Apart from editing the same range of topics and even the same articles, they somehow manage to find a thread among countless others on Talk:Kirkuk posted by a blocked sock, House of tabooleh, and agree with them completely. They happen to be edit-warring on Sulaiman Bek, an article that was previously subject to edit-warring with regard to the same POV by various IPs and globally locked accounts. On Al-Bayati, shortly after an IP restores House of Tabooleh's reverted insertions, Mteiritay "expands" article a few days later in the very same manner as the IP with OR or poor sources.

- Another "coincidence": Blocked sock Ibnquhis "expands" a template with the exact same edit summary which Mteiritay and previous socks and IPs have incessantly used. They have linked Al-Bayati there, a page that Mteiritay has recently edited as pointed out above, which includes the addition of the aforementioned template.

- I couldn't add all the socks to the interaction utility, but this might still give an idea. Mteiritay's very first edit to English Wikipedia was Uday Hussein, a popular article among the socks (aka sock magnet). Among many others, a confirmed sock 3Oh Hexelon appears to have made 23 edits to that article. Aintabli (talk) 18:34, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Zero doubt that this IP is being used by the sockmaster to evade the block. A quick a glimpse of their edit history reveals that they are overusing "expand" in their edit summaries, a behavioral pattern in most of the socks, even though many of their edits would not qualify as an expansion but simple redundancy. Their primary interest is Iraq like all the other socks. They appear to be promoting the same POV in their edits and edit the very same pages (disambiguations, surnames, etc. with little traffic).
