 * I believe that Adrollim is a sock of Apollo4659. On 8 May 2019, Apollo4659 opened a discussion on Talk page of Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan. The user Apollo4659 later went to user Ravensfire page and wrote this message:


 * "I started a discussion on the article talk page like you asked me to. Is it possible you can give your input? Regards"


 * Now if you go and check the edit history of Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, you can easily see that user Ravensfire never asked Apollo4659 to start a discussion on the talk page regarding the issue. Even Apollo4659 Talk page is also empty and no one has told him/her to start discussion on the talk page. However, on 24 April 2019, Ravensfire did ask Adrollim's to discuss it at talk page.


 * Moreover, both users are trying to remove India and Afghanistan from allies section on Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan page. Hence both of these accounts show behaviour similarity.


 * Another Major similarity between the two account is that both of these accounts use exactly the same words for their edits. For instance Adrollim made this following edit summary: The sources you have used are opinionated and speculative. Similarly Apollo4659, also used exactly the same words on Wiki Neutral point of view board The sources themselves also appear to be speculative or opinionated.

Hence there is a considerable evidence which suggest that Adrollim is the sock puppet of Apollo4659. Could someone please take a look into this. Thanks. JawadChengazi (talk) 18:28, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Volocraso account was made right after Apollo4659 was banned because he was a sock puppet of Mountain157.


 * Volocraso made all of his edits through mobile. Like Apollo4659 did.


 * All of Volocraso edits are minor edits on random wikipedia pages. A behaviour which is consistently found in Mountain157 socks. All of Mountain157 socks will edit random pages for a period of time. After some time, they will return to the page where they really wanted to make their change.


 * Another one of major similarity between Volocraso and Apollo4659 is that they make exactly the same type of edit on Baloch Liberation Army page. Apollo4659 tried to remove USA from list of countries that designates Baloch Liberation Army as terrorist group despite the fact that source supporting that is given in the page. diffs Similarly, Volocraso also made a similar type of edit and removed USA from list of countries that designates Baloch Liberation Army as terrorist group. diffs


 * Judging from Apollo4659 edit history it is evident that user Apollo4659 went to great length to get USA removed from the list.

 * Account made after Mountain157 and his/her socks were blocked.
 * Same Behaviour as Mountain157, such as adding Pakistan as a ally of terrorist groups like ISIS-K and using exactly the same sources which were used by Apollo4659 previously.
 * 1) diffs Apollo4659 used this reference to add Pakistan as ally.
 * 2) diffs User Egyptian Kratos used the same references to label Pakistan as ally of ISIS-K.


 * Pattern of adding references is also the same.
 * Almost all of User Egyptian Kratos edits are focused on adding Pakistan as ally of terrorist groups while providing sources which does not support his/her claim. This type of behaviour was consistently found in Mountain157 and his socks. Even Mountain157 was banned before for this behaviour. 5.37.174.25 (talk) 00:17, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

 * ❌. However, Egyptian Kratos is ✅ to the following accounts:
 * AFAIK, based on 's notations, Nittin Das is the master. I've upped the block on Nittin Das to indefinite, blocked Egyptian Kratos, and tagged all three accounts. Please create a new case with Nittin Das.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:56, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
