. With respect to all three puppets, the timing is suspicious as the master was recently blocked. However, the Boalmari Tushar account was created and edited one day before the master's block. There are more edits of Boalmari to review than the other two, although not that many. Every article edited by Boalmari was also edited by the master. Some of the edits are blatant vandalism and some are biased without necessarily being obvious vandalism. There are only a few edits by the two other puppets, but they are both anti-Bangladeshi. They may also be related to each other without being related to the master. The only thing that gives me some pause is in some instances the master and Boalmari edited within minutes of each other. That of course is possible, but it is worth noting.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:12, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Checkuser comments: I confess that my ability to immediately discern some of the non-roman writings is imperfect; however, the CU results are fairly easy to read here. The following are ✅ to be technically indistinguishable from each other:

 * It looks like it's just these three (which are highly to the previous socks, range to is to massive to go further than that). It being a massively massive range (one of the biggest I've seen, I'd suggest turning autoblock off) it's not hard for them to create more.

Self admission in Bengali (using English fonts)

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Arr4/Archive_7&diff=prev&oldid=659245789

There could be sleepers accounts. Cosmic   Emperor  07:11, 19 June 2015 (UTC)


 * If admission is a lie, then she could be the sock of someone else who is posing as Bishal Khan sock. But one similarity is their interest in the page Bangladesh Army  and Bangladesh related topics. Almost three four socks have edited Bangladesh Army  and Yasmin542 also edited that. So, i was confirmed. I don't know about edit details as i don't know Bishal Khan. I saw a comment in Babitaarora's talk page by Yasmin. I went to Yasmin's talk page where she was instructed to use English. I went to that page and found her statement that  she is declaring herself as a sock. I don't have any energy to check similarities in differences.  Cosmic   Emperor  16:39, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Blocked sock. Could you please provide diffs that help show the relation to the master apart from the admission. This is the general requirement for a CU check. Admissions can sometimes be lies.
 * I agree with Berean Hunter, and saying you don't have the energy is not helpful. That said, I personally see enough similarities between the now-blocked puppet and other socks to justify taking a look for sleepers.

 * I'm not convinced there is a sockpuppetry case here at all. Merely sharing common interests with a previously identified sockmaster is not evidence.  Evidence of possible COI / paid editing isn't relevant to a sockpuppetry case (unless perhaps when there is a previously established tie involving the sockmaster, which doesn't appear to be true here).  And the use of CamelCase in user names is hardly unique and, while possibly relevant, is not significant evidence by itself.  So I'm going to close this SPI without taking any action.  —  Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 02:34, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

 * - One way or the other Shipir Bipir has engaged in sockpuppetry, given their editing while logged out detailed above. What's not entirely clear is whether or not they are Bishal khan. Amar Tushar is already globally locked as a sock of Bishal khan (see block log at bnwiki). They have peculiarly overlapping interest, and the timing of some of Shipir Bipir's edits leads me to think that they may be protesting too much.

 * Okay, clearly, the only way to sort this out was for me to run a check. Tayger Paydesh is ✅ to in Sockpuppet investigations/Zifran Islam. The accounts ST47 blocked are operated by the same person. I've blocked Tayger Paydesh - without tags for the moment. I can't deal with this now procedurally, so I've put the report on hold until I can. Tayger Paydesh, like the others, should be globally locked. The number of already globally locked accounts is significant.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:45, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
 * First, I want to add that the new account and the ST47 accounts are also confirmed to the master (Zifran Islam). Second, a clerk admin should do two things. Merge this report to the Zifran Islam case and make sure that this page is either deleted or, if appropriate, only a redirect. A case with Unknown as the master should simply not exist. I don't care whether the account I blocked and the accounts ST47 blocked are tagged.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:25, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

New user, one edit which is nominating a page for deletion. User:Tayger Paydesh, another new user nominating a page for deletion was tagged as Zifran's sock. The first article is about a book written by an author critical of Islam and another article on a well known critic of Islam. Both are related to Bangladesh.

Iniya nominated a book which was targeted by a sock farm less than two weeks ago.

Requesting CheckUser because of the large number of socks and organized targeting of articles that can be perceived to be critical of Islam in Bangladesh. Vinegarymass911 (talk) 12:18, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

'''This case is being reviewed by JJMC89 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.''' Thanks,, I noticed that yesterday in one of your global locks of an account but didn't follow through as I should have. In any event, the case name for that master on en.wiki is Sockpuppet investigations/Bishal Khan, and I agree with you that this case should be merged into the BK case. Please do the merge and retag any accounts that are already (mis)tagged.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:21, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Case moved from Zifran Islam to Bishal Khan and socks retagged —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 03:16, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I cannot figure this out. Apparently, back in 2017, this case was moved from, which is why I asked for the merger to the Bishal Khan case, but now when I was making sure that you had retagged, I saw that apparenty Bishal Khan had been renamed (sometime) to জঙ্গলবাসী. All of জঙ্গলবাসী's contribution history seems to be there, but there's barely any for Bishal Khan. Can you or someone else figure this out before this matter gets "finalized"? , can you help sort this out?--Bbb23 (talk) 14:07, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * NahidSultan renamed Bishal Khan to জঙ্গলবাসী on 24 January 2017. Bishal Khan was then created 19 June 2017. GeneralizationsAreBad merged the জঙ্গলবাসী SPI to Bishal Khan on 27 September 2017 since the Bishal Khan SPI already existed, but it should have been merged in the other direction. I'll wait for any comments before moving to জঙ্গলবাসী and retagging. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 21:05, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the sequence of events. No harm in waiting in case Nahid wants to comment, but if nothing changes within 24 hours, please go ahead with the move.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:07, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * JJMC89 is right, Bishal Khan was blocked here long before I renamed the account. I must have overlooked it when performed the rename at bnwiki. A month later, he started to vandalize other projects. Since then this user created hundreds of accounts. I locked more than 30 accounts in last 30 Days. (locked now) is also the same user. Though, I do not believe Zifran Islam, Obanchito, Evajanest, Jennastuhlmiller are related to Bishal Khan (only the accounts I mentioned above). They are probably separate case. Unlike BK, those users are clearly here for promotional purposes. Best, ~ Nahid</b> Talk 12:47, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Things are never simple. Apparently, Nahid believes that this case should be moved to জঙ্গলবাসী but that some accounts (noted above) should be split off because of behavior (which sounds like the original Zifran Islam case). Because the technical evidence, at least on en.wiki, is the same, such a split will make it harder for CUs in the future. So, before going ahead, please do a detailed behavioral analysis to see if you agree with Nahid and post your results here, including key points to back up whatever conclusion you reach. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:08, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Sorry for the long delay. I went through all of the tagged জঙ্গলবাসী/Bishal Khan (BK) socks. Iniya Vale is likely related to Group 2. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 01:40, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Group 1: Based on behavior they are unrelated to BK (and others listed here by me). These accounts have all made edits with promotional intent related to Kazi Nipu, Arif R Hossain, or Asraful Hoque Sium and not the usual BK targets.
 * – Kazi Nipu is the director of Project Charpoka.
 * : There is overlap in topic area, but this account created a number of Bangladesh ship articles, which is something none of the other BK tagged accounts did.
 * Group 2: This group is connected by edits related to Avijit Roy and does not appear related to BK.
 * Group 3: Possibly related to Group 4 but the file namespace edits and Avijit Roy image uploads make them stand out.
 * Group 4: All other tagged accounts are reasonably be related to BK.

 * JJMC89, Thanks. Group 2 and 3: BK has the habit of working on the sexual, Indian movies, military and LGBT related articles. He also has the habit of blanking of his own articles and nominating his uploaded pictures for deletion. For example: the uploader, nominator, keep voters of this picture are the same. He translated 'LGBT rights in Bangladesh' into bengali, uploaded 'File:Avijit Roy (1972-2015).jpg' and added to the bnwiki article and worked on that article. He added hate comments on number of related articles as well. Now, Shamsun N Tushar is basically Shamshunnahar Tushar (N stands for nahar, শামসুন্নাহার, শামসুন্নাহার তুষার same meaning and other accounts of BK). He does everything in his own twisted way. But they are all BK :) ~ <b style="color:#663300">Nahid</b> Talk 20:16, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Based on 's work (thank you) and 's earlier and most recent comments, the socks in Group 1 should have their own case (as they used to), and the rest of this thing should be moved to . It's going to be very difficult for CUs to distinguish between the two masters because the technical evidence is the same, but the option of not splitting is apparently behaviorally unreasonable.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:14, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I split the original Zifran Islam case back out. I've moved this case from Bishal Khan to জঙ্গলবাসী. All socks have been retagged. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 06:30, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Foxsh has two major edits, Articles for deletion/Women in the Bangladesh Army and Articles for deletion/Pak Sar Jamin Sad Bad (2nd nomination).
