Suspected sockpuppets
Perse9s uses the Persian transliteration "Padusbanids"   (which more or less doesn't exist in English, let alone being close to WP:COMMONNAME), a transliteration Chamroshduty was obsessed about adding

Perse9s added the article Derafsh under "See also" here, an article which was extensively expanded (and more or less created) by Chamroshduty.

The EIA results already have MANY similarities, even though both editors barely have any edits. HistoryofIran (talk) 18:57, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

EDIT: Perse9s doesn't even respond to my claims of him being a sock, does it get more obvious? See here for example. --HistoryofIran (talk) 12:41, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Like Chamroshduty, they geolocate to northern Iran.

Immediately started making (disruptive) edits in Kavad I    and Chalus, Iran , both articles edited by Chamroshduty's sock Perse9s. HistoryofIran (talk) 17:18, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Brand new account and there are already too many similarities in the EIA with the other socks, which didn't even have that many edits to begin with: ArashAbbasi9 v Chamroshduty ArashAbbasi9 v Perse9s. Some of these articles are barely known, such as Kelarestaq.

ArashAbbasi9 also edited the image  added by Chamroshduty

Too many similar EIA results already; Chamroshduty v IP Perse9 v IP ArashAbbasi9 v IP

IP also edits together with another suspected sock, please see the SPI of Archydev down below.

Arsharchy has made 8 edits and 3 of them are already in shown in the EIA. Two of those articles that were edited (Yaldā Night, Chaharshanbe Suri) are rarely edited by others as can be seen under "View History".

Arsharchy also makes supplying edits to that of the IP I just made an SPI of up above (5.215.13.232);

IP adds Persian transliteration -> Arsharchy then edits it

Other examples of the two editing together;

Tirgan; IP Arsharchy

Hijab; IP - Arsharchy

Hijab by country; IP Arsharchy HistoryofIran (talk) 21:58, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

EDIT: The EIA is starting to grow even more, not only for Arsharchy v Chamroshduty but also the other socks of Chamroshduty, Arsharchy v Perse9 Arsharchy v ArashAbbasi9

At Tabarian calendar, Arsharchy added this as a short description, which is very similar to what was recently added in the article itself by Chamroshdutys socks with no source to support it whatsoever (the one citation mentions nothing about the added text)

EDIT: The most obvious one, Arsharchy adds the same image as Chamroshduty in Chaharshanbe Suri

On their userpage, Arsharchy has stated their name is "Arash", one of the socks also have the same name (ArashAbbasi9). Their userpage also state they're from Mazandaran, just like Chamroshduty's did

--HistoryofIran (talk) 18:32, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Since the checkuser was made, I have added more than enough proof that is indeed a sock of Chamroshduty, which should make this pretty straightforward to review. Could someone please take a look at it? --HistoryofIran (talk) 18:53, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Obvious case of sockpuppetry.

The moment AshkanMofidi started editing, they went on to restore all the edits made by Chamroshduty, such as here Tabarian calendar (AshkanMofidi Chamroshduty). --HistoryofIran (talk) 10:30, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

User:MohsenKiyaee was created approximately five hours ago, and many of his/her contributions are either identical to ones made by suspected sockpuppets of User:Chamroshduty, or simply relate to them. For example:
 * In Iranian wedding, compare this diff by User:Arsharchy (suspected sockpuppet), this diff by User:AshkanMofidi (suspected sockpuppet), and this diff by User:MohsenKiyaee.
 * In Sraosha, compare this diff by User:Arsharchy (suspected sockpuppet), this diff by User:AshkanMofidi (suspected sockpuppet), and this diff by User:MohsenKiyaee.

I don't have much on User:Baboli_rika0111, but it was created approximately three hours ago, and the only contribution he/she made is in the article Babol; following a number of edits by User:MohsenKiyaee a few minutes prior.

Everyone single article Mehrdadmosavian has edited so far has been heavily targeted by Chamroshduty and his socks. See some of these EIUs for example

Three brand new accounts appear at the same time and make their first edit in the same article (Yaldā Night) in the same day. Said article has been excessively edited by Chamroshduty's socks (eg    ). It's very common for Chamroshduty to make several accounts when he resumes his sockpuppetry (eg ).

One of the listed users (Ashkan3ashori) has a similiar name to that of Chamroshduty's sock AshkanMofidi HistoryofIran (talk) 20:19, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

 * So, Yaldā Night is a festival occurring on the 21st of December. These accounts made their first edits to the article on that day. That's not exactly convincing evidence of sockpuppetry on its own - I wouldn't endorse a CU because a few newbies edited Christmas on December 25th, for example. Due to a lack of evidence, I'm not endorsing for Khorramiha or Mendiantony1234. However, for a check on  due to the aforementioned username similarity, precocious behaviour (using "rv" in their third edit) and overlap with socks on other articles .
