Xeyal has a history of creating promotional-sounding articles of Azerbaijani subjects. WTW7 has only edited in similar timeframes to Xeyal, but not at the exact same time, and has only made edits in support of Xeyal's edits after passing the 10-edit threshold for auto-confirmed rights. Examples include creating Draft:Shohrat Mammadov1, which was created after the original Draft:Shohrat Mammadov was draftified and voting Keep in Articles for deletion/Nariman Abbasov (created by Xeyal) within an hour of Xeyal's keep vote. Requesting a CU as both may be socks of User:EXParen, who was blocked for using multiple accounts and edited in similar areas and WTW7 has edited at least two pages created by EXParen (ex: Draft:Meleyke Esedova) GPL93 (talk) 15:05, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

FWIW, as was mentioned above, I've just confirmed  =  on Commons. The latter, at a minimum, is evading the block of the former. Эlcobbola talk 19:54, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

 * These accounts are ✅ to each other. They are also to the Wikiazeus socks mentioned above, but I can't be sure. ST47 (talk) 00:48, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

A string of users that seem to be interconnected with each other and more, with similar editing patterns.


 * Xeyal applied for Azerbaijani Wikipedia's admin role but oddly enough, Lavici responded to all enquiries related to him. Furthermore, in the link below, both accounts strenuously defended each other in the thread below


 * Both users threatened me with revanchism after I've said about checking their IPs and I wonder why there was a such sharp reaction after what I've said?


 * Both Xeyal and Lavici edited similar articles as you can see in this article's history []. Classic The duck test needed.


 * What's even bizarre this user named Onyeddi appeared out of nowhere and responded to my enquiry instead of Lavici.


 * Lavici edited Onyeddi's primary account here, which is very unusual as why a third party would edit your page without your consent?

 * Neither suspected sockpuppet has edited the English Wikipedia in several months, and Onyeddi is already blocked. The evidence presented in this SPI pertains to the Azerbaijani Wikipedia, not this one, and is out of scope here. Closing. Spicy (talk) 03:20, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
