Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

A new account that was create a week or so after the sockmaster was blocked. They came to my notice because they created Talk:Sakhawat Ali, asking why the article page was protected and they couldn't write an article there. The article page was created due to repeated attempts by Tawakhas to write an article on this individual. Sakhawat Ali was noted for having created a company, YourGuide, which Yusrashafiqjutt recreated at Draft:YourGuide. A deleted version of this draft was originally created by Sakhawatay which might have been an alternate account of Tawakhas (see diff). I don't know whether they are all (or some) are sockpuppets or if they are paid editors working on the same project. Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 23:06, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

 * I've updated the tags on and  to indicate that they are ✅ to the master. This new account is editing out of the same ranges - given the overlap in editing interests, I'm blocking and tagging as proven. I don't see any others that are definitely them, closing.

Two-week-old user Tuqwy19 moved Livestock Production Research Institute into the main space past AfC. Its edit history is shared by two earlier socks of Sakhawatay, Yusrashafiqjutt and Slowpokeeditor. All three edit articles on similar topics, and leave similar edit notes (incl. writing "its" instead of "it's"). Not conclusive evidence, I'll grant you, but seems ducky to me at least. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:53, 20 April 2023 (UTC)


 * PS: Looks like IP 39.59.0.92 may also be involved. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:09, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * PPS: May have found another: I requested speedy on YourGuide (another common interest of this farm; apparently a business set up by Sakhawat Ali), and new account Abeeha2455 (set up just now) came and removed the request. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:25, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
