Obvious block evasion. আরিফ আহমেদ কোটা আন্দলোনকারী created 8 August. First edits were adding info over the past half hour about A H Milad to Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award and Golapganj Upazila, and as usual vandalizing Milad. Wikishovel (talk) 13:20, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- Further attempts today at Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award [1], and evasive re-creation of semi-protected Draft:Al Hasan Milad at Draft:Al Hasan. Wikishovel (talk) 08:09, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
Adding sleeper Supernetwork, created 5 July. Gamed autoconfirm, then today moved twice-declined Draft:Daily Asian Age, created by আরিফ আহমেদ কোটা আন্দলোনকারী, to main space.[2] Minutes later, recreated Al Hasan Milad at Al Hasan (entrepreneur) using a copy of declined Draft:Al Hasan: [3], which was then immediately edited by আরিফ আহমেদ কোটা আন্দলোনকারী: [4]. Requesting checkuser for further sleepers. Wikishovel (talk) 10:58, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- Al Hasan Milad was nominated for db-g5 by another editor, and আরিফ আহমেদ কোটা আন্দলোনকারী removed the speedy tag: [5]
Adding screaming duck Youthop, created 9 August. Gamed autoconfirm, then recreated Al Hasan Milad at Al Hasan (Born: 2000) and International Technology of Bangladesh at International Technology of Bangladesh (ITB). Wikishovel (talk) 14:01, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
Adding sleeper Micke007, created 25 June: thanks User:Fram for spotting it. Account has just created Draft:Al Hasan (Bangladeshi entrepreneur and author) and moved it to Al Hasan (Bangladeshi entrepreneur author and CEO) and Al Hasan (Bangladeshi). Wikishovel (talk) 18:06, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- Same sock is repeatedly moving Information technology in Bangladesh to International Technology of Bangladesh, Al Hasan Milad's company, same as blocked sock User:KibriyaaBb. Wikishovel (talk) 19:35, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
From later reporting
[edit]Obvious block evasion. Mohona Maiti autocreated here 12 August. Gamed autoconfirm, then recreated Dainik Target, previously created by sock User:1NewSwiki. On 11 August, they did the same at DE wiki and HI wiki. Wikishovel (talk) 09:19, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
Adding Qouta.move2024, created 24 August. Minutes after creation, recreated salted Al Hasan Milad at Draft:Al Hasan (Born: 2000 / Sylhet, Bangladesh): currently nominated for speedy G11.
On the same day, another draft was created at an hour earlier at Draft:Al Hasan (Born: 2000/ Bangladeshi), moved to Draft:Al Hasan (businessman), by anon socks 103.155.151.196, 2404:1C40:59:F36A:1:0:8AC1:890C and 2404:1C40:57:12E7:1:0:8C33:3CF1. Sock 103.155.151.196 also made the usual unsourced addition of Al Hasan Milad to Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award: [6]. Wikishovel (talk) 04:26, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Adding sock Runner1000, created 19 August. Today recreated Shamim Hossen at draft, moved it to main space, realised their error, moved it back to draft. Wikishovel (talk) 15:18, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
Adding new sock Abc 0.2, autocreated 31 July, recreated Al Hasan Milad at Draft:AH Milad (logged out, (IP 2404:1C40:5A:2CE3:1:0:C1D1:9C8B), then moved it to AH Milad (logged in). IP 2404:1C40:5A:2CE3:1:0:C1D1:9C8B also pulled their usual stunt of hijacking Milad: [7]. Requesting checkuser for further sleepers. Wikishovel (talk) 14:19, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Abc 0.2 also recreated Draft:Niloy Hasan Shamim, previously created by master User:Niloyhasan shamim and their sock User:Mdbadul, but then more recently created by User:JoyHT, tagged as a sock of User:Parvej096388. However, at WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Parvej096388/Archive, overlap is mentioned with User:Enwiki23, which was later merged here, so this might confirm a link. Wikishovel (talk) 18:52, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
Adding new sock Efietking, created today a few minutes after the AFD for AH Milad, and immediately !voted to "keep" alongside anon sock above. Wikishovel (talk) 14:29, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
Adding new sock Newyorkfahim, first and only edit so far was recreation of Draft:Al Hasan (Businessmen). Wikishovel (talk) 11:53, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
Adding new sock Moon moon01, created 10 September. First edits were today, removing all previous AfC decline and comment templates and COI template from Draft:Shamim Hossen, and resubmitting. Wikishovel (talk) 12:01, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
- Same account has just tried to resubmit Draft:Shamim Hossen at Draft:Shamim (Journalist). Wikishovel (talk) 18:36, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
Adding anon sock User:103.48.160.35. First edit was to add Md Sunnat Ali Mollik to Requested articles in February [8]. In April submitted Draft:MD Sunnat Ali Mollik (created 3 days earlier by another Dhaka anon) [9]. Next added Mollik's news site Dainik Target to as a reference in two articles: [10], [11]. This week created Draft:Dainik Target at Draft:The Daily Target, and !voted "Delete" on the AFD for a rival's news site [12]. Wikishovel (talk) 15:16, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
Adding sock হিফজুর খান, created 5 October. Third edit was unsourced addition of Al Hasan Milad to National Information and Communication Technology Awards: [13]. Sixth and final edit was unsourced addition of Al Hasan Milad to WBF Youth Award: [14]. Wikishovel (talk) 15:56, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Found another DUCK: Special:Contributions/মোঃ ইফতিকার আহম্মদ ইমরান. Jdcomix (talk) 14:09, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Jdcomix: Can you give a couple of diffs to show that it's a duck? It isn't immediately obvious to me from a quick look. JBW (talk) 21:17, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- Dont think they are related upon further inspection Jdcomix (talk) 21:23, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
User:Micke007 is another sock, they created Al Hasan (Bangladeshi entrepreneur and author) to avoid the salting. I moved it to draft, as there is no speedy reason for "page already salted at other titles and editor probably a sock". Fram (talk) 17:50, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
[edit]- In the following, I refer to two accounts with almost the same username, with just a tiny change in the last couple of letters. For easier readability I shall refer to আরিফ আহমেদ কোটা আন্দলোনকারী, which is reported above, as "A1", and the other account, আরিফ আহমেদ কোটা আন্দলোনকারীর, as "A2".
- A1 and Supernetwork are both almost certainly Enwiki23. It is absolutely certain, rather than just almost certain, that A1 is the same person as the globally locked account A2, so I have blocked the first named of those accounts. It is also certain that the account Supernetwork has been editing in collaboration with A1, 99% probability it's the same person, 1% it's a meatpuppet, so I've blocked that one. A2 is blocked on bn.wikipedia as a sockpuppet of Alkhan23, who is blocked on en.wiki as a sockpuppet of Rasheduzzamanrafi, so maybe there's one far bigger network of sockpuppets than has previously been realised. I think a CU would be a good idea, in case there are yet more as yet unidentified sockpuppets. JBW (talk) 13:38, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- Administrator note Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/রাকিবুল হাসান মাহমুদ and Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Parvej096388 may be related or the same user according to a Steward who commented there and did the GLock. I'm not a Clerk so I can't endorse this CU request, but I believe there's good reason within CU policy to run a check for all of them (Parvej is likely stale unless there is historical data) to detangle this nest. The WordsmithTalk to me 20:22, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
- হিফজুর খান confirmed to আরিফ আহমেদ কোটা আন্দলোনকারী. Izno (talk) 18:45, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
- Group 1. There are multiple UAs represented here that work in tandem, I assume two or more separate people. We've mostly caught these socks in one way or another as part of this group.

- Groups 1 and 2 are not on close addressing, at least for fruitful comparison data. (I didn't keep records of anything but the useful addresses, where multiple users were seen.) I'm inclined to say those are two separate groups in general, even if they're overlapping on any given topic.
- Regarding Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Parvej096388, both group 1 and group 2 have multiple network overlaps in the historical data for Parvej, but only specific accounts rather than each and every account. I don't have access to device info but I could list out who I think is in each group just based on the addresses checked.
- Regarding Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/রাকিবুল হাসান মাহমুদ, the progenitor of the case and the immediate sock could be in either of the above 2 groups, based on network allocation shifting in the past 3 years. Regarding the more recent case, data from offwiki associates SPI/Parvej096388 and RaimaParomita. So I suppose we could get that moved over to Parvej.
- Regarding the lot, I can't say whether it makes sense to track all of these separately. When there's an overlap of this sort, at least one CU I know of thinks it's more important to get users blocked rather than spend time trying to figure out who's who. Merging everything would probably make some tracking easier on the surface, and definitely the reporting, but innocent or new CUs are going to get confused when their checks don't turn up the info they expect, and whoever's around for clerking would have to do the merge dance for any specific case. Izno (talk) 23:41, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
- Marking as checked. Please file any additional accounts as a new case. Izno (talk) 23:42, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
- I've also left stuff on CU wiki. Izno (talk) 23:47, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
- It looks like all the accounts have already been blocked and it doesn't seem worth investing any effort in the IPs, especially given that this has been open for 3 months. Closing with no further action. RoySmith (talk) 23:16, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

SPA রাতের তারা autocreated 13 October. First edit on 22 October was recreation of Draft:Shamim Hossen at Draft:Shamim Hossen (Journalist).
