Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

Recreation of Jaan Nissar Lone. It was previously created by someone in this sockfarm and then by TavadiaP. After the AfC was declined multiple times TavadiaP requested G7 at Draft:Jaan Nissar Lone and then Aamirsaahil recreated it under Jaan nissar lone. GSS (talk|c|em) 03:21, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thank you for clarifying Bbb23. Actually, I added user "Jaan Nissar Lone" after realising that user Aamirsaahil was registered the same day you performed the CU at KM SPI, but I wasn't sure whether Aamirsaahil was registered before or after the check was completed so, I apologise if I missed something. GSS (talk|c|em) 06:13, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Update: User Jaan Nisar Lone recreated Draft:Rani Hazarika which was earlier created by Aamirsaahil and the draft was deleted on author's request same as Draft:Jaan Nissar Lone which TavadiaP requested for deletion and Aamirsaahil recreated. Smells like meatpuppetry? GSS (talk|c|em) 14:11, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Bbb23: since they are not technically connected but behaviorally they seem to have an off-wiki connection especially when it comes to recreating each-other deleted articles so is it possible to reopen the case? Thank you. GSS (talk|c|em) 14:32, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If I had found TavadiaP and Jaan Nissar Lone to be related to Farooqahmadbhat at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kashmiri musician, I would have said so. This is not a criticism of GSS as I can easily understand how confusing all this is. Aamirsaahil, otoh, is  Confirmed, blocked and tagged. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:22, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The suspected sock was registered yesterday and recreated their deleted page Draft:Jaan Nissar Lone with almost the same material. GSS (talk|c|em) 15:04, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Bbb23: as CU confirmed it's JNL, but per this edit on their userpage, it doesn't sound like a good faith return. GSS (talk|c|em) 05:37, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Red X Unrelated. Jenifer Intiha is  Confirmed to Jaan Nissar Lone (talk · contribs · count). Jaan Nissar Lone was soft-blocked. In the confusing back-and-forth between this case and Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kashmiri musician, I don't believe I've found any other user to be operated by Jaan Nissar Lone. If that's correct, Jenifer Intiha is not a sock. I will leave this case in checked status, as opposed to closing it with no action, in case someone tells me I'm wrong.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:41, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Vanjagenije: Yes (see the Kashmiri musician archive). JNL is unrelated to anyone except Jenifer Intiha.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:57, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Given the close geolocations between JNL/Jenifer Intiha and previous Farooqahmadbhat socks, and taking into account the almost word-for-word recreation of (confirmed Farooqahmadbhat sock) Aamirsaahil's content by Jenifer Intiha, I'm happy enough to make the assessment that these accounts are sockpuppets, and have blocked both.

Recreation of Draft:Jaan Nissar Lone - the one revision already had a fully formatted infobox, suggesting it was pasted in, and the user's fifth edit ever was to WP:Refund, suggesting that the user is familiar with wikipedia. CheckUser requested to discover any sleepers. DannyS712 (talk) 21:05, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • An Italian mechanical engineer with German in their username where Jenifer Intiha (previous sock) completed her MBBS is interested in a topic related to India? Nah.. CU better know their location. GSS (talk|c|em) 04:08, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yet another recreation of their favourite articles Jaan Nissar Lone, Draft:Tanveer Ghazi and Draft:Rani Hazarika. Photojournalistbychoice was registered today and uploaded File:Jaan Nissar Lone.jpg and claimed "uploaded a photo I shot today at his event in Delhi", but in reality the image was published by the subject on their Facebook in June.

IRoyalYadav created Draft:Darshan Sankhala. Soon after they moved it into mainspace, a number of brand new accounts (the only-purpose) started editing the article in question. Here are more two accounts:

  1. User:Luciferx0007
  2. User:Kuchbhi 123

I moved this article from draft to mainspace on the basis of WP:ANYBIO and GNG. Just after moving, some random Wikipedia editors have been following my trail and making random edits. I do not know how to stop them. I am never involved in such activities nor promoting these kind of acts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IRoyalYadav (talk • contribs) 18:38, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Harmonicasound, created 30 Nov 2022, messed about with their talk page a bit on 30 Nov. Made a few more edits April - Sept for autoconfirm, mostly reverted as unhelpful. Five hours ago, adds "Jaan Nissar Lone" unsourced to music credit of a film. [1] Messes with their user and talk page a bit. Then recreates Jaan Nissar Lone at spammy Dr Jaan Nissar Lone, in one precocious dollop [2]. Wikishovel (talk) 22:46, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
