Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

Per his userpage, which (in addition to the name) uses a profile picture uploaded by Aryan Ashik. There is a deleted userpage for the sockmaster, which the reviewing admin might want to check too. [NB: After this SPI was created, he blanked the userpage, but it's there in the history.] Most of his edits are to sandbox pages in his userspace where he's added promotional content (on his personal website, linked from his user page, he advertises his services as a Wikipedia writer); the only non-userspace edit so far has been to Jamiah Islamiah Hussainia Gohorpur which was created by the sockmaster. bonadea contributions talk 09:44, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Primefac and Ivanvector: The external links (e.g. Facebook, twitter and IMDb) in the article are same as master's user page Simple:User:Aryan Ashik and Ubaydullah Rume's edit summary "Creating new Article" is exactly same as the master so can you please take a look. Thank you – GSS (talk|c|em) 12:39, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Blocked and tagged Primefac (talk) 13:18, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not so fast. The page created by this new user is entirely different from the one created by earlier sockpuppets, it just happens to have the same name. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 13:26, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Clerk note: @Primefac: unless you've found other evidence of sockpuppetry, please reverse your block and deletion. Courtesy pinging Chrissymad. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 13:31, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Shit, you're right. And the sad thing was, I remember looking at the old version for the creator and saw that it was different. Primefac (talk) 13:52, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Fortunately for you, trout is delicious. We've had a lot of "sockpuppet recreates old page" spamming going on recently but at least as far as this sockfarm is concerned, it doesn't appear to be that. @Chrissymad: I'm closing for lack of evidence, but feel free to re-file if the situation changes.

Ubaydullah Rume created Aryan Ashik today and used the same external links (e.g. Facebook, twitter and IMDb) as master's user page in Simple Wiki Simple:User:Aryan Ashik. Velidity also made an edit on master's user page in Simple Wiki. S/he created G. Sumdany Don last month and mentioned master's name in edit summary as Ashik created new article and then s/he created Margaret Gould Stewart where his edit summary was Creating new Article exactly same as the master and Ubaydullah Rume.

Thank you Bbb23, Ubaydullah Rume made only 2 edits so far and his first edit was creating article on Aryan Ashik and as per the extrnal links the subject of the article is Simple:User:Aryan Ashik also their editing patren is exactly same (e.g. using {{reflist|30em}} and the use of social media templates).

  •  Clerk endorsed - it appears the trout is on my plate. Please check these accounts against the master, they edited as recently as January. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:25, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Velidity is  Confirmed, blocked and tagged. Ubaydullah Rume is  Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely).--Bbb23 (talk) 15:21, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The technical result gives me serious doubts that Ubaydullah Rume is not at least a meatpuppet, so I have (re-)blocked the account. @Primefac: so you know. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:51, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
