1) Both solely edit Hazara-related articles 2) Both never use edit summaries 3) Both have "Husayn" in their username 4) The Editor Interaction Analyser shows that, even though they both have barely made any edits, there's a pretty significant overlap. Notice that many of these articles are extremely low-profile.

I basically lost the count how many times various editors have warned "Mirza Shah Husayn" about his rampant editorial pattern. He just doesn't care. Its basically another key aspect that links them together; never responding to any warning, or any remark in general. Basically, the only thing both do, is inserting bogus material with non-RS links such as Facebook, blogs, etc. as "sources". Pretty much WP:NOTHERE, regardless of sockpuppetry. - LouisAragon (talk) 02:40, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Same old - editorial - story. Both accounts show that they have been obsessed with Hazara-related articles right from the start. Better said, very low-profile Hazara-related articles, that basically only the sockmaster and his confirmed socks consistently edited in the past. I.e. Hazara Australians, Ghulam Haider, Hazaras, Liwa Fatemiyoun, 1888–1893 Uprisings of Hazaras, Abdul Khaliq Hazara (assassin), etc. - LouisAragon (talk) 23:17, 9 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Names of both socks are fully in line with previous blocked accounts (Historian from Hazara jat; also compare "Talib Hassani" with "Talib Husayn", "Talib Husayn Al Hassan"), "Talib Hussain Al Hassani", and "Talib Husayn Hazara")
 * Adds some kind of unrecognized "Hazara" flag to aforementioned Hazara-related articles. Just like the sockmaster and CU blocked socks did in the past..
 * EIA confirms the whole story once more. - LouisAragon (talk) 23:39, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

 * The name of the account contains the word "Talib" (compare with previous socks, i.e. Talib Hassani, Talib Husayn, Talib Husayn al Hassan, Talib Hussain Al Hassani, Talib Husayn Hazara, etc.)
 * Alike the sockmaster and the previous socks, "Talib23" is solely interested in low-profile Hazara topics-
 * Alike the sockmaster and the previous socks, "Talib23" makes pro-Hazara edits, such as here, where he increases the total number of ethnic Hazaras in the world. Other socks of Husayn Shah Mirza, as well as the sockmaster himself, are known to have done the exact same thing in the past.-- - LouisAragon (talk) 00:11, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Only interested in low-profile Hazara topics. Fully in line with the sockmaster and the earlier blocked socks.
 * Similarity in username, cf. "Talib Husayn Hazara", "Shar Shah-e-Hazara", and "Talib Husayn Al Hassani".

Technically ❌ to the master as well as unrelated to another sock, which had showed up previously and listed in the archive. — Berean Hunter   (talk)  18:35, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Looks like WP:DUCK. The edits are similar to previous sockpuppets of this sockmaster, e.g. Compare new account's edit with blocked socks' edit  And if you take a look at this SPI case archive, the edit pattern is similar, e.g. focusing on Hazara Australian and increasing the population of Hazaras by editing infobox and increasing the percentage of Hazara population in Afghanistan.
