In Chinese Wikipedia, it is [[:zh:Wikipedia:用戶查核請求#Golfhotelindia|(technically) confirmed]] that Juliettkilolima is a sockpuppet of TEntEn4279, though TEntEn4279 refute to be Juliettkilolima. Juliettkilolima and Golfhotelindia (blocked indefinitely for username issue) are possilikely per [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dragoon17cc]]. I have made this request to check if there're [[WP:GHBH]] issue. Note TEntEn4279 have commented the previous SPI. [[User:GZWDer|GZWDer]] ([[User talk:GZWDer|talk]]) 22:02, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

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. [[User:GZWDer|GZWDer]] ([[User talk:GZWDer|talk]]) 10:49, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

:::[[User:TEntEn4279|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 :-) [[User:Oshwah|<b><span style="color:#C00000">~Oshwah~</span></b>]]<sup><small><b>[[User_talk:Oshwah|<span style="color:blue">(talk)</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Oshwah|<span style="color:green">(contribs)</span>]]</b></small></sup>  12:17, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

*I would take cues from zhwiki on this. Although I can give you a {{possilikely}} there is very little to compare here on enwiki. {{user|Golfhotelindia}} = {{user|Juliettkilolima}}, but *appears* {{unrelated}} to the rest. -- [[User talk:DeltaQuad|<span style="color:white;background-color:#8A2DB8"><b>Amanda</b></span>]] <small>[[User:DeltaQuad|(aka DQ)]]</small> 15:10, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
* Golfhotelindia and Juliettkilolima are already blocked as sockpuppets of another master. As for the others, as [[User:DeltaQuad|Amanda ''alias'' DeltaQuad]] says, there is very little to compare here on enwiki. Nevertheless, combining what little behavioural evidence there is with the "possilikely" CU result, the user name similarity, and the Chinese Wikipedia results, I am convinced that they are all the same person. However, I am not sure whether it is justified to block them, because as far as I can see the editor has not used the multiple accounts abusively on English Wikipedia. I am leaving this investigation open, to see whether anyone else has any comment to make concerning that. It is possible that, even among such a small number of edits, there is something abusive there that I have missed. <small>''The editor who uses the pseudonym''</small> "[[User:JamesBWatson|JamesBWatson]]" ([[User talk:JamesBWatson#top|talk]]) 20:27, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
*Blocking the remaining three accounts per [https://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=45539378] [https://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=45766309], the naming similarities, and the fact that {{U|ZEdzEd3168}} is blocked, so this is evading. {{Clerk request}} Please merge the two cases. ~ [[User:BU Rob13|<b>Rob</b><small><sub>13</sub></small>]]<sup style="margin-left:-1.0ex;">[[User talk:BU Rob13|Talk]]</sup> 18:04, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
*{{clerknote}} Given that {{noping|Dragoon17cc}} is the oldest account by years, I've merged everything here. I couldn't straight histmerge [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ZEdzEd3168]] here due to overlapping edits but I moved that archive under [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dragoon17cc/Archive]] before archiving this case so that both archived cases are found in the same place, which is mostly what matters. <span style="font-size:12pt;background:black;padding:1px 4px">[[User:Salvidrim!|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:white">Ben&nbsp;·&nbsp;Salvidrim!</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Salvidrim|<span style="color:white">&#9993;</span>]]</span> 15:31, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

ZEdzEd3168 has declared that he is unrelated to Dragoon17cc, concerning the input of the admin, a CU is required. [[User:B dash|B dash]] ([[User talk:B dash|talk]]) 06:09, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

*I'll be interested in this CU result. For the record, there is a [[:zh:Wikipedia:持续出没的破坏者/User:Dragoon17cc|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 {{noping|Dragoon17cc}} and {{noping|ZEdzEd3168}} (previously {{noping|TEntEn4279}}) were never directly linked; rather, they have been connected through accounts that are related to Dragoon17cc. [[User:Alex Shih|Alex Shih]] ([[User talk:Alex Shih|talk]]) 06:44, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
*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.--[[User:Bbb23|Bbb23]] ([[User talk:Bbb23|talk]]) 14:13, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
