Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

Was edit warring on Insurgency in Balochistan, and once he got warned over 1RR rule, he is now using this newly created sock to evade 1RR.

Since the suspected sockmaster has admitted that he proxy for Nangparbat, a banned LTA (SPI page, LTA page), it is possible that the suspected sock can be Nangparbat. Orientls (talk) 12:16, 15 March 2022 (UTC)


 * @Orientls I don't understand your assertion about proxying for Nangparbat. Where does it say that in the diff you cited? -- RoySmith (talk) 14:47, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Nangparbat was socking on Women's rights in Jammu and Kashmir, but after the page was protected and his account (Himachal78) was blocked Abbasi786786 magically turned up on this page to continue the edit war by the LTA, and was asked how he came here to which he replied "Hi there. I was informed by an acquaintance outside Wikipedia that vandalism was occurring on this article and decided to step in." It looks evident that the suspected sock here can be Nangparbat too since both these users Nangparbat and Abbasi786786 are colluding. Orientls (talk) 16:37, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm still confused. Even assuming that the statement you quoted is actually evidence that Abbasi786786 is a Nangparbat sock, how does that say anything about Tremor0? -- RoySmith (talk) 19:06, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Abbasi786786 is not a sock of Nangparbat, only WP:PROXYING for him. Tremor0 can be a sock of Abbasi786786 or Nangparbat. Here are the 2 possibilities: 1) Tremor0 was created by Abbasi786786 to evade 1RR on Insurgency in Balochistan, 2) Tremor0 was created by Nangparbat to help Abbasi786786 to help in edit war because both are evidently colluding off-wiki.

"Proxying" implies there are no independent reasons for someone to work on an article. I do have independent reasons to stop the vandalism you lot try to get through. As would most people.

In fact, already on this most recent "Balochistan Insurgency" article I have created a section on the Talk page explaining the rationale for clarifying the Insurgency as "low-level". I also have had this article on my watch list for about a year now.

I do not approve of bypassing the revert rule and do not have connections with Tremor0 who reverted your edit (after you already did lol, should we check if you're a sockpuppet of AnM?).

Instead of engaging with me properly on the talk page, you are making accusations with the administrators lol.

The same thing happened on the Jammu and Kashmir women's article, which I bang up plenty of reasons to revert your vandalism in the Talk page independently.

You all can go ahead and check me for IP sticking, I fully approve. I know you'll find nothing. -- Abbasi786786 (talk) 11:03, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Created just 1 day after the last sockfarm was blocked.

Same tactics of disparaging opposing editor by attacking them as "Indian", and still believes that a person who edits in the given area is not in a position to hand out DS alert.

Adding Heauwo0 because this account too made his first edit by removing about crimes on British Pakistani a lot like 90tillinfinitydue.

Ping who did the last check. There must be yet another sockfarm like last 2 times. Orientls (talk) 12:18, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Brief: Pl. check by ImmortalTruthIII &  by 39.43.253.162 in relation blocked sock Special:Contributions/VikrahmSeth1991 & Sockpuppet investigations/Nangparbat Details: On 30th July there was some identified sock Special:Contributions/VikrahmSeth1991 edits @ Tourism in Pakistan  & Talk:Tourism in Pakistan. Sock VikrahmSeth1991 was identified and reverted by other users. The sourced content which was not liked by sock was previously added by me. But since I was unaware that talk page post is sock, I prepared partial response in my own sandbox. Though sandbox was named in unrelated manner on July 3 a newly opened account User:ImmortalTruthIII edited my sandbox to give targeted reply  with misplaced personal aspersions and Whataboutism. In good faith I replied @ User talk:ImmortalTruthIII and posted @ User talk:Girth Summit to keep them informed (but probably they traveling and not around per their talk page). I would have allowed the matter to rest there but a day before I have received an email from Indian sounding email name and asking for my email address and email sent talk page message came from 39.43.253.162. You can check 39.43.253.162 for who is. Though email is civil but going beyond Wikipedia allowed purpose and asking email address might be an attempt of probable phishing. Idk if WP policy allows me to share Username used for sending email. If allowed I will give details here. I wish and request CU checks if these episodes are related and in case inappropriate then do the needful.

The first two accounts were blocked but not CU'd, as far as I know, so I've added them to the sock list for reference.

Quite an overlap with the last sock MahisoeoEk.
