Adding unnecessary commas after years, overlinks to very common words, ordinals to dates in similar manner and with similar single-word edit summaries to previous sock Wikinadir2023 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log). Often makes multiple sequential edits to articles in same manner too. Editor had multiple accounts on the go last time, so requesting check user to see if more this time.

  1. @Callanecc,
    1. The suspected sock and blocked user accounts mostly edits Islam especially Dawat-e-Islami related articles.
    2. If you see welcome note on @User:Sarshaqarif's user page written clearly, I am Arshaq Arif a blocked sock account.
    3. The blocked user @ArshaqArif, created and edit Faizan Global Relief Foundation a Dawat-e-Islami related article, and blocked (24 Jan) then created new account (15 Feb) with the name @User:Sarshaqarif, 1, 2.
    4. The user @Josephnadir23 and @User:Sarshaqarif did edits on Faizan Global Relief Foundation.
    5. User @Gabrielbot2023 and @User:Sarshaqarif did edits on Faizan Global Relief Foundation.
    6. The user @Khalid Faruqi and @User:Sarshaqarif did edits on Jamia-tul-Madina.
    7. The user @User:Sarshaqarif recently created the articles Imran Attari and Abdul Habib Attari, both are Dawat-e-Islami's persons.
    8. I'm a contributor on Wikipedia and the sole purpose of publishing this article is to spread information about the organization and their spokespersons, the statement copied from Imran Attari's talk page of deletion discussion, created by him.

  1. At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
  2. At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
  3. In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:51, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proforma for future reference. Started with the discussion at the bottom of this version of my talk page. The OP, Achasorry, asserts that they started the Robertglan account, but it has been taken over by another member of a UPE team that they no longer work with. The following accounts are  Confirmed to the OP, Achasorry: Arbaz12309, as recently as 15 July; SyedArshaqArif, from June; and Robertglan, up to 15 May. Checking against Robertglan, I find Darren Cardone, Carlevans459, Ellyross (assorted spam), and also Yokoyungem, Aryanfaruqi (spamming about Sybrid, same as Robertglan), and sleepers Aemanitiger and Abdulhannan7866. CU data is certainly consistent with these being socks from this case. I'm going to go ahead and block all. Girth Summit (blether) 12:20, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was willing to consider this a non issue since the master hadn't edited since my p-block in March, but then they !voted in the AfD so all three are editing. The new account made the requisite edits to move an article and then did so over the declines. There's no way a new editor would know about the draft to do so.

You can't say anything about the IP, but nor have they refuted my comment to log in nor my reversion of a second "keep" so it doesn't appear a denial. All three editors are making similar comments with their keeps Star Mississippi 18:36, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Meammeam creates a draft for a non-notable company here. After the draft is repeatedly declined, Kamaria Winta Mandisa appears. Kamaria Winta Mandisa makes ten minor edits, waits 4 days, and then promptly copy-pastes the content of that draft to an article [3], excepting the AFC templates. Meammeam reactivates to edit the article, [4]. Once tags are added Leroile appears as a supposedly independent editor who goes about removing them.

It is highly unlikely that even two random new editors would share an exclusive interest in a page that has not yet been indexed let alone three. In combination with the dubious associated behaviors and the likelihood of spamming I believe blocks may be warranted. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:B133:66F7:8C8E:ECEC (talk) 15:46, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Username is extremely close to a few previously blocked socks. They also seem to have a similar MO, performing 10 minor edits, waiting a few days, and then publishing/moving a page to mainspace.
