(Note that I added Greetingfox as that is also a recent account blocked as suspected based on behavior, but only as a reference for this case)

As the previous check mentioned VPN use, I am aware that results may not be conclusive, but CU was requested and it could be used, so I decided to request here. Thanks in advance. [[User:0xDeadbeef|0xDeadbeef]] ([[User talk:0xDeadbeef|talk]]) 08:09, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

:{{notdone}}. The request concerns one account that has indeed been locked for cross-wiki abuse. However, the current request does not sufficiently explain the relation between the accounts: it just provides some general claims, without backing them up with evidence (''e.g.'' diffs...). In addition, one account has never edited the Incubator and another one is stale. The link between the locked account and Flowingblaze is also not sufficiently clear (and does not become clear from the request) to warrant a CU. Comparing the contributions of the different accounts also does not yield a valid reason for a CU investigation. [[User:Daniuu|Daniuu]] ([[User talk:Daniuu|talk]]) 17:29, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

:::You can always ask for that, but I would recommend to come up with a more elaborated motivation of the CU request than you did here (and for sure include diffs etc.). [[User:Daniuu|Daniuu]] ([[User talk:Daniuu|talk]]) 22:56, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

 |reason          = Wsmoyuying's first edits are to request for deletion review of list of people who received a death sentence: [https://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:%E5%AD%98%E5%BB%A2%E8%A6%86%E6%A0%B8%E8%AB%8B%E6%B1%82&diff=prev&oldid=85039856][https://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:%E5%AD%98%E5%BB%A2%E8%A6%86%E6%A0%B8%E8%AB%8B%E6%B1%82&diff=prev&oldid=85113904], also forgetting to sign their posts. This is connected to Mikedogge's socks, which almost exclusively focused on the same topic (list of people who received death sentence), and also forget to sign posts (see [https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:%E5%82%80%E5%84%A1%E8%AA%BF%E6%9F%A5/%E6%A1%88%E4%BB%B6/Mikedogge/%E5%AD%98%E6%AA%94 SPI archive]).

However, a different perspective has re-emerged that this might also be purely coincidental. In light of Wsmoyuying's [https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Wsmoyuying unblock request], a CU check is requested here to see if technical evidence supports the behavioral evidence or weakens the behavioral evidence.

: There are many instances where someone is the target of impersonation, and it is not always necessary to investigate the impersonation account. If there is an investigation, there must be a reason, but in this case, what was suspicious? How is it different from a typical impersonation? I don't think it's enough to just touch the pages they edited. --[[User:Sotiale|Sotiale]] ([[User talk:Sotiale|talk]]) 08:37, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
::The current case is that Jeremylinvip and Tiss'''ch'''erry are having a revert war on a page, and Tiss'''b'''erry, an impersonation of Tiss'''ch'''erry, takes Jeremylinvip's side in edit warring. It should be worth investigating whether Jeremylinvip is the actually one controlling the impersonation account to frame(?) Tiss'''ch'''erry, or if it is just a rogue impersonator taking advantage of the edit warring.
