28 August 2022 edit

Rationale, discussion and results edit

Reason: Bovlb has blocked master and first possible sock for socking, seemingly for common interest in Ashraf Malik and relatives. Master and both second and third possible socks have shown interest in Sonzal Publishers and show some more similarities in edit patterns. Final possible sock has common edit history on Q113456507 with DBplus and DBloader. Lymantria (talk) 11:45, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Lymantria: It's a little complicated, but you've found a good fishtank nonetheless. From a technical point of view. --Sotiale (talk) 12:15, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Probably, it is the user who mainly spam enwiki and satwiki, including this wikidatawiki. Further investigation is needed, but this is the only note left. --Sotiale (talk) 12:24, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Via "Abhishek S Chauhan", (Q113543632, Q112999015, Q112269747, Q113320751, Q112269766), I see a link to User:Godsmarket who is apparently a sock of User:Busybee1812, which case has now been merged with Wikidata:Requests for checkuser/Case/2timilex. Bovlb (talk) 17:01, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Some more for "Md Ashraf Malik". I already blocked them all.

First of all, it may have been some time since their last contribution, but they don't have any hidden accounts in their ranges. They created items similar to the users in this case, but most likely other users. This is the case when another user has posted the same spam content; when there are multiple companies or workers in one spam content. --Sotiale (talk) 12:39, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Another one for "Suresh Mansharamani". I already blocked them.
