 * Xinjiang guy and YuukiHirohiko appear to be ❌, but the following accounts are ✅ from a technical standpoint to YuukiHirohiko:
 * Note overlap on Nathu La and Cho La clashes. This is a bit of a bizarre case because their edits appear to oppose each other. In this edit DharmaP4t3lDE removes content that YuukiHirohiko later restores. Similarly, in this edit DharmaP4t3lDE makes a change that YuukiHirohiko reverts. If you examine Special:Contributions/DharmaP4t3lDE, this account clearly made 10 edits to their userspace to game autoconfirmed status to edit the article, which was semi-protected at the time. On the talk page, YuukiHirohiko started a discussion at Talk:Nathu La and Cho La clashes in which they complain Why are edits reverted every time a NPOV is done?. It would appear to me that YuukiHirohiko used a sockpuppet account to make it look like the problem of continuous reverting was worse than it actually was. For this reason, I will be blocking the three accounts indefinitely.
 * Xinjiang guy is using what appears to be a rather busy shared IP address—a lot of accounts came up with virtually indistinguishable technical data, which makes it hard for me to say whether there is socking on that IP, a bunch of unrelated people using public Wi-Fi, or a combination of both. (Any passing CU please feel free to double-check this and give a 2O if they wish.) There appears to be a remote possibility that some kind of webhost/proxy is involved here, but I think it would require a relatively high degree of technical skill and intent to evade CU detection, so it seems unlikely in this case. In the absence of more concrete evidence of sockpuppetry, I don't think we can block Xinjiang guy at this time.
 * YuukiHirohiko, DharmaP4t3lDE, and DharmaPatel . Please rename this case to YuukiHirohiko. Thanks, Mz7 (talk) 19:57, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Actually, I went ahead and moved the case myself because I wanted to try out GeneralNotability's new script to do it and also because I wanted to make the sure the block reasons aren't misleading. Closing now. Mz7 (talk) 20:03, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Another account created after YuukiHirohiko got blocked, and making same edits. Could be xinjiang guy too who also made same edit. Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 00:38, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
