Same editing pattern.. Masterpha was adding sensitive information to pages and citing FB as a source as can be seen here. Despite warnings to not cite FB, he continued with edit warring so I reported him at Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring and he was blocked for edit warring.. On the same day, a new account (Hussain.r97) appears and add the same material using the same FB as a source as can be seen here, and here. Saqib (talk) 15:52, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

The reporter claims that I created User: Hussain.r97 as a sockpuppet to continue my edits as me and him both supported the inclusion of the FB poll inside the article, and implies that the user was created for the specific purpose of countering my block. Firstly, the user had his first edit here, at 21:22 GMT on 27 February 2018, and his most recent edit was here at 21:45 GMT on 27 February 2018. Now, my block commenced on 01:18 GMT on 28 February 2018, so there is no evidence that this account was created by me, nor is there any evidence that the account was used to counter my block. As well as this, User: Hussain.r97 had an edit worth 354 bytes at 21:41 on 27 February 2018 here. On 21:42 on 27 February 2018, I made a substantially larger edit worth 4,595 bytes here. This indicates that we were both editing at around the same time. If we were both editing at the same time, how can we be the same person? It is impossible, and therefore I come to the conclusion that User: Hussain.r97 is not an account that I made, nor is it a sockpuppet that I created in order to counter my block.

there's something going on here (see also the range 139.147.210.0/24) but with the CheckUser result I'm at a dead end. Watchlisting and closing. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 11:42, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
