I'd like for another CU to look at this. They match, but HaughtonBrit denies. Thanks. Drmies (talk) 02:46, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Callanecc, that is what I thought, but the editor protested, as you saw, so I figured having a second pair of eyes and a voice of authority would be prudent. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 15:10, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

AtmaramU was blocked at 13:00, 28 August 2021, Canon8 was created at 14:56, 28 August 2021. Interection of articles is

• Battle of Attock (1758)
• Battle of Peshawar (1758)
• Battle of Saragarhi
• Third Anglo-Afghan War

At the Battle of Saragarhi article was have this from AtmaramU where they removed the result saying Look at WP:RSN Archives about the references. Also not sure what the second reference is suppose to show. Do not see any such statement to back the claim.) Canon8's entire edits to the article are removing the result, saying things like this where they claim There is no statement about victory in either references. They also make the same claim here about the supposedly unreliability of Indian Defence Review, The editor also discusses about Indiandefencereview.com as a third source but it has already been considered highly unreliable on WP:RSP. This claim was completely debunked here in a discussion with AtmaramU. If more evidence is needed please say so, I'd prefer not to have to waste too much time when the quacking is this loud.

4.

•  Looks like a duck to me. DrKay (talk) 17:30, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• I've blocked the IP one month for disruptive editing. (CU cannot confirm IPs). Also, I'm semiprotecting British protectorate, Timur Shah Durrani, the Third Anglo-Afghan War and Battle of Saragarhi. Let me know if other articles are affected. No hardblock seems practical. Clerks should decide if any other action is needed, otherwise this can be closed. Note that the following two named socks of HaughtonBrit were previously blocked:

Created 3 weeks after last socks were blocked.[5]

On Capture of Peshawar (1758), kept adding the name "Jassa Singh Ahluwalia" to infobox and article body like previous socks.[6][7]

Restores 2 "Misl" with misleading edit summary,[8] the edit is same as the earlier sock.[9]

Ensures not to mention "Jassa Singh Ahluwalia" as commander on Battle of Kup.[10][11]

Removes entire infobox from Vadda Ghalughara.[12][13]

Updating flags of Durrani Empire at Battle of Manupur (1748).[14][15]

 Looks like a duck to me. Aman Kumar Goel ^(Talk) 18:22, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Drmies: That information helped me in making the stronger connection. I find that range to be overlapping with both MehmmodS and HaughtonBrit when it comes to same edits to infobox of Afghan-Sikh Wars[16][17] and origin of a Sikh movement.[18][19]

This range was also used for restoring versions by indeffed user "WorldWikiAuthorOriginal" per the edit summaries.[20][21]

WorldWikiAuthorOriginal finds significant similarities in edits with MehmoodS,[22][23] with MehmoodS on Afghan–Sikh Wars adding "the Sikhs defeated the Afghan",[24] and WorldWikiAuthorOriginal adding "The Sikhs defeated the Afghans".[25]

HaughtonBrit was created 2 days[26] after QEDK refused to unblock WorldWikiAuthorOriginal.[27] Aman Kumar Goel ^(Talk) 00:03, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• An observation- HaughtonBrit's another sock 'AtmaramU' is named in same way as 'MehmoodS'. The capital letter at the end. Akshaypatill (talk) 06:03, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• A duck block seems fair to me, but I can not find evidence of other accounts. But one of their ranges, a /60 range blocked by ToBeFree on 12 May 2021 for three years, has a TON of CU checks, many by RoySmith, for a wide variety of reasons, and a ton of editors, including some longterm editors and administrators. So I cannot confirm anything technically, and of course the old socks, they're all stale. Drmies (talk) 18:44, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note that MehmoodS has admitted to being a sock of Haughton Brit, a claim he vehemently died during his July 5 block. 2600:1016:B000:0:0:0:0:0/44 edits: On the page Mahadji Shinde: [28], [29], + a few more edits were made just a few days after his August 10 edit on the same page [30] with the IP 50:50.248.64.249, the same IP he used to resubmit his block request on July 9. The geolocation and behavioral patterns match up precisely. Note that this IP range was also used for block evasion when AtmaramU was temporarily blocked for editing warring on the page Vyasa. IP edit: [31] AtmaramU edit: [32]. Other edits by this range (for brevity purposes I will only link one edit per page even though there may be multiple edits made by IP): [33], [34], [35], [36].
