User is continuing editing using an IP. Very similar editing techniques and same style of summary. IP also geolocates to exact same area that was used by user before originally registering. Nördic  Nightfury  07:30, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

They have returned under a different IP. Same attitude as before albeit adding unsourced content Nördic   Nightfury  09:30, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

 * - Your opinion, please?


 * - I think it is quite plainly obvious without diffs. Both IPs the user has used (i.e. this one and previous) geolocate to the same place in Korea where the aforementioned is from and both add unsurced information which he claims to be accurate. IMO .

 * - In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
 * 1) At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
 * 2) At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
 * 3) In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  18:26, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
 * my involvement with this case has been limited to blocking a user who repeatedly marked their edits "minor", which this IP is not, but I see another IP close to this has also been blocked. I don't know what the similar behaviour is meant to be in this case, you will need to provide diffs as Vanjagenije says, to demonstrate that this user is the same as the sockmaster, rather than an innocent user or some unrelated vandal. If you need help with diffs, please let us know. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:00, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Blocked 211.223.0.0/16 for two weeks and found above additional IP. Only two anon edits in that /16 range over the last 6 months and they weren't stellar so no collateral damage. In the future, it does help to present the diffs as evidence...after all, you never know who may be trying to help. Some investigators will simply close a case without looking further if there is no diffs presented so it behooves you to do so.

This account, registered 30 minutes ago at the time of nomination has made edits with edit summaries eerily similar to Yh10057. For example, see Special:History/British Rail Class 87. Both the 203 range IP and the Yh10056 account have tried to remove a paragraph relating to GB Railfrieght with the reason of "duplicate content". Leejy7135 has also removed the same/similar paragraph with the same reason of "duplicate" content. Add to that an edit summary they’ve used - "content correction". (Special:Diff/1001957138) The same edit summary has also been used by Yh10056 and IP. (Special:Diff/1000030462, Special:Diff/1000457087) SK2242 (talk) 04:41, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

As it has come to my attention that this user has been socking I am reporting this IP, who has been making the same exact edits, using the same edit summaries, and editing in the same style as Yh10057. I believe they used this IP to evade their block before they created Yh10056. IP has edited frequently from May 2020 to as recently as 6 days ago, and like Yh10057 describes themselves as "a Korean interested in railroads" (see User talk:SK2242/Archive 2) SK2242 (talk) 00:30, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Concur that this appears to be Yh00157. IP blocked for a year since it looks fairly static. Closing. GeneralNotability (talk) 00:26, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

 * I would agree this is the same user. IP geolocates to Korea Telecom, which as nom says is the same area as what the master claims to be from. Would like to request a speedy close and block; address appears to be a static IP, it's possible that the master may have used this prior to the original block.

Another static IP with the same editing style and summaries, location info is the same as 203.247.28.33 which is blocked as a sock IP. SK2242 (talk) 00:11, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
