These are active sockpuppets here on en.wiki from the French wiki sockpuppet investigation for Samirdu75. Many of these accounts are being used across multiple projects so we may want to consider requesting global locks.

Suspected sockpuppets
Username and edit history almost exclusively tied to Iznasen Berber. Filter log comparable to other sockpuppets (IZN1TEN/Beni-Iznasen/IZN1SEN/I3NASEN) Painting17 (talk) 22:56, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

The edit filter log of, shows that the user triggered an edit filter when changing the image name in this edit. While the user in question, that is, also triggers the same filter on that same very page in this edit and this edit. This user also changes the image and triggers the filter, as a new user changing a image. We can also look at the filter logs of the other sockpuppets of Samirdu75 that the user mentioned. again triggers that image change related edit filter on that same page in this edit, while again triggers that same edit filter on that same page in this and this edit. On a later edit, a confirmed sockpuppet of Samirdu75, triggers the same filter yet again, but in a different manner. In the edit he changes the image name of the map at Iznasen Berber. Also the behaviour is quite same to the other users, that is the user has a habit of changing the name of image and thus triggering the filter. We see that the same user triggers the image edit filter on Zenata, namely in this and this edit, that is he changes the name of the image name from "" to "". On the basis of these evidences, I think it could be possible that the IZN1TEN could be a sockpuppet of Samirdu75. ItcouldbepossibleTalk 14:12, 15 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Also there is a similarity in the username style as the filer says. For example, Iznassen49, Beni-Iznasen, IZN1SEN and I3NASEN all looks quite similar and all of them contain "sen" in the username. Another username is IZN1TEN, which is again like "sen", but instead if "s", there is a "t". Maybe, this is not a good evidence, but still thought to elaborate the point, if in case this can help reach a better judegement. With regards, ItcouldbepossibleTalk 14:49, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

 * And a couple of other stale but very obvious socks such as . The sockmaster typically edits the pages on Iznasen and Rif and uses usernames that are some variant of Iznasen. appears to be the same user on a very static IP.  - for a sleeper check on the named accounts, since the original check found many accounts, some of which were active cross-wiki.

 * Technically speaking, of these I am confident:
 * Of this, technically speaking, I am slightly less confident:
 * the IP range is fairly busy, so it's possible there may be sleepers that are, well, less on the nose... So, if more socks pop up, I suggest another sleeper check. Salvio 10:58, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
