Suspected sockpuppets


WP:QUACK sockpuppeting in Articles for deletion/Juliette Rossant, Articles for deletion/Shahrbanou Tadjbakhsh, Shahrbanou Tadjbakhsh and Stephen J. Spingarn.


 * Raffmeiste, created December 2019 and with 11 contribs to date, materialized in both AfDs and in Stephen J. Spingarn in close proximity to Aboudaqn.


 * Bobo1926's contributions consist only of the Rossant AfD.


 * FBEdits account has only six contribs, of which one was the Rossant AfD.


 * Vidamag contributions confined to Shahrbanou Tadjbakhsh and related AfD.

Given the blatancy of this socking, requesting CheckUser to determine if this sock farm is of larger dimensions than these four accounts. Note that the socking in Shahrbanou Tadjbakhsh appears to have been instrumental in the article not being deleted. Coretheapple (talk) 15:44, 9 March 2022 (UTC)


 * I neglected to mention that Aboudaqn was the creator of Juliette Rossant. He did not create Shahrbanou Tadjbakhsh  but was the primary opponent of that article's deletion. Coretheapple (talk) 18:24, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Aboudaqn is ✅ to Raffmeiste. The others are  due to proxy use, but looking at their timecards I don't get strong sock vibes, so I'm going to assume they're unrelated.  -- RoySmith (talk) 18:22, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Because this is apparently a first offence by an editor with a long history, I'm going to just block the master for a week, and indef the sock without tags. But  it needs to be understood that sockpuppetry is not allowed and any further socking once your block expires will almost certainly result in an indefinite block. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:24, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
