, the sockpuppet category at zhwiki is zh:Category:8181811b的維基用戶分身 according to the LTA page. Checked a few of them randomly and all of them only had account at zhwiki and were 5--6 years ago. Only found one so far which is F8518kkbgob. I'm not sure if the LTA case is related to this one. -★- PlyrStar93  → Message me. ← 14:36, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

✅, blocked, and tagged. I can't read the zh.wiki page. Does the LTA have an account on en.wiki? The master is indeffed at nl.wiki for cross-wiki promotion. Should they be globally locked?--Bbb23 (talk) 14:28, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
 * The account you found did register at en.wiki but made no edits, and in any event, is way stale. Thanks very much for helping out.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:19, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, masters and socks should be locked. I note the tireless has locked both in my absence. Cheers. Green Giant (talk) 08:44, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you both. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:39, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Draft salted. -★- PlyrStar93  → Message me. ← 00:14, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * In case the speedy deletion template gets removed by IP socks again, an admin may delete Draft:Zhu Ming and probably salt it since a different title has been salted. -★- PlyrStar93  → Message me. ← 04:04, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * It seems created and contributed by dynamic Chinese ips:
