I'm fairly certain that NadirAli (talk · · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki), besides proxy editing for Towns Hill (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), (see evidence at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#NadirAli) is also socking. I believe that Xinjao (talk · · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) is his sock. Here's the evidence:
Both have the same writing style, same signature style (--~~~~), share the same POV, same edit-warring tendencies, and so on.
- On 20 September 2017, after almost half a month of inactivity Xinjao showed up out of nowhere to vote "keep" at Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2017 September 19#File:1965_War_the_Australian_Newspaper.jpg (which I nominated for deletion).[1] Then, some nine hours later,[2] NadirAli too mysteriously showed up to vote "keep"[3] Worth noting here is that NadirAli voted "keep" just a few minutes after Kautilya3 voted "delete"[4] This obviously means that Nadirali had that Ffd page on his watchlist prior to that time. I had only mentioned about the nomination on my talk page,[5] and up until then I had never interacted with Xinjao so it's very unlikely that he could have my talk page on his watchlist. Which makes it highly suspicious. How on earth did they both showed up at the Ffd page?
- Edit-warring on Hindustan; Nadirali was edit-warring with Fundamental metric tensor to remove content which he didn't like.[6][7] Kautilya3 intervened and reverted Nadirali, telling him to cease his disruptive edit-warring and come to talk.[8] Then, some time later, Xinjao show up out of nowhere to revert back to Nadirali's preferred version of the article, saying: Same goes to you. Use talk page and stop adding unsourced statements (It looks as though Nadirali used his sock account to escape a trip to WP:AN3) Then a couple days later, Xinjao shows up again to "agree with NadirAli" on the article's talk page, echoing Nadirali's arguments.[9][10][11] Xinjao then disappears and Nadirali continues edit-warring[12]
- Xinjao account created on 30 September 2007, just ten days after Distell (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) (CU confirmed sock of Nadirali) was blocked. This fits the modus operandi of NadirAli's confirmed socks such as Vmrgrsergr (created soon after Nadirali was banned for a year), Distell (created a month after Vmrgrsergr was blocked), Shotty707 (created one and a half month after previous sock was blocked).
- A thorough glance at the contribution history of Nadirali and Xinjao shows that they both are obsessed with replacing the terms like "Ancient India", "Greater India", "Indian subcontinent" "Iron age India", etc, with "ancient pakistan", "south asia"... Xinjao's very first edit,[13] which he made on Talk:Chinese civilization just a minute after registering an account, was to ask for removing "the reference to India" from the "opening paragraph of the history section" (.. the others being Mesopotamia, Ancient India (Indus Valley Civilization)).
- More WP:DUCK Evidence
- Both NadirAli and Xinjao edited Unre4L's userpage (who, along with Nadirali and a few other accounts, was sanctioned by the ARBCOM in 2007[14]); Nadirali added a template ({{User Pakistani}}) on Unre4L's userpage. Xinjao restored an earlier version of Unre4L's userpage[15] which had a barnstar given by Nadirali and also the Pakistani template.
- [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] – Quack! Quack!
- On Pāṇini; Both readily edit-warred by repeateadly removing:
"was an [[Iron Age India|ancient Indian]]"
and replacing it by"was a [[South Asian]]"
/"was an [[History of Pakistan|ancient Pakistani]]"
.[27]-[28]-[29]-[30]-[31], [32]-[33] - Both accounts made similar POV-pushing edits on Alexander the Great; showing same obsession to replace word "India" with "Pakistan"/"South Asia", etc using similar edit summaries:
- Similar activities on History of Balochistan,[34] Indus River[35][36]
- Both share the same opinion that India did not exist before 1947,[37][38][39][40][41] Pakistan was never part of India,[42][43][44][45]
- Both have a habit of falsely accusing other established editors of "vandalism",[46][47][48][49] (note the similar aggressive tone) threatening to report editors who disagree with them.[50][51][52][53][54]
- Similar edit-summaries:
- NadirAli:
what the hell makes him an "anicent Indian"?????
(Note the excessive use of question marks) - Xinjao:
Seriously, what is the "Ancient Indian" period??? next person to vandalise this article will be reported

- I think it's worth mentioning that although Xinjao is an old account, he has just 334 edits in total,[59] majority of which he made during the later part of the last decade — when NadirAli was blocked and socking actively.[60] —MBL Talk 14:50, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
