 * I personally don't see any abuse of multiple accounts, as the master has not been blocked prior to this incident. However, if/when the master is blocked, the other accounts should be blocked as well. I agree on the username behavioral evidence. Pillowfluffyhead (talk) 19:11, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
 * To me, the abuse is trying to get that autobiographical article created using various accounts. But it's not the typical sockpuppeting abuse. It's just disruptive.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 19:14, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Perhaps. If I were a checkuser, I would hardblock the user's IP address(es) so that they can't create any more accounts, indefinitely block the two sockpuppet accounts and temporarily block the master for disruptive editing, not necessarily for sockpuppetry since they haven't been blocked before.

User is indef'ed at commons as a sock of Saeedbozdar, which is a sock of Saeedkhanbozdar786 here. Username is also similar; recreating Bozdar Wada. -★- PlyrStar93. → Message me. ← 21:28, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Obvious sock on an xwiki spam campaign. See for example here. See also global contributions here. Although ost everything has been already deleted or I've nominated it for deletion, other than the drafts here, which obviously can go G5 when this is closed.

BalochFire and Princeshahcv both edited Bozdar Wada (which is also a popular subject of the sockmaster, in both editing and usernames) hours apart, as well as they have the same user page and writing style. After Princeshahcv stopped editing at 15:53 on September 26th, BalochFire started editing at 16:39 on the same day.

In regards to their relation to the sockpuppeteer, see Draft:Saeed Khan Bozdar and Saeed Khan Bozdar. They also used a source from masterradar.com that was published nearly immediately prior to them adding it into the article, which is the username of one of their socks.

 * Added Waderafly. These accounts are likely/confirmed on the Commons. (Local en.wiki evidence for Waderafly, FWIW: all edits are to sandbox article of Saeed Khan Bozdar - version prior to blanking.)  Эlcobbola  talk 16:43, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Behavioural evidence for Princeshahcv (probably meat rather than sock):
 * Commons: Recreation of thrice deleted commons:Saeed Khan Bozdar, the sole editors of which have been three Saeedkhanbozdar786 socks
 * Commons: Recreation of twice deleted commons:Category:Saeed Khan Bozdar, the sole editors of which have been two Saeedkhanbozdar786 socks
 * Commons: Upload of File:Saeed Khan Bozdar web developer.jpg, same subject taken from same social media sites as Saeedkhanbozdar786 socks
 * En.wiki/Commons: Same interest in Sindhi people/culture (Princeshahcv - ; socks - )
 * En.wiki: Same interest in Bozdar Wada (Princeshahcv - ; socks -, ) - indeed where Saeed Khan Bozdar purportedly went to high school
 * Wikidata: same relatively high participation on this relatively obscure project, same as socks (e.g.,, ). Эlcobbola  talk 17:31, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

 * - BalochFire and Waderafly are WP:DUCKs but I'm less certain about Princeshahcv. They have an identical userpage to BalochFire but don't seem to have any topic overlap except for some incidental edits to one article. Please check. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:03, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Princeshahcv is . The other two accounts are ✅, blocked, and tagged.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:00, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
 * made a good point that I had seen but forgot to mention: the three accounts all have nearly identical cross-wiki participation: they've all edited on Commons (and all have been blocked on Commons), plus they've all edited English, Simple English, and Wikidata. That's a lot for a genuinely new user to have accomplished in less than a month. With the technical result and all the behavioural similarities I'm taking a cue from Commons: Princeshahcv is . Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:29, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Sounds right to me. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:43, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh crap, I forgot to close, and I used two colons in one sentence. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 23:45, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
