Suspected sockpuppets


I believe that Info.Channels has many similarities with Dpakchannels and already blocked user Channels.CN. They all have been involved in creating fake Wikipedia articles suspected to be Hoax for Pakistani Channel Hum TV. The things that i have observed are:


 * Making Hoax Articles for Channel Hum TV
 * Info.Channels and Dpakchannels  were both notified for an biography article of an unexcited indvidual for a an Hoax TV series page Serkhush. All of them have created fake articles. The articles Info.Channels created also contains this unexisted indvidual.


 * Info.Channels and Dpakchannels both have been involved in Hoax article Dil-e-Humwaar
 * Dpakchannels created the article and Info.Channel  expended using same tone of writing.


 * Account Block and remade
 * Channel.CN was blocked on June 10, 2016 while another account named Info.Channel sharing various similarities was created July 7, 2016 creating fake page.

I hope this investigation will be endorsed. Nauriya (Rendezvous) 04:08, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Channels.CN and Dpakchannels  were involved in another fake article, Mudasir. Also in article Dil-e-Humwaar, Info.Channel mentions article Mudasir.


 * I am currently searching Hoax articles, thanks everyone for helping me resolving this issue. That user was continually making Hoax article using his own plot outline making them look real, as i told earlier i have been associated with Hum TV and have gone to greater length in making good articles, i never found any record of those TV series that user created. Also i don't knew that was the original Sock master, so thank you for pointing and noticing that.  Nauriya (Rendezvous) 12:29, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Should also add, who was blocked as a sock of (now stale). This might be a continued socking from the previous farm. The timeline here adds up perfectly. The original sockfarm was caught in early may, after which Channels.CN is registered. That account is blocked on June 9, and Dpak is registered on June 11. That account quickly collects some warnings, stops editing on June 19, and Merang takes over in late June, to be blocked on July 3. Then current account started editing a few days later. There is also continuity of articles being edited as you switch from one account to another. Someguy1221 (talk) 01:11, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
 * - The timeline of edits and accounts mentioned above makes this case seem pretty obvious to me. I'm mostly asking for checkuser to look for accounts we may have missed, since back in May Ponyo found 14 accounts. Someguy1221 (talk) 01:16, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
 * This case was original opened at Sockpuppet investigations/Info.Channels, but has been moved here. Someguy1221 (talk) 01:16, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I just wanted to voice my annoyance at this guy's page creations. So far I've found 13 hoax articles created by the accounts listed here and one account that goes back go April, . It's painstaking to look through because he mixes in some articles on actual, real topics as well. I'm not going through with the nuke button since many of these creations have gone on to have substantial edits from good faith contributors. Someguy1221 (talk) 01:32, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Frankly, this was a waste of my time. I assumed the clerk checked before endorsing whether accounts could be checked in the first place. All of the accounts are except Info.Channels. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:51, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
 * my bad not specifying which accounts were stale. Info.Channels and Merangsharbatonka are not yet stal, or perhaps Merang is on the very edge. I take this to mean there were no other accounts? Someguy1221 (talk) 21:08, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Merangsharbaatonka is stale, but I understand it's harder to tell when it's so close. The only account I checked was Info.Channels, and unsurprising based on only one account, I saw no other accounts.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:31, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets


The previous request i made for an block was on September 29, 2016, resulting in banning of following suspected sock puppets accounts:



Now, another account has been created that i listed above, "PakistaniTV". The user has recently created previously deleted Hoax article Surkh (TV series) for channel Hum TV, with made up information using actual actors and made-up story. Also such accounts has been continuously interrupting List of programs broadcast by Hum TV, and that was the reason last time i reported here. Following are the activities that i noted which connects the same behaviors of this user as of previous ones.


 * Creating an Hoax article with made up information.
 * In that series user mentioned that it was previously entitled Chohat as one clearly see it was deleted during investigation, see:  thus proving that PaksitaniTV user is one of suspected sockpuppets from previous investigation.
 * Also user's disruptive editing at Hum TV proves the same behavior of the users from previous investigation.
 * Despite warning and reporting here, user created one more Hoax articles, Neelum (TV series).

The user created it account on October 8, 2016 or made it first edit is enough to report here, because looking at the previous history of such cases no warning has to be made. Although user doesn't have any talk page.I hope this investigation will be endorsed. Nauriya (Rendezvous) 15:11, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

Obvious duck sock based on edits from Wikimedia Commons. They uploaded File:Hamza Ali Abbasi.jpg which has metadata containing Dilkesabdaage's username. Due to their fatal blunder, they are attempting to hide their tracks by requesting rename. See also the checkuser case on Commons. Pandakekok9 (talk) 10:33, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
