Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Abdul-Malik01/Archive

Suspected sockpuppets
Both users edit in Timurid/Mughal related articles, which has been suffering from sockpuppetry for some time now, including Abdul-Malik01 who got blocked for it.

Abdul-Malik01 was blocked on the 11th April, Muhyi-ud-Din Wiki started editing on the very same date.

Both users attempted to add the name 'Jalal-ud-Din Minkubirni'  HistoryofIran (talk) 16:51, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

EDIT: Both made a very similar edit to the infobox of Rafi-ush-Shan

 * - Whilst there's no page crossover, those name changes warrant a check in my view. Noting also that is blocked as a sock of Sockpuppet investigations/Rage476. --Jack Frost (talk) 01:08, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * @Bbb23 could you give some details on what made you think Abdul-Malik01 is a sock of Rage476? Based on what I can see in the CU logs, I'd say that connection is  at best. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:08, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Muhyi-ud-Din Wiki is ✅ to Abdul-Malik01. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:17, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what triggered my investigation in the first instance, but you'll note that I blocked Abdul-Malik01 and at the same time. The connection between those two seemed fairly obvious to me in terms of kinds of articles (look at deleted articles, too), all edits marked minor, and the same tags. I also noticed an intersection between Al-Sadr and, a sock I blocked last October; see, e.g., Draft:Mirza Ilahi Baksh. Finally, in terms of Rage476 socks in the archive, most of which don't have very many edits, see . As for intersection on non-deleted articles, see here.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:10, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Al-Sadr'chinbina is ✅ to Besshamagi, Dinobba, and Al-Yeronkhii from the Rage476 case, but I'd have to say that Muhyi-ud-Din and Abdul-Malik01 are unrelated to those.  I'm going to re-tag to reflect that. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:12, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * - until the question of how this is connected to Rage476 is resolved. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:18, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Good to archive now. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:15, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Changed 'Gouhar' to 'Gauhar' in Shah Alam II; Abdul-Malik01 - Shahrukh II

Very similar edit in Muhammad Kam Bakhsh, both removing 'Muhammad' and spacing the infobox out the exact same; Abdul-Malik01 - Shahrukh II

Both changing 'Subedar' to 'Subahdar' in Zakariya Khan Bahadur; Muhyi-ud-Din Wiki - Shahrukh II

Like the rest of the socks, Shahrukh II also edits in mainly South Asian related articles, particularly the ones to do with the Timurids and Mughals. HistoryofIran (talk) 11:27, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

 * ✅. I did a very cursory sleeper check and didn't find anything.  The nature of the data makes doing a more complete check difficult. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:53, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

This brand new user Jahandar Shah has right off the bat made very similar edits as that of Abdul-Malik01's sock User:Shahrukh II in Timur Malik. Compare the edits of Jahandar Shah that I reverted to that of Shahrukh II. Jahandar Shah even randomly said "rv, sock" in one of his edits that restored Shahrukh II's edits, the exact same comment I made when reverting Shahrukh II. EDIT: Now they are just following me in the articles I edit  repeating the same "rv, sock" nonsense. HistoryofIran (talk) 14:37, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
