All 4 of these accounts have created or significantly contributed (the copyvio) to Draft:Ayanda Thabethe/Ayanda Thabethe and each time it's been the same copyvio. Lord Anonymity and Rupango are also trying to force Lord J a spammy, potential hoax into mainspace. Praxidicae (talk) 12:11, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I suspect this is UPE for a number of reasons due to some xwiki edits. Praxidicae (talk) 12:28, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

A copy of an SPI relating to this sockpuppeteer, conducted at AN instead of here

 * Special:Permanentlink/896155908 was in effect a sockpuppet investigation performed at AN instead of here, and I refer to it in my report below, so for convenience of reference here is a copy of it. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:16, 9 May 2019 (UTC)


 * recreated Jonathan Wax from a redirect following the second quarantining of Draft:Jonathan Wax.
 * Ramniram tried to unquarantine this draft before, but it was moved back.
 * The first iteration of Draft:Jonathan Wax was written in mainspace by . I subsequently blocked this editor for UPE and quarantined the article. AfPEN petitioned me via email for the unsalting of Draft:Milan Kordestani using an email address that suggested UPE. I made an informal CU request for this account to, but don't know if it was followed up. Milan Kordestani and Draft:Milan Kordestani have deleted histories full of UPE socks.
 * There was a declined AFC submission by, also in the history of that draft.
 * moved CreditDigital to mainspace and significantly expanded it. CreditDigital was created by.
 * removed advert and notability tags from that article.
 * Rahuljia1, Ranajia1 and Rahulji are very similar usernames.
 * Ranajia1 and Ramniram have very similar userpages.

 * I am filing this report for two purposes: to place on record some more sockpuppets which have already been blocked, and to request a Checkuser for another account which may be another one.
 * Discussion relating to Nguyen Ngoc Cao Son (Cao Son Nguyen) and related matters took place at Special:Permanentlink/896155908 and Special:Permanentlink/896155908 (see above). Resulting from this discussion, the account Lord J Official, already identified as a sockpuppet of Nguyễn Ngọc Cao Sơnn (see above), was confirmed by a CheckUser as a sock puppet of Ramniram, as were Ranajia1 and Rahuljia1.
 * My awareness of this case comes from investigating the account BB3132. This is a largely promotional account, very likely an undisclosed paid editor, continuing promotional editing despite warnings. I considered blocking the account indefinitely, but settled on a short block as a warning. However, my investigations also led me to a web of connections to other accounts, including those that I have mentioned above. Ranajia1, Rahuljia1, & Ramniram edited Draft:CreditDigital (or CreditDigital: several of the pages involved have been moved around to different titles). BB3132 created a copy of that page at Credit Digital. It may be that BB3132 is another paid editor, and Credit Digital has switched to him or her after the other one was blocked, but it is also possible that BB3132 is yet another sock of the same paid editor as before, so I would be grateful for a checkuser.
 * In the course of my investigations I also saw several other accounts which could be related, but most of them are either blocked or haven't edited for some time, and the evidence didn't seem worth pursuing. However, it may be worth mentioning, a blocked undisclosed paid editor who extensively edited Draft:Jonathan Wax (formerly at Jonathan Wax) which was also edited by Ramniram and Rahuljia1, as mentioned in the section above.

 * All the accounts which were active have been blocked. The only unblocked account has never edited and is too stale for CU. Closing. Cabayi (talk) 14:01, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

DonnajBowman edited Draft:RLC Ventures, a draft created multiple times by this sockfarm (including blocked sock ). They also added File:Official logo of Dinratri.jpg, which was uploaded by Adiptokarmakar, to DinRatri.com, which was created by Adipto1997. This is sufficiently obvious to block and delete straight away but please look for sleepers given the history. MER-C 12:22, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Created DinRatri.com, edit summary is an exact match of previous versions. Username fits the pattern of some of the other socks. Perhaps comparing the full article with previous versions is enough, perhaps CU will be needed, not very familiar with this particular case, but a very suspicious resurrection from a long nap by this user.

 * The following accounts are related to each other:
 * Adipto1995 from earlier today is technically only to the group above (same geographical region, different devices and ISP), but in my view the behavioral evidence connecting RobertVoltaire to Adipto1995 is a clear WP:DUCK—see Special:Undelete/DinRatri.com. Mz7 (talk) 20:12, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * After review, I went ahead and blocked Rxchie, the only account that wasn't yet blocked, and tagged all of these as suspected socks. Closing. Mz7 (talk) 10:34, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

Created account, made 11 edits, waited four days, then created Shovon Chowdhury (Shooter). I don't remember the contents but looks like the same Shovon. Sandbox has a UPE mess for more experienced eyes. It has to be a sock of someone to game user rights like this, right?  Usedtobecool  TALK ✨ 11:42, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
