- Throw-away name suggests "I don't care just let me edit"-style block evasion.
- Here, Clownfish0007 (a CU-confirmed sock of Pakistanpedia) uses the distinctive "{Turkish}" faux parenthetical. Same distinctive formatting here by Fdsg*
- Urdu 1 appears to be a hotbed of activity for this guy, along with some other sock operators.
- Fdsg* has created about 3 really poor articles, and I'm getting a paid editor vibe from him. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:33, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Both of these are accounts with an exclusive interest in Pakistani cinema, focused primarily on uploading images, and doing so without regard for copyright. Hammy continued Nawaz's pattern of uploading images for the Lux Style Awards. (Compare File:12LuxStyleawards.jpg and File:11Luxstyleawards.jpeg to File:10LuxAwards.jpg and File:9thLuxAwards.jpg. I suspect they reuploaded File:SabaQamar.jpg at File:SabaQamarZaman.jpeg. There are also some similarities in their choice of file names.

So pinging Saqib who originally filed a request under another SPI as I'm fairly sure this is Pakistanpedia. Rahul134 uploaded this photo as own work on commons, same as CU blocked Clownfish0007 with significant overlapping interest in subject matter as several of Pakistanpedia's socks (as well as International Editor Shah. There's also significant overlap with DavidJoseph3345 and Emanuel223 who have significant overlap with this master as well as the one I mentioned earliler. In addition almost all of their contribs intersect with one of the named socks in this instance and several of Pakistanpedia's socks and creation of Zara Noor Abbas. Also there's the obvious naming structure for at least this group... CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 18:45, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
- I'm also wondering if perhaps Nawaz2435 is actually a sock of Pakistanpedia, as it doesn't look like a CU was run but the behavior, topics and now naming convention all fit with Pakistanpedia. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 18:52, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

- A single purpose account which has done nothing other than trying to prevent deletion of various pages created by Pakistanpedia sockpuppets, so no doubt about it. I have blocked the account. However, I notice that this account was a sleeper, created well before the recent CheckUser, but not picked up in that check. That raises the question that there may be more missed sleepers, perhaps linkable to this account, so I am leaving the request for CheckUser in place.

Emanuel223 account was created on the same day User:Anonymous5050 was blocked for vandalism purpose. Emanuel223 did copyright violations and some vandalism to Mahira Khan under new account.. Today created BLP on a non-notable person Zara Noor Abbas - which was earlier created by the master account. Very likely these could be socks of User:SahabAliwadia (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/SahabAliwadia/Archive) with whom this user share interests and who also tried creating BLP on Zara Noor Abbas.

Alifahim2018: WP:SPA that created Mah-e-Tamaam, which was then moved to mainspace by blocked sock User:Assddffgg.
Coutygirl: rapid de-prod of Mah-e-Tamaam [3] and de-speedy of Parchayee [4], followed by this rationale at prodder/speedier's talk page. Now moaning mightily at my talk page, following my reversion of sockpuppet additions to Qavi Khan, and attempting to re-add unsourced sockpuppet additions piecemeal: [5], [6]. Remaining edit history is nearly all to articles created or edited by blocked and new socks: [7], [8], [9], [10], etc. The Mighty Glen (talk) 05:30, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
- Also requesting CU for sleepers: these seem to have been found with each report on this SPI. The Mighty Glen (talk) 07:42, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
Lillyput4455: see multiple mentions in archive. More recently, re-created Champa Aur Chambeli and Kiran (Geo Kahani) at Kiran (drama). Lillyput4455 often turns up within minutes of an edit by User:Coutygirl: [11].
SahabAliwadia: this account is already indeffed for disruptive behavior, but I notice that this account re-created Anum Fayyaz at Draft:Anum Fayyaz, which was then moved to mainspace by blocked sock User:Assddffgg [12], and then edited the same day by User:Coutygirl [13] and User:Lillyput4455 45 minutes after User:Coutygirl: [14]. The Mighty Glen (talk) 12:08, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
Also worth noting that Noor ul Ain was re-created at Draft:Noor ul Ain by an IP sock in typical range used with many of these recreated articles, and moved to mainspace in good faith by an apparently unrelated editor. This has happened a few times with articles db-g5'd by previous socks. I've tagged that for db-g5. The Mighty Glen (talk) 12:10, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
Mohib2000: currently blocked for a week for disruptive editing. Edited Natak (TV series) 45 minutes after blocked sock User:Assddffgg: [15], and same day as blocked article creator User:Ghaddd. Edited Iqra Aziz half hour after blocked sock User:Assddffgg [16], and was reverted by Cluebot. Edited Aamina Sheikh, a frequent target of these socks, minutes after an IP sock from the abovementioned range: [17]. This edit was reverted by Cluebot, after which this account started the random large blanking that it was blocked for, first at this article and then others.

New account Aisha1khan re-added links to articles Lahore Se Aagey and Verna (film) in Aima Baig, [20], and which were removed in yesterday's reversion of blocked sock Lovesinging's sockpuppetry: [21]. All three articles are frequent and recent targets of puppeteer, under blocked accounts Coutygirl [22] and Lovesinging [23]. The Mighty Glen (talk) 16:16, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
New account Mkak2018 created Draft:Minal Khan, which links to db-g5'd Parchayee . Anonymous sock 119.160.118.192, from one of puppeteer's habitual IP ranges, resumed editing this a few hours later, a day after the same anon IP asked User:Primefac to undelete Parchayee, and namedropping likely meatpuppet User:Kuchnaya: [24]. Primefac's reply is also worth a read: [25]. The Mighty Glen (talk) 16:27, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
An IP sock from the same subnet is also re-creating The After Moon Show at Draft:The After Moon Show. Might be time for a range block. The Mighty Glen (talk) 17:42, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
IP sock 119.160.118.192 also resumed editing newly re-created Khasara, shortly after its re-creation by meatpuppet Kuchnaya: [26], with next edit same day by blocked sock Lovesinging: [27]. And Kuchnaya has just removed the AFC templates from Draft:Ishq Tamasha: [28]. This draft to replace db-g5'd Ishq Tamasha was created by two anon socks from a different range from the above, but the link is still clear enough. The Mighty Glen (talk) 04:57, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

- If Aisha1khan is a sock in this case, the master has clearly moved on too new socks, and is unlikely to return to this account. I think this can be safely closed without further action. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:44, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Almost immediately following the block of Anuradha212, this account pops up recreating several of this masters/socks articles and redirects. Plus the obvious overlapping interest in subjects like Dil Se Dil Tak.
Recreations: Benafsha Soonawalla, Lucinda Nicholas and strangely a few by an old sock, The Creator vr.03 as well as Pritam Singh RJ by Arunsingh2728. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 19:48, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Adding duck User:Lovesinging, no creations yet but edits have been to all the usual targets, e.g. here account adds blog ref and rm BLP sources tag from Iqra Aziz: [29]. Requesting check for more sleepers. The Mighty Glen (talk) 08:14, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- Draft:Bilal Abbas Khan was created by sock IPs from the usual domains. Immediately after it was moved to main space (in good faith by an unrelated editor), Lovesinging started linking it everywhere: [30], [31], [32], etc. Promptly removed my g5 speedy tag from Bilal Abbas Khan: [33]. Account then bizarrely attempts to report me for vandalism at WP:UAA: [34]. The Mighty Glen (talk) 14:14, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- I dont know how to write and whats wrong going there, but you are tagging Bilal Abbas Khan, just because you have suspect on me of sock. Well i am not sock and its up to admin. I only did one edit to Bilal Abbas Khan and thats why you tagging that article for deletion. And i report you because i dont understand your motive of tagging him for deletion and after i checking your edit history i found you only revert back edits on Pakistan related articles whether those edits were done by me or other editors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lovesinging (talk • contribs) 14:32, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
Adding 175.110.247.121 and User:Dhaminshah Singh. Today IP socks 175.110.247.121 and 119.160.118.85 added redlinks to List of programs broadcast by Hum TV for deleted articles Mah-e-Tamaam [35], Parchayee and Zanmureed [36], and Ishq Tamasha [37], all from previous socks. Reversion was immediately followed by re-addition by 119.160.118.224 [38],[39]. My second reversion was followed 6 hours later by 175.110.247.121 re-adding just a single redlink for Mah-e-Tamaam [40].
Eleven minutes after I revert this, in its second edit since February User:Dhaminshah Singh comes back to life and creates a nearly empty stub of Mah-e-Tamaam [41], and then re-adds the link to it from List of programs broadcast by Hum TV [42]. An uninvolved editor correctly moves this to Draft:Mah-e-Tamaam, and User:Dhaminshah Singh resumes editing there [43]. Same account then recreates the stub in mainspace [44], and 175.110.247.121 resumes editing there [45]. The Mighty Glen (talk) 22:22, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
Other behaviour worth noting: User:Dhaminshah Singh attempted re-creation of AFD'd Bilal Abbas Khan a week after account creation in December. This was immediately G4'd and salted, with the salt expiring... yesterday. 175.110.247.121 has a long history of similar warnings for behaviour identical to that of puppeteer, persistently adding unsourced claims to Iqra Aziz, Naagin (TV series), Sana Javed, etc.: see current talk page. All frequent targets of this puppeteer. Also, above I mentioned that re-creation of Mah-e-Tamaam was User:Dhaminshah Singhs second edit since February: previous edit was this link fix [46] of this unsourced addition [47] by 175.110.247.121 an hour earlier at Maya Ali.

Both users contribute same type of articles (Pakistani drama actors and TV series). They create articles in same style (add OR and use unreliable sources to support claims) and upload free-use images on Wikipedia with same descriptions. They both use mobile device, often sign their comments in same way (no time and date stamp) and both blank their user talk pages to remove warning messages by the bots.
When I nom for deletion a BLP Mizna Waqas. User:RidaJunejo voted keep, saying the subject played prominent role in Peek-A-Boo Shahwaiz. Peek-A-Boo Shahwaiz was created by master account and have zero WP:N. --Saqib (talk) 13:41, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
- User:Saqib, actually users related to Pakistani television or who oftenly editing Pakistani television are very few and these days users are quite absence from wikipidea excluding me and Lillyput4455. About the actors you said, i was only interested in Pakistani female actresses thats why expanded them and with proper sources. Mizna Waqas is one of them whom i liked and i was just her fan. And if you talking about Lillyput4455 then i think you wont noticed that they are oftenly interested in creating articles that aired or airing Geo Entertainment. He is special interests in Geo TV but i dont have. I am only fan of Pakistani television. RidaJunejo (talk) 13:56, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

- yes i have account which i stated below, i saw lillyput creations on Xtool because i am following wikipidea from the few years and started editing last year because of my passion. I also know User:M.Billoo2000 from my previous id User:Nawaz2435 and following him because i just wanted them to do something for Pak entertainment and today you can see user:M.Billoo2000 has doing excellent work for Pakistani films but there was lack of users in Television thats why i joined account and being one of them. My only mistake was i created new account instead of trying of requesting unblocking the olds, (User:Nawaz2435), and (user:Hammy2537).RidaJunejo (talk) 14:09, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

- I am not the sock of User:Lillyput4455, its my only account, if i was there sock then why i replied to them or post message on their talkpage. Secondly i am sorry because i think my comments on Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Mizna_Waqas made user:Saqib written this. About free images, I was only created free image of Minal Khan at Minal Khan.png in my early days and after User:SamHolt6 warn me about this here [48] i never upload any free image after that. Third i never remove any warning messages but only RonBot messages of images, check this removals [49], [50], [51] [52] and [53]. RidaJunejo (talk) 13:48, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you for clarification, however I am still convinced both accounts are being operated by the same person and master account is definitely a sock of some banned accounts. --Saqib (talk) 13:52, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
- I am not the sock of user:lillyput4455 nor both accounts operated by the same person. Earlier before this ID i have two accounts which were blocked, but i have never done any block evasion from this account. After the creation of this ID, i just newly started my editing and you can see i never done any copyright violations nor done editing without source or unreliable sources. Its my mistake that i dont request admin about unblocked from previous and started new one but please forgive me. Being fan of Pakistani entertainment i am passionate about there editings and done this mistake.RidaJunejo (talk) 14:03, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Created Darr Khuda Say, Tu Ishq Hai and Noor Bibi on 13 Sept., all articles were previously created by User:Dramanrama who was asserted to be User:Pakistanpedia's sock in the deletion log of Tu Ishq Hai by JJMC89.

Of the new versions of these articles Ive only reviewed the latest version of Noor Bibi which was also previously created by user:Knightrises10 who was unconnected to pakistanapedia so there is precious little evidence presented here in this lazy spi. Also note that I only reviewed any articles before the creators were blocked so any connection implied is very wide of the mark Atlantic306 (talk) 14:54, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- Atlantic306, I am not implying connection. I have seen you around, and always been impressed by your work.

This is a huge farm so it's entirely possible it's meat but it appears that MeemeeAi has the same level of competence (or lack of) as past socks and has several dozen Pakistanpedia creations, such as Draft:Madiha Rizvi (Madiha Rizvi), Draft:Kamran Jilani (Kamran Jilani), Draft:Yasir Shoro, Draft:Adnan Jilani and this is just in their last 5 edits - I could go on as nearly every draft is a recreation of this farms work.

- Urwa Hocane has also seen a number of edits by the sockmaster. The suspected sock has also edited that article. But to be fair, a number of sock operators have edited that article. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:57, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

- I'll also note that Rani Nokrani was created as a redirect by the sockmaster, not as an article. Similar with Osama Tahir. And assuming that the anon IP who also edited the Tahir article was the sockmaster, the quality of their work looks better than the current version of the draft article. Meaning that the current user doesn't appear to be as skilled as the sockmaster. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:48, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

- Relatively new user who has jumped quickly into editing, including article creation.
- Creation of user page soon after they started editing.
- Has created 7 articles, one of them they recreated after it was deleted.
- Appears to to have created articles that Pakistanpedia socks either created before or created redirects for. See O Saathi, Jo Tu Na Mila. These were all redirects created by a Pakistanpedia sock.
- Baarishein was previously an article created by Pakistanpedia.
- Also of note though, Pachtaoge was previously edited heavily by a sock of Vc4137 so that might be another account to check this new user against.
- At this deleted draft, the new user makes several edits, but early edits were from a Pakistani IP.

- Comment I was thinking about doing just this earlier today for the same reasons mentioned. Too much similarity to prior socks based on article creation (might be worth looking at deleted version to see how similar the writing style it), the copyright violations from Empire AS which mirror the copyright issues Pakistanipedia had (and has continued to have as they socked) and the editing focus. I'm honestly fairly surprised by the CU results. Ravensfire (talk) 20:51, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Isn't that interesting that Memon KutianaWala (talk · contribs) and MeemeeAi (talk · contribs) a confirmed blocked sock of Pakistanpedia were editing the Draft:Nabeel Zuberi at the same time.

This now-blocked sockpuppeteer has created articles on Haroon Kadwani at least twice. Pakistanpedia and their sockpuppets have also developed multiple drafts and articles on Haroon Kadwani.

- I buy that Alexandra is loutsocking on Special:Contribs/39.46.223.126/18, which merits a warning, as it's continuing as of the 17th. As to whether Alexandra is a sock of Pakistanpedia, I don't know. This filing doesn't present enough information to reach a conclusion. "same IP range" here means two /16s away from the last one, and that combined with the focus on Pakistani entertainer's photos is persuasive, but not enough for a block on its own.
