– An SPI clerk has requested administrator assistance for action regarding the case below. The requested action is below.

Suspected sockpuppets

Tprtm was created a month after Aqww's socks were blocked. Early in their edit history, Tprtm displayed behaviour attempting to mimic an unrelated new account by editing unrelated topics before reverting to their primary interest: [1].

Both Aqww and Tprtm have a working command of English and a habit of writing fully formed sentences with punctuation at the end in their edit summaries. Both edited the same passage on the Gaya Confederacy at Three Kingdoms of Korea: [2].

Sock Q1A1Z uploaded an image without a reliable source on media commons. Both Q1A1Z and Tprtm have added this image to the same articles on the EN/ZH wiki versions ([3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]) in addition to other pages only on the Chinese wiki. They both engaged in prolonged edit warring on the Chinese wiki page 中國人民志願軍 ([9] [10]) from June to December 2022. Tprtm's sock IP also participated in the edit war despite being warned and blocked on the English wiki a month prior: [11] [12] [13] [14]. Q1A1Z and Tprtm also edit warred over the image at 战俘: [15].

All three accounts (+IP) are active on topics related to Korean history and politics on multiple language versions of wiki including English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. The three accounts edit primarily in English and Chinese while only the IP has edited in Korean. Considering their interests and multilingual editing, it's likely they are fluent in Korean, so the absence of edits on registered accounts may indicate their original account there has been blocked. The multi-language editing primarily in English and Chinese reminds me of another sock case involving the same interests and languages: [16]. Qiushufang (talk) 03:23, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note that I have unblocked Tprtm per a discussion on their talk page, subject to a one-account restriction. I still think it's a good idea for the cases to be merged - even though the editor is using a different account from the master, they have admitted they are the same person and the investigations should be kept in one place.
