Confirmed on Wikidata at d:Wikidata:Requests for checkuser/Case/Hardik1430. Evidence on enwiki is pretty much the same as that was given in the Wikidata case. Baghdas2, Baghdas3 are both trying to spam Shovon Ahmed, with the third account being a duck per username, wikidata, and their uploads of entrepreneur pictures on commons.. TModelys is attempting to spam another entrepreneur, and the last two accounts look to be sleepers. I'll leave this open for a local sleeper check, given the possibility of UPE. Pahunkat (talk) 12:46, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Take a look at the description of this image uploaded by Ishovonahmeds (archived) - looks like we've found a PR firm. Pahunkat (talk) 12:50, 9 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I've requested a lock for all the known accounts so far (bound to be more, and will request as they are found). Something seems to be wrong with the SRG page though because it isn't displaying properly, I hope it isn't something I've done with the request. Pahunkat (talk) 14:19, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Locks received. Pahunkat (talk) 09:44, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Don't see any sleepers. All blocked. ST47 (talk) 20:58, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * @ST47: They're all confirmed to each other? --Blablubbs (talk) 19:42, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
 * They're at least likely. There isn't a ton of data on enwiki and I think they were split between two different ranges. However they were confirmed on wikidata. ST47 (talk) 20:28, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Moved to the oldest account and added tags. You seem to be handling this cross-wiki, do you want to handle lock requests, if needed? --Blablubbs (talk) 13:03, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. The template display issue is due to exceeded character limits, it happens sometimes (I think there's a request somewhere above yours that highlights the same issue) – they show if you look at the source, so it's not an issue with your filing. :) --Blablubbs (talk) 14:53, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

Back to spamming Shovon Ahmed (previously spammed by socks Hablus, Ishovonahmeds, Baghdas2+3), see userpage. Uses a photo uploaded by Baghdas2 on commons. CU for any others, the checks on Wikidata normally turn up others. Pahunkat (talk) 16:25, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * +, hijacking Shovon - see . There's a likely older account from January which I just managed to find, but it is stale and likely abandoned ( for the record, in case it resumes editing). Pahunkat (talk) 16:30, 24 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Another account I just found:, see Special:Permalink/1039412007 where they are adding themselves to an article (the foxinterviewer piece is paid PR per offwiki evidence, email me for details if needed). , can you have a look at this one? Pahunkat (talk) 09:42, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

, would you be able to get ? Pahunkat (talk) 08:37, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

 * , was 's block meant to be only 31 hours? Pahunkat (talk) 20:43, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * , just a question - did any of the other accounts from the previous SPI filing come up in the check as linked to Hablus? We seem to have two separate groups, one which is solely centred around shovan ahmed and the other with more x-wiki activity on Wikidata (but still with some promotion of Shovan ahmed). Pahunkat (talk) 20:58, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Arg. No. mouse pointer must have slipped. -- Deep fried okra  ( talk ) 21:00, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * , that's fine - just me being curious, I had expected more activity from this group than what I am seeing now (especially xwiki). Pahunkat (talk) 08:22, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Obvious sock is obvious - see Draft:Shovon Ahmed. The second IP created Draft:Abdul Kader Mirza, which has been spammed by this sockmaster on Wikidata and uses an image from Hablus. 103.114.98.12 has been in their control since July, so a longer block is warranted on that one.
