Extreme similarities between these two, 40 pages in common, the most striking one is Kolyma Hydroelectric Station which was created by Power22 about a dam in Russia, see diff Both users edit mostly Pashtun articles but they somehow have this page about a Russian dam in common as well. They have seen to promote Pashtun nationalist POV at whatever cost it may be. One example of a similar edit is on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa page, see diff (Adilswati) and see diff (Power22). Earlier today Power22 used an extremely abusive summary line containing f-words in it which was removed administratively, see diff. As always, please check for sleepers.

 * More diffs:

 Sh eri ff  |  ☎ 911  | 08:51, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Peshawar (removed Punjabi language): Power22 (diff), Adilswati (diff)
 * Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (removed same text): Power22 (diff), Adilswati (diff)
 * Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (removed same languages): Power22 (diff), Adilswati (diff)


 * SUL data:

SUL data shows contributions to same wikis for both users e.g. English Wikipedia, Wikimedia, Wikivoyage and Wikidata: I am willing to provide more evidence if that is not enough.  Sh eri ff  |  ☎ 911  | 13:32, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Power22 (SUL)
 * Adilswati (SUL)


 * Filter log:

Filter log shows similar interests as well, for example they both created pages about lakes, Power22 created Daral Lake while Adilswati created Jabba Zomalu Lake and Saidgai Lake, all of them being in Swat Valley.  Sh eri ff  |  ☎ 911  | 13:53, 3 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Comparison between Tusikhanzir & others:


 * Peshawar (similar summary line "minority language could not be kept"): Power22 (diff), Tusikhanzir (diff)
 * Misspelling ("informations" in summary line): Power22 (diff), Tusikhanzir (diff), Adilswati (diff 1, diff 2, diff 3, diff 4, diff 5)
 * Use of the word "exaggerated" in summary line: Power22 (diff), Tusikhanzir (diff)

Except that, Tusikhanzir only has 17 edits, not much to go by, other similarities are that he seems to remove Punjabi language and replace it with Saraiki language which is a dialect of Punjabi, similar behavior displayed by Adilswati and Power22, I will see if i can get more diffs where Power22 and Adilswati are replacing Punjabi with Saraiki but honestly Tusikhanzir should be blocked because of his offensive username if nothing else. Update: Found that, all three user accounts use "past sentence" in their summary lines, for example "informations updated, informations added, could not be kept" etc.  Sh eri ff  |  ☎ 911  | 20:56, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Power22 and Adilswati use very similar edit summaries:
 * "image & info updation" ,
 * Generally, compound statements, often linked by an ampersand, and "updation"., , , . Geogene (talk) 02:47, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

 * We need more supporting evidence than that to consider a check right now. Editing similar pages isn't all that uncommon. It would be more helpful if you provide diffs that support a behavioral connection. Also, when using the editor interaction analyzer you'll need to examine the diffs and present the ones that support your case. After all, you and I share more than a hundred edit over a handful of pages and obviously we're separate individuals. Mike V • Talk 20:55, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I did provide one diff for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa where same information from "Etymology" section is removed by both editors. How many more should i get?  Sh eri ff  |  ☎ 911  | 21:01, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I added some more diffs, let me know if you need more.  Sh eri ff  |  ☎ 911  | 14:01, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * You may also include Users HassanKhan95 and Usmankhan plus few mobile based IPs including recent one same edit summries with comments showing Pashtun nationalist edits against Punjabi etc. 39.32.33.213 (talk) 02:26, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Here comes the confession from sock IP 69.42.58.191 . Power92 and Hassankhan95 were the users who were fighting Pashtun nationalist edit war so this IP is clearly confessing being  sock of these users. Another IP joins the club of nationalist edit war IP 2.89.242.201  and new user Quettawal.


 * The following accounts are between and very likely to each other:
 * Before I take any action,, please provide a behavioral analysis with diffs of Tusikhanzir. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:06, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I will start comparing the accounts right away but what i can tell you without an analysis is that "Tusikhanzir" is a combination of two Punjabi language words "Tusi" and "Khanzir" literally meaning "You pigs". The user seems to make pro-Pashtun edits and User:Power22 made an edit with a very offensive summary line in which among a combination of f-words, he referred to Punjabis as "pigbies" referring them as pigs. That diff was provided in initial evidence.  Sh eri ff  |  ☎ 911  | 20:19, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Duck by name alone. Numerous areas of intersection in articles related to lakes and the Swat region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan. The sock professes to have a passion for tourism. The sockmaster added an inappropriately flowery description of Laram Top when he created the article, "The Top receives heavy snow fall during winter season and attract a lot of tourists to its lap for a cool feeling in the sizzling heat of summer." Similar fluff about the allure of the region was silently added back in this edit after Yamaguchi removed it. User has been indeffed. Closing. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:45, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
