Riyyan Farooq was indef blocked for repeatedly creating copyvio articles, mainly at Suhrawardy family, and making up excuses about them. See Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1054. Now, User:Noahthemessiah has created the same article, again as a copyright violation. They have further overlap with Riyyan Farooq in e.g. the article Saleem Farook. User:Narniazepacha66 also has extremely close editing matches to Riyyan Farooq, e.g. at Ibrahim Suhrawardy which Farooq edited three minutes after Narniazepacha66 created it. All three also edited Afzal-ul Amin and Begum Badar un nissa Akhtar. The IP address I listed added excuses for the current copyvio of Talk:Suhrawardy family and also edited Talk:Afzal-ul Amin.

I have now added User:JesusChristYoSaviour as a brand new editor jumping it at Suhrawardy family and claiming to having made a talk page statement (which would mean that they are the IP address I listed). Fram (talk) 11:10, 11 January 2021 (UTC) The IP address is mine, wikipedia asked me to create an id and i did. And no, i do not know Riyyan Farooq personally, I and Narniazepacha66 are cousins ! what are you trying to prove here ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JesusChristYoSaviour (talk • contribs) 11:30, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

 * . They're all in the same (very wide) range, but their user agents are all different. This will need behavioral investigation. .  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   02:53, 12 January 2021 (UTC)


 * hmm...
 * Noahthemessiah recreated Suhrawardy family almost word-for-word identical, so that's pretty ducky.
 * I think JesusChristYoSaviour is a sock or meatpuppet as well, removing the G12 tag from Suhrawardy family.
 * Looking at Narniazepacha66, their interaction with Farooq looks more like collaboration than sockpuppetry (33 seconds between edits in one case), so I'm leaving them alone.
 * Leaving the IP - if memory serves, that's an ISP with fairly dynamic ranges and I don't see any other activity on the /64, so it's probably not worth the block.
 * Noah, Farooq, and JCYS. Closing. GeneralNotability (talk) 02:16, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
