I blocked Thetruthexposed879 for copyright violation. I then blocked Understandingthetruth as an obvious sock. All 3 editors have been editing and  - both created by Thetruthexposed879, the two socks editing only those articles until the newest created a new article a few minutes ago. If you look at the edit summaries in the history of the two articles and ignore the usernames, there is an obvious similarity in wording. Dougweller (talk) 16:23, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

All of these socks use "Adding" very frequently in their edit summaries. Fantasticfour111's edit here restored old text added by another sock. Thelegendfound recreated World Islamic Mint under the title World Islamic Mint (WIM), an article originally created by the puppetmaster, then deleted by me for copyvio, and then recreated by User:Understandingthetruth who is another and now blocked sock. Fantasticfour also created Humaira Shahid who is the spouse of Sheikh Umar Vadillo and article created by the puppetmaster and heavily edited by the now blocked socks.

Thebeautiful123 has aimilar type of name, recreation of Sheikh Umar Vadillo as Umar Ibrahim Vadillo. I'd like a CU as I think and  are socks of someone and their edits are similar to those by Thebeautiful123 at Tariq Jameel. See also Anywhereare's edit here. Puppetmaster has created multiple socks so this isn't surprising. Dougweller (talk) 10:56, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

has been adding Umar Ibrahim Vadillo or linking his name to various other articles. Note I've deleted it as a recreation of an article already deleted at AfD.

Thesunshine879 has created Humaira Awais Shahid, Vadillo's spouse. The IP added brackets to his name at that article. That's a recreation of Humaira Shahid created by another sock, Fantasticfour111.

Adding brackets to the same name: Thetruthexposed879 Anywhereare

 * Thebeautiful123 is ✅ with Anywhereare. The rest of the listed accounts except the archive are all within a northeast part of a smaller country, within 4 hours drive diamiter of each other. Thebeautiful123 also edits from an additional neighboring country in which they are a few hours from the archive. None of the technical details (aka UA) match except with what I confirmed. I do not particularily trust the geolocation of these two countries. -- DQ   (ʞlɐʇ)  18:51, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I think with the behavior evidence presented and the reasonably close proximity of the accounts it's fair to conclude that they are related. I've blocked TonyToreto and Anywhereare. (Dougweller has addressed the other two accounts already.) Mike V  •  Talk  15:26, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Recreated Humaira Awais Shahid and World Islamic Mint. The Shahid article includes wording identical to the earlier version created by User:Thesunshine879, I hope recently enough to allow a CU. Dougweller (talk) 13:32, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
