KazakhNews aded some recipients in the article Order of Parasat []. Some names are well known and notable, some not. After explaining, why in the list can be only notable persons, he reverted changes with single purpose accounts, always fresh new and only with one contribution.

After temporary semi-pp of the article he created new article Yasser Mohammad Yanukovich, about one of names in the list. IMHO clear promo. Yopie (talk) 14:39, 1 September 2015 (UTC)


 * KazakhNews diff
 * MilosBilovlad diff and
 * Alexasmirnova diff

Please note, that all socks are single purpose, with no other edits than in the article Order of Parasat and edits are same and in same day. I hope this will help.

 * - In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
 * 1) At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
 * 2) At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
 * 3) In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  18:49, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

The only contributions of these users is maintaining the article Yasser Mohammad Yanukovich (created by KazakhNews), or working on articles on his relatives (Dzhokhar Paulo Yanukovich / Hazem Yanukovich). All the edits involve use of fake citations, and the articles are most probably hoaxes. Example diffs:


 * Anastaciavolvanov (creator of Hazem Yanukovich)
 * AppleSocksJam
 * Bizakovakimlee

 * Had already blocked and  as obvious socks based on behavior before seeing this. Also deleted Hazem Yanukovich and Yasser Mohammad Yanukovich as blatant hoaxes (every ref was faked or did not mention subjects, positions stated did not exist).  Kuru   (talk)  22:00, 20 February 2016 (UTC)


 * All non-stale account are already blocked. Nothing to do here, so closing.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  22:38, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
