Suspected sockpuppets

Brand new editor, first edit is to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chase Koch, an AFD of an article created by Factorhk. In Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Thursby16, Factorhk and Plainswin are extremely likely to be the same person. Plainswin has been insistent on adding a whole paragraph about an incident where Chase Koch, as a minor, ran a stop light and killed another minor. Arenwils also came in and added the whole paragraph back in. -- GB fan 17:04, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

DIFFS as requested
Factorhk originally created the article with the paragraph in it[1]
Plainswin first ever edit was to reinsert the paragraph[2]
Arenwils 4th thru 6th edits are pulling the information out of the section, expanding it back to what was in the article originally[3]
Plainswin edit wars to keep the paragraph aboput the incident in the article[4]
Arenwils reverts the information back into the article[5]
Factorhk only edits concern Chase and Elizabeth Koch with a couple about their father, Special:Contributions/Factorhk
Plainswin only edits concern Chase and Elizabeth Koch, Special:Contributions/Plainswin
Arenwils only edits concern Chase and Elizabeth Koch, Special:Contributions/Arenwils
Factorhk is here for a day and then leaves, Plainswin comes in and edits a couple of days and leaves, Arenwils then shows up edits for a few hours and then is gone again.

@QEDK: The alleged sock's first edit was to !vote keep on the AFD regarding the suspected master's article: [6]. That seems suspicious. GABHello! 00:02, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Additional information needed - @GB fan: Diffs please. This could easily be a duck if what you say is correct. QEDK (TC) 19:25, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Admin action needed -  Looks like a duck to me Block all, clearly the same user. If there are more, consider reporting them here and AIV (also if you notice sleepers, report). QEDK (TC) 09:29, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sock indeffed, master blocked for a week, per QEDK. Case closed. Vanjagenije (talk) 22:57, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets

KingOfKingsTheAssassin and Thursby16 are already confirmed sock puppets. On April 8, new user is created and immediately becomes active on all the same pages Factorhk is.

Factorhk

Plainswin

Even though its a "Weak possible" between Factorhk and KingOfKingsTheAssassin, the resemblance between Factorhk and Plainswin is uncanny. DaltonCastle (talk) 17:45, 8 April 2016 (UTC) DaltonCastle (talk) 17:45, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@L235: We have another suspicious account, Arenwils: [7]. GABHello! 16:46, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I created an SPI for Arenwils with Factorhk as the master at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Factorhk. -- GB fan 17:06, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty obvious WP:DUCK here. Previous SPI: [8] Same name as previously blocked master. (Factorhk, Factorhk2). Making the same POV edits:

Other socks:

Factorhk2

Looks pretty clear cut to me. Please let me know if more is needed. DaltonCastle (talk) 18:46, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
