Edit warring on List of Presidents of Iran, admission at. Editing patterns, habits, etc. are all the same. All users have been blocked, but it's obvious that he's continued. a C/U will help block all of those socks, IP's, and any sleeper accounts.  D u s t i *poke* 20:02, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

 * The editing patterns of the actual socks themselves are the same. As in they all editon the same pages. Additionally, they have all beenblocked and already tagged as socks.  D u s t i *poke* 01:02, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I'd like to appeal your decision. By the socks themselves already being blocked and tagged as socks by sysops, that's enough evidence to do a CU to determine sleeper accounts and block them. All we're asking is for you to identify the additional accounts. We've established that there is one blatant and obvious sock. The editing pattern is shown by him immediately going to his COI pages, and thus the third account (which has already been blocked) can be linked, we've already established a case.

 * - . Editing on the same pages is not enough evidence from abuse - we simply don't have the manpower to research every case. You're gonna have to be more explicit here. Rschen7754 09:59, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Perhaps then you will need to ask the sysops who blocked for assistance, if you cannot make the case. --Rschen7754 20:50, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Personally, I'd just consider it a duck case, so maybe checkusering is not actually needed. All the accounts and IPs popped up in sequence, each of them immediately after the preceding one was blocked, and all picking up the edit wars exactly where the previous ones had left them. That the IPs are all the same editor seems obvious anyway; the only thing that conceivably might warrant checking is the second named account. In any case, from what I can see, they seem to have stopped now. Fut.Perf. ☼ 05:55, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Shows the exact same behaviour as indefinitely blocked user Tabarez and his previous socks: Uploads images with copyright problems and makes mass edits on Iranian football articles and political articles (including pure vandalism: diff). And is also edit-warring on List of Presidents of Iran, just like Tabarez and previous socks. Or in other words walks like a duck and quacks like a duck.

 * And soon after Fut.Perf. blocked Reza.Piri as a Tabarez sock an IP showed up, walking like a duck and quacking like a duck. So I suggest a range block. Thomas.W   talk to me  15:52, 4 August 2013 (UTC)


 * And one more IP. Seems a rangeblock, and a quick one, is the only way to stop him. Thomas.W   talk to me  19:21, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
 * And another very loudly quacking one. Could we please have someone look at this? Plus a rangeblock. Thomas.W   talk to me  20:46, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
 * And one more, just to show the extent of the socking. Thomas.W   talk to me  14:50, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I just added one more IP, loudly quacking too... There must be some way to finally stop this guy! --Sundostund (talk) 10:53, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Hello, when I look at the photo which was uploaded to an article, Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli, yesterday, I see it was uploaded by Tabarez2 but the editor who uploaded it to the article was the accused IP. It may also support your views. Egeymi (talk) 07:30, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
 * The same is true for Mohammad Javad Tondguyan. Uploads were on 2 and 3 August. Egeymi (talk) 08:36, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think it really shows a connection between his various socks. --Sundostund (talk) 10:58, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

 * I asked User:Kww about a range block, and this was his response. (The second paragraph of Kevin's comments are on a different subject.)--Bbb23 (talk) 23:38, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, it does look like a rangeblock would cause too much collateral damage. Also, from a quick glance, this looks to me like it belongs with Sockpuppet investigations/Amir.Hossein.7055. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 03:28, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Closing. Future Perfect has already blocked the other account as a sockpuppet. Reaper Eternal (talk) 19:41, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
