Although, this user doesn't seem to be editing here now, he just thinks wikipedia is something similar to other websites, like social media or blogs, for sharing personal info.

 * The user may not be wishing to make many other edits, he may just want to create his user page like he is doing in other websites. Therefore, comparing edit histories of each sock is useless as I think, because those are now only on userpage. Each of his user page has similar content, so the only common things are provided above. Thanks! M. Billoo 13:40, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

Shocked to see his userpage, he copied most of the code from my userpage. Maybe he wanted to trap me also, so please do note that I have only two accounts on wikipedia; the one which I use and am using, and the other I have linked on my userpage as My first edit.
 * His birth-details are same: Special:Diff/773685105 and Special:Diff/816716374 (6 Dec 1997, Jhelum)
 * He still uses the same names for him that have been blocked, like 'Ahmad', 'Shameel', 'Younas', 'Khokhar'

This editor was brought to my attention on my talk page. Here we have another account named Shameel editing Fawad Khan. Since the single edit isn't obvious vandalism, I don't think this is enough by itself to warrant block, but certainly to warrant suspicion. Sir Sputnik (talk) 01:22, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

The relevant details of the master, their first sock, and the latest sock are here. Just like the master and the first sock, this new suspected sock has overwritten the Khokhar article with the same non-notable BLP. The latest suspect's BLP's version is clearly matching with the blocked sock's BLP version. They seem WP:DUCK to me. NitinMlk (talk) 17:12, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

 * The recent cases at Sockpuppet investigations/Ahmed SCP appear to be due to the same user.

Quacking loudly. Compare this edit with that one (and pretty much every edit by each of the recently blocked socks).
