Per WP:DUCK writing about the same topic and going as far as to Edit Samiwic's sandbox. Also Identifies as Sami Waheed Chwdhury. Update A CU may be necessary as it appears that this editor has used a deeper web of socks than I had originally realized and the original blocked editor appears to have been User:Sami Waahid.

 * I concur. – could an admin clerk please merge this into Sockpuppet investigations/Sami Waahid? On a sidenote,  It's often best to just add the other accounts to one existing case (even if it's filed under the wrong master) so that we can just move it instead of merging.

 * Just realised that there's overlapping history; I'll go with a cut and paste merge instead. --Blablubbs&#124;talk 12:11, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

Per WP:DUCK and reasoning at Sockpuppet investigations/Samiwc, which should probably be folded into this SPI. Editing the exact same areas, including the sandboxes of blocked socks. GPL93 (talk) 11:48, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Yep, the sandbox editing is certainly indicative. কাপ্তান is also editing the sandbox of the long-stale . : Please compare কাপ্তান to from the other SPI and look for sleepers – this seems to be a long-running (and cross-wiki) socking operation.  Blablubbs&#124;talk 15:01, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ = . No sleepers for now.  has been  for a while, CU won't yield anything useful. - Mailer Diablo 00:41, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Tagged all,, closing. Blablubbs&#124;talk 06:54, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment While the draft is somewhat different, I'd say that Ahmedafifkhan making their first edit since April 10, 2020 only several hours after the most recent sock, User:কাপ্তান, was blocked on May 1 also points to the fact that something is blatantly up. Since coming that year+ hiatus, Ahmedafifkhan has only made edits about Abdul Waheed Chowdhury. Best, GPL93 (talk) 20:37, 18 May 2021 (UTC)


 * @User:GPL93 this is a VERY VERY wrong identification. I am in no way connected to those accounts that you have blocked. I was reading some pages related to East Bengal Regiment where the name of this Major surfaced. There is a bengali wiki on his bio but no english page. I decided to create a page. That's simply it. This is not sock puppetry.
 * I think this is a very wrong identification. I am a newbie. It's very unfortunate that I've been caught in such a crossfire. If you need any information to verify please let me know. Afif 07:26, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Requesting checkuser assistance: This is unusual for multiple reasons: The draft's similarity to the deleted revisions at Draft:Major Abdul Waheed Chowdhury is lower than I'd expect it to be for a quick DUCK block, and the account is older than its alleged master. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:42, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * . They geolocate to the same location, but their ranges and user agents are different. That's all I can really give you, unfortunately...  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   23:54, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm seeing significant differences in editing style. The timings and editing interests do raise the eyebrows rather, and I can't rule out the possibility that there might be some kind of coordination going on, but I doubt whether this is the same person. There is no on-going disruption that I can see, so closing without action.  Girth Summit  (blether)  10:09, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
