 * Most of this looks pretty straight-forward, but there's one mystery. was blocked for socking, but there's no indication of who they were a sock of.  There's a note in Moragheb's block citing OTRS ticket 2010042610030661.  Could somebody with OTRS access take a look at that and see if there's anything that would be useful to this case (within the confines of OTRS privacy, of course). -- RoySmith (talk) 16:16, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
 * It's just some discussion of problematic edits to Martin Fletcher, including by Remensum, . It looks like the OTRS agent who was involved suspected Remensum of being a sock, but there's not much else to go by. Cordless Larry (talk) 16:35, 24 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Much of the evidence I looked at has been WP:REVDEL'd so I'm going to be a little cagey in my explanation here. There's no doubt Shahrvaraz, Remensum, and Moragheb are the same person.  So, I've blocked Shahrvaraz and back-filled a bunch of missing tags.


 * There's also no doubt that Darayahush is the same person as the two IPs (which also happen to geolocate to the same location). I'm less convinced that Darayahush is the same person as the Moragheb group.  There's a 10 year gap.  That's a long time, but this is the kind of stuff that people latch onto and never let go.  There's enough difference in what was written, however, that I can't really tell if this is the same person, or just another person who has bought into the same conspiracy theory.  I'm going to just drop a uw-login on Darayahush's talk page.  They haven't edited in a couple of months, so I don't see any urgency to blocking.  We can always come back here at some point in the future if needed. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:16, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
