This account is definitely a sock puppet of someone, I think I've got the right master here but I've requested checkuser to see.

Evidence that this account is a sockpuppet of someone: Reasons I suspect this is Zaid Zayd
 * On their ~ 10th edit here this user added a list of "My Wikipedian volunteer" to their user page, all of whom are people that this account has never interacted with: . Rather tellingly there's a checkuser among the list of previous aquatiances
 * Their first edit here was to create a template, second edit was to create a category, and third edit was to create another template. This is not a sequence of edits that I would expect from a new editor.
 * These edits demonstrate significant knowledge of mediawiki markup, within 4 edits of joining they're using magic words, category sort keys, templates with parameters, code + no wiki tags etc
 * They have used sock puppets in the past that started out by making userboxes under various "Template:user foo" titles, see the log of their know sock Special:Log/Young_Brown_Boy for example
 * They've spent a lot of their early edits constructing an elaborate userpage to farm autoconfirmed, which is typical zayn zaid sock behaviuor.
 * It's difficult to support with diffs, but this account writes with the exact same style of semi-broken English as their other socks. If you read User talk:Liz anyone familiar with this case should recognise the style of writing, e.g. compare to
 * All edits are performed through the mobile web site, just like their previous socks. 192.76.8.74 (talk) 04:43, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Repeatedly overwriting Android 1.0, similar to previous sock. Outed themselves on my Talk page here. Jalen Folf  (talk)  06:52, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

 * It is so helpful when a sockpuppeteer openly states that they are evading blocks for sockpuppetry. In fact I had already seen enough to convince me before I saw that, but it's nice to have it confirmed. I shall block revert and delete. JBW (talk) 10:07, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
