 * This is a duplicate report - also reported at Sockpuppet investigations/Ameer al safar. I'm pretty confident that Rihaan M is a sock of Ameer al safar, and have run a check and commented on the SPI case over there. Closing this case.   Girth Summit  (blether)  16:39, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Technically, this is pretty . They're in the same country, but there's no other connection as far as CU is concerned. Could potentially be a different UPE outfit picking up where a previous one left off of course.  Girth Summit  (blether)  16:18, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
 * The deleted version of the article also doesn't look very similar to the live one, so G5 doesn't apply. I've keep an eye on them,, and see if more signs show up that they could be linked to another group etc. Closing without action for now. The SandDoctor  Talk 16:25, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Proforma - all these accounts are blocked already, making a record for future reference. Rihaan M was blocked on 23 October 2022 for disruptive editing. AstroWiki7 was then picked up on a check following an unblock request for Rihaan M, and blocked. Ameer al safar was reported as a possible sock at Sockpuppet investigations/Ambili123. While investigating, I came across CallistoR7 on some of the IPs that Ameer al safar had used. CallistoR7 is unambiguously ✅ to Rihaan M and AstroWiki7; Ameer al safar is less certain. They use the same IP range, and there are a few instances of them using the exact same IPs as CallistoR7, but there are significant time gaps between them, and the UAs aren't an exact match. What tipped me into blocking was the article overlap: in addition to what the Editor Interaction Analyzer shows, there are about five now-deleted articles where they have overlapped.

On 21 January, 's account was blocked, and on 27 January, a new account named was created. According to the log, created an article called Vilayath Buddha, which was later deleted, and  recreated it Draft:Vilayath Buddha. The same applies to Thankam (film) which was recreated by. Both accounts have a similar interest in writing about films and related topics, and there is a significant overlap between their IDs. These accounts have a history of using multiple accounts simultaneously, so I am requesting a checkuser to investigate possible sleeper accounts. Akevsharma (talk) 17:00, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

The article on Sreejith Sarang, originally created by Ameer al Safar, has been recreated by Fgnew as Draft:Sreejith Sarang after getting deleted on 22 January 2023. The socks in this farm are interested in creating and editing articles related to films and have significant overlap with each other. Akevsharma (talk) 02:35, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

 * CU was declined by, but there are some notes on past socks on cuwiki, so I ran a check; technically, this account is ❌. If it the same person, they have bought a got hold of a second hand device which is different from their previous models, and moved to a new continent, in the past few months.
