Suspected sockpuppets

[edit]

Disruptive, inappropriate and promotional behaviour at Masih Jafarzadeh, which both users seem to be focusing on. Also see comments left by both users at Talk:Masih Jafarzadeh. Not quite WP:DUCK but, judging by activity, fairly likely that these are the same person.

The sockpuppet is being misused to remove CSD tags under the pretence of being a different user. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 19:11, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • This case is being reviewed by Blablubbs as part of the clerk training process. Please allow him to process the entire case without interference, and pose any questions or concerns either on his talk page or on this page if more appropriate.
    Likely the same person given the renewed attempt at creating an article about Masih Jafarzadeh that is very similar to the version that other socks created; account is already locked, tagging and closing. Blablubbs|talk 00:41, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CyrusTime is already blocked on fawiki as a sock of Nikrad2020, who is confirmed to Ashkan1399. CyrusTime has tried to recreate Masih Jafarzadeh, a known target of this farm, at Draft:Mesih Jafarzadeh and Masih. Lover2022 extensively edited Mohammad Shahrian Nasl, which was created by CyrusTime, and removed deletion tags from it. Lover2022 also moved a draft by Jlolopez2021 (note the username similarity; also blocked for socking on fawiki) to mainspace. All 3 accounts focus on xwiki creation of dubious Iranian biographies and enjoy adding bogus protection templates to their articles [1][2][3]. Requesting CU for other accounts as this seems to be a pretty extensive case of xwiki socking. Spicy (talk) 14:21, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This new account popped up a few hours after the previous global lock was enforced. They have created Morteza Javid and, if memory serves me, this is nearly identical to the article created by the previous sock. The language is also the same "In 2021, he broke an Indian guy’s record".

Also, the user is similarly quite aggressive in manner, see:

Please do a sleeper check as, previously, they were using more than one sock simultaneously.

Same person unfortunately. See this accidental addition of a source relating to Bardia Sadeghi that gave it away. See also Draft:Bardia (singer) and Berdia sadeghi. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 14:06, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Another giveaway is that this user always creates a talk page with no content other than their own signature. They have done this under every sock account so far.

See Ebram:

See Behzad Rico:

See Mohammad:

See Linda Lover:

See Ashkan:

I believe that this user leaves these clues behind deliberately for some reason. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 14:10, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Created shortly after the Mohsen account was blocked (courtesy @Bbb23: and Deepfriedokra declined a UTRS request. Note, that account is now globally locked. Overlap in now thrice deleted Masroor Sheidaei, but general overlap in Iranian subjects with potential UPE/COI editing going on. Star Mississippi 17:34, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:Losangeles gold makes the exact same edits as very recently blocked sock User:Ebrugundesh (creating Mohammad Mahdi Fakhimi, creating the talk page for that article with only a signature). Fram (talk) 07:15, 31 August 2021 (UTC) Fram (talk) 07:15, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Behaviour is exactly the same as the last few socks. Spends almost entire time in his own sandbox then creates a spam article on a non-notable Iranian person. Also then signs the talk page but otherwise leaves it empty which is identical behaviour to all previous socks. One sleeper was uncovered on last CU so might be worth another quick look.

  • Same language of creating sources. Also per The flow of travel to the moon in 1969 was a lie and a part of special effects. regardless of whether he's socking, trolling or otherwise, he's Not Here and I have indeffed accordingly. Sleeper check would be lovely as this farm is non-stop. Star Mississippi 22:49, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
They seem to create a sock immediately after their block, usually, so hopefully a CU will pick up their inevitable next sock. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 08:37, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Shahzad Dana article has been repeatedly recreated in the last year. Per the user log [14] it was originally created by user:Ahmadasna, a sock of user:Ashkan1399 and then G11 on 6 September 2021. Recently it has been recreated and deleted multiple times. It was recreated on the 4 November 2022, sent to Afd per page review on 5 December 2022 at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shahzad Dana and per consensus was deleted. The exact same article was brought back on the same day and G4'd again. On the 11 December it has been recreated and again exact same article and csd again. I opened a coin entry as the editor was ignoring both WP:PAID disclosure notices and a coi notice by admin @Liz:. I noticed at that point on the log that the original editor was sock per Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ashkan1399/Archive and thought about an SPI check. scope_creepTalk 10:43, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent work. scope_creepTalk 15:24, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
