Suspected sockpuppets

This is a quite persistent sockpuppeter who keeps coming back after being banned to add promotional content of a very specific nature - see this diff here. They first targeted the page Kabil, before that was semi-protected to prevent their disruptive editing. After that they targeted the page Ravana before this was semi-protected for the same reason. Following this they targeted Rave, Slat , Kabilan (lyricist) , and, one one occasion, 69th meridian east. They have performed this disruptive editing on the multiple accounts listed above, with new accounts being created or new IPs being used after each one is successively banned. They also seem to be editing mainly on the Android app.

While all the above listed sockpuppets and the sockmaster have already been banned for a variety of reasons due to a variety of reports made on WP:AIV, the sockpuppet category is not fully listed. Therefore, I am submitting this sockpuppet investigation in order for this to happen. I would also suggest that the above pages should be semi-protected if they are not already, as the sockmaster will probably try to come back with a new account and hijack those pages anew.

 * Coming back to look at this one again. None of the IPs have edited in a while, and I see some of the requested semi-protection has already been done, so I'm going to close this. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:02, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
