Suspected sockpuppets

The pattern is simple. Removal of same content from Rajput related pages. Interestingly, the another sock of the sockmaster did same edit Heba Aisha (talk) 11:58, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

This has to be a joke the content is being removed from the article by other concerned user because its just so derogatory to the community. And secondly my and that alleged socks edits dont even match, and better discuss the dispute on talk page instead of filling a dubious report i can do the same, i even know whose you're a sockpuppet of. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sikandar khan67 (talk • contribs) 12:28, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

  • Comment - There's some similarities behavior wise. The general aggressive attitude matches what you see from Showbiz in general. The demand for good faith while reverting always back to their preferred version (and ignoring WP:BRD) a Showbiz trait, but it's also a trait of other nationalist / caste POV editors. The interaction between Sikandar khan67 and other Showbiz socks is there, but not extensive. Likewise, the hostility you'd get from Showbiz and socks ( on this page for example.
With regards to the edit mentioned on Rathore, it was also made by Psuedo Nihilist, another prior sock. It's also been made by other editors , , , and then I stopped. Most of those edits are unlikely to have been Showbiz. Overall, I think it's possible this is Showbiz but it's at least as likely to just be another caste POV editor. I think they ARE a sock of somebody though - "Utterly unsourced puffery and promotional content removed" as the edit summary on their fifth edit is not something from a new editor. is not something you'd expect from a new editor either.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ravensfire (talk • contribs) 12:53, May 10, 2021 (UTC)
Yes, one can check Rathore page. Other editors who were sock of showbiz also tried to remove same sourced content with same pretext. Heba Aisha (talk) 23:22, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
CU said we are from same country (You're also from india aswell it doesn't mean we're both same) and different Geolocations , india is seventh largest country with 1.3billion people and having different geolocations is a proof that we both aren't same.Sikandar khan67 (talk) 01:39, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

A lot of other evidences also point towards you being a sock. As for example your mention of Bihar under Lalu Prasad Yadav. The article was deleted when a WP:SPA nominated it for delition and other WP:SPA repeatedly voted there. It is not difficult for me to believe that either You are using multiple accounts or engaged in WP:MEATPUPPETRY. Heba Aisha (talk) 02:56, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

There must be a connection between Heybata, Pintu the dude and Sikandar Khan67 who nominated that article and went stale as how a new user knows about that delition discussion unless he is not aware of my work and me. Heba Aisha (talk) 03:05, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
What you're engaging in is called Red Herring Fallacy, Please stick to the topic which is your accusation that I'm sockpuppet of showbiz,the only accusation I'm defending myself against, you're diverting the topic by changing your position and attacking the position which i dont hold anyway hence your argument is a strawman.Sikandar khan67 (talk) 04:28, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

And please see this user interaction report my edits and showbiz socks's edits don't even overlap at any other articles except for my single edit on Rathore, and another minor edit on Mughal-Rajput War page. Which is still a extremely low overlap ratio given the number of socks showbiz used. And CU has proved that I'm at different geolocation away from showbiz ,i cant be him,i believe the case should be closed as theres just so little similarities between me and showbiz. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sikandar khan67 (talk • contribs) 04:45, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

To be very honest, there is very little to no similarity between the two accounts. Infact all recent socks (Post-January 2021) doesn't look Showbiz socks either. Such things are very annoying for the blocked user who might be following a WP:SO and such ill-minded reports (again & again) only keep on disturbing the process. (Even last SPI report filled was nowhere similar to Showbiz). Don't tag any uninvolved editor as socks whom edits you don't like. Thank you very much.2402:3A80:104C:D422:9F4B:1073:ED8C:DF0A (talk) 10:40, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

The alleged sock has made only 150 edits and user interaction report has nothing to say at this point of time. Let them be extended confirmed, we will witness a lot of pov pushing edits and edit warring on Rajput pages. Heba Aisha (talk) 14:12, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
Heba Aisha, they've been given the discretionary sanctions notice for India/Pakistan/Afghanistan area, and I also left the general sanctions notice for South Asian social groups, which includes caste related articles. If they start POV pushing, the sanctions available from each of those remedies is in place. Don't hesitate. Note that goes for ALL sides - play nicely. Ravensfire (talk) 16:08, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Big evidence, we've mistaken

Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Antonio Rocci, to CU, admins and reviewer who want to save time. Consider this. Heba Aisha (talk) 07:38, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
You're welcomed to spam the link to that SPI everywhere and tag Anyone, like you've been doing in past im just waiting for moment when CU proves you wrong and me innocent haha hahaSikandar khan67 (talk) 08:14, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
