Same old, same old. This time not masquerading as an Iranian (their favourite) or an Albanian, but a Turkish person [1]. A "Turkish" person which apparently knows most about Arabic related stuff than anything else [2] [3] [4] [5]. Those diffs also show that they are familiar with Wiki templates, just like a "new" user would.

Like SheryOfficial, they also love to use WP:RM/TR right off the get-go, just like any "new" user would [6]

Would highly appreciate if you could rollback all their edits, I'm very confident this is SheryOfficial. HistoryofIran (talk) 20:29, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT: After this SPI they immediately starting reverting themselves and claimed that they were "retiring" [7]. Though they are probably making another account as usual. HistoryofIran (talk) 21:38, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT: DeobandiBlade is deffo a sock of SheryOfficial. This is their first edit, as a "new" user already familiar with templates related to Arabic exactly like SheryOfficial in their past socks and Kürkisk [8]. SheryOfficial has also shown interest in Deobandi related articles (eg [9] [10]). Not to mention their account was created just a day after this SPI.

@Primefac: I opened an SPI case concerning user Kürkisk. I just noticed this one. Can you take a look? Ktrimi991 (talk) 17:06, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Confirmed via Leithiani. I found the following accounts that are either name- or IP- related which I'd file as  Possible but might need further evaluation (not opposed to blocking them as well):

There are also a couple of others that were a little too far out of what I'd want to even say as possible. Primefac (talk) 17:03, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
