Since the sock master is till active, I'm starting this SPI to report future socks.

The above accounts are already blocked:

• Taha_Khattabi was CU-confirmed on Commons.
• "100.14.89.197" engaged in the disruptive editing and was blocked on behaviour ground. Their block evasion was CU confirmed here.
• "T.Khattabi" passed the duck test with flying colours (similar name to "Taha_Khattabi", restored the master's edits, etc).
• "71.232.135.186" targetted the same articles with the same reverts and just like "T.Khattabi", they restored the edit that was made by "100.14.89.197" using a very peculiar choice of word in their edit summaries: inquiry (instead of enquiry) [1] [2].
• Both IPs are more or less from the same geolocation, possibly WP:MEAT, though the expression How about running one of those checkuser things [3] used by "71.232.135.186" in their unblock request is very similar to what "100.14.89.197" used in theirs you should run that SPI thing [4]. Also both IPs blanked their talk page [5] [6] after their unsuccessful unblock requests, just like EdDakhla (the sock master). M.Bitton ( talk) 00:04, 2 March 2021 (UTC) reply

This IP belongs to the sockmaster and has already been blocked for 3 months. Now that the block has expired, they are back, without even attempting to hide who they are (see their confession here). It's also worth noting that they were indefed yesterday on Commons for 1 year. M.Bitton ( talk) 16:15, 12 May 2021 (UTC) reply

• Blocked, of course. Drmies ( talk) 16:28, 12 May 2021 (UTC) reply
• M.Bitton, at the risk of being just another bald professor hoe, it's "indeffed", with double f. ;-) Drmies ( talk) 16:36, 12 May 2021 (UTC) reply

  @ Drmies: I'll try to remember, though the double "f" never made sense to me. Thank you for dispatching the sock. Best, M.Bitton ( talk) 16:43, 12 May 2021 (UTC) reply

• Closing as IP is blocked. Dreamy Jazz ^{talk to me | my contributions} 08:05, 13 May 2021 (UTC) reply

Restoring the same edit that was added previously by Incrdiblehumans87, a confirmed sock of Taha Khatabi (see last comment by Maxim). M.Bitton ( talk) 14:01, 22 June 2021 (UTC) reply

• Appears  Unrelated as far as checkuser evidence goes... ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 16:31, 22 June 2021 (UTC) reply

•  Blocked without tags, closing. The editor can explain themselves on the miniscule chance they appeal. I've also semi'd the article 2 months. KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 00:08, 29 June 2021 (UTC) reply
