Puppet has attempted to reinsert some of the copyvio images I blocked the master for and has asked for the master to be unblocked. I would suggest it's a duck, but given the user names sound plausibly like personal names, I request CheckUser to provide technical evidence as to whether this is sock or meat.

Extreme WP:DUCK, very similar usernames, master was blocked due to copyvios on 30 March 2016, he created Nouman sherani and Nouman arbaz khan both on 1 April 2016. He might have created the third account Nouman arbaz khan after realizing that Nouman sherani might be too telling. All three accounts made edits to Jahangir Khan Jani which was created by master. They have been very disruptive, adding copyvio images and unsourced material, also creating pages for non-notables, creating a lot of administrative work for others to cleanup the mess. Master has displayed the knowledge of adding advanced tables and wikifying links, also can create articles, can add images and modify templates so its possible that master be someone other than these, a past blocked account possibly.

Besides the name, there is this edit by Nk Khan Sherani, which is almost identical to this one made by Nks Sherani. Specifically, note the addition of an image simultaneous to the deletion of categories.

Assuming good faith, this might simply be a case of forgetting the password, since the two accounts don't have overlapping editing histories, though Nk Khan Sherani did edit as recently as 11:00 on April 7 (Nks Sherani started editing at 23:09 April 7). clpo13( talk) 06:15, 8 April 2016 (UTC) reply

Scratch that last bit. There is now significant overlap in editing times and articles (such as Shahid Usman). Both accounts mark nearly every edit as minor. Nk Khan Sherani uploads File:Sunbal+copy.jpg and Nks Sherani adds it to an article. There's also the issue of nearly every upload by Nk Khan Sherani lacking source or licensing information. They've done the same on the Commons. clpo13( talk) 22:36, 9 April 2016 (UTC) reply

Continuing here, but this is one more sock suggested to belong to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Nouman khan sherani.

Dilber Munir ( talk · contribs) starts by creating Dilber Munir about a Pashto cinema actor. The article follows the same formula as several creations made by the master, Nouman khan sherani ( talk · contribs): {{ Infobox person}}, 1-line lead, filmography section.

  • @ Doug Weller: I can see why you think there may be a relationship, but it is purely a technical one, and the user agents used by both masters and their socks are often difficult to confirm with absolute certainty. If, though, you focus on behavior, the two masters are distinct. I'm not an expert on Najaf ali bhayo, but my sense is that he vandalizes particular topic areas, whereas Nouman khan sherani focuses mainly on creating film articles. If you look at the different socks, many of which were blocked without a CU, the ownership appears to be correct. I blocked and tagged Momin167.

Habibullah6474 created Ghulam (2016 film), a poorly-sourced article about a film of questionable notability with Arbaaz Khan given top billing despite sources mentioning him further down the cast list. Past socks have promoted Khan in the same way.

User:202.69.11.210's edits have been confined to Ghulam (2016 film) and adding items to the filmography of Jahangir Khan Jani - past Nouman socks (eg. 1) have also added items to Jahangir Khan Jani's filmography. McGeddon ( talk) 11:23, 21 September 2016 (UTC) reply

Habibullah6474 created Ghulam (2016 film), a poorly-sourced article about a film of questionable notability with Arbaaz Khan given top billing despite sources mentioning him further down the cast list. Past socks have promoted Khan in the same way.

User:202.69.11.210's edits have been confined to Ghulam (2016 film) and adding items to the filmography of Jahangir Khan Jani - past Nouman socks (eg. 1) have also added items to Jahangir Khan Jani's filmography. McGeddon ( talk) 11:23, 21 September 2016 (UTC) reply

 Clerk endorsed: please check Habibullah6474 against past socks. An IP-hopping user on Special:Contributions/202.69.0.0/20 (probably) has also been warring to remove the AfD notice from Ghulam (2016 film), that's probably the same user.

Please see nl:Wikipedia:Checklijst langdurig structureel vandalisme/Khan Sherani for all socks and IP adresses used. All have been globally locked now as well but I fear we have not seen the end of this person since he expands cross wiki that is why I acted on nl-wiki where I am admin and made the cross wiki file. We have locally blocked the Facebook server as well on nl-wiki since that is an open proxy gateway. MoiraMoira ( talk) 07:27, 7 October 2016 (UTC) reply

New account whose first two edits (creating a film article with Arbaaz Khan given top billing, and adding it to Jahangir Khan Jani's filmography) mirror those of recent socks ( User:Habibullah6474 created another Khan film article last month and had an IP add it to Jani's filmography).

Same focus on Pashto cinema articles as past socks, with particular overlap in editing Jahangir Khan Jani's filmography and linking to Zwee Da Badamala, an article recently created by another Nouman Khan sock. The name "Nouman Khan" appears in many past sock usernames. McGeddon ( talk) 13:51, 18 October 2016 (UTC) reply

Week-old account with similar behaviour to many past socks - making new articles about films with Arbaaz Khan given top billing, and adding them to Jahangir Khan Jani's filmography. Only other edits have been to create Qaisor Sanober and add a self-created Arbaaz Khan web series to that article's filmography. McGeddon ( talk) 09:01, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply

Hijacked the Arbaaz Khan (actor) redirect to create another biography of the Pakistani actor Arbaaz Khan, created articles about some of his films, added one to Jahangir Khan Jani's biography - all the behaviour of past socks. McGeddon ( talk) 22:47, 10 November 2016 (UTC) reply
