Same obsession with the word "Shayan", targeting the same articles originally touched by sockmaster & co.:

Compare socks' edits with sockmaster's. Plus the edits of sock on Iran are similar to another sockmaster and their socks (Shayan777000/ShaynDiamond). e.g. compare with  Wario-Man (talk) 08:19, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Both are already blocked and they look like WP:DUCK of ShaynDiamond. Their edits on Persian alphabet are identical to ShaynDiamond and his socks'.. So would you please run a checkuser and tag them if they are new socks? Plus it seems ShaynDiamond has a sockfarm. The sockmaster creates accounts and always bypasses WP:AUTOCONFIRM. In this case, he waited for 4 days and enabled both accounts in 9 Jan. Both accounts were created in 5 Jan. His usually uses same pattern: 1) creating new accounts 2) waiting for 4 days 3) doing 10 edits to bypass autoconfirmed protection level 4) launching disruptive edits on targets.

Obviously the same, witness the moves of Kingdom of Prussia, and both accounts are blocked, but as they were both snoozing for 4 days, a sweep for sleepers seems relevant. There's also a good chance that this is a more senior troll at work, in which case there's a bonus for unearthing its identity. Favonian (talk) 19:47, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

Just like the sockmaster and his previous blocked sockpuppets, these new accounts add irrelevant script (Cyrillic) to Iran/Iranian related topics or make disruptive changes to article; e.g. adding Kyrgyzstan or Central Asia stuff to Iran/Iranian related topics. Compare these diffs: sock1, sock2 , sock3 , sock4. All of them look like WP:DUCK of sockmaster. Compare their edits with blocked socks. Wario-Man (talk) 18:45, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Same pattern as previous socks: editor waits four days after account creation, makes a couple of back-and-forth edits to get autoconfirmed status, and then straight jumps to Iran to vandalize the page.

Cf. e.g. by sock User:UnitedRecognitionSystem.

Obvious per WP:DUCK. Makes 10 test edits in four days after account creation until becoming autoconfirmed, and immediately vandalizes Iran by inserting the name of imperial Persian throne heir Reza Pahlevi in the infobox. Austronesier (talk) 23:34, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Per WP:DUCK, the same modus operandi as before: makes 10 test edits a couple of days after account creation until becoming autoconfirmed, and immediately starts editing Iran, first subtly, then with the usual disruption (cf. earlier sock ):
