Suspected sockpuppets


Sockmaster attempted to create an autobiography and was eventually blocked for repeatedly adding spam links about his organization. On 16 July 2014, Peaceful Peaceful recreated the Shahzad Ali Najmi biography, and when it was nominated for deletion, the rest of the socks spoke up at Talk:Shahzad Ali Najmi page in support of the article (mostly "WP:ILIKEIT" arguments, but at least one argument that it would a violation of human rights to delete the article!). These other users' sole contributions have been at this talk page, and to edit Ali Najmi's entry in List of Sufi saints. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:25, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any way to get some priority for this report? The sock farm have been disrupting Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shahzad Ali Najmi with WP:ILIKEIT arguments. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:17, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Added Checkuser request. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:34, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

More detail has been requested (see comment by King of Hearts below). I would have thought a simple review of the contributions of the accused socks would have been sufficient, but if details are needed, here we go:

I think it is telling that all sockpuppets first commented at the talk page, rather than at the AFD, which would be the proper venue to contest an AFD'd article. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:21, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments[edit]
  •  Additional information needed -  Clerk declined. In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
  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. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:03, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
