[edit]I have blocked this account for what appears to be obvious sock puppetry, seeing the creation of this account immediately after the last one was blocked, the recreation of the deleted page, and a similar area of interest.

[edit]RecreatedDraft:Battle of Khorramabad that was previously created (and recently deleted) by the sockUser:Iranshahriat. Also recreatedDraft:Battle of Ancedan, another draft that was created by that sock. Account was created 12 days after that sock was blocked. I think if it was one that could be a coincidence, but two is kind of obvious.Sophisticatedevening🍷(talk)18:41, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- @PhilKnight: Actually it appears that theDraft:Battle of Ancedan was recreated byAhmadzeenee and was submitted byShinwarzai. Ahmadzeenee's account was created today and their only edit was creating that draft.Sophisticatedevening🍷(talk)18:54, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk assistance requested: - Actually, I'm willing to take the above user's story into account here based on prior data. I think I'd suggest splitting out the Yasin line into its own SPI. That's the two 26 April 2025 and 30 April 2025 entries in the archive, as well as the two cases that are presently unarchived, and retag these socks (if you want, Yasin as suspected to Jaspreetsingh6, but currently the data doesn't support it all that much).Izno (talk)22:58, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

- Also in regards toDraft:Battle of Herat (1719), Turkozai requested its undeletion, see[5].Bobby Cohn 🍁 (talk)16:44, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Adding Pshtun because Turkozai createdTemplate:Campaigns of Mahmud Hotak with a redlink toSiege of Kerman (1720) (previously G5'ed by @Izno) which has recently been created atDraft:Siege of Kerman (1720) by Pshtun here[6].Bobby Cohn 🍁 (talk)16:48, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Adding also Zargha7 (created two days ago) following the creation[7] ofDraft:Kandahar Rebellion (1709) and then it's moving to mainspace[8] by Ottomanist.Turk. I can keep doing this all day.Bobby Cohn 🍁 (talk)18:39, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]Of the articles created and editing styles:
- RecreatedSiege of Kerman (1720) which is listed throughout the archived case page.
- CreatedCapture of Qazvin which is the same as the now deletedConquest of Qazvin from previous socks.
- Lots of edits to template namespace as a new editor where they list the created articles, same as previous activity.

- I've removed a duplicate from the previous CU, I keep getting tripped up because I think the sock is focusing on the same article that was created by the other user as a springboard for their edits.

[edit]New socks created after block of last sockIranian.Shah. Contributions and interest in creating pages in same areas are similar.Special:Contributions/Iranian.ShahSpecial:Contributions/Eastern_aryanicSpecial:Contributions/NewHistory101Special:Contributions/Amankhan4.
This diff is good lead, Iranian.shah addedBattle of Behgy (1766) in a template and new sock Eastern aryanic also did the same on another templatehere andcreated pageBattle of Behgy (1766).
Iranian.shah created page "Battle of Amritsar" or "Sack of Amritsar" (pages deleted by admins as created by sock account) that had identical edit onBattle of Behgy (1766), that said "The Sikhs under Charat Singh brought a force of 20,000 men near Lahore, resulting in Ahmad Shah bringing his own host of 50,000 in response and dispatching Jahan Khan toward Amritsar, forcing the Sikhs to withdraw."RangersRus (talk)14:45, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]- Eastern aryanic is
Confirmed to Iranian.Shah.
Blocked and tagged.
CheckUser declined with respect to NewHistory101 and Amankhan4 because no evidence has been provided for those accounts, and they did not come up in my checks of Eastern aryanic and Iranian.Shah. (The only overlap is between Amankhan4 and Eastern aryanic onBattle of Jamrud, where Eastern aryanicreverted an edit made by Amankhan4.) Closing with no action against those two accounts due to insufficient evidence at this time. They can be re-reported here if additional evidence comes to light.Mz7 (talk)06:28, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply] - RangersRus, reminder to dropWP:CT/SA warnings as Indian military history is now underWP:ECR.asilvering (talk)09:29, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]I noticed while working at Copypatrol that both of these users had created pages on Indian milhist in the last few days through unattributed copy-pasting fromAhmad Shah Durrani.
Inthis edit, TurkishBaron drew attention on another user's talk page toBattle on the Sutlej, a page created by Sherekhalsa.
Sherekhalsa has alsoadded articles created by TurkishBaron toTemplate:Campaignbox Afghan-Sikh Wars and hascommented on the talk page of another of TurkishBaron’s articles shortly after its creation.MCE89 (talk)13:07, 9 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I want that the Articles i publishedSack of Sirhind was my own work, but slightly inspiration from the Article fromAhmad Shah Durrani in the background section. In theAhmad shahs turkestan expedition it is noted it is heavily influence from the pageAhmad Shah Durrani and in the talk page. And in the topic of this guy sherekhalsa, he made an article where the results are diffrent from a known user Noorullah21, and i sent him a message about to correct it, but when i did more research I found thatBattle on the sutlejis compleatly copied from this website and not only that the battle was also previously made by a sockpuppet. I have noticed that this user is alsointerfiering with my article for example her with insulting afghans.— Precedingunsigned comment added byTurkishBaron (talk •contribs)14:17, 9 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There are some very strange things going on here, just look at these examples:[11][12] another sock master,Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/MHD1234567890, requests the unblocking on September 7th, then immediately after TurkishBaron is blocked, they writes the same things MHD wrote.Kajmer05 (talk)21:30, 9 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- @CactusWriter This is very similar toWikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Yasin1747, another sock master who focuses on the same topics.Kajmer05 (talk)22:01, 9 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]- They are confirmed to one another; I'm trying to bring to mind who this reminds me of, there is another prolific sockmaster who writes articles like this but I can't think who. Will try to remember; for now, indeffing both.Girth Summit (blether)16:11, 9 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- That's certainly a link. I also see the similarly blocked accountUser:Yasin1747 just made the same unblock request yesterday, only minus the third paragraph. —CactusWriter(talk)17:09, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Those unblock requests could also be LLM rather than copy-pasting from each other.Izno (talk)17:41, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
