The link between the sockmaster and the first IP is fairly obvious. Right after thy were indefed and their second appeal to get unblocked was declined, the IP asked two admins, here and here, to look into the content of an article that the sockmaster edit warred over.

The second IP (from the same geolocation) reached out to an admin during the sockmaster's first block.

The third IP (same geolocation as the other two) edit warred on another article, the Marinid dynasty (here and on the fr wiki too ), until it was protected ; at which point, and following the same pattern as the other IPS, they reached out to an admin  and asked them to restore it to their favourite version. When that didn't work, the sockmaster turned up a week later and did it. If confirmed, the third IP would prove that the sockmaster has been IP socking for the sole purpose of edit warring. This is the main reason I opened this investigation. M.Bitton (talk) 00:03, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

The sock puppet has just reinstated the same content that was introduced by the indefed sock master in the Tajine article. They both use rv, ... while reverting, and add a double hyphen -- to their signature. Furthermore, the sock puppet contacted another editor and complained about Ras el hanout, the very article that got the master into trouble. The other two targeted the Tajine article in the last 24 hours, while the last one is involved in another article, admittedly in the talk page, but the name and the similar arguments put forward cannot be ignored. Lastly, all of them are new accounts that have been registered in the last 72 hours or so. M.Bitton (talk) 14:39, 7 May 2020 (UTC)


 * There's a possible link between this and the other SPI. As you can see, the sock puppet (Parabenz) is first thanking "Miko2020" for their like before asking them to contact them off wiki . Luckily, they wrote in in English. M.Bitton (talk) 16:36, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I'm surprised that you had gone that far just because you can't defend yourself in the last talk we had (Link where i had a talk with this user If you need to check it) and you took this so personally. Well, I don't know what am doing on this list that you gave, having the same name "mustapha" (wich is my name) with other accounts doesn't prove that this accounts are mine im not the only man in this world named Mustapha. And, you said that all users you listed are new in Wikipedia. Well, I created my account 5 years ago. Now, let's wait for an administrator to prove that your thoughts are wrong about me. Have a nice day. --Mustapha1919 (talk) 15:22, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
 * In that case, you have nothing to worry about. I don't know who's whom, but I know that there is a link between the editors, hence the SPIs. M.Bitton (talk) 16:36, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

miko is a pseudo i knew in another forum, i wanted to know if it was him, and it's none of your business. If I didn't write in arabic it's because I don't have an arabic keyboard. You are here 24H/7 days just to fuel the moroccan-algerian disputes in moroccan related articles, whenever I check an article I see you, you are incapabale of discussing or justifying your modifications.

Even if ll these 5 accounts were me, that doesn't give you the right to remove sourced content without justification from the Tajine article or from any other one.

Now lets check if the user Sam alNumidi is not your sock puppet, going to be hard, I know you take your precautions...

"he uses two hyphens", I like it, no I just click on the signature button like everyone else...poor guy --Parabenz (talk) 17:28, 7 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Actually, I'm glad you wrote it in English, so that everyone can understand. The edits on the Tajine article were explained to the indefed user (you, for all I know) who kept ignoring what I said and insisting on introducing everything they could find in the lead, including OR and a statue of the dish; but that's another issue and this isn't the venue for that.
 * poor guy I think we're done here. M.Bitton (talk) 18:31, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Mentioned in Sockpuppet investigations/Jamaru25 as possibly related. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:17, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * It seems likely that Mustapha1919 is not the brand-new user they appear to be (although they do have some minor history on other wikis). New users don't usually dive right into long arguments on talk pages.  And the similarity in user name to Mustapha abdell is also suspicious.  On the other hand, they've already been CUd in Sockpuppet investigations/Jamaru25 which only came up with possibly.  That CU also looked at Parabenz, but not AZSH.  So, I'm really not sure what to do here.  It might be worth asking for another CU to look at AZSH, but I'm not optimistic it'll go anywhere.  Maybe just lie low, and keep watching.  If nothing else, if there is socking going on and we end up blocking some of the socks for edit warring, that might flush out more definitive evidence, so that's my recommendation.  -- RoySmith (talk) 15:52, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
