Both added the exact same flag and map at Rustamid dynasty. HistoryofIran (talk) 20:33, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @IP; There's a good chance that they have other accounts lying around, which is mainly why I am requesting a CheckUser. --HistoryofIran (talk) 20:24, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
Like Takiva, ⵜⴰⴽⵉⵖⴰ is obsessed with unsourced maps and flags, and the name "ⵜⴰⴽⵉⵖⴰ" is a translation of "Takiva". Additionally, ⵜⴰⴽⵉ was confirmed as a sockpuppet of Takiva on Wikimedia Commons.

Taki2006 on the other hand just appears to be a shortened version of "Takiva". This user is interested in the same topics which Takiva showed an interest in, and they persistently add unsourced Berber language text to article leads like Takiva did. Their account was confirmed as a sockpuppet of Takiva on Arabic Wikipedia.

Djaafar TAKI meanwhile shows the exact same behavior as the accounts above, such as adding unsourced flags like this to articles (notice how both sockpuppets edited the same file). Skitash (talk) 20:04, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Neither account has edited here for months, but if they are confirmed on other projects the accounts ought to be blocked here too - ✅, closing.  Girth Summit  (blether)  11:52, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Reported at AIV by User:Skitash; similar edits to Numidia as previously blocked sock User:Libernius.  Spencer T• C 17:16, 2 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Nd5eu2ur8b and Danju87 make very similar edits to Numidia, including trying to change the map in the infobox, adding more territories to the kingdom and adding unsourced Berber-language text (which is a specialty of Danju87/Libernius).
 * Both Nd5eu2ur8b and Taki2006 (another blocked SPA) added this same image to Template:History of Algeria, although I'm unsure whether there is a connection between the two.

 * @Vanjagenije This might be a sockpuppet of Taki2006 actually, as the two make the exact same changes on Wikimedia Commons. Taki2006 also makes very similar edits to the account on English Wikipedia. Nd5eu2ur8b has been confirmed as a sockpuppet of Taki2006 in Wikimedia commons.

 * - In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
 * 1) At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
 * 2) At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
 * 3) In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  00:32, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Moved the case here from Sockpuppet investigations/Danju87. I blocked Nd5eu2ur8b as a sock of Takiva. Closing.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  15:58, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
