I agree. . Posting on the talk page of a file is a new wrinkle.-- Auric    talk  21:42, 20 April 2014 (UTC)


 * It's depressing! Clearly this person is very confused and misguided. Unless someone can communicate with them in Persian and make them realize they -cannot- talk to Obama or Rouhani here and that they're being nothing but disruptive and annoying, I doubt that they will give up. Maybe. --Somchai Sun (talk) 13:03, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Obvious. Indeffed and tagged both accounts. I semi-protected the talk page at issue for one month. I don't like to protect article talk pages, but this one gets very little activity and none of it from non-autoconfirmed users except for the socks. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:19, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Cleaning up some old socks that have not been blocked. Similar usernames and same MO of past socks: long posts in Persian on talk pages. The IP is stale, but listing it just in case it comes in handy for a future investigation. TDL (talk) 18:31, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Quack! Similar name, and same walls of Persian text added to various articles. Going after Belgium this time (I don't remember if that's his usual target). ,, , Meters (talk) 03:05, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Added Naghmeheta, Naghmehp, Naghmehnmb, Naghmehpio, Naghmehtyu, Naghmehvbn, Naghmehvhi, Naghmesdf, and Naghmetui with the same sound of quacking. Meters (talk) 03:28, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I didn't add diffs for these users because every edit by every account is the characteristic wall of Persian. I now notice other obvious sock accounts I did not list, but he does not seem to go back to old, unblocked accounts. An IP was noted in one of the previous sock investigations. It might be useful to see if the various accounts are coming from the same or closely related IPs. Meters (talk) 19:17, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Yikes. - I think edits like these make a ban discussion a good idea. --Somchai Sun (talk) 10:59, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

I reported three other socks earlier this month with similar names (Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive854), but I didn't add them here as I couldn't remember the name of the master account. Targets were Spain, Argentina and Ukraine related articles-- Auric    talk  19:39, 30 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Could an edit filter be used to trap these? Aside from the language, the user names have a pattern. Ravensfire ( talk ) 20:40, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
All blocked and tagged. Only one of these accounts was created any bit recently. For this reason I'm not sure an edit filter is the best route, as we'd be taxing the whole system just for one person/group that don't seem to be that active. Nonetheless thank you for taking the time to compile this report! Closing &mdash;  MusikAnimal talk 15:48, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Same behavior of posting long walls of Persian text on talk pages. It looks like a duck to me Auric    talk  16:49, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Obvious WP:DUCK by comparing only edit to previous sock edits, and while the name doesn't follow exactly the same pattern as before, it is obviously in the same vein. ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  21:57, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
 * , I know an edit filter wasn't deemed a good suggestion last time, but there has to be a way to prevent these nearly-identical wall of texts instead of cleaning up after the fact... ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  21:57, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
