AFS was blocked on 24 February for edit warring to remove AFD templates from articles they created. Within a day, the suspected sock shows up, and removed AFD or copyright templates from the following: Asian Sambo Championships, Asia Masters Athletics Championships, Asian Zurkhaneh Sports Championship, and Asian Armwrestling Championship. They have also overlapped on articles such as: Asian Wrestling Championships, World Wrestling Championships, Asian Athletics Association, plus several others. I am requesting an indef for the master because this is disruptive behavior and block evasion. GAB Hello! 15:50, 25 February 2016 (UTC) reply

(Wikibreak violation): I remember this guy well. Requesting CU to find sleeper accounts, because the first one found a number of accounts working quietly in the shadows. It's been a while since he's popped up, and the wide array of sports articles he works on means that any number of socks could be active without us detecting him.

Suspected sockpuppets

I know a new editor when I see one, and this is... most certainly not a new editor. See their article, 2016 Futsal Intercontinental Cup; very few newbies could really create tables like this, for example. The previous socks loved creating complex tables: [5] [6] [7] [8]. There is also a futsal similarity, since previous socks include Futsaljapan ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), Futsal-mundial ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), and AllFutsal ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). Other socks have edited on futsal: [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]. I believe CU is necessary with this particular master, as past checks have discovered socks quietly working in their namespace, drawing little attention to themselves. GAB gab 00:15, 28 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Adding another sock:
  • Sports-related name, just like many other socks.
  • Similar edits as another CU-confirmed sock: [14]/ [15], [16]/ [17]. I'll see if I can find some more! GAB gab 00:45, 28 June 2016 (UTC) reply
    • Yep, I found another. More of the same edits as other confirmed socks: [18]/ [19], [20]/ [21]. Nothing like some hardcore sockhunting after a long day at the office. GAB gab 00:52, 28 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Obviously same as previous sock User:Uero2034 that wanted to add top4 to articles with "list of X finals". For example at List of European Cup and UEFA Champions League finals losing semifinalists was added by Uero2034 ( [26]) and this new editor did the same ( [27]) and looking at User:Championhero96/sandbox it is obvious what their goal is.

Similar usernames to socks such as Euroleage20, Usopen705, or Futsaljapan (country names and/or numbers), also editing in the same subject area - focusing on Asian athletics tournaments, with a characteristically high-speed editing rate. Extremely typical use of tables: [28], [29], [30]. Also creating elaborate tables in their sandbox, as done by many, many other fellow socks; they even blanked the sandbox, which is also typical. English is not their first language, it seems. They also seem to be complaining about a " malicious user," just like other socks did about whoever dealt with them. Comparing the speaking styles, this user sounds very similar:

(Montell 74's talkpage has been frequented by previous socks.)

Checkuser is necessary for this master because of a history of sleepers. Thank you! GAB gab 17:09, 3 August 2016 (UTC) reply

I think we're due for another sock onslaught. This new user is reinstating the old sock's edits - sample: [38] [39] [40] [41] [42]. After his previous sock and sleeper were blocked, he blew up and created at least another account, so I suspect that he's already made more today. Pinging Bbb23...

@ Swimmiggold: I've moved your comments for better visibility - the main reason for you being blocked is your use of multiple accounts and past disruptive editing. To get unblocked, you will need to prove that you understand why this is a problem and are now committed to constructive editing using just one account. You are not helping yourself by constantly creating new accounts, as these will be automatically blocked and all your edits reversed even where the edits may be constructive (as seen above). Thanks.

  • Pink clock Awaiting administrative action - Please block the sock; also, given the history of sleepers, please consider placing a CU request for a sleeper check (I will endorse if you do). Thanks, GAB gab 20:47, 31 December 2016 (UTC) reply
    • @ GeneralizationsAreBad: If a sleeper CU is on the table, it should be made before an admin evaluates the evidence fully to determine whether to block or not. Might as well have that extra evidence or lack of evidence when making the determination of sockpuppetry. If you believe a sleeper check is a good idea, you're able to make the request and self-endorse. ~ Rob13 Talk 23:39, 31 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Suspected sockpuppets

Really a WP:DUCK for anyone familiar with this (extensive) case. Exact same interest in obscure international sports competitions, particularly Asian ones (see Asian Athletics Championships, World Indoor Archery Championships, IBSA World Championships and Games, Asian Youth Athletics Championships, etc.), same obsession with medals, same extensive editing in sandbox, similar idiosyncratic speech patterns ( [43] [44] [45]), similar style of username.

Vandalizes sports-related articles in the same fashion, adding multiple copies of navboxes and other templates to them. dalahäst ( let's talk!) 12:48, 17 September 2017 (UTC) reply

Quack. Restoring edits made by previously blocked socks. Compare [46] with [47] and [48] for example. All of the many other edits are similar restorations of recent edits by known socks. Meters ( talk) 09:46, 3 December 2017 (UTC) reply

Dumped loads of text in Persian on User talk:Saeedparva and User talk:Mohsen1248 just like previous socks. I now second (and formalize) Meters' request for CU made in the very recent case just above this one. The puppeteer is definitely on a roll. Favonian ( talk) 11:28, 3 December 2017 (UTC) reply

I reverted the edits made by this account as they seemed to match those made by previous (now confirmed) sockpuppets. The account has already been blocked per my report to AIV. I am unsure of what their edit summary's means but they seem to be claiming that some "master and socks are unrelated". A check is warranted here I think.

I just ran a check a little bit ago and noticed this account, which had already been blocked. I didn't bother reporting it as confirmed. If a clerk wants to tag it, fine. Either way, closing.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 15:01, 3 December 2017 (UTC) reply

Hitting all the usual Asian and world sporting events pages. Same use of sandbox, elaborate tables, posting on talkpages of articles and certain users (with typical idiosyncracies), etc. GAB gab 18:43, 19 December 2017 (UTC) reply
