– This SPI case is open.

Suspected sockpuppets

Recreation of Rehmat Aziz Chitrali Gold Medalist (one of several variations, like Rehmat Aziz Chitrali etc...) and a direct copy of Rachitrali's userpage = some pretty loud quacking. There's also this on my talk... and now thisCHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 11:33, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Chrissymad: about what? --Saqib (talk) 13:20, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Saqib His WMF claim! CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 13:20, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
He has been doing it for quite a time now. see User_talk:Rachitrali. --Saqib (talk) 13:23, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Bbb23: This guy (Akbaralighazi/Rehmat Aziz Chitrali, see deleted article Rehmat Aziz Chitrali) is a self-proclaimed language expert, lives in Pakistan, has been socking for years, and shares most of the interests that User:LanguageXpert has shown here, so it might be worth a minute or two to check if there's a connection between them, now that we have fresh edits undisputably made by Chitrali... - Tom | Thomas.W talk 14:39, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
LanguageXpert edits different articles and has a very different style. – Uanfala (talk) 20:14, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I see some behavioral and subject-interest links to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Najaf ali bhayo also. DMacks (talk) 02:21, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Najaf ali bhayo has the same interest in Khowar and related languages, but their strong propensity for blatant hoaxing doesn't in my view fit with Rachitrali's good-faith (if sometimes incompetent) editing to these articles. – Uanfala (talk) 08:23, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • On the other hand, Rehmat Aziz Chitrali looks to me like Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sher Aziz. DMacks (talk) 02:24, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • DMacks is right about this being Najaf. This is not the real Rachitrali. This is a joe job. I indicated a while ago that I knew that Najaf was a catalyst to this case and to a much lesser degree LanguageXpert has been involved. Their socks were active at Commons and elsewhere going after this group. Mostly Najaf. I've been busy and hadn't got to post here before now. Some contribs at meta have disappeared as did a userpage that had been created there. I notice that this account remains unblocked although his contribs are gone. Since I'm not an admin there, I can no longer see them. :) I assume that the admins must have deleted this but I haven't chased that down yet.
    • Also during the night, I received an email from the original Rachitrali account and I'm going to reply here. As you can see, I believe you that the above accounts and most recent activity isn't you. I had re-opened this case so that I could address that. Receiving the email helped confirm what I already suspected and as you can see another admin also suspected Najaf. To address another point in your email, no, we do not supply real names, email addresses, IP addresses, etc. You have indicated that you are trying to locate Najaf's actual residence and go find him. We cannot assist you in that matter.

And to make it even easier, they've had their username changed to Akbar ali ghazi. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 14:23, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • The name change to "Akbar ali ghazi" is so obvious that it has to be a "joe job". See comments about "joe job" in the section above... (... and if I was to bet on who's behind it I'd put my money on Najafalibhayo, based on what I've seen of him and his actions so far) - Tom | Thomas.W talk 14:30, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. This is what Akbaralighazi (Rehmat Aziz) told me by email, but I really don't believe it to be true. I wonder why someone would do that.
