Suspected sockpuppets


Novinmirzaei is a SPA who has been trying to publish a questionably notable BLP on Maryam Roohani on various wikis. They have also spent some time making nonsensical edits to their user sandbox, e.g.. A new account,, recently showed up to remove maintenance templates from the Maryam Roohani article: Except for a few minor edits to other articles, the remainder of their editing history consists of similar pointless edits to their sandbox:. On fawiki, Novinmirzaei is blocked as a sock of (see CentralAuth), as is. محسن احمدی 2022 has edited Maryam Roohani on fawiki, makes similar nonsense sandbox edits, and has a similar username to Kong2022.

 * - Please CU to confirm and check for others, given the apparent crosswiki spamming. (I haven't listed MIKAEEEL here because they have no edits to enwiki). Thanks, Spicy (talk) 07:41, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Account started editing almost immediately after the previous sock, User:Novinmirzaei, was indefinitely blocked. Just like the previous sock, user created Navid Mirzaaghazadeh in their sandbox before recreating the article in mainspace. --MuZemike 20:35, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

I noticed this group of accounts creating dubious, likely UPE articles cross-wiki (mainly on fa and en). Lenarzamipoor created Draft:Itsca Group - Yasher2020 uploaded the image used in that draft. Yasher and Lenarzamipoor edited wikidata:Q113547891, an item about the company "Rotec", and Lenarzamipoor created Rotec and Draft:Rotec Group. That article was created on the Igbo Wikipedia by, who is blocked on fawiki as a sock of. MIKAEELL is not registered here but per they likely belong to this group. The cross-wiki spamming and general behaviour is similar to this case as well. Mabobehrostami created the Wikidata item on Saeed Rezaei (which was also edited by Lenarzamipoor). repeatedly tried to create this article on enwiki. The last two accounts are already locked but are included for reference. Spicy (talk) 01:17, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Results:
 * is to, with whom they also overlapped on Draft:Hearing 2017 and Draft:Hidden (2018).
 * This group is quite to the master.
 * is to.
 * This group is a weak to the master.
 * is to the master (and therefore more strongly connected to group 2 than they are to group 1). A sleeper check on this account did not turn up anything.

 * Thanks. - Please indef Lenarzamipoor, Yasher2020, and Hassangoli as proven socks of the master (the others are already locked). Based on the behaviour, I'm convinced this is all the same person or UPE ring. Spicy (talk) 16:07, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Blocked & tagged as requested, closing. firefly  ( t · c ) 16:10, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * the other two as well, I figure there's little harm in doing so if we're already here. --Blablubbs (talk) 16:12, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Post-close note: I ran a limited re-check because of repeated appeals by Lenarzamipoor, just to make sure I didn't miss anything. I'll note that "likely" for Lenarzamipoor and Yasher2020, and "possilikely" for the group would've perhaps been more fitting than my choices above (learning to speak in templates is hard), but I don't think that would have had a significant impact on the case outcome given the behaviour. --Blablubbs (talk) 17:45, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Reposted Duman Sahand, by blocked sock User:Lenarzamipoor, at Doman Sahand. Sandbox looked particularly like the original, with the spelling "Duman" and the original photo:. Photo in the repost at main space then got replaced with some random unrelated person, and the spellings haphazardly changed to "Doman": .2A01:4C8:A4:D8F:11D:5B9F:7E36:1DA4 (talk) 09:00, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

 * - yep, the original version of the article is just about identical to this version by Lenarzamipoor (they renamed ). Please indef Deeebooher as a suspected sock of محسن احمدی 2022. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 23:20, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
