Golfhotelindia was blocked as promotional username here. But in zhwiki it's suspected as a sockpuppet instead - Golf, Hotel and India are NATO phonetic alphabet for G, H and I; User:Alphabravocharlie and User:Deltaechofoxtrot are confirmed as sockpuppets of Dragoon17cc in zhwiki. Note Dragoon17cc may be stale but the first two are non-stale confirmed socks. GZWDer (talk) 10:49, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Oshwah: Please note that the user you blocked is suspected as a sockpuppet of User:Dragoon17cc at zhwiki instead.${\displaystyle 10^{2}}$

And also,it's not a promotional user name,it's a sockpuppet-user-name pattern based on NATO phonetic alphabet.${\displaystyle 10^{2}}$

TEntEn4279 - HA! That's funny! The username came back as promotional to me because I did find a golf Hotel located in India when searching. That's why it has this exact block. Thanks for pinging me about this; I was unaware that the username was part of a sock puppet ring. Given what I've just read in this SPI, the NATO phonetic alphabet is clearly what this username was using :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:17, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply

It's apparently a pattern,"User:Alphabravocharlie"(ABC) and "User:Deltaechofoxtrot"(DEF) are confirmed as sockpuppet of User:Dragoon17cc in zhwiki,and "Golfhotelindia"(GEF) is the next part of the pattern,it's likely a sockpuppet of Dragoon17cc.${\displaystyle 10^{2}}$

• I would take cues from zhwiki on this. Although I can give you a  Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely) there is very little to compare here on enwiki.

• Blocking the remaining three accounts per [1] [2], the naming similarities, and the fact that ZEdzEd3168 is blocked, so this is evading.  Clerk assistance requested: Please merge the two cases. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 18:04, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

ZEdzEd3168 has declared that he is unrelated to Dragoon17cc, concerning the input of the admin, a CU is required.

• I'll be interested in this CU result. For the record, there is a LTA page for Dragoon17cc at the Chinese Wikipedia, which doesn't seem to be mentioned in this SPI archive. It appears that the connection between Dragoon17cc and ZEdzEd3168 (previously TEntEn4279) were never directly linked; rather, they have been connected through accounts that are related to Dragoon17cc.

• For such a short archive, the history of this case is remarkably confusing. Both of the accounts above have been blocked. Putting aside the Chinese wiki, which I have not and will not look at, I don't see any finding that these two accounts were confirmed to each other. We don't reopen SPIs to handle appeals by blocked editors. Although a CU was not requested here properly, it's obvious one is wanted. Such a request can be made at either or both of the users' Talk pages. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:13, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
