Same MO and edits as on  using personal attacks in edit-summaries and adding unsourced or poorly sourced BLP information in the article. Both exhibit exactly the same tendencies of rapid-fire edit-warring and using edit-summaries for personal attacks. Both call the information they add "useful".

I had detected about a year ago regular disruption from Califormia IPs to K-pop articles. So I started a category of IP socks from California. It turns out one of them has been confirmed as one of the socks.

WP:DUCK. New account. First thing he does is repeat the same personal attacks Vgleer and socks used against me and Drmies regarding Korean culture and K-pop articles. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις  17:12, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Evidence
 * Nilbuk railing against me and Drmies
 * Blocked sock Kool appe sock doing the same
 * Nilbuk personally attacking me talking about reversions and how "I hate K-pop", although I never reverted him.
 * Blocked sock Kool appe on how "I hate" Korean culture
 * Contribs of blocked sock Kool appe Most of them include edit summaries referring to my alleged "bias" against South Korean culture.
 * Contribs of blocked sock Appe kool All of them attacking me and Drmies.

 * Vgleer (contribs), Kool appe (contribs), Appe kool (contribs) and Nilbuk (contribs) edited on different days and never tried to hide that they were the same person. I don't think this can be defined as "sockpuppeteering". Someone just doesn't care to remember the password. ---Moscow Connection (talk) 20:30, 14 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Also, I looked at Vgleer's edits that got reverted. This one, for example. Instead of simply reverting and posting warning messages to his/her talk page, Dr.K should have just explained that the source was not acceptable by Wikipedia rules and asked to provide a better one. (Actually, Dr.K did post on the article talk page, but without explaining what "reliable sources" were.) What I can see is that Vgleer came to Wikipedia, started making good edits to the Nine Muses article. Then he/she had a misfortune to add member birthdates without a proper source. He was reverted several times without any explanation. Now he is being hunted by admins who never really tried to cooperate with him. --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:30, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * False. I did explain that the wiki source Vgleer was providing was not reliable: . I also explained that the youtube source was not reliable: . The responses by Vgleer were personal attacks which had to be deleted and the creation of a new sock after his sock Kool ape was blocked which he used for more personal attacks and edit-warring adding unsourced positions. I don't think your defense of his actions is convincing. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις   20:38, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Still, Vgleer cooperated, he tried to provide another source (YouTube). It wasn't reliable, but without knowing what "reliable sources" were he didn't have a chance. I think you should make some welcome/warning message especially for K-pop fans. Something explaining what an editor whose edit to a K-pop article got reversed should do. Or maybe write an essay about common problems of K-pop articles in Wikipedia (like, people adding unsourced birthdays and positions). --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:56, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Again false. I did explain to Vgleer about verifiability and reliable sources on his talkpage. The Youtube source was not provided by Vgleer but by his sock Kool Ape. Also I don't think that any essay on providing sources about birthdays or positions is going to do much good for Ryanjay 1996 or Trickjg and their myriad IP socks, although it could help a few well-meaning fans. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις  21:05, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay. I didn't notice it. But still, you can't expect everyone to read stock warning messages and try to understand and click on the links... But okay, you did what you had to do. I can also admit that admins don't have time to talk with everyone, especally with people who try to add something unsourced by force... --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:30, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I think if he sees it, he should ask to explain him the rules and try to cooperate with other editors next time. I really think he looks like a good editor who can make the Nine Muses article better. --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:30, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I looked at the YouTube video and it is a reliable source. It is a video on the Arirang World official channel. Vgleer was right. :) --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:00, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * This discussion is not for here. It is for RSN. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις  21:05, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Ikiwaidep666 just appeared out of nowhere and started to systematically revert my reverts of unsourced BLP information of K-pop articles. Then Fapppster the sock of Ikiwaidep666 took over. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις  08:02, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

I added two more single-edit accounts which recently performed similar edits. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις  08:25, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you Reaper. These are some very interesting results. I was aware of the Insulann Simia account as a vandal of Favonian's user page on an unrelated matter. While Vgleer and LoseContact were socks from another spree of socking/vandalism, although I agree with you that they share the same behaviour, including the rapid-fire edit-warring and rapid sock creation while edit-warring. Should we put all these accounts under one SPI name? Meanwhile I am surprised Fedeguidoni did not match. On the other hand these articles are sock magnets.

Brand-new account apparently doing wiki-gnoming edits but on articles targeted by socks of Vgleer before: One edit away from previous sock, 2 (compare last sock edit on 22 January).

I'm curious as to the purpose of a CheckUser on an account that as yet has not offended any rules? Multiple accounts are not strictly prohibited, nor is abandoning an account for a fresh one. One would think that unless there is a Witch Hunt going on, there should be some offending behavior related to a particular account before a CheckUser is called for?

Regarding the last account, the username format, the timing, the edit-summary attacks and the attack comments on the talkpage led me to add it to the SPI, at least for an investigation as to the presence of a proxy.

Akocsg has been involved in a content dispute over List of Turkic dynasties and countries. Acoscg (two letters switched) first actions was to edit that article and disruptively refactor a discussion at User talk:Dougweller concerning that very topic. My immediate, possibly overhasty, response was to indef the new account and block the old one for a week. Now the older account, and I shall do the AGF and unblock, but I would really like CU to shed some light on this and if possible identify the perennial pest who could be the impostor.

 * It is almost certainly vgleer (both behavior and my checking of CU log). Headed out though, no time to merge. NativeForeigner Talk 06:38, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Per NativeForeigner, I've merged and tagged the accounts accordingly. Mike V  •  Talk  06:46, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

LTA troll attacks are continuing. The second and third have been blocked and tagged by. Perhaps a CU can run a check for sleepers. Δρ.Κ. <sup style="position:relative">λόγος<span style="position:relative;bottom:-2.0ex;left:-5.5ex;*left:-5.5ex">πράξις 06:08, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

I also added Urmum999 which is a look-alike of blocked vandal but the MO is Vgleer. Δρ.Κ. <sup style="position:relative">λόγος<span style="position:relative;bottom:-2.0ex;left:-5.5ex;*left:-5.5ex">πράξις 06:58, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Those three are already CU confirmed to Vgleer during the investigation of the Tirgil34 case (see: ). I'm listing them here for completeness.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  00:21, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

. I'm endorsing the CU to look further for possible connections according to recommendation given by here.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  00:24, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Vgleer, at least there is ample evidence of socking, thus blocked and tagged. Materialscientist (talk) 00:35, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

In his first edit on Wikipedia, "Baki.d" helped Akocsg in his edit-war on Fenerbahçe S.K. (an article extensively edited by Akocsg); "Baki.d" reinstated Akocsg's edit word for word verbatim.- On Talk:Fenerbahçe S.K., "Baki.d" made a section to protect Akocsg; Akocsg joined shortly after, and stated that the agrees with "Baki.d".. 15th edit made by "Baki.d" was to provide support in one of Akocg's FA nominations; the article had been nominated for FA by Akocsg himself. Editor Interaction Analyser speaks for itself. - LouisAragon (talk) 19:07, 6 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Note that Akocsg has been blocked 5 times for edit-warring, was almost indeffed in 2017 (long-term WP:TENDENTIOUS editing on Turkic/Turkey-related topics), and has been indeffed since late 2017 on the German Wiki for the exact same reasons. - LouisAragon (talk) 00:47, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah you can close this (which you just did). Further disruption will be taken to ANI. Best, - LouisAragon (talk) 22:17, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Is there any good reason why I shouldn't close this based on 's comment? BTW, Baki.d's alleged relationship with Akocsg is irrelevant as Baki.d hasn't edited in almost a year.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:37, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
