The list above only lets you add 20 items. So, here are the rest:







Evidence: All have promoted Aas Mohammad Khan Abbasi one way or another. This ranges from userpage drafts to now-deleted articles, to family member userpages with infoboxes linking to his userpage. There is plenty of cross-over with one account editing the userpage or article created by another.

He has also uploaded numerous images of himself at commons. All (or almost all) images and accounts have been deleted and blocked there. I've suggested a global lock at Commons admins' noticeboard.

All of his known accounts have been blocked here at English Wikipedia.

I am filing this for the record as this sockmaster is active and there may be more.

AASMOHAMMADABBASIACTOR is registered 05:18, 27 May 2014, the earliest in the group, and so is the current master. However, because of the occasional removal of spaces in the name and spelling variations, others may be found that are older. I'm still searching.

I just added Dr. Akram Ali Abbasi to the list above. It was discovered by INeverCry at during a commons CU. Cheers for that. Same userpage mentioning the master. Blocked by me just now. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:18, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

I just snuk one more in before archiving: DAas Mohamad Abbasi. Obviously the same. Consider it blocked. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:55, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

And one more: Aas Mohammad Ali khan. Just registered and just blocked minutes ago. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 03:48, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Here's the CU results from Commons. I found one account that's already blocked here, but not listed above, User:Dr. Akram Ali Abbasi which I've confirmed as a related sock.  INeverCry   01:59, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Thanks and Anna. Closing case, I don't think we need to tag then since this is spam. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 02:50, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Evidence is DUCK. These are all blocked here and at commons -- some maybe globally locked. Filing these en masse just for the record. Will accumulate and file more this way if this keeps going. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:16, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Evidence is DUCK and some CU from commons. These are all blocked here (with the exception of Bindass Bhai who only edited at simple and commons and is "not registered" at enwp, but globally locked), most blocked at commons, most now globally locked. All are filed at meta for global lock here. Filing these en masse just for the record. Will accumulate and file more this way if this keeps going. Considering DENY for future cases and to save resources. Thoughts on that? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 11:55, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Note that Ppslimited is the new master as earliest registered (05:42, 20 March 2014). Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:01, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Moved the case to the name of Ppslimited, the oldest account.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  12:18, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 * In the future, you don't need to tag this blatant spammer. Just Revert, block, ignore. Closing this case.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  12:24, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Anna blocked all the socks, and the sockmaster is also indefinitely blocked, so I think this can be closed. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:32, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Noticed user creating inappropriate pages, three of which mentioned the name "Abbasi". One page in particular, Nanai Lisda Atmali, turned out to be the name of a user previously blocked as a sockpuppet of Ppslimited (see ). That, and the similarity of the account name to some other socks (re-use of "Ahmad" and "Abbasi"), opens the question of this being another sock. Not sure whether to request CU.

Overwhelming evidence. Blocked along with User:Kumari Priyanka Singh by me just now. Search "In the future, you don't need to" at this SPI archive. I no longer template or file SPI. I just link to this SPI at user talk. Also, I have an edit filter to catch these. I check periodically and have missed none, as far as I can tell. I just hadn't checked for a couple of weeks and posted a holiday notice at my talk. Maybe that's why he used this opportunity to go wild. Sleeper check if you want, but again, the filter works fine. Sorry for the long post. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 18:45, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
