Both spreading the same advertisements/promotional stuff at the Komala Party of Iranian Kurdistan page (including its talk page).- - LouisAragon (talk) 00:03, 15 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Both accounts are WP:SPA accounts which have done nothing on Wikipedia other than inserting promotional material into the article and its talk page in order to promote the party as a group of saints. The two diffs illustrate the same thing. For example in one of the diffs its stated that "Komala has been seeking a secular democratic federal ruling system to replace the current theocratic regime", or "Komala Party of Iranian Kurdistan is an organization which believes in worldwide engagements and memberships to exchange and share viewpoints, policies and values." There are several more accounts which have recently registrated and which are doing the same. I believe there's a big sock nest located within the drawers of this article. - LouisAragon (talk) 15:14, 15 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Added account "MiladAz92". This account has been heavily involved in the article with the same promotional stuff within the same time intervals. "I just found out a report published by Newsweek in which it clearly says Komala is supporting a democratic federal Iran and that the Komala Party is playing a leading role in uniting democratic forces for achieving that goal. Komala is a force for democracy and human rights and that needs to be reflected in this article to be fair and accurate." - LouisAragon (talk) 15:19, 15 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I've been thinking about that as well. The coincidence is really odd though, looking at the time intervals and the general "message" they try to convey. Its certainly WP:TENDENTIOUS. - LouisAragon (talk) 15:53, 15 October 2020 (UTC)


 * They both started to tag various user pages (users who put a halt to their agenda) with speedy deletion tags, within 1,5 hour of each other.-- - LouisAragon (talk) 16:31, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

 * - One of your diffs was a link to the exact same diff. Please outline how these are similar for non-SMEs. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 11:09, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * - I've reviewed the behavior and I think these are different people, so CU won't do much. This could be some kind of off-wiki campaign, but there isn't any evidence here which is strong enough for me to block; it could very well be a handful of people with strong opinions about the party. Leaving in declined without closing so someone else can take another look. GeneralNotability (talk) 15:39, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I was actually pointed to the article by another user with the proper information needed for a check at the time. I don't remember the results, but as I gave two of them blocks as Recruitment/SPAs, the result was obviously negative. Given that, this can be an ANI issue now instead of a socking issue. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 12:41, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
