User:Mahichowdhury20 (created 23 January), sole edit was submitting an AFC for Draft:Atikur Rahman Mahi, created by anon editors, and Draft:Atikur Rahman Mahi(Actor).
User:Realarmahiin (created 19 February), and so far only a short burst of edits on 15 March, including an edit to Draft:Atikur Rahman Mahi [1], inserting Mahi's name falsely into an awards article [2], altering Mahi's false addition to a film cast [3], and creating Draft:Daily Shyamal Sylhet, about a website owned by Mahi.
User:Mariyachowdhury (created 21 March) was blocked on 17 August for disruptive WP:SPA edits about Mahi, including an article hijacking: [4], [5]. See WP:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1137 for more detail. The MO in several of these accounts is to copy an article such as Hridoy Islam to a new name, typically a variant of Atikur Rahman Mahi.
User:Somoytvbd (created 12 June), already spamblocked for edits to Draft:Atikur Rahman Mahi and fake additions about Mahi to Bangladesh National Film Award for Best Child Artist in their half-hour life on day of account creation.
User:Samirakhanmahi07 (created 1 Sept), SPA edits for half an hour to Draft:Atikur Rahman Mahi (actor) on day of account creation.
User:Jerinjannat (created 2 Sep), three edits so far, two of which were removing the AFC templates/comment and failed-verification templates from the content fork at Draft:Atikur Rahman Mahi (actor), evidently created to evade page protection added to the original, [6].
User:Mariyachowdhuryeva (created 2 Sep), three edits so far: adding the latest fake reference to Draft:Atikur Rahman Mahi (actor) [7], removing AFC templates/comment from same [8], removing failed-verification template from same [9].
User: Mahichowdhury20 is the oldest account I've found so far, but a checkuser might turn up an older one, and with at least three accounts created yesterday and today, it seems justified. Wikishovel ( talk) 13:32, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
- Adding User:Alvikhanmahi (created 3 Sep), immediately after account creation sets straight into identical removals of the AFC templates from Draft:Atikur Rahman Mahi (actor): [10] Wikishovel ( talk) 12:50, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
- Adding User:Mahirahman10 (created 10 Sep), recreation of hoax Draft:Atikur Rahman Mahi and adding Mahi's name to a film article [11]. Wikishovel ( talk) 07:33, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
Adding User:Zarakhanmahi75 (created 13 Sep), first edit was a link to Chosic Music Company, then creating Draft:Chosic Music Company, founder Atikur Rahman Mahi, then linking from other articles. Another attempted page hijack, this time to create Chosic Music Company article in mainspace [12], added Mahi's name to a label article [13], and created Atikur Rahman Mahi in mainspace.
N.B. I've just noticed that there's an older SPI for this: WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Atikurrahmanmahi2/Archive , with an account created in Dec. 2022. And an even older account exists from July 2022, User:Mariyakhan0, only edits were to create Draft:Atikur Rahman Mahi, deleted G11. So it looks like this SPI may need either merging to the Atikurrahmanmahi2 SPI, or the whole thing renamed to the oldest known account. Wikishovel ( talk) 04:53, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
- Adding User:Bdahhsjs100, created 14 Sept, assisting in creation of Draft:Chosic Music Company and a new hoax clone of Hridoy Islam at Nazibur Rahman Yeamin. IP sock then links it to G-Series (record label): [14]. When I nominated Nazibur Rahman Yeamin for speedy A10 and G3, they then tried to speedy Hridoy Islam: [15]. Wikishovel ( talk) 07:26, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
- Adding User:Tanif1, created 4 Sept, created Draft:Eagle Music (record label), with Atikur Rahman Mahi linked in the list of signees. Wikishovel ( talk) 10:14, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
- Adding User:Tmusic_bd, created 2 February, created CFORK of T-Series (company) at Draft:T-Series (Music), putting Atikur Rahman Mahi as founder and one of the artists. Wikishovel ( talk) 20:09, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
Update, User:Zarakhanmahi75 has now created blatant hoax Mahi's Music Company (propr. Atikur Rahman Mahi). Wikishovel ( talk) 11:13, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
Adding User:Yourmahi, created 14 Sept. Account created Atikur Rahman Mahi (Actor) and linked Atikur Rahman Mahi at Draft:Chosic Music Company [16]. Wikishovel ( talk) 12:59, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
Also note that an editor from LTA rangeblocked 37.111.0.0/16 created Draft:Tashrin Nodi, which oddly lists Atikur Rahman Mahi as a single [17]. Wikishovel ( talk) 13:10, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

Awaiting administrative action - everything checks out: signup date, user name, draft re-creation, copying user pages. Please, block as suspected to the master. I would call this proven to some of the intermediate accounts: if another clerk reviews the case, I have no objections to upgrading all past tags to proven if the link to the master is clear enough.

User:Rafiul Officail created 1 Oct. Immediately creates Draft:Rafiul Islam Sagor, a copy of Hridoy Islam, and games autoconfirm with that until it could be moved to Rafiul Islam Sagor. Image used is File:Rafiul Islam Sagor.jpg, a variant of File:Rafiul Islam Hd Photo.jpg uploaded by block evader User:Rafiul Islam Sagor. Bounced back and forth between drafts and Rafiul Islam Sagor (musician), before going to AFD. Used it as fake info in Taka (film), like previous socks.

Blatant block evasion. Compare Draft:Rafiul Islam Sagor (Actor) against Rafiul Islam Sagor. Both SPAs promoting Rafiul Islam Sagor, presumably the subject himself. Might also be worth checking against other socks at Hridoy Islam as there seems to be a long history of SPAs and socks editing there. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 13:31, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Socks of Atikurrahmanmahi2 (Armahibd, Realarmahibdk, possibly others) have previously been involved in creating Draft:Atikur Rahman Mahi (artist). A new copy has recently been created by recent account Alvibinmahi and subsequently edited by another, Btsbangla. There's also editing by IP 103.199.84.137. Listing all those here.
Note also that this draft title is relatively new, after the earlier Draft:Atikur Rahman Mahi was protected: there you'll find all sorts of fun & games going back at least 18 months, including a fairly recent (Sept-23) recreation by Mahirahman10, who per their user page appears linked to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mahichowdhury20. Whether this means there are two different farms involved, or the two are actually connected, I don't know? -- DoubleGrazing ( talk) 09:44, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Alvirahmanmahi18, who is blocked as a sock of
Mahichowdhury20. Clerks, I agree with the OP that this ought to be merged with
Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mahichowdhury20: there's considerable behavioral overlap there too. I'm new to this, though, I may be missing something.

22:31, 24 April 2024 (UTC) - Alvibinmahi10 ( talk · contribs) is globally-locked as an LTA account. Alvikhanmahi101 is a WP:DUCK with technical overlap, so I've blocked them as well. Other than the edits to the MC Stan draft, AustinVD looks behaviourally distinct from the other accounts. There is a significant technical link between Alvibinmahi10 and Mcsatn, who is blocked as part of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mahichowdhury20. Perhaps these two cases need to be reviewed to see if they are two distinct groups or a merge is needed. -- Ponyo bons mots 17:26, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Blocked and tagged Behavioral evidence is obvious, except for AustinVD which looks completely unrelated. Clerk assistance requested: - Please merge this case into

User:Mahichowdhury20 (created 23 January), sole edit was submitting an AFC for Draft:Atikur Rahman Mahi, created by anon editors, and Draft:Atikur Rahman Mahi(Actor).
User:Realarmahiin (created 19 February), and so far only a short burst of edits on 15 March, including an edit to Draft:Atikur Rahman Mahi [1], inserting Mahi's name falsely into an awards article [2], altering Mahi's false addition to a film cast [3], and creating Draft:Daily Shyamal Sylhet, about a website owned by Mahi.
User:Mariyachowdhury (created 21 March) was blocked on 17 August for disruptive WP:SPA edits about Mahi, including an article hijacking: [4], [5]. See WP:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1137 for more detail. The MO in several of these accounts is to copy an article such as Hridoy Islam to a new name, typically a variant of Atikur Rahman Mahi.
User:Somoytvbd (created 12 June), already spamblocked for edits to Draft:Atikur Rahman Mahi and fake additions about Mahi to Bangladesh National Film Award for Best Child Artist in their half-hour life on day of account creation.
User:Samirakhanmahi07 (created 1 Sept), SPA edits for half an hour to Draft:Atikur Rahman Mahi (actor) on day of account creation.
User:Jerinjannat (created 2 Sep), three edits so far, two of which were removing the AFC templates/comment and failed-verification templates from the content fork at Draft:Atikur Rahman Mahi (actor), evidently created to evade page protection added to the original, [6].
User:Mariyachowdhuryeva (created 2 Sep), three edits so far: adding the latest fake reference to Draft:Atikur Rahman Mahi (actor) [7], removing AFC templates/comment from same [8], removing failed-verification template from same [9].
User: Mahichowdhury20 is the oldest account I've found so far, but a checkuser might turn up an older one, and with at least three accounts created yesterday and today, it seems justified. Wikishovel ( talk) 13:32, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

Adding User:Zarakhanmahi75 (created 13 Sep), first edit was a link to Chosic Music Company, then creating Draft:Chosic Music Company, founder Atikur Rahman Mahi, then linking from other articles. Another attempted page hijack, this time to create Chosic Music Company article in mainspace [12], added Mahi's name to a label article [13], and created Atikur Rahman Mahi in mainspace.
N.B. I've just noticed that there's an older SPI for this: WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Atikurrahmanmahi2/Archive , with an account created in Dec. 2022. And an even older account exists from July 2022, User:Mariyakhan0, only edits were to create Draft:Atikur Rahman Mahi, deleted G11. So it looks like this SPI may need either merging to the Atikurrahmanmahi2 SPI, or the whole thing renamed to the oldest known account. Wikishovel ( talk) 04:53, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Awaiting administrative action - everything checks out: signup date, user name, draft re-creation, copying user pages. Please, block as suspected to the master.

Blatant block evasion. Compare Draft:Rafiul Islam Sagor (Actor) against Rafiul Islam Sagor. Both SPAs promoting Rafiul Islam Sagor, presumably the subject himself. Might also be worth checking against other socks at Hridoy Islam as there seems to be a long history of SPAs and socks editing there. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 13:31, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Socks of Atikurrahmanmahi2 (Armahibd, Realarmahibdk, possibly others) have previously been involved in creating Draft:Atikur Rahman Mahi (artist). A new copy has recently been created by recent account Alvibinmahi and subsequently edited by another, Btsbangla. There's also editing by IP 103.199.84.137. Listing all those here.
Note also that this draft title is relatively new, after the earlier Draft:Atikur Rahman Mahi was protected: there you'll find all sorts of fun & games going back at least 18 months, including a fairly recent (Sept-23) recreation by Mahirahman10, who per their user page appears linked to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mahichowdhury20.

- Alvibinmahi10 ( talk · contribs) is globally-locked as an LTA account. Alvikhanmahi101 is a WP:DUCK with technical overlap, so I've blocked them as well. Other than the edits to the MC Stan draft, AustinVD looks behaviourally distinct from the other accounts. There is a significant technical link between Alvibinmahi10 and Mcsatn, who is blocked as part of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mahichowdhury20. Perhaps these two cases need to be reviewed to see if they are two distinct groups or a merge is needed. -- Ponyo bons mots 17:26, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Blocked and tagged Behavioral evidence is obvious, except for AustinVD which looks completely unrelated. Clerk assistance requested: - Please merge this case into
