Something fishy looks to be up with these accounts. The newest account,, created the drafts Draft:Al Imran Mahin and Draft:Masud Rana (Singer). For the oldest account,, their only edits are these two drafts. has only one edit, to Draft:Al Imran Mahin. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 21:48, 31 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Since I initially filed this report, has created Draft:Al Imran Mahin(Musical Artist); presumably because Draft:Al Imran Mahin was declined twice and rejected once. Pinging,  and  so that they're aware of situation. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:15, 1 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Just noticed in the logs for Draft:Al Imran Mahin that it had been deleted on 20 Nov 2021, and had been created by the now-blocked user . That account is older than the ones I initially listed. Should they be tagged as the sockmaster or is it too late/not worth it? --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:48, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

 * They're all ✅ to each other. I consider the attempts to submit recreations of rejected, presumably self-promotional drafts to be an inappropriate attempt to evade scrutiny, and this is soaking up too much of people's time - all three are indeffed.

 * CU puts that account in a different country. It's possible that it's one person who just moved, or that it's different people writing to the same brief - I couldn't say. I'd be happy to leave it as it as for now, thanks for checking though. Girth Summit  (blether)  15:04, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

This new account has created Draft:Masud rana which is substantially similar to a few of the previous versions at Draft:Masud Rana. They also overlap with User:Masudraba7576567 and User:Masudrana9772779 at Nazrul Islam Ritu. There are other new accounts editing at Nazrul as well so a CU might be useful to see if there are others. This user has a history of using multiple accounts at once. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 13:44, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

 * - Given the number of accounts uncovered by the last check, this probably worth checking for sleepers. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:34, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Noting that I blocked the sock given the obvious behavioural connection. Sorry, we must have looked at the same moment! firefly  ( t · c ) 15:39, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
