Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

Was edit warring on Insurgency in Balochistan,[1][2] and once he got warned over 1RR rule,[3] he is now using this newly created sock to evade 1RR.[4]

Since the suspected sockmaster has admitted that he proxy for Nangparbat,[5] a banned LTA (SPI page, LTA page), it is possible that the suspected sock can be Nangparbat. Orientls (talk) 12:16, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Orientls I don't understand your assertion about proxying for Nangparbat. Where does it say that in the diff you cited? -- RoySmith (talk) 14:47, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@RoySmith: Nangparbat was socking on Women's rights in Jammu and Kashmir,[6][7][8] but after the page was protected and his account (Himachal78) was blocked [9][10] Abbasi786786 magically turned up on this page to continue the edit war by the LTA,[11] and was asked how he came here[12] to which he replied "Hi there. I was informed by an acquaintance outside Wikipedia that vandalism was occurring on this article and decided to step in."[13] It looks evident that the suspected sock here can be Nangparbat too since both these users Nangparbat and Abbasi786786 are colluding. Orientls (talk) 16:37, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still confused. Even assuming that the statement you quoted is actually evidence that Abbasi786786 is a Nangparbat sock, how does that say anything about Tremor0? -- RoySmith (talk) 19:06, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@RoySmith: Abbasi786786 is not a sock of Nangparbat, only WP:PROXYING for him. Tremor0 can be a sock of Abbasi786786 or Nangparbat. Here are the 2 possibilities: 1) Tremor0 was created by Abbasi786786 to evade 1RR on Insurgency in Balochistan, 2) Tremor0 was created by Nangparbat to help Abbasi786786 to help in edit war because both are evidently colluding off-wiki.

"Proxying" implies there are no independent reasons for someone to work on an article. I do have independent reasons to stop the vandalism you lot try to get through. As would most people.

In fact, already on this most recent "Balochistan Insurgency" article I have created a section on the Talk page explaining the rationale for clarifying the Insurgency as "low-level". I also have had this article on my watch list for about a year now.

I do not approve of bypassing the revert rule and do not have connections with Tremor0 who reverted your edit (after you already did lol, should we check if you're a sockpuppet of AnM?).

Instead of engaging with me properly on the talk page, you are making accusations with the administrators lol.

The same thing happened on the Jammu and Kashmir women's article, which I bang up plenty of reasons to revert your vandalism in the Talk page independently.

You all can go ahead and check me for IP sticking, I fully approve. I know you'll find nothing. -- Abbasi786786 (talk) 11:03, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

Created just 1 day after the last sockfarm was blocked.

Same tactics of disparaging opposing editor by attacking them as "Indian",[14][15] and still believes that a person who edits in the given area is not in a position to hand out DS alert.[16][17]

Adding Heauwo0 because this account too made his first edit by removing about crimes on British Pakistani[18] a lot like 90tillinfinitydue.[19]

Ping Girth Summit who did the last check. There must be yet another sockfarm like last 2 times. Orientls (talk) 12:18, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

Reactivated just 1 day after last sockfarm was blocked.

Same tactics of smearing edits as "agenda driven" to whitewash Pakistan,[20][21] while alleging India of misconduct just to deflect from Pakistan.[22][23]

Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

Brief: Pl. check dif 1 by ImmortalTruthIII & dif2 by 39.43.253.162 in relation blocked sock Special:Contributions/VikrahmSeth1991 & Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Nangparbat
Details: On 30th July there was some identified sock Special:Contributions/VikrahmSeth1991 edits @ Tourism in Pakistan & Talk:Tourism in Pakistan. Sock VikrahmSeth1991 was identified and reverted by other users. The sourced content which was not liked by sock was previously added by me. But since I was unaware that talk page post is sock, I prepared partial response in my own sandbox. Though sandbox was named in unrelated manner on July 3 a newly opened account User:ImmortalTruthIII edited my sandbox to give targeted reply wide their message dif with misplaced personal aspersions and Whataboutism. In good faith I replied @ User talk:ImmortalTruthIII and posted @ User talk:Girth Summit to keep them informed (but probably they traveling and not around per their talk page). I would have allowed the matter to rest there but a day before I have received an email from Indian sounding email name and asking for my email address and email sent talk page message came from 39.43.253.162 wide their message dif. You can check 39.43.253.162 for who is. Though email is civil but going beyond Wikipedia allowed purpose and asking email address might be an attempt of probable phishing. Idk if WP policy allows me to share Username used for sending email. If allowed I will give details here. I wish and request CU checks if these episodes are related and in case inappropriate then do the needful.

Still socking on 1947 Mirpur massacre like before.[24][25] Orientls (talk) 12:54, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@RoySmith: Iglooqw9 and JohnnyNep made same reverts against same editor[26][27] so this one needs to be blocked, while Sameosdinaa has made edits to Indian cuisines articles with the same POV as JohnnyNep.[28][29] These both accounts should be blocked too.

  •  Clerk endorsed - I also noticed this talk page comment [32] which references conflicts that the Nangparbat socks Veland.Ak, Taxia4 and Zinceraser were having with another group of socks on food articles ([33][34]). The first two accounts were blocked but not CU'd, as far as I know, so I've added them to the sock list for reference. Worth a check for others given how many accounts they seem to have created recently. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 13:20, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Clerk assistance requested: - Technically, Rahulama is the oldest account. We might as well as move it as the case is new. Also, the accounts should be tagged. Perhaps Drmies can provide some guidance on the appropriate tags, at least for the ones they CU-blocked. Bbb23 (talk) 14:31, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry if I misread dates. They're all CU-confirmed to each other. Drmies (talk) 16:48, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Drmies, do these accounts have any technical relationship with WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Nangparbat/Archive? They seem to have a similar POV and a similar feud with Prince of Roblox. Spicy (talk) 19:11, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Oh, Spicy, I don't know that--I didn't see anything, any accounts with tags, that pointed in that direction--but I don't think I am familiar with that sockmaster at all. Sorry, Drmies (talk) 19:42, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Spicy: Good catch. These are  Confirmed (or very close to confirmed) to confirmed Nangparbat socks. --Blablubbs (talk) 19:47, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • Spicy, I also checked and I think they are the one, yes. Drmies (talk) 20:07, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

Blocked socks of Nangparbat were also known for making personal attacks on Talk:British Pakistanis[48] so RishiSlumDog (who should be blocked for username violation alone for picking a racist name[49]) should be checked at least.
I added User:2a02:c7c:6782:7a00:8cf:cab1:c2d1:b44e who is making the same personal attacks as Nangparbat does. "this is the type of editing synonymous with the toxic religious nationalism prevalent in India today"[50] vs above report where he attacks editors for being "nationalist".
Also added User:149.241.164.170 since he admits to be above IP.[51] Ping Girth Summit. Capitals00 (talk) 16:31, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Quite an overlap with the last sock MahisoeoEk.

The edit summaries and restoration of the previous socks edits are very obvious giveaways and a simple perusal of the interaction between these two will make it clear.  Looks like a duck to me.

Account was created five days after (25 Dec) Mrdabalina (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) (another sock of Nangparbat)was blocked (20 Dec). Both edited my talk page, and edited as well as reverted my reverts/edits on Child sexual abuse (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) (article & talk) and Separatist movements of Pakistan (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) (article only). Arguments in ES for reverts are similar. Only other article / talk edited by Xalimo is Pamir Mountains (article & talk). Adakiko (talk) 01:22, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
