I was thinking about reporting this sock abuser already some time ago, but due to the lack of time, I didn't manage to do so. Basically; they all edit the exact same topics, the accounts are made in rapid succession of each other,(7 August, 25 August, 8 October), they use the exact same edit summaries almost the entire time, --, etc, etc.) and above all, all almost solely add the same type of pseudo-historically nonsensical info on the exact same biographical articles of the same topic(s).(-, etc.)

Notice furthermore how they all use false edit summaries as well, such as writing "corrected grammatical mistake", which usually simply involves the act of changing unsourced content into even more unsourced content, as well as how they all use the exact same reasoning to prevent multiple articles they created themselves from being deleted, by using these sockpuppets together on the AfD in question.----, etc.)

Look furthermore also at this example (there are several more if needed) where they beautifully aid each other while also not forgetting to use the exact same edit summaries; (--)

 * Same edits (circling around "Kashmir" and, specifically, expanding the biographies about invidividuals from "Kashmir")
 * Same target articles,
 * Same edit summaries on almost every occasion, e.g.; "corrected a grammatical mistake",, or "added another source"., or "added one more source".

Same editorial conduct on all terms as you can see.

This stuff is seemingly very important to him, for he even used his socks in the past to prevent one of his articles from being deleted, in fact, the exact same article that his newest sock (WikiDoner) also extensively edited with the same type of edits/edit summaries. - LouisAragon (talk) 23:41, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

 * The evidence is persuasive: focusing on the same subject area (Kashmiris) and the same pages as previous socks, plus the similar/identical edit summaries (//////) and similar sources used in edits (/). Admin action requested: Please block this sockpuppet indefinitely. Thanks, GABgab 22:15, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Same articles. Note that quite a few of these are about very obscure matters, such as Mallinson Girls School.
 * Same habit of adding "Shia", "Agha family", "Kandahar", and "Qizilbash" to various articles, i.e.----
 * Here "Cashmere3" corrected an edit made earlier by "WikiDoner"; Here "Cashmere3" reinstated an edit made by WikiDoner that I had removed in the past per BANREVERT.-

 * - CheckUser information rotates after 90 days, and the newest socks in the archive have not edited in two years. However this seems like a pretty clear-cut case, and the new account is . Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 00:55, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

As we speak, new account "Redcapt" is trying to re-create the exact same Kashmir-related article, that was originally made by the sockmaster "Ali1872", but which was deleted per G5. "Renewitzel" is aiding "Redcapt" on the exact same draft, and like Ali1872, hes also solely interested in editing articles related to "Agha/Aga" figures from Kashmir.------- So basically: two brand new accounts parroting the exact same edits originally made by the sockmaster and his blocked socks; - LouisAragon (talk) 15:53, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Behavioural evidence ties both socks to the blocked master. Please block both indef for block evasion. Cabayi (talk) 23:29, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
