Apart from the very similar usernames, Imranjhangailbaloch created the page Manzoor khan Jhangail (speedily deleted as non-notable), which the former account had recreated 4 times under 2 slightly different titles. Passengerpigeon (talk) 13:43, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

The first account shows similar behavior to the sockmaster, creating the pages Jhangail and JHANGAIL (once the first title had been salted). The second account created the page Jhangail (Baloch tribe) which the third account promptly edited. This page has now been flagged as a possible hoax.

Blocked and tagged (not checked). Left the master alone for now since they do not appear to be evading the block. Elockid  ( Talk ) 01:55, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

The account created the page Jhangail (tribe) which I redirected to the existing article Jhangail (Baloch tribe). He/she also added the word "Jhangail" to the page History of the Baloch people. The article about the Jhangail tribe has been flagged as a possible hoax, with the only other mentions of the tribe being Facebook pages and YouTube videos. Thus, it is unlikely that someone other than Imranjhangailkhosa would write about a non-notable (most likely nonexistent) Baloch tribe. Passengerpigeon (talk) 12:50, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

 * I've gone ahead and blocked the account. The nature of the edit combined with the use of an open proxy is enough to tip the scale as far as I'm concerned.--Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:25, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

The account created the page Jhungail, which covers the same topic as the previous Jhangail pages. They also edited Khosa and List of Baloch tribes, typical behavior for Imranjhangailkhosa socks. Passengerpigeon (talk) 22:46, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Checkuser comments: Results are ; there are no historical results related to the supposed master account, and  is editing from a large and highly dynamic ISP with a large number of other registered and unregistered accounts. Given the persistence of attempting to add this information, please consider that the edits involve what is likely a small and localized cultural group from a region about which there are very few quality English-language sources. It may be more valuable to try to find scholarly sources in an endemic language. Absence of English sources doesn't mean the information isn't true. Risker (talk) 15:18, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
