All of them are editing similar articles (see interaction). Master created draft on Jamia Masjid kupwara and which also edited by Setupoo. Setupoo is constantly doing POV edits on election related articles despite warnings by many users. Wikovon who also edited that msjid article is also doing some minor edits in those election pages and have a similar username to master. 1Sing8o609 also have edited an article Kupwara which all other 3 have also edited, but I am not completely sure it's them. In any case requesting CU to confirm and check if it's an already banned user. &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 11:14, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Y1bo1oo made two edits to Draft:Jamia Masjid Kupwara.. The revision history shows that Inovannnn, Vivonvon1900000, Kuonkuo, Kashkoo, 1Sing8o609, and Wikovon also edited the same page and all of their edits (except the 1st) are marked "Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit".

By a remarkable coincidence Y1bo1oo's other edit was to Mayor of Srinagar, whose revision history also includes Inovannnn and Setupoo.

Contributing to the Mayor of Srinagar page is weak evidence, since many real editors have also contributed to it, unlike the Jamia Masjid Kupwara page where real editors are the exception. -- Toddy1 (talk) 14:18, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

The contribution history of Inovannnn and his/her socks shows their edits marked: "Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit", and Knowours's contribution history shows the same feature. And so do: Justedooo, Haveyou1910, Kashpoltics, Koknoko, Officalofon, Upperdoab, and Talkharesh

Knowours, Justedooo, Haveyou1910, Kashpoltics, Koknoko, Officalofon, Upperdoab, and Talkharesh only made an edit summary if creating a page. This is true of Inovannnn, Kuonkuo, and Kashkoo and is nearly true of Wikovon, 1Sing8o609, and Setupoo.

Knowours has much the same interests as Inovannnn and his/her sockpuppets:
 * Mayor of Srinagar
 * Jammu and Kashmir (princely state)
 * Kupwara (Vidhan Sabha constituency)
 * Ali Mohammad Sagar
 * Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council, Kargil

Justedooo, Haveyou1910, Kashpoltics, and Koknoko all share an interest in the page AssadUllah Shah with two confirmed socks: Wikovon and Ricinfo000.

Note that Koknoko was given an indefinite checkuser block by Materialscientist and is mentioned in an earlier report by Materialscientist, though not tagged.

Officalofon has much the same interests as Inovannnn and his/her sockpuppets: Draft:Parvez qadri: Revision history shows Officalofon and Koknoko as the only contributors.
 * Mayor of Srinagar
 * Kupwara (Vidhan Sabha constituency)

Upperdoab and Talkharesh share a common interest in People's Alliance for Gupkar Declaration with Knowours. Though Wikovon (a confirmed sock) did not edit that page, he mentioned it on his/her talk page as evidence to support an edit he made to Mohammed Yousuf Tarigami.

 * Comment on checkuser results
 * I saw that you blocked and taqged Officalofon as a confirmed sock. But you did not list him as a confirmed sock below. Was that an oversight? -- Toddy1 (talk) 09:21, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Toddy1 - I took another look at that user. I'd call them 'likely'; I only CU block confirmed users, so I went ahead and unblocked. I'm still getting used to the SPI script, which is why I missed that account. Thanks for letting me know. :-)  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   17:39, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Based on the likely result and the behavioral analysis I've done I see enough of a link to as proven (mostly based on CU results, but partly based on behavior here and my own look).  may also be related to this case, but is stale for CU, so leaving alone.

All appear to be SPAs related to Muzaffar Ahmad Shah with similar overly detailed (and also at hte same time, misleading edit summaries), removing AFD tags and similarly named. I originally thought they were related to but given the oldest account here is from December and the last check was run on Jan 21, I'm filing here.

Oh and apparently neither Wikilook or Simonwiko can spell Wikipedia (wikepida) CUPIDICAE💕  17:18, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

SPAs created to edit Assad Ullah Shah, similar naming patterns as in other socks. — kashmīrī  TALK  11:37, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
