Evidence submitted by Esowteric
We appear to have another old edit warrior at the RAGS article just after the block: User:Asikhi. edit diff. Possibly WP:MEAT? (has a wider article editing profile than the others).
Is engaged in the same pattern of edits to RAGS and associated articles.
Has also previously added to the other socks/meat support for the page renaming: edit diff.
Sorry, not sure how to turn off the checkuser bit. Esowteric+Talk 10:58, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
Note to spitfire (Clerk). Okay, found AN/I: will file a report there. Many thanks. Esowteric+Talk 11:29, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

All accused parties are of the opinion that I am not being fair in singling them out. Their own grievances against the "other side" in the disputes are stated at Talk:Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi#Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi and elsewhere. Esowteric+Talk 12:44, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- As this new sock account was actively block evading and reverting articles from the dispute after falconkhe was blocked and after he denied having any socks at all I would say the block on this disruptive sock master should be raised to indefinite. if at some point he wants to discuss he can but after being blocked for disruptive socking he has simply socked again. Off2riorob (talk) 16:42, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Agree. Also suggest keeping semi-protection. IPs and a blocked user have previously made what were construed as death threats at Younus AlGohar. See User talk:Stragewarior and follow the breadcrumbs in the article history. Esowteric+Talk 16:45, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support, I am sure the protecting Admin would agree to that. Off2riorob (talk) 16:47, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Given the overwhelming evidence presented here, with clear examples of abusive sockpupptry and a disturbing case of what looks like a thinly-veiled death threat against an article subject, I think an indefinite block is fully warranted. — Scientizzle 18:08, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments
Clerk note: any reason why this user didn't have shown up in the previous checkuser? If not then I'm inclined to lean towards suspecting this is more likely to be a friend/associate, in which case AN/I would be a more appropriate venue, SpitfireTally-ho! 11:26, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- AN/I is a page for reporting and discussing incidents on the English Wikipedia that require the intervention of administrators. Click here to open a new section. SpitfireTally-ho! 11:48, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Many tnx, have done so. With apologies for the typo in the heading, interested parties see Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User: Falconkhe and User:Asikhi. Esowteric+Talk 12:01, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
{{RFCU}} is deprecated. Please change the case status parameter in {{SPI case status}} to "CURequest" instead.
- Checkuser request – code letter: E (Community ban/sanction evasion )
Clerk note: I'm going to go over your head here Spitfire, actually. Asikhi might very well have been caught by a checkuser, but nothing was reported because he had only made a dozen or so edits within the range of the checkuser, nothing in particular of which links him to Falconkhe. I am going to Clerk endorsed a checkuser here; if nothing turns up, we can evaluate for WP:MEAT violations. NW (Talk) 12:17, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Confirmed. Again, unambiguous. --jpgordon::==( o ) 16:26, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Indef blocked... — Scientizzle 16:51, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- By the way, indeed, this username showed up with the others, but didn't seem recently active, so I left a bit of rope. --jpgordon::==( o ) 16:57, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Would you mind taking a look at Iamsaa (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)? Seems likely based on history and recent patterns of interactions... — Scientizzle 17:06, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, that one too. Not sure why I didn't add it to the list originally. Perhaps I was in a sloppy mood! --jpgordon::==( o ) 17:20, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks...this has really cleared up a lot. I'm off to block that one, too. — Scientizzle 17:21, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- This is a shot in the dark. What about User talk:Stragewarior? User talk. Please unblock me "Because this is my aim of life to not spare the lier and Younus and MFI is a lie." I bring this up because edits by the user and IPs were construed as death threats. Esowteric+Talk 17:25, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Good eye. Same IP, same day edits as one of them. To add some ammo: any time more than one username has been on any of the IPs I've found, it's only been one from the list we've put together here (in other words, none of these are "a lot of people on the IP, and it included these ones.") --jpgordon::==( o ) 17:56, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- What a day! Many thanks. Then falconkhe must surely be indefinitely blocked? Esowteric+Talk 17:58, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, full support. Considering all of this I would request raising of the block of the sock master Falconkhe to indefinite. Off2riorob (talk) 18:01, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
