Suspected sockpuppet
@MarcGarver @Xania Based on both username similarity and editing patterns, I suspect User:Mohammad.Hosein.G.Shia is a sockpuppet of User:Mohammad.Hosein.J.Shia / User:Germany Poul Ah / User:Germany paul whq2 / User:FDVDBFNDBSW2552. They have a continued history of copyright violation, block evasion, and abuse, including on Farsi Wikipedia. I'd like to infinitely block this sock account (and potentially extend the block on the other highly-used accounts), but I'm checking with others first. Thanks! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 13:30, 15 December 2023 (UTC)


 * I'd also like to accordingly mass delete all new pages contributed by this user. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 13:35, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Due to special:diff/4350942, I believe your guess is right. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 11:43, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I blocked them for one week because of this—interfering with the discussion is highly inappropriate. Would still appreciate some input from other admins before an infinite block. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 16:31, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree with a permanent block. In addition, some pages created by User:Mohammad.Hosein.J.Shia seem to be copyvios (such as Nuclear Energy/Atom), that would need to be accounted for and deleted. —Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 19:54, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 21:24, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I would like to note that User:Germany Poul Ah and User:Germany paul whq2 are now globally locked. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 13:31, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Good to know—seems like they've had issues across many wikis. We can keep an eye out for them. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 17:13, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
