 * Here, Clownfish0007 (a CU-confirmed sock of Pakistanpedia) uses the distinctive "{Turkish}" faux parenthetical. Same distinctive formatting here by Fdsg*
 * Urdu 1 appears to be a hotbed of activity for this guy, along with some other sock operators.
 * Fdsg* has created about 3 really poor articles, and I'm getting a paid editor vibe from him. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:33, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Both of these are accounts with an exclusive interest in Pakistani cinema, focused primarily on uploading images, and doing so without regard for copyright. Hammy continued Nawaz's pattern of uploading images for the Lux Style Awards. (Compare File:12LuxStyleawards.jpg and File:11Luxstyleawards.jpeg to File:10LuxAwards.jpg and File:9thLuxAwards.jpg. I suspect they reuploaded File:SabaQamar.jpg at File:SabaQamarZaman.jpeg. There are also some similarities in their choice of file names.

 * A single purpose account which has done nothing other than trying to prevent deletion of various pages created by Pakistanpedia sockpuppets, so no doubt about it. I have blocked the account. However, I notice that this account was a sleeper, created well before the recent CheckUser, but not picked up in that check.

SahabAliwadia: this account is already indeffed for disruptive behavior, but I notice that this account re-created Anum Fayyaz at Draft:Anum Fayyaz, which was then moved to mainspace by blocked sock User:Assddffgg, and then edited the same day by User:Coutygirl and User:Lillyput4455 45 minutes after User:Coutygirl:.

Also worth noting that Noor ul Ain was re-created at Draft:Noor ul Ain by an IP sock in typical range used with many of these recreated articles, and moved to mainspace in good faith by an apparently unrelated editor. This has happened a few times with articles db-g5'd by previous socks. I've tagged that for db-g5. The Mighty Glen (talk) 12:10, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Edited Iqra Aziz half hour after blocked sock User:Assddffgg, and was reverted by Cluebot.

All three articles are frequent and recent targets of puppeteer, under blocked accounts Coutygirl and Lovesinging. The Mighty Glen (talk) 16:16, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

Anonymous sock 119.160.118.192, from one of puppeteer's habitual IP ranges, resumed editing this a few hours later, a day after the same anon IP asked User:Primefac to undelete Parchayee, and namedropping likely meatpuppet User:Kuchnaya:. Primefac's reply is also worth a read:. The Mighty Glen (talk) 16:27, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

Adding 175.110.247.121 and User:Dhaminshah Singh. Today IP socks 175.110.247.121 and 119.160.118.85 added redlinks to List of programs broadcast by Hum TV for deleted articles Mah-e-Tamaam, Parchayee and Zanmureed , and Ishq Tamasha , all from previous socks. Reversion was immediately followed by re-addition by 119.160.118.224 ,. My second reversion was followed 6 hours later by 175.110.247.121 re-adding just a single redlink for Mah-e-Tamaam. Eleven minutes after I revert this, in its second edit since February User:Dhaminshah Singh comes back to life and creates a nearly empty stub of Mah-e-Tamaam, and then re-adds the link to it from List of programs broadcast by Hum TV. An uninvolved editor correctly moves this to Draft:Mah-e-Tamaam, and User:Dhaminshah Singh resumes editing there. Same account then recreates the stub in mainspace, and 175.110.247.121 resumes editing there. The Mighty Glen (talk) 22:22, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Other behaviour worth noting: User:Dhaminshah Singh attempted re-creation of AFD'd Bilal Abbas Khan a week after account creation in December. This was immediately G4'd and salted, with the salt expiring... yesterday. 175.110.247.121 has a long history of similar warnings for behaviour identical to that of puppeteer, persistently adding unsourced claims to Iqra Aziz, Naagin (TV series), Sana Javed, etc.: see current talk page. All frequent targets of this puppeteer. Also, above I mentioned that re-creation of Mah-e-Tamaam was User:Dhaminshah Singhs second edit since February: previous edit was this link fix of this unsourced addition  by 175.110.247.121 an hour earlier at Maya Ali.

Both users contribute same type of articles (Pakistani drama actors and TV series). They create articles in same style (add OR and use unreliable sources to support claims) and upload free-use images on Wikipedia with same descriptions.

 * yes i have account which i stated below, i saw lillyput creations on Xtool because i am following wikipidea from the few years and started editing last year because of my passion. I also know User:M.Billoo2000 from my previous id User:Nawaz2435 and following him because i just wanted them to do something for Pak entertainment and today you can see user:M.Billoo2000 has doing excellent work for Pakistani films but there was lack of users in Television thats why i joined account and being one of them.

 * Comment I was thinking about doing just this earlier today for the same reasons mentioned. Too much similarity to prior socks based on article creation (might be worth looking at deleted version to see how similar the writing style it), the copyright violations from Empire AS which mirror the copyright issues Pakistanipedia had (and has continued to have as they socked) and the editing focus.

 * I buy that Alexandra is loutsocking on Special:Contribs/39.46.223.126/18, which merits a warning, as it's continuing as of the 17th. As to whether Alexandra is a sock of Pakistanpedia, I don't know. This filing doesn't present enough information to reach a conclusion. "same IP range" here means two /16s away from the last one, and that combined with the focus on Pakistani entertainer's photos is persuasive, but not enough for a block on its own. .

 * The only similarity I see is that they're changing box office totals, but that's far from distinctive. Moreover, GDB appears to be lowering box office figures, while XPF's whole thing was false inflation of those numbers for nationalistic reasons. I see no basis to conclude sockpuppetry. . --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 03:16, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

 * - ShokLionYt's overlap with recent socks and edit summary style is suspicious. Please CU to confirm ( and are not stale for comparison). The talk page comments linked above are interesting but I don't see enough evidence to endorse a check on the other users. They don't use edit summaries, seem less competent and are interested in different topics. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 04:07, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
