Reason(s): All accounts above take the same ground in an Articles for Deletion (AfD) discussion. The local CU discussion (linked above) first only involved "ChyuDY" and several IP addresses, which didn't qualify for a CU (thus another user was opposing). However, by today (Jan 21th), 3 new accounts were registered, taking the same ground as the first one, making this CU request check-able. Account #1 still acts a lot different from the other three, so even though #2 through #4 could be considered as a duck, whether #1 is related to the other socks needs CU to confirm.

I'm one of the participants of the discussion. As far as I can see, the two users aren't threatening anyone. There might be some misunderstanding. --Matt Smith (talk) 15:25, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
I accept the checkuser request. But the actual reason is not what "User:Super Wang" said; instead, it is just that the other editor "User:Chinuan12623", who holds opposite opinions in the article discussion, is wondering whether I and Winertai are the same person. For the details, please see zh:Wikipedia:元維基用戶查核請求#S89176.--Barter84 (talk) 13:07, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

  • Discussion: ro.wikipedia does not have any checkuser, all cases will be reported here

Reason(s): They are probably en:WP:SOCKS. Arguments:

Indeed your wiki does not have a checkuser, but we generally want you to discuss your allegation within your community before bringing it up on SRCU for non-clearcut cases, because we lack the background information your fellow community members might have. Request itself sounds bit-  CheckUser is not for fishing for me. — regards, Revi 14:49, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
@-revi: They were already reported at w:ro:Wikipedia:Reclamații, but I did not receive any feedback, be it good or bad; neither thumbs-up nor thumbs-down. My two cents are that it is a socks farm, there were many accounts beginning with Fant or Fanta just recently created at ro.wiki. Odd, don't you think? All four accounts edited the same article between 25 January 2020, 16:17 and 26 January 2020, 23:07, which is too improbable to be a mere coincidence. All four are less than a week-old accounts, and all happened to edit the very same article, one of them performing DUCK edits by undoing my correction. Besides Fantaim is the Romanian phonetic spelling for the English Fantime (or Funtime). As manifest from the history of that article, they weren't edit warring just against me, but against NGC 54 as well. Tgeorgescu (talk) 22:09, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

許三觀賣血記 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)

Reason(s): In December 2019, a user created some socks (listed below, they should be checked too) to impersonate User:Inufuusen (nickname 犬風船, now known as UjuiUjuMandan). They also use the accounts to disrupt DYK nomination page. They are blocked as DUCK. Other accounts attacking the blocking admin are created and soon blocked. No additional accounts is discovered in January.

Recently 李煌教授壯烈成仁 was registered whose name resembles an LTA active in 2012 and 2013 which is likely unrelated. A sysop blocked the account as a sock of that LTA. 李煌教授壯烈成仁 soon requested unblock and requested to rename the account to another username which still resembles that LTA. It was declined as the unblock request is disruptive.

海蠣餅是福州傳統的風味小吃 was created and soon blocked for similar editing of DYK nomination page with the accounts created in 2019. It is blocked, but he admitted in talk page that he also operates other accounts above including 李煌教授壯烈成仁 (who also edited DYK nomination page).

In a discussion of CheckUser request, some users suggest using CheckUser to confirm the relationship and find any unblocked account. GZWDer (talk) 17:36, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

The accounts created in December are:

These accounts may also be socks (low confidence):

Update: User:許三觀賣血記 now started a block appeal. CheckUser result by Stewards will be helpful in the appeal process.--GZWDer (talk) 19:14, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Put all local blocks ON HOLD as behavioral evidence suggests one or more accounts listed above may be affected because of shared proxy. --Techyan（Talk） 00:12, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello @Techyan: can you explain which accounts? --Alaa :)..! 10:34, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
@علاء: Hello, sorry for being absent for a few days. In my opinion 工口姬月 is an innocent user, they don't have bad record and a disruptive username. For the filter-stopped account, the reason of block may be the username contains "维基百科" (Chinese for "Wikipedia"). Hope this helps. --Super Wang hates PC You hate, too? 13:04, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
@Techyan:Anyway, in my opinion, upon the edition pattern of users like "許三觀賣血記"， I think now it's safe to say at least some accounts are socks of "李煌教授壯烈成仁".--Kuon.Haku (talk) 15:08, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
I did looked at the contributions of the users from this case, I agree with what Kuon.Haku said above, and why not take this discussion back to WP:HAM. As far as what stewards need to do, they have done what they could already. --Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 15:12, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Updated. Local discussions speculate the CU result may need to further break down into two groups, but we will handle that locally. I think major concerns regarding the CU result itself have solved. Thanks. --Techyan（Talk） 16:27, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
Thanks @Techyan: and please pass my point that requests on SRCU should be as simple as it can, not like this way! as when it simple we can understand it and process it as fast as we can! Also, no need for community discussion to be on meta, you should discuss it locally then put in SRCU the summary without too long details. Thanks on advance --Alaa :)..! 16:40, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
The {{CU request}} template can only list ten accounts, but in this case there're more accounts to check. So probably I have to list all accounts in "reason" like this.--GZWDer (talk) 16:52, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
I pointed out CU request can handle at most 10 accounts in local discussion, but it seemed too late as GZWDer posted here at SRCU first. Screw that firewall. --Super Wang hates PC You hate, too? 01:01, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
What I usually do for more than 10 accounts is to put in the additional account using {{checkuser}} in the reason column. If that's help GZWDer.--Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 07:04, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi, علاء, Techyan, Camouflaged Mirage, GZWDer, Kuon.Haku and Hamish, please notice that another technically-unrelated sock-puppet appeared. See this, thank you. --悔晚斋 (talk) 12:53, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

Zeitgeistkritiker (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Miacek (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Reason(s): Zeitgeistkritiker is a recently created account that started off editing articles and discussion pages in provocative manner (arguing based on personal political opinions, making political statements, clashing with several users over neutrality issues, as referred in Wikipedia discussion), while being well accustomed to policy pages and former discussions. Previously user Miacek has been blocked in en.wikipedia and in a couple of more Wikipedia versions for similar behaviour. In et.wikipedia Miacek went inactive a little while before Zeitgeistkritiker was created. Other than that both users have 1) similar interests, like arguing over political ideologies highlighted in lead sections of political party articles, based on personal opinion (e.g. [1], [2] vs. [3, [4]), editing various articles related to Polish history and other Poland-related articles, and 2) similar language skills (in addition to en.wikipedia and et.wikipedia they make some language proficient edits in de.wikipedia and ru.wikipedia). I hope it's not too late to make this request as Miacek hasn't been active nearly three months. Pikne 15:09, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
