Name includes a country name, same as many prior socks. (Mustqatar, LondonEuk, and of course Hmkwfrance). Significant overlap with prior socks. The focus on Uttaran was the main flag, as was using the same poor forum source as prior socks, with a focus on highlighting individual ratings.  Ravensfire  (talk) 17:34, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Similar name to master. Articles so far have been Uttaran and pages connected to Dawoodi Bohra, same focus as the master and socks. See from new account vs  from a sock.  Ravensfire  (talk) 20:58, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Compare   to  from prior sock Hmkwdpr. Editor is focused on Uttaran and Mohammed Burhanuddin, two favorite articles of Showbiz Hmkwfrance and socks. The recent history of Burhanuddin shows a focus from this editor, prior socks and various IP's in ranges that Showbiz Hmkwfrance has used before repeatedly trying to add poorly sourced excessively detailed material (basically fancruft).  Ravensfire  (talk) 22:03, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , - sadly, the IP editor (who IS a sock of Showbiz and showing their usual eloquence) is correct, this really should have been Hmkwfrance.  I was cleaning up after the last named SB sock and copy-pasta got me.  Ravensfire  (talk) 14:07, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , I'll get this copied over to the right sock page later today. Apologies.  Ravensfire  (talk) 13:55, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * correct, just this case.  Ravensfire  (talk) 14:32, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

These seems a absent minded report. Can't you look at disimilarity between the two, The person who reported this said 2 articles as Showbiz fav. but see the history neither Showbiz nor his socks ever edited in those articles ever. Merge this into Hmkwdpr and its sock which is entirely different from this sock farm.2402:8100:2244:EE52:A8D8:8EF7:AFB7:E9B9 (talk) 08:19, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

This appeal is likely to Hmkwfrance sock farm .2402:8100:2244:EE52:A8D8:8EF7:AFB7:E9B9 (talk) 08:21, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

 * - requesting confirmation and sleeper check The SandDoctor  Talk 16:40, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * . Same geolocation as Hmkwdpr, but different ranges and user agents.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   22:31, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Redacted some personal attacks. Knock it off, IP. Blablubbs&#124;talk 11:05, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * No worries – please don't move the case yourself, that's usually a clerk thing; probably best to leave that to . Best, Blablubbs&#124;talk 13:56, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Just this specific case & not the entire archive, correct? -- The SandDoctor Talk 14:29, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * If they are indeed related to Hmkwfrance then yes, a simple section move should do. Best, Blablubbs&#124;talk 14:31, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ -- The SandDoctor Talk 14:34, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * - new master to compare against as this section was moved. The SandDoctor  Talk 18:33, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * It seems to me that 's original check was in fact a comparison to Hmkwdpr, which appears to be the only non-stale sock of Hmkwfrance. Nevertheless, I ran a second check, and I discovered that Mohammed.Khandwala is all but ✅ to the account (they're on the same IP at the same time, but with different devices, editing the same articles, which may mean they're one person or perhaps roommates), which in turn is  to Hmkwdpr. Compare also writing style: . All of this combined is sufficient for me to block both Mohammed.Khandwala and Tasnim.burhanalii as sockpuppets of Hmkwfrance., closing.

Same edit as prior sock, on article that has been a favorite topic for Hmkwfrance. Also uploaded and linked to image that was also uploaded and link by prior sock.  Ravensfire  (talk) 17:02, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Definite socks, based on behaviour: I don't know if it's worth the virtual red tape to change the master, but was created 25 July 2015, and belongs in the same sock drawer, as does. Both are quite stale, not having edited for years. Possible socks: 's not edited and only created their user page as a test. has no edits listed, but was blocked by PhilKnight in August 2014 for abusing multiple accounts. Unfortunately, there are no notes on the user page regarding reasoning or related accounts. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 15:28, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

 * - I'm happy to block Abuhanifadubai as Hmkwfrance's block-evading sock on the behavioral evidence, and to disregard the others as being archaeology except for 's block of Hmkw2234. As there are no contribs, deleted contribs, or filter logs I can only conclude that the block was on the basis of CU evidence. Please check the CU logs in case this case should be tied to another.
