Both the users voted (in support) on an ongoing RFC at Talk:Pakistan. User:Sherepunjab voted first after about a month long break at about 17:06 UTC (Feb 9,2012) and went away. At 17:16 UTC (Feb 9,2012) User:Gabrupunjabi created his user account and after some random edits voted at the RFC at 17:44 UTC (Feb 9, 2012). Also both have almost same username pattern and meaning: Sherepunjab means Lion of Punjab and Gabrupunjabi meaning Young Punjabi. S M S  Talk 21:06, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Can some one block this sardar for casting double vote? Help desk told me to report here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Sherepunjab

he added a vote without a reason

making this ID to cast another vote

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Gabrupunjabi

here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Pakistan#Support

See the time of vote for both ID and second ID was created after first vote that and see the similarity in their account name both are Punjabi, from Indian Punjab from edit history of one as he is editing Sikh article. The second ID voted after I asked a reason at the poll. Both ID names mean almost same in Punjabi.

This was when he added his own vote http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3APakistan&action=historysubmit&diff=475974494&oldid=475758515 And then created a new ID and added another vote http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Pakistan&diff=prev&oldid=475980739 Repitile1 (talk) 21:11, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

User:Morsecoder added failed state information about Pakistan, which was reverted but he/she restored his/her version twice and started the discussion of adding Pakistan's position on Failed state index on Talk:Pakistan, which was extended to an RFC on the issue. Morsecoder has already supported addition of the content at the RFC. This RFC has already witnessed support by two apparently not uninvited editors. Now two more newbie editors User:Lforlinux(account create:19:53, February 23, 2012) and User:Madridbulls(account create:13:02, February 26, 2012) voted  at RFC, with no more or very few edits. Both the users welcomed themselves (Lforlinux, Madridbulls). Now the connection between Morsecoder and the two newbies: Both newbies already have some knowledge of Wikipedia (Welcoming themselves) and the ongoing RFC at Talk:Pakistan. And last evidence may not be strong one but I do consider it: Morsecoder and Madridbulls use small I as pronoun for himself/herself. S M S  Talk 15:08, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

The RFC about failed state index on Talk:Pakistan was recently commented on by socks of and were confirmed on Sockpuppet investigations/Sherepunjab. Although I suspect that the new SPAs (Madridbulls & Lforlinux) commenting on the same RFC now are socks of the same user, but there are equal chances of them being another person but I still do have reason to believe (based on these comment timings ) that they are atleast socks of each other. I've listed Sherepunjab as a sock here so that it might be verified along side if they are also the socks of that sockmaster so that such future editing can be caught more easily. It is also very suspicious that both these accounts are trying to make themselves seem old, one placed a welcome notice to itself, made two other edits and went straight to edit at RFC, WP:DUCK. lTopGunl (talk) 16:27, 26 February 2012 (UTC)


 * There were previous cases open for the sockmaster at Sockpuppet investigations/Sherepunjab/Archive. I guess they can be merged now that all are confirmed the same person. -- lTopGunl (talk) 19:46, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Similar POV editing, seems to be a fan of "Lion of Punjab" (Urdu/Punjabi: Sherepunjab) adding images and removing content on atleast apparently WP:IDONTLIKEIT basis. . Recently created account making major edits having POV issues and similar editing pattern. Needs a check. lTopGunl (talk) 11:32, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

I have nothing to with this user. I have only one Account and I adhere to Wikipedia Policies and I only changed history on Punjabi People page and I am a history student and I know history very well and that page was like a murder of history and many pages are forged with incorrect information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saifu77 (talk • contribs) 15:06, 6 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Diffs for similar behaviour, both accounts are blanking content and references from Punjab related articles  , in addition to evidence given above (removing content and adding images of sherepunjab ), -- lTopGunl (talk) 10:07, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

 * - Could you also provide some difs from the original account demonstrating the similarities? We're quite swamped right now, and it would be great if you found that so we don't have to. NativeForeigner Talk 22:34, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Counterstrikke inserted slang terms specifically directed to Pakistan which are similar to Sherepunjab edits which he made a week ago. Also both users attacked users who reverted their edits with offensive language. S M S  Talk 20:15, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
