Both account was created when User:AssimAlHakeem got block. I found them following their edit trail. User:AssimAlHakeem uploaded c:File:Dr Sachin Kapur Stylish Picture.jpg on commons. On 21 August, User:ZamZam-WS created Sachin Kapur (Q108179917) and used c:File:Dr Sachin Kapur Stylish Picture.jpg. On 24 August, "User:Islamic Scholar Encyclopedia" created d:Q108208230 and used Sachin Kapur (Q108179917) item as "Property:P737 (influenced by)". Looks like they are promoting "Sachin Kapur". I am suspecting they are sock. please check them. They are active here on enwiki, as WP:BLOCKEVASION enwiki should block them. আফতাবুজ্জামান ( talk) 20:56, 24 August 2021 (UTC) reply

Account created purely to violate Wikipedia policy and to continue promoting Physics Wallah, who is an old favourite of the master. See Draft:PHYSICS WALLAH as well as this revealing edit, essentially admitting to being a sockpuppet of a blocked account. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 07:33, 28 August 2021 (UTC) reply

New account created straight after the previous sockpuppet was blocked. Creates the article at Mizanur Rahman (preacher) (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), previous sockpuppet was active at the draft version at Draft:Mizanur Rahman Azhari.

  • Interesting. @CU: On the cuwiki, you will find the "Wikipedia/bn/Dr Sachin Kapur Fanclub" page. When i was bnwiki's CU, i added that page. You can match the results with that. -- আফতাবুজ্জামান ( talk) 23:32, 13 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  •  Clerk endorsed - there's enough here to raise suspicions. Since cuwiki data exists, I think comparison to that would be helpful. Thanks, Spicy ( talk) 00:46, 15 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  •  In progress - -- RoySmith (talk) 13:04, 15 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  •  Unlikely. Other than geolocating to the same general area, the CU data mentioned by আফতাবুজ্জামান doesn't match. The behavior described here (updating biographical data on cinema performers) is endemic, so doesn't say much. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:12, 15 July 2022 (UTC) reply
    Hmm, "unlikely" might be a big excessive. Maybe more like  Possible, but it's still nebulous enough that I wouldn't give it any weight. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:19, 15 July 2022 (UTC) reply

Usmanmaifada has created Yasser Al-Dosari, which was previously created by another sock from this farm, Xpërt100. Usmanmaifada also shares with the other Dr Sachin Kapur Fanclub socks the habit of responding to UTP messages in a similar manner and broken English. The topics of interest are around religion and Saudi Arabia, although not exclusively. I realise this isn't much as evidence goes, but maybe worth a look? -- DoubleGrazing ( talk) 08:55, 25 April 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Since we have some info on cuwiki from a Bangladeshi colleague I ran a check to compare. Usmanmaifada is very  Unlikely, unless they've moved to a different continent. They regularly use two large ranges that are anonblocked because of the massive amount of spam coming from them (there is a /16 blocked for ten years; CUs probably know exactly what range I'm referring to) but they don't match with any other users or logged-out edits that I can see. However, on Yasser Al-Dosari (a page previously created by Xpërt100) they have added a block of text that Earwig shows has been reproduced in numerous places on the web, some CC and some not, and so far I can't get to the bottom of what the original source is, but it seems very likely that Usmanmaifada has reproduced it here from a promotional source that has been supplied to them; in other words, undisclosed paid editing. They've already received two uw-upe notices and haven't responded, that's not promising. Since it's fairly certain they're not a sock I'm going to close this, but will proceed with the next warning in that series. Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 14:04, 25 April 2023 (UTC) reply
    Thank you @ Ivanvector for your efforts here, and sorry to have led you on a chase of ducks which turned out to be mere wild geese. :) -- DoubleGrazing ( talk) 14:08, 25 April 2023 (UTC) reply
