Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

see Special:History/Syed Abbas Murtaza Shamsi and contribs, multiple behavioral similarities. Don't know if CU is needed. Classic case of another recent account coming in and removing AfD templates and other things from an article, along with editing the AfD itself with very similar language to the sockmaster.Justarandomamerican (talk) Have a good day! 23:21, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm of adding diffs of similarity for the accounts that have not already been blocked to either blocked socks or the sockmaster. Justarandomamerican (talk) Have a good day! 23:45, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
 * For Ohnoitsjamesut: Special:Diff/1147894037, connecting to Special:Diff/1147908018, exact same behavior, with nonsense to touch it up. For Kalbe Sadiq 110: Special:Diff/1147905493 connecting to Special:Diff/1147908018. Courtesy diffs for thorough investigation. Justarandomamerican (talk) Have a good day! 23:56, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

 * I think that the original account might be User:Geohusto who edited a few of the same articles these socks focused on but they are a stale account. And I think there are more socks that a checkuser could identify. Liz Read! Talk! 00:11, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I think User:Ohnoitsjamesut could be blocked just on the basis of admin impersonation. Liz Read! Talk! 00:13, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I've blocked them for impersonation. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:24, 3 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Edit history on at least one of the articles edited by one of the socks you added indicates the original master may be . - — Preceding unsigned comment added by UtherSRG (talk • contribs) 13:48, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

I've blocked a few, which I'm certain about, and which might stem the tide. They're all related, but a full and fair investigation could be quite complicated, and I'm leaving that to another checkuser or another day. -- zzuuzz (talk) 23:41, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Moved case to oldest account, tagged socks, closing. given that the two groups are 'highly likely', I've tagged all as 'confirmed' as it makes the tagging much easier, but let me know if you feel that's inappropriate. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 20:46, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
