 * Filing mostly so that people have a place to report to, since this has gone on for ages now. A long-running case of xwiki self-promotion, trying to get an article about Egyptian actor Ali Mansour into mainspace, mostly by just recreating again and again in the hopes that it will stick some day. The list above is taken from m:User:علاء/case2, with all accounts that aren't attached on enwiki removed. There's also some IPs involved, all geolocating to Egypt. Everyone here is blocked and/or locked, I added tags to everyone. Closing. --Blablubbs (talk) 09:06, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

 * , blocked the IP for a few days. There's technically a possible rangeblock here, but the range is huge and busy, so I'm holding off. Closing, thank you both. --Blablubbs (talk) 17:02, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

 * - I'm aware that the accounts in the archives are stale but I think a sleeper check would be worthwhile due to the extensive history of cross-wiki socking (see m:User:علاء/case2). Thanks, Spicy (talk) 17:34, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
 * , but I have started some notes on cuwiki so we should have better historical data going forward. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:50, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Addendum: after looking at this a bit more closely, I think this might be another LTA impersonating Ali mansour for some reason. In either case, a block is appropriate. Spicy (talk) 00:26, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
