Whaft was created about a month after the sock farm was blocked. User:Gustmeister was a sock that added a bunch of content on Chu (state). When Thomasettaei removed the content, Whaft repeatedly reverted him to restore it [1] [2]. A few minutes after the second revert, the IP posted on Wikipedia talk:Sockpuppet investigations/SPI/Clerks and accused Thomasettaei of being a sockpuppet of mine [3], even though I did not participate in the edit war. This paranoid behavior is very typical of Bookworm8899/Gustmeister, who was always suspecting people of doing dirty tricks or being sockpuppets, see [4] and Talk:Dawenkou culture#RFC about linguistic map.

I believe this is Gustmeister/Bookworm8899. There is the same pattern of registering with a trivial edit to the user page, remaining dormant for long periods and defending Gustmeister insertions. The user's previous edit was to link to a file uploaded to Commons on the previous day by commons:user:Mendduets, who appears to be a continuation of commons:user:Bookworm8899, who stopped uploading Tai maps to Commons when Bookworm8899 and socks were blocked here. (Mendduets uploaded File:Tai Migration.svg, the original from which Bookworm8899's File:TaiFamilyTree Overlaid On Map.png was created.) The same file was also one of several Mendduets uploads linked by 748920A45483 (talk · contribs), a sleeper account also created in June and recently blocked by user:Bbb23 as a Bookworm8899 sock. Adding links to Bookworm8899's uploads to Commons was also characteristic of Gustmeister and the other socks. Kanguole 14:31, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
- It seems like these two Chinese, Kanguole, Zanhe, have tried every means possible to prevent and eliminate the fact that the Austronesian used to inhabit all over Eastern China by attacking all users attempting to write about it. But it is too late as international researchers have started to turn their attention to this issue after seeing the idea. It's just the matter of time before this idea widely gets accepted entirely. 115.72.23.170 (talk) 03:28, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
