Ghedicb is the new account of Taolabomay, Suoperidol, and Choixong di.

User makes the same edits in Draft:Vietnamese creation myth which was created by the user. Same disruptive and unexplained edits in Vietnamese clothing, check Suoperidol edits in Vietnamese clothing for reference. Lachy70 ( talk) 08:07, 16 December 2022 (UTC) reply

Same repetitive edits to Vietnamese clothing, adding back grammatical errors and duplicate photos. Look at Ghedicb and Suoperidol edits. Lachy70 ( talk) 17:27, 17 December 2022 (UTC) reply

Xammat is an SPA that took over work on Draft:Vietnamese creation myth after the previous socks were blocked, and has now moved it into mainspace. Curb Safe Charmer ( talk) 07:26, 16 January 2023 (UTC) reply

• Xammat is  Blocked without tags. CheckUser requested - to have a look at DM42715 ( talk ⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki) which also appears at Vietnamese creation myth and other paged edited by socks. Thanks. Callanecc ( talk • contribs • logs) 11:23, 16 January 2023 (UTC) reply
• Xammat is  Confirmed to Suoperidol and Nungrutu. DM42715 is in the same country, but looks different otherwise - no overlap on IP ranges, different UA. Girth Summit _(blether) 20:04, 16 January 2023 (UTC) reply
• Thanks, I've tagged Xammat as confirmed. I'm happy to leave DM42715 unblocked. Closing. Callanecc ( talk • contribs • logs) 04:50, 17 January 2023 (UTC) reply

The user seems to be doing similar edits to previous sockpuppets on the same article, requesting CheckUser. Lachy70 ( talk) 17:30, 18 January 2023 (UTC) reply

i think that he is Nungrutu, an account that got banned for sockpuppeting. He has been editing same articles. He also vandalises in "Kings of the gods" articles (Lạc Long Quân is the Vietnamese King of gods, so is Ông Trời, but Ông Trời is just a version of Chinese Jade Emperor and he keep deleting Lac Long Quan, a pure Vietnamese King of gods due to his personal religous beliefs.)

• This account edits articles related to Vietnamese religions (same topic). That itself shouldn't be a problem, but every of their edits are tagged Mobile edit, Mobile web edit which increased the similar patterns.
• The last identified sock of Taolabomay is Paiqai ( talk · contribs), who was blocked on 1 February 2023, and Otomo Ajah was created on 8 February 2023.
• What really drove my attention is this one, when Otomo Ajah performed the exact page move that Nungrutu ( talk · contribs), an earlier sock did. Đại Việt quốc ( talk) 18:04, 14 November 2023 (UTC) reply

  @ Blablubbs, Girth Summit, Callanecc, and Mz7: Since you looked into the previous cases, can you let me know if there are any more evidence I should add (on second thought I have a feeling the ones above might not be enough). Đại Việt quốc ( talk) 21:34, 14 November 2023 (UTC) reply
