Intersection of artcles edited is Bilal Zafar, Faiz Hameed, Family of Imran Khan, Imran Khan, List of international prime ministerial trips made by Imran Khan, Nawaz Sharif and Prime Minister of Pakistan. In addition there's these edits to American rapper Pop Smoke. While never edited by the sockmaster, obviously their username references them. FDW777 (talk) 20:57, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
Although on different articles, Popsmokes38 amends to claim Ahmadiyya are a self proclaimed sect of Islam
, similarly Certifiedloverboydrake adds self proclaimed
to another Ahmadiyya related article. FDW777 (talk) 21:12, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

This user is doing a personal attack on me, they undid my edits for no reason which I provided reliable sources for. They should worry about themselves instead, looking at this person's talk page, I can see they have been bothering others too.

These two are CU confirmed, but Shoot wasn't tagged as a sock; however, Pleasure is heavily editing the Pop Smoke article, and User:Certifiedloverboydrake, tagged as a sock for this one, was editing as well. I'd like for another CU to run a quick check and see what else is there. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 22:05, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

[edit]Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims. @Drmies: I was a bit confused by this case too, and I can't even see the technical data. While I was about to file a case at Shoot for the Stars for the rather obvious TheCleanestBestPleasure sockpuppet, I was under the belief that Popsmokes38 (and their confirmed sockpuppet Certifiedloverboydrake) was a different person completely, albeit one with a passing interest in Pop Smoke.

- @Drmies: I'm agree that Shoot for the Stars and TheCleanestBestPleasure are confirmed to each other based on CU, but I don't see how they're connected to popsmokes or any of the account in the archive, at least not on technical grounds. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:51, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
- RoySmith, Ponyo linked Certified to the Popsmoke SPI, and Certified edited Pop Smoke as well as the Pakistani articles (Nadeem Raza) that Popsmoke and their socks were editing. So behaviorally, I actually think it's good enough. Drmies (talk) 00:02, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
- Tagged: Pleasure as confirmed to Shoot, both as suspected to Pop. Closing. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 02:07, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

Same type of intrest area of articles on many edits/descruptive ones like topics related to Imran Khan, Nawaz Sharif etc. And again and again pushing same copyrighted portrait of Imran Khan in infoboxes. Also match in username like his previous in which one of the username is User:Kittensarecute12. Wallu2 (talk) 17:29, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

At Nawaz Sharif (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) compare the first sentence of the lead to the versions by Kittensarereallycute and Popsmokes38. Both try and shoehorn in the convicted criminal
addition before even saying he was the prime minister of Pakistan for three non-consecutive terms
