 * Existing article:
 * Natoresi's draft:
 * MarkSmith's draft:

Both users are trying to create new articles about the same person with: — Tol  &#124; talk &#124; contribs 21:55, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
 * The same image cropped differently (see c:File:Md. Shafiqul Islam Shimul.jpg, c:File:Shafiqul Islam Shimul MP.jpg, c:File:Shimul MP.jpg);
 * Much more positive coverage than the existing article;
 * Almost the exact same content (see a diff between two of the drafts).


 * Hi, looking at the timeline of things happening, I disagree that this is simply a user who has lost access to their account:
 * 9 June 2021, 14:41: Natoresi.mp1976 creates account
 * 10 June 2021, 11:07: MarkSmith1430 creates account
 * 10 June 2021, 15:25: MarkSmith1430 makes their first edit
 * 13 June 2021, 15:08: MarkSmith1430 is blocked for 60h
 * 13 June 2021, 16:24: Natoresi.mp1976 makes their first edit
 * Natoresi.mp1976 showing up an hour after MarkSmith1430 was blocked looks like block evasion to me. – NJD-DE (talk) 09:39, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * A post-CU comment: I don't know exactly what our policies are regarding edits on another wiki, but there's c:User:MarkSmith143 (a different user) on Commons who has uploaded yet another resized version of the same image. It looks like another duck to me, but the account has no edits here. Tol  &#124; talk &#124; contribs 17:01, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Obviously the same person, one accounts stops editing and the other is created. However, I don't see anything nefarious, they may just have lost their account credentials and restarted from scratch. If anything, this looks more like a new user that doesn't understand what is happenning and does not (know to) engage more than Sockpuppetry. -- Luk  talk 07:45, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * . I don't see an overlap in edits. This could very well be the same person, but they are not in violation of policy. They could've lost their account password and created a new account to start over. I'm also going to close this SPI per the same reason...  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   11:44, 16 June 2021 (UTC) Per the overlap in editing during the listed sock account's block, there is a potential violation of policy in regards to block evasion.  ~Oshwah~  (talk)  (contribs)   12:26, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   12:26, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * , thanks for noticing the overlap. I must admit I'm disappointed. --  Luk  talk 21:12, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * For my convenience: GeneralNotability (talk) 19:55, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Tags fixed, blocked the other MarkSmith on the commons evidence (no edits here, but quite DUCKy). Closing. GeneralNotability (talk) 19:57, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

After the old master was blocked this account was created. The account created a more positive, which is more positive than the existing article, draft on Md. Shafiqul Islam Shimul similar to what the master and previous sock did. The new draft uses the same subheadings as the old draft that has been redirected/deleted. Please check the previous sockpuppet investigation for more information. Vinegarymass911 (talk) 03:49, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
