On his user page, 0"cleopatra"0 takes credit for some articles actually created by User:Xavier 500.30.10, such as Ganeshamangalam. Someone might look over the creations by 0"cleopatra"0 to see if they actually deserve to be articles. I have done an indef SPI block of 0"cleopatra"0 under this case but someone else can decide whether to tag. Some other socks of Xavier 500.30.10 have been globally locked. I suggest that User:0"cleopatra"0 also be globally locked because he has been active on Commons and on Wikidata. EdJohnston ( talk) 18:04, 23 October 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Forgive me for reopening, but I have some more CU results  In progress.
In addition, I have  Confirmed Ashker Malik ( talk + · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log· investigate · cuwiki) to User:Xavier 500.30.10 and have blocked the Ashker Malik account.

The first WP edit by Welcome 103.05.23 is this one on Sept. 6, asking for help in creating an article on Mohammed Shanooj. This suggests to me that User:Welcome 103.05.23 is the same person as User:MohammedShanooj03 even though I have no CU findings on the latter. It would theoretically be possible to retag all the User:Xavier 500.30.10 socks as socks of MohammedShanooj03, though I don't know if the clerks would consider that worthwhile.
In case the clerks want to rename the case in honor of the oldest sock, here are all the candidate socks and their creation dates:
Admins will notice a number of these guys showing up in the edit history of the now-deleted article Al aman Kollam.

  • OK, six of the seven editors from my list above are  Confirmed to each other, going from Al aman kollam to Xavier 500.30.10, but omitting User:MohammedShanooj03 who is stale. In addition, the following editor is confirmed to the same group:

First substantive action was to create Draft:Y Mall, Thriprayar, which was previously created in mainspace by a previously confirmed sock.

Userpage statement of I am new to wikipedia, but also i am well experienced editor in wikipedia, and apparent gaming behaviour in user sandbox sets general sock alarm bells ringing. Lastly, the username containing a number with decimal point lines up with prior socks (e.g. Bot clean up 1.02).

Unsure whether CheckUser is warranted/helpful here, will leave that to someone more familiar with the case. firefly ( t · c ) 13:46, 6 November 2021 (UTC) reply

The sockpuppet accounts create the article Y Mall again and again by creating new accounts. The user User:0"cleopatra"0 created the article first. After his account was blocked for multiple accounts. he came up with a new one User:Mallu editz 1.0 and created another draft on Y Mall (first contribution). That user too got confirmed and blocked. Now coming with a new account created same Y Mall. Confirmed sockpuppet of User:0"cleopatra"0. See the previous SPI investigation Onmyway22 talk 08:15, 14 November 2021 (UTC) reply

IB is clearly a sock given their rapid fire editing that obviously is not that of a new editor. Particularly their crossover with Xavier 500.30.10. See IB's userpage indicating he is a resident of Kerala and the male WP editor userbox, and Xavier's userpage which has the same two userboxes.

Then, we have IB recreating Mallu Traveler and Draft:Mallu Traveler, which were previously created by the same sock account (Xavier). PICKLEDICAE🥒 01:53, 28 August 2022 (UTC) reply
