Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( originally filed under this user)

I was responding to a false positive report at EFN when I noticed that one of the sockpuppets created a page in the userspace of the other sockpuppet. The two share similar names.

That diff appears to contain a reference to User:Masum Ibn Musa/Header, which is a (non-existent) userspace page of the master. I find it quite odd that this sort of thing would happen accidentally, and the timing of the use of the accounts (the master stopped editing on 31 March, the first sock performed the majority of their edits in April and May before being blocked on 16 June, and the second sock started editing on 20 June).

Taken together, I suspect that there is some connection between the accounts. If these accounts are run by the same person, this would be block evasion, as the first sock was indeff'd for copyright-related issues at the time that the second sock began editing. I am requesting checkuser to evaluate the extent of technical connection between the master and the two socks. — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 01:47, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

 * I've blocked and  for extremely obvious sockpuppetry. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 01:57, 21 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Looks like impersonation of Masum Ibn Musa, not sockpuppetry by them. Closing and moving to Md Majedul Islam (Sonju). --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 20:41, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Concur. A sweep of the accounts Ingenuity blocked confirms your conclusion and found two more sleepers that I've blocked.  I did not check Masum Ibn Musa, only the two accounts already blocked. Courcelles (talk) 22:44, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
