Both users have a large intersection of interest in Indian naval ships and locomotives in their limited number of edits. On Wikimedia commons recently re-uploaded an image for a locomotive which was earlier uploaded by  and deleted some days ago for copy-right violation. . The user also argued for non-deletion of the image uploaded by the other user here. has also insinuated block-evasion behavior on my talk here here User_talk:Adamgerber80.

Account was created on 16 Jan a day after the user unblock request was declined from Wikipedia for sock-puppeting. User 99 in the usernames as other sockpuppets,. All edits are tagged as mobile edits, same as other socks. Overlap of interest in Indian locomotives and an obession with changing article images. Likes using Drafts to create articles and formats them in a similar fashion (Draft:WDG 4G,Draft:Bajaj Dominar 400). Please also sweep for sleepers. Adamgerber80 (talk) 07:13, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Please have a look at WP:CLEANSTART which states that you can only do so if your previous account is not blocked. IMO, this is is a clear block evasion per WP:SOCK. Sock puppetry is considered a serious offense on Wikipedia. You already have been blocked earlier and your unblock request was turned down because you continued to create SOCKs even after claiming that you did not understand the policy. Barely one day later you create another account and start editing. Creating another account and editing Wikipedia or editing Wikipedia without creating an account when your account has been blocked is block evasion. In the past, users have been given second changes (after a period of 6 months to a year) if they respect the block and display restraint. But your current behavior is not helping your case.

No need to do check-user. I'm the same guy but did nothing wrong on wikipedia from this ID. I have not misused this ID in any way. I have moved on from my past deeds and I'm obeying all of wikipedia policies. Regarding this photo deletion https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:20180123-172428-1_humsafar.jpg It's completely a false allegation. Nowhere in the video you can find that still. Reasons why the image is not a screenshot from stated video: This image was sent by my brother who does his college in Bangalore. The photo was already deleted before I could put my argument. I'm not sock-puppeting. I'm just having fresh start. I have written two very good articles pending to be reviewed. You can always have a watch on me for if I do anything wrong. I rest my argument here. If you are convinced then let me have a second chance or else block this one as well. Thank you. Trader99 (talk) 14:50, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * The platform is full of people in that video while the image has just 2 people at distance.
 * The video has been shot very closely while the image is taken from a distance
 * You can spot potholes in the video. No such thing in image
 * Overhead catanery wires are hung by foot over bridge while in image there are standalone poles.

Has an exact and uncommon overlap of interest in Indian locomotive articles and Indian Navy/Coast Guard related articles as the sock puppeteer. Has uploaded the same image on commons as the previous sock. Same edit nature of replacing images with copy-right violated ones. , The only difference I notice is in the user agent while most of the previous edits on previous have been tagged mobile edit this account has been a visual one. But the behavioral evidence is overwhelming. Adamgerber80 (talk) 18:13, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
