Suspected sockpuppets

StayCalmOnTress socks have been good lately at avoiding CU so may need behavioral evidence reviewed. User Arham Zeb creates account on February 6, 2025. Same day, they added programs to List of programs broadcast by ARY Digital. Note these were poorly sourced, redirects, or unsourced. Similar bulk edit attempted by now blocked StayCalmOnTress sock Zarnab Raza on January 7th. User also edits the following pages with the 11 total edits to Wikipedia:

Just added user:Mehar Bano Shah, account created on February 22, 2025 that is making the same edits as Arham Zeb. On List of programs broadcast by ARY Digital, Arham Zeb wikilinked many of the shows through a redirect (e.g., Bismil to ARY Digital). These were reverted when the original SPI was filed. Mehar Bano Shah just did the same thing. Note that it was not a revert but a manual edit. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:33, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Arham Zeb was dormant for a few weeks and then came back today and edited three pages - Hiba Qadir, Ayeza Khan, Durefishan Saleem - all three of which were edited by now blocked Munch03 prior to their block (blocked for vandalism but reported as a suspected SOCK in a SPI filed after this one). --CNMall41 (talk) 01:25, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Since there seems to be quite a few looking at this range, this may be of interest. It is likely one of the leads of the farm but they were able to avoid CU. Was compiling in order to file at COIN but there is more evidence of other users if anyone is interested to review it with this filing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CNMall41 (talk • contribs) 21:01, February 6, 2025 (UTC)

Account created February 2, 2025 and editing same interests, including pages related to Hum TV. Creates Dil Wali Gali Mein which is then edited by IP 39.34.175.100 (already partially blocked and not allowed to create pages) which has also spent the month of February editing same StayCalmOnTress targets. Also note the user uses similar device as many other SCOT socks (Android app edit). CNMall41 (talk) 21:21, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I now see this which is the IP and suspected SPI talking to each other on one's talk page. Another common tactic of the SCOT farm in order to try to draw attention away from them being SOCKS. --CNMall41 (talk) 22:39, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
And in classic SCOT fashion, I am now being accused of discrimination. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:04, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

SOCK is back editing all the same pages as previous socks. Also same operating system as other socks. What initially caught my attention is the moving of Gentleman (Pakistani TV series) to mainspace, a draft created by Sunuraju and previously G5'd for creation by another sock of SCOT. Note that a COIN report is also pending on Sunuraju since they are avoiding CU. CNMall41 (talk) 09:08, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Noting also for the record the now reversed page histories of Tan Man Neel O Neel and Tan Man Neel o Neel, contrary to the AfD decision at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tan Man Neel o Neel. I understand this is redundant as proof now that the sock is blocked, but nothing the page histories for the archived case records and the similar pattern as deacribed above. Bobby Cohn (talk) 21:58, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bobby Cohn:, thanks for mentioning that as I did not see it at first. It is connected to this COIN filing as this history shows Zxa123 along with the two SOCKS (Sunuraju and Munch003) who were editing the page prior to the current sock.--CNMall41 (talk) 18:14, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Happy to, @CNMall41. Seems I stumbled into this from a different path as yourself, I only caught and nominated the Tan Man Neel o Neel AfD from NPP patrolling, which is why it popped up on my watchlist. Yamla did move the draft (now a redirect) back to the draft space, I have no problem with that as it (and it's page history) is an obvious G5 (and maybe a duplicate of G4 material). I'm not sure if the IPs in the page history are of any interest to the SPI. I did recreate the redirect using {{R avoid double redirect}} and {{R from alternative capitalization}} because I'm borderline on if it's actually a useful encyclopedic redirect (and totally not a squatted title), but I'm okay if it gets binned. —Bobby Cohn (talk) 21:38, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Related to User:Zxa123 who was blocked in the previous report. Filing as new SPI since I believe CU was already conducted in previous report. User:Zxa123 moved Draft:Judwaa (TV series) to mainspace at Judwaa (TV series). This was their MO for other SOCKS. This draft created by user EternalSun1 who is clearly involved with the farm.

Sock Zarnab Raza blocked on January 15, 2025. New user Arham Zeb creates account on February 6, 2025 and goes right back to same editing pattern. This includes large changes to List of programs broadcast by ARY Digital and List of programs broadcast by Geo Entertainment. Also associated with Sunuraju currently at COIN with same editing pattern. CNMall41 (talk) 02:18, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@MarioGom: Thanks for the ping and I apologize for the duplicate report. I had been looking at so many socks from this farm that I didn't see I had already filed it previously. Will be mindful in the future. --CNMall41 (talk) 00:03, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Blocked and tagged I assume checkuser was inconclusive/negative because there have been checks subsequent to this report being opened. I am blocking on the basis of behavioral evidence, including strong overlap of interest with Special:Contributions/Kkb091, including the (re)creation of an almost identical article at Aalmi Tehreek-e-Namoos-e-Risalat.

Account created on February 14, 2025. Edits do not look like a newbie with the page creations, redirects, etc. so it gave me the impression this is not their first/only account on Wikipedia. Appears this is the same user as account Zxa123 who was blocked as a sock of SCOT on February 12, 2025 just two days before the new account creation.

The edit that drew my attention today was with Dil Wali Gali Mein which they edited at 18:23, one minute after IP 100.1.164.111 edits the page. Page was originally created by PB987, now blocked sock of SCOT. Was also draftified after a deletion discussion and then moved back to mainspace by Sackiii. Note that one of the operating systems being used by Sackiii is the same as PB987 (Android app edit….). Also edited by now blocked SCOT sock Zxa123 who also used the same operating system. Not sure if IP is related or not but drew my attention with the edit being so close together and SCOT using IPs a lot of times to avoid blocks.

Note that Zxa123 added “Category:2025 in Pakistani television” to the Dil Wali Gali Min page on February 12, 2025. Sackiii created the page 2025 in Pakistani television on March 3rd (I moved to draft as the references were all unreliable with the exception of one). I also see some cross editing with Sunuraju who I filed a COIN about and is still pending. CNMall41 (talk) 19:11, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jpgordon:, @Dclemens1971:, earlier I struck a delete vote from user for being a sock. I think I did this preemptively as I see they aren't blocked. Sorry. --CNMall41 (talk) 02:35, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jpgordon is there a reason they aren't blocked even though the CU came back confirmed? Dclemens1971 (talk) 02:39, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Let's see. Dog needed attention? Pot was boiling over? Saw something broken on the internet? CU blocked. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 03:16, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hey @Jpgordon, wasn't trying to criticize and hope I didn't give that impression or offend you. I usually see admin CUs block immediately following a confirmed check, but I'm always learning here and wondered if there might be some SPI procedure I was unfamiliar with that require a different approach. Thanks! Dclemens1971 (talk) 03:33, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oh not at all! I don't always block immediately when handling something on SPI, but I should have on this one. I was laughing as I wrote that. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 03:55, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jpgordon:, @Dclemens1971: - Sorry, didn't mean to cause any issues. Wasn't sure if I did something wrong by striking the vote prior so just left a general statement. On a side note, if you try to fix everything broken on the internet you will drive yourself crazy. Stick to the dog. lol --CNMall41 (talk) 00:06, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sackiii was created a few days after SCOT sock PB987 was blocked and has edited extensively on the same pages, with Sackiii moving one of PB987's pages back to mainspace following an AfD result of "draftify." Dclemens1971 (talk) 19:13, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

New account created on February 5th with 76 edits as of this report. Same OS as many other socks, editing same pages as the farm, not just the topic area. Similar behavior as now blocked sock Sackiii in that when a new page they create is moved to draft, they immediately move it back to mainspace (Achari Mohabbat). Another tell is the editing on Sohai Ali Abro which is a heavy target for this farm. CNMall41 (talk) 05:27, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
