The article Ali Al Suleiman (Journalist) has been created today. It is a recreation of this article that was speedily deleted in August last year with indications of sock puppetry.
On 6 May this year I was contacted by an editor whose articles I’d reviewed, called User:Aliaboomar. When I looked on his user page I realised that he was the Ali Mahmoud Al Suleiman who had been the subject of the article deleted. I warned him to remove promotional links from his user page here.
The article Ali Al Suleiman (Journalist) has been created today by a new account, and if you look at all the refs in the article you will see that they’re the same as the links on this old version of Aliaboomar’s talk page. He removed them on 7 May after I warned him.
Based on this I believe the article Ali Al Suleiman (Journalist) is an autobiography and that its creator, User:Turkey1453turkey is a sockpuppet of User:Aliaboomar. Mccapra ( talk) 17:46, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Yauvuz A Alemdar created the article Ali Mahmoud Al Suleiman (Translator), which was created by socks of علي أبو عمر under various titles (see the archives). It was then tagged for G4, with the two brand-new accounts Niyazi Birinci and Ameer Alemdar attempting to remove the G4 tag within 5 minutes of each other (Ameer Alemdar within a minute of being created).

The article Ali Al Suleiman (Journalist) has been created today. It is a recreation of this article that was speedily deleted in August last year with indications of sock puppetry.
On 6 May this year I was contacted by an editor whose articles I’d reviewed, called User:Aliaboomar. When I looked on his user page I realised that he was the Ali Mahmoud Al Suleiman who had been the subject of the article deleted. I warned him to remove promotional links from his user page here.
The article Ali Al Suleiman (Journalist) has been created today by a new account, and if you look at all the refs in the article you will see that they’re the same as the links on this old version of Aliaboomar’s talk page. He removed them on 7 May after I warned him.
Based on this I believe the article Ali Al Suleiman (Journalist) is an autobiography and that its creator, User:Turkey1453turkey is a sockpuppet of User:Aliaboomar. Mccapra ( talk) 17:46, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

This user contacted me via email (i.e. off-Wiki) to request an article be created for Ali Al Suleiman, and later on-wiki ( diff) to have Draft:Ortadoguhaberler.com resurrected. The former was created by User:علي أبو عمر, the sockmaster, and the latter by User:The Qatari Wikipedian, a confirmed sock account. The timescale of this tallies perfectly with the archived SPI, as does the MO of this user – Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Ali_Al_Suleiman_(journalist) has multiple comments referring to canvassing emails directly to editors.

Marah Gh 90 is a precocious new editor. When they complained about their edits not going through, I checked their filter log and there were attempts to create Draft:Ali Mahmoud Al Suleiman (journalist) and Draft:Ali Al Suleiman (translator) and tried to create another draft on their sandbox about Ali Al Suleiman. I did give them a head's up that they were probably going to be identified as a sockpuppet. Liz Read! Talk! 07:46, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
It's been a while since I've filed one of these, but I'm seeing a draft for an article for an Ali Suleiman who is a translator and a journalist, which was created in one sitting by an account a few minutes old followed by forum shopping. Pahunkat ( talk) 10:49, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
