Loud quacking. Minutes after creation, first edits were to tweak and submit recreation of [[Thamar KV]] at [[Draft:Thamar K V]]. [[User:Wikishovel|Wikishovel]] ([[User talk:Wikishovel|talk]]) 20:26, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

Added temp account that made the initial edit minutes before, and another that tweaked it a bit after submission. [[User:Wikishovel|Wikishovel]] ([[User talk:Wikishovel|talk]]) 20:27, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

Though COI is disclosed, it’s still block evasion. Rusha & Blizza was created by Rydex64/Przdnt just a month ago. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 19:32, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• From a technical perspective this is somewhere between  Possible and  Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely). They are in the same area of the same country, and have used the same ISP. WP:MEAT would be a possibility. LaraKapoor has another account with zero edits, which should be blocked if it is decided that they are a sock. Spicy (talk) 15:49, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Looking at the behavior, it’s pretty clear this is socking of some form. Blocking as suspected. RoySmith (talk) 23:20, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is a strong potential for these two to be a tag team for at least one “false AFC” acceptance, including not very clever plain sight talk page messaging. Article in question is Murivu. We are not discussing the article per se.

Useful diffs:

I was considering relying on quacking. However this conversation leads me to suspect a connection with Rydex64. That suggests CU, please.

I am also inviting @RangersRus and Jeraxmoira: to contribute additional details. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 15:13, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies to our clerks if I have filed this under an inappropriate alleged master. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 15:43, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am now clear as I am able (I lack the ability to check in detail) that DareshMohan was swept up by accident in this. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 08:18, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Page Murivu was a draft that was declined by me because it did not pass WP:NFILM. This page was created by a sock User:Rydex64. Murivu page was moved from draftspace to mainspace by editor ArifVlog782 who also posted a fake AFC acceptance message. I suspect ArifVlog782 a sock of Rydex64 and possibly canvassing with DareshMohan because see how editor tries to fix the fake acceptance message. RangersRus (talk) 15:33, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging @Izno @RangerRus @Timtrent – I’ve received an email to my account despite not using the account. This is Rydex writing, I don’t wanna create another Wikipedia account and nor want to contribute anyway. The primary reason to write here is I hate to see another false “sockpuppet investigations” notifications to my email. If any admin find this message, kindly delete my “falsely banned” @Rydex64’s email associated to unsubscribe any future emails.

Secondly, I’m absurdly questioning and find it humorous about the research and claims of the users in the conversation. I find it very disturbing how such users who claims “experienced” make false claims on another genuine editors. I agree maybe some users could be “sock” but It’s again super crazy to link it to my page investigations for no reason haha. ArifVlog782’s contributions is accurately stupid though, he might be sock of someone else.

Anyways, I’m not here to stop you guys from “falsely” banning other users. You’re free to do so and I would not want to contribute anymore anyway as I just came here to express my words. And please, do not tag or send me notifications to my email. Thank you. 116.68.79.145 (talk) 16:48, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New accounts. Tag teamed to create Ijaaz Ebrahim Ikbal. How did each of them find the same new article to play with? The same fake deployment if AFC acceptance template on JA’s talk page by ArifVlog782 whom we have seen before in this arena. The reek of fish overpowers the scent of duck. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 08:22, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TheresNoTime I assume that ArifVlog782 didn’t escape your attention but is, as in the report above, hiding in the reeds of the domestic proxies? I didn’t feel they needed to be filed here as well, 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 12:56, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheresNoTime: Thanks for double checking. It will have to come down to a rather smelly dish of duck with fish sauce and steamed proxy reeds. I should probably have added them to this report for clarity. One day I’ll get it right. Probably! 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 13:15, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Added ArifVlog782 to the list after RR’s comment. Keeps the record tidy. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 15:19, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Timtrent: @TheresNoTime:
ArifVlog782 created a draft page Draft:Ijaaz_Ebrahim_(actor) and 47 mins later Jennyatkinson created the page on same subject Ijaaz Ebrahim Ikbal with all same editing and ArifVlog782 then moved it from draft space to namespace without AFC review and posting fake AFC acceptance message. RangersRus (talk) 15:12, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Zyntho was created on 13 November 2024 and edited Ijaaz Ebrahim Ikbal [5], which was created by ArifVlog782 and Kadha Innuvare which was also created by ArifVlog782. It seems fishy behavior that he would add major contributor and paid tags.Jennyatkinson created Ijaaz Ebrahim Ikbal, which ArifVlog782 also majorly edited [6].

•  In progress — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 12:22, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
•  Inconclusive from a technical POV — there is some proxy use going on here which is why I’m not confident saying they’re entirely unrelated. Will note that Zyntho might be  Possible to the Rpgea’s socks.  Behavioural evidence needs evaluation — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 12:31, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @Timtrent: I didn’t check them as part of the above, but have now — unfortunately nothing stands out technically, given proxy use and the such as you mention. Thanks for the poke about it though (getting used to processing CU requests again!) — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 13:09, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• I’ve blocked ArifVlog782 for the disruption and likely UPE, whether or not they’re tied to this master (and apparently the master denies that connection). Will have to look at the others. Izno (talk) 17:13, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• I looked at Zyntho, that’s not a possible to Rpgea in my world, that’s a  Technically indistinguishable. Izno (talk) 04:23, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• I’m convinced that Jennyatkinson is either a sock or UPE based on the content of the article deleted compared to the AFDd article. I’ve blocked for promotion. Izno (talk) 04:47, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
