 * Suspected sockpuppets

The similarity in user name and identical editing pattern of making unexplained and often arbitrary changes to genres and categories of Japanese musician/band articles make it obvious that the new account was created to evade the indefinite block on the first account only a few days ago for continued disruptive editing.

 * I would also add User:Maria Ponyo as another possible sockpuppet. This account has only made two edits, but it was created right after Yui Ponyo was blocked and has made the exact same kind of edits. It may be a sockpuppet in reserve. As is noted on Yui Ponyo's talk page, Yui Ponyo itself may be a sockpuppet of blocked IP (which, by the way, was blocked by the editor Ponyo--could the names be a means of revenge?).

Ciara Ponyo is the latest in the "Ponyo" series with identical editing behaviour that includes needlessly and incorrectly changing Japanese music genres. DAJF (talk) 14:16, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Ciara Ponyo created an article Nagoya pop which I have tagged for speedy deletion as a hoax. It was based on the insertion of the term "Nagoya pop" in the article on Access (band) by Yui Ponyo that had not been reverted (I have since done so). This may be evidence that Ciara Ponyo may be the same user as Yui Ponyo. Michitaro (talk) 18:55, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

 * I'm adding a CU here to confirm these accounts, as well as find any sleepers. Maria Ponyo didn't come up in the last case, and I'm wondering if there are any others as well. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 14:32, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * These three are all the same, but I didn't see any others at a glance. TN X Man  18:32, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Blocked and tagged Maria and Ciara; San already blocked by Daniel Case. JohnCD (talk) 20:57, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

The latest two incarnations in the "Ponyo" series (three previous socks have already been blocked), continuing the original editor's habit of making unnecessary/incorrect changes to Japanese music articles. Is there no way to prevent this user from repeatedly creating new accounts each time the latest sock is blocked? DAJF (talk) 23:13, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Both blocked and tagged per WP:DUCK. The autoblock will prevent them from creating accounts, but if they change IPs there's not much we can do. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 04:30, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Same name except for the "j", same pattern of changing genre designations of Japanese music groups. Michitaro (talk) 19:11, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
