Page moves, subject area, some beans which make me 100% sure it's them (e-mail me to discuss these if needed). Thanks, ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 14:42, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
@Primefac: behaviorally the account LolingTom also clearly is SheryOfficial, per the usual page moves, subject areas and beans I'm willing to discuss via e-mail with any admin or clerk. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 17:20, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

- LolingTom's global lock is as a sock of Xpërt100, which is tagged here on enwiki as a confirmed sock of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dr Sachin Kapur Fanclub.
So some sort of merging seems to be needed.(Edit: Apaugasma's reply is sensible.) SilverLocust 💬 07:26, 10 June 2024 (UTC)- I could be mistaken, but I don't think that Xpërt100 is SheryOfficial. I'm more inclined to think that the identification of LolingTom as Xpërt100 on Simple English Wikipedia is wrong. In any case I don't think it's a good idea to go for a merge without some more digging. Whether it's actually worth digging into, I'm not sure. The only thing that I can say I'm 100% of is that LolingTom is SheryOfficial. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 14:30, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

- I ran a check, and oddly enough they are
Confirmed to globally-locked LolingTom but I'm not seeing any direct connection to this master. Primefac (talk) 16:12, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- There seems to be considerable overlap between these two investigations, but in the end it doesn't really matter. Closing. – bradv 18:50, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

All the usual: focus on page moves, subject areas, and beans I'm willing to discuss with any clerk or admin via e-mail. I'm 100% certain it's them. Thanks, ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 19:58, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Yup, this is SheryOfficial, eg [1] [2]. Please rollback all their edits. --HistoryofIran (talk) 20:07, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- They just admitted to socking [3]. HistoryofIran (talk) 21:22, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

- Also confirmed to User:LolingTom! And to User:Sharekizek. Primefac, I'm not sure how to tag these and I'm wondering if perhaps you can have a look to see if the four ranges (three are already blocked) are candidates for a hard block, esp. considering that last comment of theirs, linked above.

- Closing. A range-block may be necessary, but I'm not seeing an obvious one to make at the moment. – bradv 18:51, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Another new user (created 19 hours after ProudRafidi's block) at WP:RM/TR who is requesting the restoration of a reverted move by blocked sock CanadianFolks (and is already familiar with reverting sockpuppetry after having this account for 3 days). Same subject interests. SilverLocust 💬 00:42, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Found the smoking gun, reverted Apaugasma to restore the edit of a sock of SheryOfficial [4] [5], please rollback all their edits. EDIT: Here's another one [6] [7]. --HistoryofIran (talk) 15:51, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

- Closing. I have blocked Shqiptër4, although it's not obvious whether the account belongs to SheryOfficial or Xpërt100. (They are also confirmed to User:LolingTom, fwiw). – bradv 18:53, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
