 * Digging a bit deeper I found an older account, probably the master: . (Sorry that this may require a case move now). In January the IP added a file uploaded by HassanHussainOfficial to Marium Mukhtiar. The user has also uploaded images displaying the text "Tajdar E Haram Syed Hassan". And images that portray the same person like an image uploaded by SyedHassan12345: File:Hassan Hussain Official.jpg vs. File:Syed Hassan.png. – NJD-DE (talk) 23:44, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

 * - based on the evidence in the filing, I don't doubt that these accounts are related, but considering the number of socks and the cross-wiki aspect, I think a check would be helpful to ensure these are all of them. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 04:58, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

 * - please block for two weeks (anon-only, account creation blocked); looks like it's been used by the sockmaster since at least the start of the month. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 00:39, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Blocked as requested.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:44, 1 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Closing. (Not going to request locks yet because none of these are blocked on other wikis - someone more familiar with that project might wish to inform Commons CUs). Spicy (talk) 00:47, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

 * 96.255.53.234 has been blocked before as sock of HassanHussainOfficial and edited the article Pir Syed Nazim Hussain Shah again. Clearly still the same user.
 * 174.251.64.76 removes failed verification tag like sock SyedHYouTube
 * Gujhffhtd hasn't made edits to enwiki yet but noting them here for future reference as they uploaded File:Screenshot 20220429-214205 Google.jpg to Commons which was then added to the article by 174.251.64.76.

 * I ran a check on the master to see if I could link them to, but that account has never logged into this Wiki, so I have no data; I did however discover the following, all ✅:
 * I'd appreciate someone else assessing the IPs' contribs, but I will block/tag the listed accounts.  Girth Summit  (blether)  13:31, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
 * 96.255.53.234 looks like it's stable and the only traffic I see there since early February is sockish. Blocked for 3 months. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:52, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Pir Syed Nazim Hussain Shah is the only/main area of interest for this sockmaster. User Fvahdsggdjs created a draft on a book authored by Pir Syed. Notable is the weird usage of inline citations where they use plaintext and wikilink it which a previous sock has done as well (diff this user, diff sock). The draft was created using an image uploaded by a different user who hasn't not logged into enwiki. This is a behavior we've seen already in the past (Gujhffhtd uploaded a file to Commons which was then added to the article by 174.251.64.76). Nothing for future reference also user who has never logged into enwiki as well but uploaded the same bookcover like 23hassan25hussain. – NJD-DE (talk) 00:22, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Behavioral evidence (as in, creating Draft:Syed Hassan which was previously created by the master) indicates that these IPs are related to the master. Liliana UwU (talk / contributions) 22:12, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

See Syed Hassan Jafari (actor)—likely the same subject as Draft:Syed Hassan, which was (re)created by the master and socks. —*Fehufangą (✉ Talk · ✎ Contribs) 23:37, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Heavy editing on Draft:Syed Hassan Jafari plus created two articles on Jafari albums.  Ravensfire  (talk) 02:41, 18 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Adding 2600:4040:49E5:8100:0:0:0:0/64 to the list, all of their edirs are Jafari related, and they asked on my talk page if the page was good enough to publish. Behavior alone, this is HHO or affiliated with them.  Ravensfire  (talk) 00:15, 19 November 2023 (UTC)


 * @Izno, oh   .  This should have been filed under Sockpuppet investigations/HassanHussainOfficial.  I'm so sorry, would you mind merging it there? Thankfully I didn't list their name twice, it would have been Me, Myself and I at that point!  Ravensfire  (talk) 03:52, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

Account created just after prior sock blocked. Edits on Rice Exporters Association of Pakistan, Pir Syed Nazim Hussain Shah and Draft:Pir Syed Zagham Abbas, also heavily edited by HHO socks.
