Suspected sockpuppets

Blocked user mostly edited Draft:ShariaPortfolio, an advertisement. Same draft was also recently edited by IP. User Thelostone41 admitted that the IP is him and edited same draft.

I suspect that the new Thelostone41 account is a block evasion by Nick3331. Thelostone41 does not seem to be a new user, even though the account has less than 200 edits. My very best wishes (talk) 13:07, 13 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Other probable socks are, and  who edited a page Manzil (company), which is related to ShariaPortfolio. See this edit by master account. My very best wishes (talk) 15:22, 13 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Just to notice that Thelostone41 filed an ANI complaint about this SPI request: . This and other complaints by same user, specifically about SPI requests, enforce my impression that Thelostone41 is not a new user and previously had other accounts. My very best wishes (talk) 16:23, 13 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Thelostone41 did admit that they worked for the ShariaPortfolio and therefore edited the page . But is it the same person as Nicky3331? I do not think there is enough behavioural evidence to prove it. My very best wishes (talk) 16:58, 13 May 2021 (UTC)


 * I did not do any behavior analysis prior to submitting this request. Now, after looking, I think that Nick3331 and Thelostone41 are two different persons (although from the same organization, so that WP:MEAT would apply). Based on their edits and sources used, Thelostone41 is a native speaker of Russian with relatively poor English language skills. Nick3331 seems to have much better English language skills. As about other accounts, this is hard to say because they have few edits, probably comparable English language skills, and it seems that some of their edits might be "prefabricated" by other people who work for these organizations. Overall, the editing by all these accounts (including the self-admitted IP by Thelostone41 but not the Thelostone41 account itself), seem to follow WP:COI pattern.

I filed an ANI complaint as my wiki colleague MVBW accused me yesterday of being another sock puppet. Also MVBW told me about the Reliable sources/Noticeboard https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Joachim_Hoffmann&diff=1022887367&oldid=1022862590 that is how I found the Administrators' noticeboard.Thelostone41 (talk) 16:39, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

 * See Special:PermaLink/1022819634 where Thelostone was already checked against another master. Primefac (talk) 16:04, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * . The master and are too  and no data is available. The remaining four accounts don't appear to have any crossover, and I don't believe that I have enough evidence to perform a check here. This will need a behavioral investigation...  ~Oshwah~  (talk)  (contribs)   16:38, 13 May 2021 (UTC)


 * The two Thelostone41's are declared to be legitimate alternate accounts. M7mdm3tz, M7mmmd, and Mohamad.Sawwaf are all obviously the same person because of username similarity and this log entry but I'm not seeing any obvious WP:ILLEGIT behavior and none of them have edited in several months.  I've left uw-agf-sock and I'll leave that there.  Also,  writes I did not do any behavior analysis prior to submitting this request.  Well, um, you really should do that before opening a report.  If there's new evidence of socking, please open a new report, but you'll need to include more specific evidence, including diffs which demonstrate the connection.  Closing with no action taken other than the aforementioned uw-agf-sock. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:12, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
