• All accounts modify categories to food articles (often related to Korea or noodles) in the same way.
• All accounts edit/edit war over symphony and other classical music articles such as Dynamics (music).

This is abusive because, after warnings, one account adds or removes categories inappropriately, often adding a parent category while the child is present. After we revert, the sock comes in and restores it. A typical example: here by [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Janchi_guksu&diff=528110039&oldid=436604401 백돌] then by [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bibim_guksu&diff=540468316&oldid=528948996 Quick Camera]. Another typical case: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jjolmyeon&action=history]

If you need more diffs, there are plenty, but I've poured over almost all of their edits, and they're certainly the same person.

This editor doesn't communicate except for a single edit summary, in perfect English.

The latest sock, 게이트, makes strange category additions such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Karate&diff=prev&oldid=535688629] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dairy_cattle&diff=prev&oldid=535329153].

This editor also appears to use IPs starting with 175.126 Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:25, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

I just added Toilethead101. Same pattern of modifying categories, including one incident of adding parent cat when child is present: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wing_Chun&diff=prev&oldid=542992098]. Very likely sock as edited in common with one or more of the others: Symphony No. 3 (Beethoven), Karate, Wing Chun, Choco Pie, and Planking (fad).

• 산들 (가수) is most likely a sockpuppet of 대우건설 because they both put the same thing on their user page when they create their account. Also 이승기 (1987년) and 산들 (가수) did a similar edit to 2002 FIFA World Cup. Keres🌑(talk • ctb) 16:50, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

The two accounts have similar naming structures, and also share an interest in deleting content relating to Seoul's train system. That being said, the sock appears to be doing so a bit more aggressively (compare sock [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Seoul_Subway_Line_4&diff=prev&oldid=1202103013 1], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Seoul_Subway_Line_3&diff=prev&oldid=1202101406 2], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Seoul_Subway_Line_1&diff=prev&oldid=1202103388 3] with master [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Seoul_Subway_Line_4&diff=prev&oldid=1200854000 a] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Seoul_Metropolitan_Subway&diff=prev&oldid=1200840202 b] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sadang_station&diff=prev&oldid=1200837958 c]. I'm seeing that the master is globally locked, and I suspect that the two are connected due to the proximity in timing (the second account was created a day or so after the master was globally locked) and the shared interest. I'm placing this here for record-keeping's sake, as I've already blocked the user as a sock and global locks have been requested. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 04:57, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
