Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

 Looks like a duck to me

1-Similar way of writing edit summaries (you can check all of their other edit summaries they are all similar):


2-Similar way of writing comments:

3-Similar editing areas and POV:

4- Both edit in Quran verses interpretations

5- You can also see that they both have similar interests:

  • Farewell pilgrimage: Speedrailsm [18] Koreangauteng [19]
  • Again Quran verses 5:32-33-51 [20]

Both editors also have interests in Australia, Koreangauten's first edit was this SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 16:08, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Other accounts that are also very similar to him are:

  • Nick-D, why without a tag? I need to nominate an article this editor has created per G5. I also think that the tag will make it easier for other editors to identify him in the future.--SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 09:17, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Blocked without tags This is clearly the same person as was behind the Speedrailsm account per the very good report above, my checks of their edits and the complaints they've been receiving on their talk page. The person has an anti-Islam agenda, is engaging in poor editing practices and has links to Australia. As noted above, there are also clear similarities in areas of interest and the contents of edits. A checkuser run ( CheckUser requested) for any other accounts being operated by the same person would be helpful, as they keep coming back and do a lot of damage when they do - given their previous conduct its possible there are other accounts.

  • For the sake of transparency, I'd note that I've also just blocked BruceSpider (talk · contribs) and Karpes (talk · contribs) (neither of which has been used since about 2015) to prevent these accounts being reactivated given that they were operated by the same person. Nick-D (talk) 08:43, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • @SharabSalam: In all seriousness, it's because the history of socking here is so long that I'm not sure who to tag this as being a sock of! From memory, this person was active under a bunch of other accounts earlier in the 2010s and one of them is technically the sockmaster. Grateful if an SPI clerk or checkuser could advise of how this should be handled. Any edits made from this account have been made in evasion of a block, and can be treated accordingly.

      • I've now tagged the accounts I've blocked. Many thanks Yunshui. Nick-D (talk) 11:39, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@SharabSalam: well spotted - I've blocked Uppp3673 (talk · contribs). From memory, there were a bunch of other similar accounts. Nick-D (talk) 09:50, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • I've also blocked Sam56mas (talk · contribs) as being the same person. From checking article histories, it looks like the other accounts I was thinking of was editing from IP accounts. Nick-D (talk) 09:59, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As it appears that WP:3STRIKES is met, I've also marked the Speedrailsm account as being banned. [21]. Nick-D (talk) 09:47, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

CU shows up the following accounts as being  Confirmed matches to Koreangauteng:

Both blocked and tagged. Yunshui  10:40, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Clerk note: @Nick-D: It looks like Sam56mas is the new master. Before I go ahead and rename the case and retag everybody, could somebody double-check that I've got that right. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:45, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retagging everybody to Sam56mas (the new master). B20097 and NationalLitchfield were confirmed to Koreangauteng, but not to Sam56mas, so I'm just calling everybody suspected. Closing. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:24, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
