 * - Not enough to warrant a check. Salvio 10:16, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not seeing enough behavioral evidence to justify the suspicion of sockpuppetry. It's darn suspicious that an editor with no previous interest in the Pakistan area showed up there all of a sudden, but I think canvassing is more likely than sockpuppetry.

This IP is being abused by this sockmaster. See the SPI from April 2020 where one of his IP (175.107.220.128) was blocked similarly. 175.107.220.128 and 101.53.225.41 both locate to same area and have same ASN.

101.53.225.41 is attempting to restore edits of this sockmaster on Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 and Battle of Chawinda, by using talk page, as these articles are protected.

.

request you to block the IP for ban evasion. Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 10:27, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

The sock is back to opting for ""Pakistani Victory" or "Indian defeat" by starting a new RfC just like last blocked sock on Talk:Battle of Chawinda.

Similarities also involve edits on Battle of Chamb to claim Pakistani upper hand in the battle. Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 05:17, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

StanFuk registered right after last sock was blocked.

Pr0pulsion and StanFuk are similarly adding images on Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, which was also done by Nomanpk44.

Pr0pulsion uploaded new version of which was originally uploaded by BenCKP a sock of Nomanpk44.

StanFuk created Battle of Munabao but Pr0pulsion 123 uploaded images on Commons about, for this article. Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 12:18, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Other than agreeing that Pr0pulsion_123 is to NomanPK44 and StanFuk, I'm afraid I'm not of much help here.  I poked around in cuwiki and the SPI archives to see if I could find any matches based on UA or IP prefixes, but didn't come up with anything useful.  I'll just close this.  If somebody has suggestions for specific cases to compare to, I'll be happy to dig deeper. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:39, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
