Suspected sockpuppets

Sockmaster and puppets are all WP:SPA, focusing on Nicholas Alahverdian, Alahverdian v. Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth and Families, et al, and articles of BLPs related to those two articles. See user contributions here, here, here, and here. Sdcha is currently blocked for disruptive editing. See ANI on subject. IPs have the same pattern of editing, here, here, and here. IP2 does have other edits and may be a dynamic IP. Otherwise, it looks like a duck. GregJackP Boomer! 02:28, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

All parties have been notified of this SPI. GregJackP Boomer! 02:42, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Added Photoscoot. It may be useful to ask a Commons checkuser to look at these same accounts. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 02:58, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Added Handcart saint and Fig daisy. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 03:19, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fred newman is now blanking the AFD notice on Nicholas Alahverdian, just like Sdcha was doing prior to being blocked. Here is the diff (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nicholas_Alahverdian&diff=prev&oldid=568882985) Vandalizing edit summaries with swear words as well. Very similar behavior, if you ask me. NewAccount4Me (talk) 04:30, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Again, user has blanked two closed AfDs on the above articles, leading to another ANI and 12-hour ban. Again, this is very similar behavior undertaken by his now-banned suspected sock Sdcha, occurring on the very same pages. NewAccount4Me (talk) 22:01, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Based on master's prior sockfarm attempts to save Nicholas Alahverdian from deletion, and the fact that this new sock produced a brand new, fully cited article in a single edit on their first ever Wikipedia edit. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:50, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
