Paprah only appeared a few days ago, has made only three edits- two of them edits to Women in Islam - basically reverts supporting Smatrah in an edit war.

It looks like either meat puppetry or sock puppetry to me. Master blocked for three days, and sock blocked indefinitely. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 14:41, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

This is a little complicated, as Asadul rasel has already been identified as the sockmaster. However, as far as I can tell, these were all socks generated after Smatrah received a two-week block back in November. The last of those (Truth is this) was blocked in mid-February, and Smatrah, who had been inactive since November reappeared very quickly to try to win a dispute that user:Truth is this had started on Women in Islam.

They've got some other interests in common, too, for example

Can you please clarify what is going on here? Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:24, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
 * First, it's obvious to me now that I should have blocked . Second, I agree with 's comment on the earlier SPI, we either have socks or meatpuppets here. A CU might be warranted but they do all seem connected, both through common interests and Pepperbeast. Doug Weller  talk 16:07, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Smatrah was blocked for sockpuppetry on 5 March. Shaziyah's account was created on 18 March and has been used to edit a couple of the same articles Smatrah focussed on-- Islam and domestic violence and Nikah halala. I'm not sure there's an absolute smoking gun in terms of diffs, but I did find this edit by Smatrah and this one by Shaziyah. Pepper Beast   (talk)  01:00, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
