 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by cab (talk)

Khairbakhsh and 59.103.164.154 (IP owned by a Pakistani ISP ptcl.net.pk) were blocked for spamming a blog http://inshamarri.wordpress.com/ onto Brahui language (note the name of the blog and its operator), inappropriately placing warning templates onto my user talk page, and finally making obscene edits to my userpage.

Almost immediately after Khairbakhsh was blocked (08:00), Marrigreat, an older account, showed up and continued vandalising my userpage with similar obscene comments again. He also blanked the block warnings off the talk page of 59.103.164.154. cab (talk) 08:50, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Several hours later, he comes back with a different IP address from the same ISP, restores Khairbakhsh's warnings on my page and the link to the blog on Brahui language, writes some insulting comments with his own signature , and then uses a new account  to agree with his own comments. Idiot world then also goes and makes edits to my user page. cab (talk) 14:59, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

And another attempt at inserting those warning templates on my talk page by 59.103.164.192 (also the same ISP, Pakistan Telecommunications). cab (talk) 20:05, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Here's one from a while ago: 203.130.7.10 (also belonging to a Pakistani ISP super.net.pk) inserted a link to a Helium.com article ("high-rated articles receive more page views and earn more money for writers") on mutual fund, in January, and then a few days later Marrigreat reverted its removal ; the Helium.com article was written by an author identifying himself as "Khair Bakhsh". cab (talk) 01:54, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Not much I can do about the accounts as they're both blocked. I have rangeblocked 59.103.164.0/24 for one week to see if that solves the IP hopping issue. Peter Symonds ( talk ) 16:34, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Reinserting spam links to Khairbakhsh's Helium.com articles on mutual fund. Same Pakistani ISP as one of the IPs previously used by the puppetmaster (the last one in the earlier sockpuppet report). cab (talk) 14:32, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
