 * Based on both their behvaiours, I suspect a sockpuppet here. While there is an overlap in the articles being edited, Immirzakhan added Candidate of bijnor BSP 2019 MP seat to Malook Nagar here while Ranakaraaj added Candidate of bijnor mp to Suchi (politician) here. Apart from this, the latter's first edit was to the sandbox of the former's. -- Rsrikanth05 (talk) 12:33, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

 * See also Sockpuppet_investigations/Bijnorlion. Given the timing of the check in that case, I'm assuming that if CU did connect Bijnorlion to any non-stale socks of Immirzakhan, then Tony would have noticed there. ST47 (talk) 16:48, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

Both users have edited some of the same pages (i.e. Abhay (TV series)). Both have created articles about A9 eligible subjects (Gaal Ni Kadni from Bijnor and Prada (Song) from Pariwar). Both have even asked for help on other users' talk pages regarding their article creations, including a failed attempt at WP:ANI, which was reverted as a misplaced thread. Jalen D.

 * I requested CU. Given the timings, and thier activity, it is evident that this not a clean start, or innocent mistake. It is clearly deceptive activity. There can be more accounts or sleepers. — usernamekiran (talk)  20:59, 19 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi. Didnt you block ? — usernamekiran (talk)  20:17, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

 * I've blocked as a sock puppet based on the results and behavioral evidence here. Though it's likely I would have blocked them for repeatedly creating inappropriate articles anyway. Seraphimblade Talk to me 18:18, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

Duck, having created Chaudhary Nasir Ali Khan which was created earlier by a sock - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Nasir+%28politician%29 and subsequently deleted. Working on Muslim politicians and articles based on Bijnor in the same vein as the sockmaster. Common edits to Rafiq Ansari (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Immirzakhan&oldid=889380159 and re-creation by Rajueagle) among others. Became active only after the former sockpuppets were blocked.  Jupitus Smart  10:43, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

 * , you created this account. Is there anything you can share that might be useful to this SPI? -- RoySmith (talk) 01:32, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't remember anything about this account; any information would come from the logs at ACC. I don't think there's much useful there but since those logs aren't publicly accessible I'm not sure what I can share from them. I've sent a message to the ACC admins asking for guidance and will respond further when able. &#8209;&#8209; El Hef  ( Meep? ) 13:52, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I am responding in my capacity as an ACC Tool Admin. There were comments on the original request which suggested this should have been potentially reviewed by a CheckUser - however, the comment wasn't straightforward or clear, so this was a simple mistake and good faith was assumed.  The comment on the request and the remaining data that has not been purged would not prove helpful to any further investigation(s). --  Dane  talk  02:59, 5 April 2021 (UTC)


 * The creation of Chaudhary Nasir Ali Khan with very similar initial content to Nasir (politician) certainly raises suspicions, but it's 14 months between when the previous known sock (Yoyoviraj) was blocked and when Rajueagle's account was created. My hunch is this is not the same person, but rather somebody else chasing a similar UPE job from the same notes, or a political supporter of Nasir.  It's certainly possible they're a sock, but lacking CU evidence, there's not enough here to support a block.  Closing with no action taken. -- RoySmith (talk) 03:28, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

 * is ❌ to, from a technical perspective. They are ✅ to , which is perhaps unsurprising since the older account made a series of edits to the new account's user page. One account stopped editing after the second was created, but they have overlapped at multiple articles, so leaving it for someone else to determine whether this is a WP:BADSOCK.  Girth Summit  (blether)  20:55, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
 * My take on Loyal vs Tashin is that the overlap is minor, so I'm going to AGF and call this a poorly executed clean start. I do notice from their user page info that they've put on 5 kg and changed their eye color :-)  I left them uw-agf-sock and as long as there's no problems in the future, I think we can call that sufficient.  Closing. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:39, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
