Suspected sockpuppets

All currently tagged in Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of محمد الخوبري, would be nice to get some formal confirmation. A classic case of WP:DUCK - Arabic-speaking editor (sockmaster is from Yemen) who edits, and creates non-notable articles, related to IFFHS.

no Declined: With most of these accounts being blocked months ago and with no basis to suspect that there may be other active accounts, a check is not required. AGK [•] 21:28, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm positive that there are active accounts - just the other day I blocked three in a matter of days - we simply haven't found them yet. GiantSnowman 08:20, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Dates of blocks for reference:
D.villa - 3 February 2012
2.178.145.124 - 10 February 2012
Jarni17 - 27 April 2012
Raulmohammed - 30 April 2012
Salas.jarni - 1 May 2012
109.200.180.192 - never blocked, now inactive
The two with Arabic text were blocked 8 February 2012 and 17 February 2012, but the formatting is messing up due to the text display. GiantSnowman 15:11, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Given the continued socking, I see grounds for a check:  Endorsed by a checkuser. AGK [•] 11:43, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I found more socks, and blocked everything.  Confirmed:
 Likely:
I was unable to block the IP addresses, due to the variety of addresses used and volume of collateral. AGK [•] 12:01, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This looks to be a case of WP:DUCK to me - editor appeared soon after last accounts were blocked, has Arabic-script name, edits exclusively in Yemeni football - prime example is him taking over from previous account, within days, as the sole editor of 2011–12 Al-Oruba F.C. season.

Emerged just after the previous sock was blocked, continues to edit the same articles and topics. A clear case of WP:DUCK but bringing here for a) AGF b) so it's formal c) checkuser in case there are any more. GiantSnowman 18:55, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Emerged just after the last sock was blocked, edits the exact same articles - appears to be a clear case of DUCK but bringing it here per AGF and to keep a record. Please check the archive for evidence of recent disruption - is there a longer-term solution? GiantSnowman 16:09, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yemen.houes is a  Confirmed match. Didn't find any other accounts. Also, I wouldn't advise rangeblocks, looks a little busy to me. Elockid (Talk) 22:58, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Emerged just after the last sock was blocked, edits same articles, similar names to previous socks - we all know it's him, but bringing it here for formal confirmation and AGF etc., and to seek check for sleepers / consider possible rangeblock? GiantSnowman 12:48, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Similar names to previous socks, edits same articles, appeared just after previous sock was blocked - clear case of WP:DUCK, I've already bagged and tagged him but bringing it here (again) to request formal CU and a range block / further action. GiantSnowman 08:10, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Already blocked per WP:DUCK - emerged after last sock, edits same articles - but bringing it here for formal identification and see if you guys can work your magic and prevent further disruption; once confirmed I'll feel happier cleaning up after him and G5ing some stuff.

Clear case of DUCK, already blocked, but even when I'm 99.99% sure that little bit of doubt means I need it confirming by SPI GiantSnowman 09:35, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  •  CheckUser is not magic pixie dust, with what I see though, it's  Likely. I ran this check on the possibility that there were more socks when I was looking through the evidence, but nothing is showing. GaintSnowman, you should consider your DUCK blocks as good and keep going with that. CheckUser won't go out to confirm all of them, but can back you up on an unblock request when it happens. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 15:10, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • information Administrator note Looking at the edits and template creations, the duck case does look pretty convincing. (The master's username also transliterates to Mohammed Alkhobary, I believe.) Marking for close. Jafeluv (talk) 16:06, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
