Egregious socking at Gugudan and Talk:Gugudan. They also have an apparent interest in trains. These are cross wiki socks (commons and zh.wiki are two others) and need global locks. See also this 3RRN thread handled by Drmies.

Note zhwiki also blocked these two accounts:

• Un1pjvr ( talk ⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki)
• Iswjy1mcb ( talk ⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki)

There is significant overlapping with the master from these two accounts at zhwiki, for example Korean girl groups: zh:Aqua (組合) created and significantly edited by Un1pjvr; Iswjy1mcb made a large number of edits about trains. Edits from both these two accounts here are about New York City subway which is still part of the master's interest.

@ Berean Hunter: 2pvr2 ( talk ⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki) is related and zhwiki blocked the account as a sock of Tsiusing106 (which is 3GFRIENDSNSD's old username, see global rename history 1 and 2, the username history is Tsiusing106 -> 2GFRIENDTWICE -> 3GFRIENDSNSD).

As for edits, the account mostly edited articles about metro trains so there is overlap. Both 2pvr2 and Iswjy1mcb edited same topic(s): e.g. zh:港鐵現代化列車 (2pvr2 - 1, 2, 3; Iswjy1mcb - 1, 2, 3). They did a bunch of reverts on different articles of the same topic as another sock did: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and then it was blocked as a sock. With all that said, 2pvr2 is globally locked. -★- PlyrStar93 _{→ Message me. ←} 16:52, 15 March 2019 (UTC) reply

• PlyrStar93, Iswjy1mcb is  Confirmed using a different device on the same static IP. Un1pjvr is stale for cu purposes. There is a UA match for the primary device used by the socks above and the locked account, 2pvr2 ( talk ⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki). Is this related? I can't tell what happened at zh.wiki.

• Thank you PS. The account at zh.wiki, Tsiusing106 does not exist here on en.wiki so there is no need to move the case at this time but it is understood that is who this sockmaster is.

    • This account is one that I had considered from the same ranges because they edit MTR trains. I had decided not to list SCRATCH1234 but after they left this post saying that they were going to log out to create another account and gave the same attitude as the master of this case has displayed, that raises doubts and I think that  Behavioural evidence needs evaluation. I note that their first step was to create a userpage. If they aren't found to be related then we still need to determine their other accounts and make sure they know and understand the policy concerning WP:VALIDALT. As an aside, this edit is priceless.

•  Administrator note I don't think SCRATCH1234 ( talk · contribs) is the same person (check edit summaries). I'll leave them a note regarding alternative accounts. Closing. Reaper Eternal ( talk) 21:21, 16 March 2019 (UTC) reply

The account was created today and made four edits. This user's third edit was to remove a "popular culture" section that was deleted by a blocked sockpuppet. The first two edits ( [1]) were to a rolling stock article, a topic of interest shared by the suspected sockmaster (e.g. [2], [3]). The behavior looks very similar to me. epicgenius ( talk) 00:58, 28 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Pretty obvious one, also edits train station related articles, and now adding fancruft to Korean-based Chinese singers despite being reverted by 2 users, same as the user did at Gugudan. Snowflake91 ( talk) 16:04, 30 March 2019 (UTC) reply

 Comment:I am just only seeking consensus by opening the disscussion here, or I will stop adding now because I am new to wikipedia and don't know the meaning of field 'instrument' at the talk page of Zhou Jieqiong. I edit various types of articles here. 쯔위쯔 ( talk) 23:53, 30 March 2019 (UTC) reply
