I honestly had no idea that the term was sockpuppetry. I edited from my laptop. Then I edited from my phone. I didn't know. Sorry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NerdyGenius1 (talk • contribs) 22:41, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

User recently created an article entitled Waleed Basyouni. I performed some clean up on the article and felt that, owing to the lack of reliable sources, the subject did not seem to have significant coverage. As a result, I added a speedy deletion notice. The speedy deletion notice was removed by NerdyGenius1 in this edit. I restored the speedy deletion notice and impressed on that he was not entitled to remove the notice. About 30 minutes later, an anonymous account removed the speedy deletion notice with this edit. I once again restored this notice. Then about 15 minutes later a new account is created (AnAccount528) which once again removed the notice and also readded some unsourced content that was originally added by. Here is the edit. The 3 accounts seem connected as it is too much of a coincidence that they all suddenly appeared to remove the same notice. Saheeh Info 22:13, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

The two named accounts are ✅. I blocked the master for two weeks, and blocked and tagged the puppet. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:54, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

NerdyGenius1 (abbreviated as NG for future) was, at least as far as 2022 is concerned, a SPA intent on adding as much material sympathetic to and the related  as possible. GreenishDragon (abbreviated as GD for future) is a simlar SPA that has appeared after NG was indefinitely blocked.


 * NG - but not for terrorism-related offenses
 * GD - although she was never convicted of terrorism added to the same sentence
 * NG - "and U.S authorities claiming"
 * GD - "with US authorities claiming" added to the same sentence using the exact same reference with, except for the exclusion of the archived link, the same formatting


 * NG - Added additional detail as per the advice of Iskandar323
 * NG - Added an additional detail about her trial
 * GD - Added an additional news report in a paragraph about news reports
 * GD - I added additional sources and details that can be found online but weren't included in this article, so I made a new section for a place where they would fit

Due to NG having made 130 edits to Aafia Siddiqui I'm not feeling inclined to do a comparison for that article too unless absolutely necessary. FDW777 (talk) 17:21, 30 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Also compare this by NF with this by GD. Both place their entire signature including the timestamp inside brackets, which I've never seen anyone else do (although a quick search for "))" shows that NG has done it 25 timues on Talk:Aafia Siddiqui, and is the only editor to do so apart from GD.

 * The technical data taken on its own is very ; coupled with editing interests and behavioural quirks, I'm content to call this ✅. No other accounts jumping out at me, closing.  Girth Summit  (blether)  17:28, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
