IP sock re-added copyvio from school website, along with Hamza Rasheed and Aimen Akbar to "notable students", in this edit. User:Hamzarasheed997 then logs in 10 minutes later and tidies up a little. User:Hamzarasheed997 also re-created Aimen Akbar (RPP requested), and tried repeatedly to remove the speedy tags. Scopecreep (talk) 05:32, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

210.2.181.98: this address was already blocked once in January for block evasion by Mr Hamza, and it appears to still be in use for this. Currently blocked for deleting maintenance tags, but his last edit before the block was another paste of the Hamza Rasheed bio to Talk:White Rose School System, at.

All of these are perfectly clear on behavioural evidence. I have blocked the account. I am also requesting a checkuser because, in view of the history of extensive sockpuppetry by this user, there is a chance of sleepers. I will place short-term blocks on the most recent IPs, but, unfortunately, there is probably little that can be achieved against the IPs, as blocks will lead to moving to another IP. There are other edits in the range, which makes a range block for anything other than a very brief time out of the question. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:59, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
 * A /19 range block is already in place, and I didn't see any other accounts. Doesn't look like there's much else to do here. WilliamH (talk) 15:29, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I placed the /19 range block but, for the reason I indicated above, only for a very brief period. JamesBWatson (talk) 16:59, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

The user Soumya Seth first created the article Bekaboo Navya which is now under AfD at Articles for deletion/Bekaboo Navya and tried promoting the article on other various articles 1, 2, 3, 4. IP1 has helped the user in promotion 5 and tried to redirect the said page 6. IP2 reinstated the original version of the said article after my cleanup, also removing the AfD templates. 7. IP3 also did the same 8. And so did IP4 9. IP5 is promoting the same article like others did 10 and 11. The original creator of this article i.e. "User:Soumya Seth" uses the User Name of Indian TV actress Soumya Seth. The Master and various of it's proven socks have shown great interest in the actors Soumya Seth and Shaheer Sheikh who play lead roles in the TV show Navya (TV series). Proof of that can be found in the above closed SPIs. (However if exact revision histories are needed, let me know.) The user has now also created the article Shivshakti Sachdev which has been deleted thrice before, twice under WP:BLPPROD and once under WP:CSD. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 12:47, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Suspect1 is back with a fork article of List of awards and nominations received by Parineeti Chopra. Similar previous fork was deleted on 18th July. He again brings his self-images for us on his favourite actor Shaheer Sheikh's article. This article has been previously vandalized by his socks User:997Hamza, User:Rasheed Hamza997, User:Soumya Seth, User:Rashee Humi and probably more. He is also posting his pictures on other articles like Mughal tribe, Caste system among South Asian Muslims, Mir Mughal, Arain and Tapasvi Mehta. Article on Tapasvi Mehta was created by his sock Suspect2 User:Mr Hamza997. I don't want to waste time in proving how this suspect is also a sock. If the closing admin has doubts, i will provide arguments then. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 13:55, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

After the latest sock was blocked yesterday, this editor started editing today. He brings to us Pakistani TV actor's articles with wrongly dated maintenance tags (which is seen in his other socks). Articles are Sumbul Iqbal, Sajal Ali and Neelam Muneer. I suppose the user has all articles on his PC. He simply copies them from there and we have full article with all maintenance tags in the very first edit. I don't have much habitual evidences here as for a change i suppose he has changed his hobby from Indian TV actors to Pakistani TV actors. He has done some minor edits on Indian TV actors also. But i suppose admins with more powers can dig in better. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 17:14, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Recreating the page about Rasheed Hamza /Hamza Rasheed (title varies - this was Hamza Rasheed Creation's which is now salted).

Alisha Butt posted a picture of Rasheed Hamza at the White Rose School System article. The same picture is claimed at Ace School System to be the creator of the article - Rasheed Hamza.

The suspect (User:Amina ashraf khan) has created the article GM College Faisalabad on which the Master's image File:White rose school system2.jpg is added. The suspect has also created a fork article List of awards and nominations received by Hina Khan. Master has special interest in Indian television actresses.
