Suspected sockpuppets
I was originally going to list User:Mpiuser (indeffed for spamming) as the master, then noticed that is the older account. Two SPAs spamming about the Miss Planet International contest, both here and at KMwiki, with heavy overlap especially visible at KMwiki. 's first edit was oddly a sandbox creation (about Miss Planet International) at a third account, :. That account has no edits yet, so doesn't warrant a checkuser request, but adding it for completeness. Wikishovel (talk) 09:36, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Blocked and tagged Vannet Kun and tagged Mpiuser. If Helloimyuyu edits and their behavior is the same (likely), a new report should be filed. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 13:48, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

At the last SPI, User:Bbb23 advised If Helloimyuyu edits and their behavior is the same (likely), a new report should be filed, and here we are. Recreated Miss Universe Cambodia 2021 (now moved to draft), and spammy Miss Planet International. This uses images such as File:Maria Luisa Varela Crowned Miss Planet International 2023.jpg uploaded to Commons by User:Vannet Kun, whose account is still active there.

Possible incorrect master: has also recreated Miss Universe Cambodia 2020 at their sandbox, last created by puppeteer User:Amkgp. Wikishovel (talk) 16:47, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

New SPA interested only in SE Asian beauty contests, recreates Draft:Miss Planet International, previously created by at least two Vannet Kun socks. I hear quacking. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:00, 9 January 2024 (UTC)


 * PS: More than just quacking, they actually openly state that both accounts are theirs: User_talk:Vannet_Kun. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:02, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Wow, using a sock account to post your unblock request is a new one. I took a look for other accounts but didn't see any, this one is unsurprisingly ✅ to various past accounts though. Lock requested etc. Spicy (talk) 20:58, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Brand new SPA working only on Asian beauty contests, resubmits Draft:Miss Planet International which has previous socking from the VK farm. It quacks. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:58, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

I'd say odds-on this new user is from the Vannet Kun farm, simply based on their interest in Miss Planet International 2023. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:27, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

New-ish user, has so far only edited Draft:Miss Planet International 2023 and just now recreated Draft:Miss Planet International, both with heavy socking from the Vannet Kun farm. DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:03, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

This doesn't quite feel to me like a sock, but they've just edited Draft:Miss Planet International and created Miss Planet International, which has been previously created by a number of now-blocked users, including at least 2-3 socks of VK, so I'm reporting just in case, and asking for CU for scan for others.

 * This account has been editing for several months and accrued over 2000 edits. If it were a sock, it is implausible that it would not have been found in the numerous recent checks on this case, and the filer admits that the behavioural evidence is lacking. Closing.

Newish account, edits on SE Asian beauty pageants and similar topics, incl. VK's Draft:Miss Planet International 2024. Not much to go by, so might need CU to confirm? DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:08, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
