Sorry if I'm not filing this correctly, but I think these two are clearly the same person.


 * Innocent Paki seems to quickly insert photos uploaded by Clever Boiiii onto wikipedia pages (many of which seem to be screengrabs/copyrightvio's):


 * Clever Boiii on 13 April uploaded a photo of Dera Ghazi Khan city at 19:27. Innocent Paki began editing at 19:36 that day, and began editing on the Dera Ghazi Khan page at 19:55. Innocent Paki then inserted the picture uploaded by Clever Boiii at 19:27 onto the Dera Ghazi Khan page at 20:31, less than an hour after it was uploaded.


 * Clever Boiiii also uploaded these three photos on 14 April of Rahim Yar Khan: 1 at 00:09, 2 at 00:11, and 3 at 00:13. Innocent Paki inserted all of them onto the Rahim Yar Khan page that very same day: two inserted here, and the other here as part of a montage.


 * Clever Boiiii also uploaded this photo of Bahria Town Rawalpindi on 16 April at 18:59. It was then inserted by Innocent Paki onto the Rawalpindi page just 15 minutes later.


 * Even though Clever Boiiii was registered only on April 2, these accounts seem to edit identical pages, often one after each other (and sometimes with a gap of few days in between). User interaction tool shows that of the 16 pages edited by Clever Boiiii, 14 were pages edited by Innocent Paki.


 * They sometimes edit right after the other: here the two happened to edit the exact same page within one minute of each other on the Quetta page. After Innocent Paki edited that page at 13:51 on 17 April, Clever Boiiii began editing at 13:52 on 17 April and made a few dozen edits until today while Innocent Paki made no more after the 13:51 edit. On April 16, Clever Boiiii edited until 19:10, and Innocent Paki started right after at 19:14


 * See the edit history pages of the following:
 * Largest Cities in Pakistan
 * List of largest cities in Punjab, Pakistan
 * Tourism in Pakistan
 * Khushab
 * Sargodha Division
 * Gujranwala
 * Multan
 * Jhang
 * Bahawalpur
 * Islamabad
 * Karachi
 * and this edit on Sargodha where InnocentPaki reverts the edits of two users back to what the version by Clever Boiii.


 * They both also upload photos with low resolution that appear to be screengrabs. I've tagged several of these on InnocentPaki's page, some of which were stolen from Facebook. His talk page has lots of messages regarding deletion of these copyrighted images . Now Clever Boiiii is doing the same by stealing pictures off Facebook, and posting blurry low-res images like this and this which are the same sorts of pictures InnocentPaki had uploaded. Several of Innocent Paki's uploaded images were of the Karachi Skyline (before being removed for copyright violation), and Clever Boiiii is uploading the same sorts of skyline photos which also look like they were stolen:here, here, here.

I've blocked and tagged the sock and am not blocking the master since it occurred more than a month ago. This should, however, be a warning to that any further socking will probably result in an indefinite block. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 12:28, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Given that the sock was a sleeper account for 10 days and was used for block evasion I can't bring myself to archive this without confirmation from that they are aware this is a final warning and a full disclosure of any other sleeper accounts they may have in reserve.

 * I was blocked after the creation of this account, I also explained in appeal against the block that I was not well-known by the multiple accounts policy of Wikipedia which I read after being blocked in April. Now, I am fully aware of Wikipedia multiple account policy and assure you that it will not be done again in future. I am taking it as a final warning. I created two more sockpuppet accounts in the end of March which are as follow:



I am fully disclosing it to let you know I was not aware of the policy and telling you honestly so that you can block them too and give me a clean chit.

 * Blocked 1058 & 1059 per declaration. Now I'm no longer uninvolved enough to do the archiving... Cabayi (talk) 20:47, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
