The sock master deleted (diff) the same sourced content that was deleted by the sock puppet (امين اسفي) 24 hours earlier (diff). Both editors have been introducing baseless original research in articles that are related to the culture of the Maghreb (here and in the French and Arabic Wikipedias).

 * . The accounts share the same geographic region and ISP, but are using different devices. Mz7 (talk) 01:33, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Closing with no action. Somewhat suspicious, yeah, but not enough to convince me of socking.  -- RoySmith (talk) 16:37, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

The sock puppet (Miko2020) has been edit warring (4 reverts in the last 24 hours) over what the master introduced in the Caftan article. Both of them use a very specific sentence in their edit summary reference talking only about Moroccan tajine, while removing sourced content from the Tajine article. The other two were also restoring some of the same content and could possibly be related. Lastly, all of them are new accounts that have been registered in the last 72 hours or so.

 * There's a possible link between this and the other SPI. As you can see, the other sock puppet (Parabenz) is first thanking "Miko2020" for their like before asking them to contact them off wiki . Luckily, they wrote in in English. M.Bitton (talk) 16:36, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

 * I worked on this last year. Looks like the master from the archive is still the oldest.  I'm seeing a few similarities.  All of these users are active on fr and ar as well as enwiki, and most of them were on those before coming to en.  But, that could mean nothing more than they're all from French North Africa.  Two of them (Uuuuuuuala and Miko2020) created their en accounts on consecutive days.  I'm also tempted to say that Uuuuuuuala is the kind of username you make up when you need to think of something quickly.  The most interesting thing is the common wording (and non-standard English usage) in this edit by Miko vs. this one by Jaaru.  None of this proves anything, but I think there's enough bits and pieces to justify a CU.  I haven't explored the suggested connection to Sockpuppet investigations/AZSH, but maybe something will come out in the check?  -- RoySmith (talk) 18:35, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Yep, I agree and go for. If I use the same litmus test as on the Kangleingakpa SPI. I'd probably want a result of likely or higher before I'd be willing to block, if it were possilikely or possible I'd need to look at the evidence much more deeply before I'd be willing to block.

 * Miko2020 is ❌.
 * is in the same range/place as Jamaru25 during the discussion on Talk:Harcha that they both participated in making them.
 * Uuuuuuuala and Ninakawaii0i along with and  are all in the same proximity (one city usually) with some crossover in ranges making them  to each other and the master. They are using different devices but there is some split between phones and laptops/desktops that gives the impression that there is some socking going on..
 * My take on all this is a lot of "possible" from CU, and I don't see enough behavioral evidence to prove anything. Another thing I just noticed is that on their user talk page, Miko2020 only capitalizes "i" (first person pronoun) when it's the first word of a sentence; in the middle of a sentence, it's consistently lower case.  Jamaru25, on the other hand, capitalizes it in both places.  So, I'm virtually certain those two aren't the same person (not to mention the "unrelated" on them from CU).  As for the others, as I play with various combinations of editors in https://tools.wmflabs.org/sigma/editorinteract.py, I consistently get the most overlap between Jamaru25 and Miko2020, and those are the two I'm most convinced are not the same person.  So, I think taking no action on any of this for now is the right move.  -- RoySmith (talk) 22:52, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah I agree with that assessment. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:21, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
