Master account (clearly SPA) has been trying to write the BLP (Nabil Gabol) in a biased and promotional manner for the last couple of times using unreliable sources. When reverted several times by different users, xe is now trying to do the same via IPs. Saqib (talk) 09:33, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Since the case wasn't filed properly, I've no issue closing it. --Saqib (talk) 07:46, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Update I found an old account with similar username. --Saqib (talk) 14:13, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

The only problem with the way you filed the report was your request for a CU. We don't publicly disclose IP(s) of named accounts. For newer users, I usually decline the CU and make a comment to that effect. More experienced users should already know this and, besides, the instructions make it clear, so I dispense with the comment and just decline it. In this case the IP made a few edits several days ago, so this report probably won't get much traction from clerks, but I can leave it open if you wish. Let me know whether you still want me to close it.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:44, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I'll go ahead and close this. Like Bbb said, the IP hasn't edited in about a week, so nothing really to do here. TonyBallioni (talk) 13:56, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

WP:DUCK: Here Balochworld claims that they are the original author of Nabil Gabol but original author was Balochworlds, both accounts are SPA, dedicated to the service of Gabol. In addition to obvious socking which they did on Nabil Gabol, their editing and interaction on talk pages show that they are not here to build encyclopedia!

 * It's been almost ten years since the older of these two accounts last edited, meaning we've long since past the point where administrative action for sockpuppetry no longer makes sense. Complaints about their current conduct properly belong at WP:COIN or WP:ANI. Sir Sputnik (talk) 02:42, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I have merged this over to Sockpuppet investigations/Balochworld. Mkdw  talk 17:43, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Five-minutes-old user commenting on an ANI issue supporting the blocked master's viewpoint. Requesting CU because of recent LTA activity (to confirm if the two accounts are connected or if it's just some troll). Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:15, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Balochworld and Observance22 are . However, they are technically to . . To make things more muddled, some of Balochworld's technical data is very similar to that of, whom I previously found to be unrelated to Pakistanpedia. Life ain't easy.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:53, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Relisted - please check these two new socks that popped up after Observance22 was blocked.

 * Both accounts are ✅ to Pakistanpedia.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:10, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if you wanted to know, but Nabil Gabol 2 is Nsmutte.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:12, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I hadn't seen that account. Other than the technical result, I really have nothing to go on to connect Balochworld to Pakistanpedia, and so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. Everyone else is blocked. Case closed. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:39, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Master account was blocked on 18 September. Xe made a couple of unblock requests - all were denied. Master account quit editing editing on 18 September. The same day a new account was created (Noblekhi) and begin discussing the content removal at Talk:Nabil Gabol in a very similar nature and tone. Saqib (talk) 17:31, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Interesting CU result. I never found Pakistanpedia taking a slight interest in BLP of Nabil Gabol until recently. --Saqib (talk) 18:06, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

 * I find this doubtful, to be honest. Balochworld has a very specific and narrow topic niche, while this new account does not. The timing is suspicious, but this is also right around the time that a batch of Sockpuppet investigations/Pakistanpedia socks were blocked, so I think it's more likely this is another Pakistanpedia sock. Please check, anyway. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:40, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Noblekhi and are ✅ to Pakistanpedia. Blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:03, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I'll copy something about this over to the Pakistanpedia page. Closing. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:17, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

 * - Given that the ongoing issues surrounding Nabil Gabol also overlaps with Sockpuppet investigations/Pakistanpedia, please check to see which case this editor is connected to, if any. Sir Sputnik (talk) 01:01, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
 * ✅ to Pakistanpedia. Blocked, tagged, closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:44, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

I wouldn't be surprised if this sock puppet is back, given the same editing pattern, accusations of bias, disruptive editing, and tendency to argue with others. — Saqib ( talk  |  contribs ) 06:43, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * For some weird reason, I'm unable to file this at Sockpuppet investigations/Balochworld. Someone please assist. --— Saqib ( talk  |  contribs ) 06:49, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Well well well well that was interesting--the first block, of the reported account, was simply a matter of hearing the duck quack. After looking at the article history I figured a sleeper check might be warranted given the long history of this person's obsession with whitewashing the BLP--and User:Trying345to, User:Pakistanhisbuff are CU-confirmed with Trying345topoiu and blocked. Obviously Balochworld is stale so I can't say these are confirmed to that account, but it's pretty obvious that these are all them. Drmies (talk) 13:52, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
