There is already action on their ranges. But as always, their ranges are so wide, so I think this is only a temporary measure. --Sotiale (talk) 12:35, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

From a technical point of view. Well, a recent investigation suggests that sleepers investigations into them may not be necessary anymore. Most of them are accounts you have already found and blocked. --Sotiale (talk) 11:36, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

Hmm, thanks. The David Ho account and the Alan Kwan accounts were actually registered around the same time (in jawiki), but both only identified over a week later and both had edits during the meantime, so I thought there might be other accounts hiding in a similar way. May I ask if this check has ruled out that no more accounts are found to be registered on jawiki and yet to be connected to zhwiki? Thanks! Luciferian𖤐 11:55, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
@LuciferianThomas: It is impossible to find all such accounts, but at least I can declare that the following accounts are not registered on zhwiki; Tony Tiger 3.0, Johnny to 19960110. And the following accounts are somewhat suspicious, so I hope you will keep an eye on; Frankie Kwan 980654. --Sotiale (talk) 12:10, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
I would actually say this information is very useful, given that the Johnny to 19960110 account edits the exact same zhwikiversity resource page v:zh:愛·回家之開心速遞集數列表及故事系列 while also making a few edits in jawiki, as sockpuppets of Tommy860119 did across accounts, before approaching zhwiki where autoblock probably is affecting his edits, and share the same username format as Gordon Siu 19780210. The Frankie Kwan 980654 account is also likely Tommy860119 (possibly registered and forgotten). Luciferian𖤐 12:24, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
The Tony Tiger 3.0 with no edits is obviously impossible to determine for me, so I'll leave it be and take note of it. Luciferian𖤐 12:29, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

கார்தமிழ்@ta.wikipedia

Do you have any evidence other than guessing that the user you presented may have used a different account? CheckUser performs cross-account comparisons of two or more accounts. Investigations with only one account are rare, and your explanation is not sufficient to conduct this investigation. --Sotiale (talk) 23:58, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
Added. BTW, the user himself made statement that he and others made paid edits, and also he and other pointed users failed to reveal the using multiple IDs. I request to to check whether he has more links. --AntanO 02:54, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
@AntanO: Thanks. Could you please explain how the two added accounts are related to கார்தமிழ்? Please let me know if they also released paid editing, or if you think they are doing editing without it. Also, if the latter, please point out which points are similar in pattern. --Sotiale (talk) 06:23, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
I can't discuss something on open place. Therefore, I removed two user IDs. Anyway, can you check the user if he has socks? I already informed at admin's notice board (w:ta:விக்கிப்பீடியா:நிருவாகிகளுக்கான அறிவிப்புப்பலகை) and I am an admin too. The issues as follows:
  • He made personal attack
  • He said he made paid edits with some users
  • Already two admin requested to reveal the IDs, and he is not responded
  • Four admins have made strong warning and gave grace period for a week.

So, it is most requested in ta.wiki and we want to find socks. I think it is not a problem for meta. --AntanO 14:56, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

@MusikAnimal, Trijnstel, and Tegel: I have made many successful request here, but this time I feel strange. --AntanO 15:07, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

The reason I have a question to address your request is that your explanation is not sufficient to handle this request. You are now requesting to have only one account CheckUser. This is a generally unacceptable investigation, except in special cases. This is a common standard that applies to all requests handled by SRCU, not just yours, and is a practice that applies to all Wikimedia wikis. If you were successful at this you would have explained well enough that they would conduct the investigation under their responsibility. If you believe it is inappropriate to state your grounds publicly, you may do so privately. You seem to think that I ask for a lot. I will refrain from processing this request and pass it on to another steward. --Sotiale (talk) 03:05, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
I listed why I request and it is special case, because the user stated that he and others made paid edits and failed to revel his connection with others IDs. Therefore, it is special case. If Meta rejects it, how can I find his connections? --AntanO 04:03, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
 Declined I am not convinced that you have met the threshold for requirements for CU. While you don't need to provide a second account, you do need to provide evidence that there is second user abusing your wiki and that they are not just coordinating together for this request to be successful. The other option for local admins is to issue a block until he reveals his other accounts, but that's not a method I personally recommend. -- Amanda (she/her) 23:14, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Жубущвьц@zh.wikipedia

Could you briefly explain what their abusive behavior was and which accounts(one or two users possibly unrelated you mentioned) have different edits from them? --Sotiale (talk) 11:55, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
The abusive behavior is uncivil teasing or PA messages. Laimu0502 seems to possibly be a regular user asking about something, but the other aggressive accounts seems to be responding and supporting but with uncivil messages. Luciferian𖤐 12:09, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

At first glance, it is possible that some of them are the same user, but basically it is the case that different users have the same purpose. If you don't need to do this investigation, you can withdraw this request if you just want this information. --Sotiale (talk) 12:43, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
I would say that gives sufficient insight on the case. Thank you! --Luciferian𖤐 16:21, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Joliotium9453@zh.wikipedia

Supplementary note: Joliotium9453 was found to have similar behaviors to previous Xayahrainie43 socks pretending to be a normal new user and get a lot of edits (to get to extended confirmed), but yet their edits in Wikidata and jawiki shows a high possibility of them being X43. When Joliotium9453 was reported to SPI, the user was clearly very familiar with the SPI pages and rules without previously participating in SPI at all, and trying to claim that the reports were inappropriate. User is currently indeffed in zhwiki after 1233 endorsed the request and before he submitted it here. Luciferian𖤐 16:45, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

 Confirmed हिन्दू३ & ॶ. MoreInfo Additional information needed for ए. के. उपाध्याय. -- Amanda (she/her) 17:10, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

@AmandaNP: ए. के. उपाध्याय is blocked on enwikipedia for being sock of a very long term abuser MANOZ GYAASI. Looking at the same interests I suspect these new accounts हिंदू, हिंदू३, हिंदू3 may belong to the same master. During last CU it was found "possible", thus I wanted to be sure if any confirm connection could be established. However, since this account is locally blocked already, this CU request can be closed. Thanks for your help. --SM7--talk-- 05:57, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
@SM7: I could upgrade the result to a Likely Likely between ए. के. उपाध्याय and the two other accounts here. They use the same unique mobile device, in the same major city. -- Amanda (she/her) 17:40, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
@AmandaNP: This is useful but a little bit confusing too because when I requested a CU on enwiki earlier, I thought Adam Chacko group is that long term abuser. Anyway, I will keep blocking. Thanks for your help. --SM7--talk-- 19:43, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
