The clearest evidence that these two are the same person is that both of them have posted an edit summary of by the kmc it is recently estimated at one point. Highly unlikely that these are two different people. Also, a lot of their edits centre around Sarmad Sindhi and Ali Gul Mallah; on the latter, Bestwork removed my speedy deletion template, taking advantage of the fact that only article creators are banned from doing so. If Bestwork turns out to be the same person as Ali Hyder, then it proves that the template removals were inappropriate. The time at which they both edited today was also similar. As soon as I tagged the speedy deletion, Bestwork was ready to remove it. Ali Hyder has also created autobiographies on here before so there is a COI/self-promotion concern.

Please can we check this one? Same interest in Sarmad Sindhi and has yet again created Ali Gul Mallah with very similar content. If this is the same person, then he is editing in violation of a block. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 20:39, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Probably a sockpuppet as well. See and also same interest in Sarmad Sindhi. Also would be block evasion if it turns out to be the same person. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 20:41, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

This new user overlaps a lot with previous accounts in the farm. There is clear overlap at Jalal Chandio, Manzoor Ali Khan and, of course, the old favourite Sarmad Sindhi. Also, this user's first edit was to write New user trying to improve himself by following wikipedia policy. on their user page. Very similar language to this edit. Could all just be an unfortunate coincidence but I think that there's a reasonably strong chance of block evasion here. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 16:43, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Okay, so he's clearly getting more crafty but there are still a few elements that make me suspect that this one is the next in the line of socks:


 * This one is also obsessed with Sindhi topics, in particular Jami Chandio. Previous socks overlapped a lot on Jalal Chandio.
 * The username similiarity
 * The fact that this new account popped up 2 days after the last sock was blocked

They just don't seem to be a new editor to me. Lack of actual overlap is the only thing that gives me any doubts here so requesting CU to be sure as would rather we didn't accidentally DUCK block a good faith account. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 23:02, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

My trail started with an unusual image added to the sarcasm article, a nice image of a male youth, which didn't seem to illustrate anything pertinent. Turns out this edit was recent, 5 August 2021, by Sarcasm420. This account has been active since 2 May 2021, but has no content on the user page. Edits on Sarcasm420 and AliHyderJunejo share a clear sindhi theme. There are three recent uploads on commons. Young boy laughing out loud.jpg on Commons (inappropriately placed on the sarcasm page) possibly sketches an identifiable real person with no apparent model release. File:The Twelve Imams of shia Islam.jpg on Commons declares the author text as Ali Hyder Junejo, but this actually links to the Sarcasm420 user page (never created). One of the previous suspected socks of AliHyderJunejo was SarcasmLol. Sarcasm420 has several content warnings on his talk page. The very name Sarcasm420 conveys an air of disobedience. File:Water supply shahdadkot.jpg on Commons is a high resolution photograph with explicit camera location metadata, which may aid in correlating IP address ranges. &mdash; MaxEnt 21:47, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

Additionally, concerning accurate declaration of the images, when I attempted to find Young Boy using Google image search, there were only a couple of other places on the Internet where this exact image was in use, and both of them when clicked were blocked by one of my hostile content blocking plugins, so I never saw the page content. &mdash; MaxEnt 22:01, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
