A curious interest in one Halkawt Zaher/Halkawt zaher. See also User:Wxhamoka/sandbox. Suspected UPE. Sockmaster has been page blocked by from editing Halkawt Zaher and has been asked about paid editing. I am about to make the same request of the suspected puppet. Do we need CU or does it quack loudly enough? Fiddle  Faddle  19:32, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 * In view of the second report, I think that this is tending towards needing CU Fiddle   Faddle  20:28, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The blocked (for other reasons) Sockmaster Ahmaddler keeps inserting  Halkawt Zaher on their own talk page.  Might a pleasant admin have a quiet word with them and consider they talk page privileges with them? I have removed at least one, warned them, but it's getting rather old and tedious to keep batting this material away  Fiddle   Faddle  23:41, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

 * So, I partial blocked Ahmaddler, and a bunch pf people raised a bunch of concerns, and next comes Wxhamoka editing about the same subject in the same manner. Interesting. -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 19:59, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 * How'd Ahmaddler recreate Halkawt zaher after I partial blocked him? -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 20:01, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I think that he's only blocked from editing the page after it's created (so he's unable to make further edits or remove CSD tags etc.). It would appear that the partial block doesn't actually prevent creating the page at all, though. In my opinion, it should block creation as well as editing. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 20:17, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 * There are currently open questions about partial blocks for page creation - see phab:T252349 and phab:T271253. Thryduulf (talk) 00:35, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Curses. Foiled again. -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 02:35, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Went ahead and indeffed Ahmaddler for spamming and lack of response. -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 18:16, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Suspected master was banned by admin from editing the many iterations of articles and drafts about "Halkawt zaher" which have all been CSD'd.  Today a brand new account with one edit adds the same material to Draft:Halkawt zaher  JW 1961   Talk  20:12, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry I think this should be combined with the above as I was obviously writing this when Timtrent was filing their report. I dont know how to do that alas!  JW 1961   Talk  20:21, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 * this seems like the sort of behaviour that an edit filter would be suited to dealing with. Thryduulf (talk) 01:32, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually, it was just a block. Edit filters are far beyond me. -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 02:03, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , Any admin action is beyond me, and I agree Fiddle   Faddle  07:55, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Same obsession with Halkawt Zaher. Time for CU to determine how many other sleepers abound, please. I found this lot by searching for Halkawt Zaher in all name spaces. Some are more recent than others Fiddle   Faddle  16:44, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , did Matodler not show up in the check, please?  See the second of yesterday's reports  Fiddle   Faddle  21:58, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment - It looks like User:Shko.dara13 might be the user's oldest account. Please correct me if I'm mistaken. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 18:10, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , I think you are correct, though they are also one of the least active. Indeed that may be a butcher (is that the right word for a master of meat puppets?) who created the whole shenanigans. If endorsed I think CU will get close to the matter. I'm wondering if there is now a whole farm connected with this editor's meagre contributions record  Fiddle   Faddle  18:14, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
 * If butcher ain't the right word then it should be! Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 18:21, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Blocked the outstanding confirmed socks. Also blocked Shko.dara13 as "suspected" - their sandbox page has largely the same language but was unformatted (as if they'd copied and pasted the rendered text from one of the past socks' drafts), my suspicion is meatpuppet or UPE there. Leaving the 11-year-stale sock alone. Case should stay under Ahmaddler - Shko.dara is older, but again, I think it's a different person. Closing. GeneralNotability (talk) 03:05, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
