The master and numerous socks have already been blocked. They've continued to edit from IPs. A large number of generally disruptive and WP:CIR edits and edit-warring, almost always to heads of states articles, especially "list of presidents" type of articles. They have previously been at 2405:205:1280::/44 (March) and other /44 ranges within 2405:205:1000::/36, as well as 2409:4052:2000::/36 and 2409:4052:900::/36. See also a discussion about the problem, which goes back at least a year, at User talk:Emk9.

Just one example of the continuity between the IPs and the master/sock accounts is List of presidents of Bolivia:
 * Today's edit:, restoring the article to their previous version from 18 March, continuing an edit war: , ,.
 * On 18 March, restoring to a version of 28 January by 2409:4052:200f:3b7c::1f5b:80b0: that also subsequently had edit-warring.
 * Sock Javed khan 666 undoing a revert of the IP edits from 2409:4052:2E03:EB7C:0:0:BA8B:D30C:
 * Admin reverting 2409:4052:2281:d5c5::fff:38ad as a sock of master U + 1F4AD, after they restored the edits of sock Hfhjhu:

The name of the sockmaster, use of Unicode in the username, knowledge of Unicode, and the editing from IPs reminds me of the sockmaster Xawq, which has a previous sockpuppet named ℹ U+2139 Information Source (which was never checked but behavioral evidence matches). The behavioral evidence between he two sockmasters doesn't match, though, so this is probably a different sockmaster. Alexlatham96 (talk) 01:24, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Creation of [1] and major changes [1] [2] to "list of state leader" type articles, username of similar format to confirmed sockpuppets such as User:Hfhjhu, User:Ojvh, and User:Utrryy. Emk9 (talk) 19:25, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * They are now vandalizing this page and my talkpage and userpage. Emk9 (talk) 03:05, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Looking into contributions more, I've found that Ojhhghb made a number of edits to Draft:List of heads of state of Dominican Republic, which was created by User:Yophf, who was blocked as a sock of User:Rmjtha. Looking at Sockpuppet investigations/Rmjtha/Archive, I think User:Rmjtha and the three confirmed sockpuppets are likely sockpuppets of User:U + 1F4AD as well. I not sure if User:Ash 2200 is related, U + 1F4AD's edits accross their many socks and IPs almost entirely involve state leaders while Ash 2200 didn't make any edits related to state leaders, though Ash 2200 is global locked with User:Ohknhgg (blocked as sock of User:Rmjtha) referenced in the global lock.

 * I added User:Bvvjgfrt and User:Happy 6258 who, along with User:Ojhhghb are confirmed as sockpuppets on Meta. Emk9 (talk) 23:05, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Focused exclusively on list of presidents. I understand that master is stale and IP addresses are not identified, so this is only to keep a record. — kashmīrī  TALK  17:29, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Can a clerk move this report to WP:Sockpuppet investigations/U + 1F4AD please? I don't know how to do it. Thank you! — kashmīrī  TALK  17:32, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
