Since 24 February an IP has tried to edit war in a preferred revision of Sayyid Badiuddin, [1] [2] [3] (the last one on 18 March with slight variants).
On 4 May Marathi Bhabuchak turned the article into a redirect [4] pointing to an article which itself had just been changed from a redirect to an article containing the preferred revision mentioned above [5]. Noting that the account had clearly gamed autoconfirmed to do this, User:Tamzin blocked Marathi Bhabuchak for sock- or meatpuppetry.
On 13 June Teslamesla reinstated the preferred revision mentioned above ([6], compare with [7]). Teslamesla gamed autoconfirmed to be able to do this.
I'll also note that Marathi Bhabuchak was created on 22 July 2020 but only started editing on 4 May 2022. Is this a sleeper of another sockpuppeteer? ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 12:42, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

- Teslamesla (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) is
Unrelated to Marathi Bhabuchak, but is
Technically indistinguishable to Anomatopoeia (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki), which is a sock of Hajrakhala (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki). I don't see any obvious sleepers for Marathi Bhabuchak. Teslamesla blocked.
Clerk assistance requested: Please move to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Hajrakhala and tag Teslamesla once completed. Thanks. :-) Katietalk 14:12, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
