Evidence submitted by CordeliaNaismith
Hi, recently while looking at pages edited by new users I noticed an article that seemed like a hoax, Pwang War, created by User:Xxxfunkychixxx. (The topic of the article returned no Google results, although the cited reference was a general history of East Asia). This article is currently being discussed for deletion at Articles for deletion/Pwang War, and consensus seems to be that it is indeed a hoax.

I just noticed another new article, Battle of Changzhi, that looks quite a lot like the Pwang War article: it has the same infobox, the same image, some of the same names that are used in the Pwang War article, and Googling "Battle of Changzhi" doesn't turn up any relevant results, either. The Battle of Changzhi article was created by User:Freeknowledge4all. So, I'm wondering if User:Freeknowledge4all is a sock of User:Xxxfunkychixxx. If so, there may be more socks out there (and quite possibly more hoax articles from this sockfarm), since I just happened across these two. I wonder if someone would be interested in looking into this? Thanks, CordeliaNaismith (talk) 04:26, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

I note that while Battle of Changzhi was added to mainspace by Freeknowledge4all, it was created by Xxxfunkychixxx in his userspace here. Rhomb (talk) 07:44, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Self-endorsing for CU attention. I think running a check may help here. It could possibly be a coincidence here, so I'm not totally convinced on the editing patterns alone. –MuZemike 20:48, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
