Duck behavior at Lee Ka-eun with blocked Wadamz sock User:Coolboyadam21, plus the username that seems slightly too similar to be coincidental. signed,Rosguill talk 00:47, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Newly created account with similar style of citation and area of interest (Chinese/Korean idol singers) as its socks; most notably on Zhou Jieqiong. 79.106.209.213 (talk) 19:19, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

This account has submitted a draft on Hendery Wong after Coolbruh123 was blocked after editing the article on Wong, which has since been stubbed down to a redirect. The Wadamz sock accounts including Coolbruh123 are primarily interested in East Asian idol singers (e.g., Wong). Robert McClenon (talk) 01:53, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Removing redirect to Xiaojun. Previously, article was created by one of the socks Coolbruh123 but redirected to WayV. 160.154.145.77 (talk) 08:49, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

New account created a G5'd article (Zeng Keni) as well as heavy editing in Asian music like the master. First edit (here) demonstrates prior editing knowledge and/or experience on enwiki. Kb03 (talk) 19:22, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Their version of Zeng Keni is substantially different, and I don't think there is enough here to definitively connect DynamiteIce to Wadamz. Closing without action. GeneralNotability (talk) 13:07, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Very similar patterns to another puppet of the puppeteer, see this, the other puppet being user:Coolbruh123. Was evaluated back in October, with no action being taken, but might be worth taking another look.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:35, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

 * I could keep digging for hours, but I want my life back. Everything I've seen so far says DynamiteIce and Coolbruh123 are the same person.  Blocked and tagged.  There's probably a ton of G5 work to be done, but I'll leave that for somebody else. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:23, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , working on it.  Onel 5969  TT me 00:54, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , Thanks. BTW, this might give you a head start (it'll take a minute or so for the page to load). -- RoySmith (talk) 01:03, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , thanks. Will save that in the future (I come across socks a bit in NPP work). Although I'm already getting grief for G5'ng these articles see here. Could you do me a favor? In going through your report, there's an article, Everybody Has.  It's been on WP over a year, and there have been several edits made by other editors, but would you say there was enough so that G5 didn't apply?  Thanks.  Onel 5969  TT me 01:23, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , My personal opinion is that this bunch of edits, which is everything after Coolbruh's initial bunch, don't meet the "substantial edits by others" requirement. I would G5 that without a second thought. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:35, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , thanks. btw... that other editor who posted on my talk page is contesting a bunch of these G5's.  Onel 5969  TT me 01:35, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * And I didn't realize that Everybody Has was created before the puppeteer was blocked. I looked at the date they were first reported, not the date of the block. Done with all the G5's, everything left either has too many other editors' contributions, or was done prior to the block. Thanks for your guidance.  Onel 5969  TT me 01:39, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , Was there anything else you wanted to do here, or should I go ahead and close this report? -- RoySmith (talk) 21:42, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , no, thanks for asking. Good to go.  Onel 5969  TT me 04:09, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
