Both Users have an issue with the addition of "According to the World Christian Encyclopedia, the fastest-growing branch of Islam is Ahmadiyya." on Muslim population growth. Although the registered user last edited the article on 13th April, the IP user began its first edit on 15th April. They both have edited the articles Megalopolis (city type) and List of languages by total number of speakers. They have edited the same row of table here and here. --Peaceworld 10:13, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

User:Eulaefty and his/her sockpuppet accounts have a history of editing the article Muslim population growth and adding the phrase "but Ahmadis are considered non-Muslims by the mainstream Muslims." After having reported sockpuppets of User:Eulaefty twice they were blocked. Afterwards I reverted the edit of a sockpuppet that had by now been blocked and removed the phrase. After about two weeks User:Advilgetup creates an account and reverts my edit which most likely means that the user was aware of the situation two weeks earlier. It is important to note also that the revert was the user's first edit. (Note that most new users are even unaware of the existence of the revert button). The editor endorsed the edit by sockpuppets of User:Eulaefty by stating "Not sure why this shouldn't be added." By creating a two week delay, it appears to be an attempt to bypass previous evidences that were used against sockpuppets of User:Eulaefty. I hope I am wrong in my assessment. --Peaceworld 20:07, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

User:Eulalefty, its sockpuppets and (declared) IPs have a history of writing Ahmadiyya as a "non-Muslim" group. For one of many examples see here. Yesterday, an account was created User:Bharatooz under which the following edit was made: here, declaring Ahmadiyya as a "heterodox" denomination. Roughly 3 hours later a (declared) IP of the sockmaster, namely User:198.16.164.205 creates a link to the word "heterodox", here.

I am getting fed up reverting socks on Muslim population growth. An account User:Earnshulks was created solely to remove the following sentence According to the World Christian Encyclopedia, the fastest-growing branch of Islam is Ahmadiyya, something which the socks of Eulalefty have always had an issue with. This "new" user is definitely aware of Wikipedia jargon such as "edit-warring"; "vandalism" and knowns the existence of policies, see here and [2]. Incidentally, the user uses the same "edit-warring" argument in his/her edit-summary as the sockmaster Eulalefty, here. Perhaps I'm clutching at straws here. --Peaceworld 18:03, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that the sockmaster has begun its cycle once again, roughly a year after it was first reported. Dozens of sock acounts, IP addresses, and proxy addresses have been blocked that have been linked to the sockmaster. I present the following evidence which links this IP address to the sockmaster and its puppets:

• Muslim population growth: Both are agitated that the source describe Ahmadiyya as the fastest growing Muslim sect, using the same arguments. IP evidence - [3] & [4]; sock evidence - [5]
• Salafi jihadism: Added exactly the same paragraph to the article. IP evidence - [6]; sock evidence - [7]
• Islamic eschatology: Both have significant interest in editing this article: IP evidence [8]; sock evidence - [9] or alternatively check itshistory.
• Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates: IP address: [10]; sock evidence - [11]
• Islamic Golden Age: IP evidence - [12]; sock evidence - [13]
• Both, the IP and the socks appear to have an interest in labelling the Ahmadiyya Islamic sect as non-Muslim: IP evidence - [14]; sock evidence - [15]

I should perhaps add, if at all relevant, that the sockmaster and its puppets have accused me of vandalism, e.g. [16], [17], and may have been guilty of a personal attack against me, [18] --Peaceworld 13:45, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The following evidence should suffice:

• Twitteristhebest (falsely) claimed at Meta 1 that I have been harassing him or her at the article Muslim population growth. It turns out, as can be easily verified, that Twitteristhebest never really has edited this article, nor its talk page. The only individual that I have confronted on Muslim population growth is Eulalefty and his or her sockpuppets, as can be seen in page's archive.
• Both users are advocates of Alhazen at the article Science: Eulalefty's edit 2; Twitteristhebest's edit 3

The more go through into the histories of concerning articles the more I find socks.

000meow

Same obsession with claiming Pakistan to be "cradle of civilization",[43][44] (though "civilisation" is correct spelling for Pakistani articles) obsession with lead on Islam,[45][46] created the article Islam in South Asia [47] where the recently blocked IP per last report[48] has heavily contributed, making too many trivial edits on user page.[49][50]

Jacmacbac

Created Template:Islam in South Asia[51] like above account created the article. And blocked IP contributed so much on this template that Ponyo had reverted them.[52] Has also made major edits to Islam in South Asia.[53]

70.50.132.126

Since (24 October) @Ponyo: blocked the sock IP, a new IP from same location popped up on same day. Promoting the template/article created by above accounts and using same edit summaries.[54][55]

Once these socks are blocked, I believe it would be better to just G5 these problematic creations. Lorstaking (talk) 05:39, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Though  Stale, I've WP:DUCK blocked Jacmacbac and 000meow as obvious socks, as well as 000meow's declared "alternative account" Loose000. I also deleted the template create by the Jacmacbac sock and removed the transclusions of the template to articles. --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:25, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any obvious accounts, but User:BU Rob13 blocked some of the IPV6 addresses used by this editor in mid-October. Doug Weller talk 17:49, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Belay that. I see a connection with Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Chanakya Volume 2/Archive but I've got to stop now. Hopefully BU Rob13 can confirm this. Doug Weller talk 17:53, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Same name as one previous sock "Shumam" and contributing to Islam in India[66] like past sock.[67]

The listed IP's rampant socking is going on[68], it's ISP and location matches with the past IP sock.[69]

Robertsmith1 and Reallyhotchewypizza are blocked but they belong to this sockmaster since they have also pushed same POV on Muslim and Islam by country. Lorstaking (talk) 04:06, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously Eulalefty: 1 [72][73], 2 [74][75], 3 [76][77], etc.

Consider doing a thorough check because last check was done a few months ago. He sure got many sleepers now. Lorstaking (talk) 12:00, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

First example of diffs above showed him using distinctive edit summary "space?" [78][79]

As usual he is editing his favorite articles: Islam, Pakistan and Science.[80]

Last sock was blocked on 9 February and 12 days later Karachiguy was created.

Added ((cn)) with edit summary "cn" on same paragraph.[81][82]

Same edit summaries:-

"linked": socks,[83][84][85] Karachiguy [86][87][88]

"space?": socks,[89][90][91] Karachiguy [92]

"already linked above" on Islam. [93][94] Lorstaking (talk) 04:22, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
