. --Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 07:47, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
 * There seems to be some related socking going on at the moment but I'd still before blocking as a username violation. Is there an SPI page for that case? – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 08:21, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Ryder1977's only IP is a proxy. Courcelles (talk) 15:44, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't know if anyone has asked the stewards to run CU on VIWP, but we can't get anything useful here on EN. Courcelles (talk) 15:46, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I haven't, but that seems prudent. What's the method to do so? - UtherSRG (talk) 16:12, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
 * @UtherSRG Folks who use IRC tend to contact them directly. Folks who don't have to use Steward requests/Checkuser. Courcelles (talk) 16:27, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok. I don't have my meta login on this PC. I'll hit it later today if someone else doesn't. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:34, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Viwiki has local CUs; it's unlikely that stewards will agree to run a check there. --Blablubbs (talk) 18:23, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
 * These accounts are now globally locked. Closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 16:51, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

obvious sock is obvious, edits on Vietnamese currency-related articles, similar to other socks such as User:Nguyễn Năng Quang. Also added a fake block notice to their own talk page similar to another account User:NangquangBot (softblocked for username)(added to above) although that block notice placed by that account was accurate for that block.

 * and a new one has popped up. added.Lavalizard101 (talk) 12:36, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
 * More evidence that NangQuang2014 is a sock, this edit added an image file that a prior sock User:Nguyễn Năng Quang uploaded. Lavalizard101 (talk) 11:39, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
 * pinging who blocked Nguyễn Năng Quang. Lavalizard101 (talk) 11:40, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Blocked and tagged. I've also requested global locks for the three socks and changed the archive notice to make such requests in the future. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 17:51, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

A whole bunch of "Nang" and "Quang" named socks were blocked on 5 September. Now we have NăngQuang14, equally focused on Vietnamese bills (see their move of Vietnamese one-hundred đồng bill) and uploading bill images as if they are the copyright holder like.

 * Blocked, tagged, global lock requested, leaving CU request... Bbb23 (talk) 15:57, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅, no unblocked accounts I can see. Moving straight to closed. Courcelles (talk) 15:58, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Still the same endeavour to create articles about Vietnamese bills (e.g. Vietnamese five-thousand-dong bill), with images of the currency uploaded as "own work" (e.g. File:5000 Vietnamese Dong 1991 (Back side).jpg). While the latter is a Commons issue, it is evidence of socking. Fram (talk) 14:01, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Fairly technically, behaviour is ducky. Already blocked, lock requested, closing.   Girth Summit  (blether)  13:50, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I was coming to the same conclusion. Courcelles (talk) 14:05, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

I look through these account contributions and found out many coincidences (like both and  are edited on different article but on same topic which is about the Vietnamese dong bill/cash I thought), and also a sign of sockpuppetry can clearly be seen through editor's username. Based on these evidences I've talked in I think that's enough to open this check request. I also added these account, which is related to the case cuz them behavior are quite similar as if they were ,  or  in the past. Hope a check will be able to deal with this case, thanks. ☀DefenderTienMinh⛤☯☽ ( talk ) 17:50, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

 * - Given how many accounts previous checks turned up, please check if they are using any more now. Sir Sputnik (talk) 22:53, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
 * and are both already blocked as socks of  on viwiki, and they are pretty likely to past socks from this case. Additionally, RaidenEixYaeMiko is very likely to, which is also already blocked as a sock on viwiki. 's only edit here was made on a different range, but I note that they are also already blocked as a sock of  on viwiki. I'm going to block all and request locks; I'll pass on working out what tags to apply.  Girth Summit  (blether)  12:02, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

I want to expand the investigation: find and catch some sleepers since it were confirmed as under WP:DUCK on viwiki. ☀DefenderTienMinh⛤☯☽ ( talk ) 08:02, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
