Similar to Faizanali.007, Nauriya was previously known as "Fushan007"[1][2], seems to be a sock of Faizanali.007, given the similarity in their names there are many other similarities. Nauriya is a suspicious account that often engages in copyright violations[3][4][5] and these days he has been probably proxying for a topic banned editor for feuding with those with whom he never interacted before.

Reading the contribution of Nauriya, I find him to be a sock of Faizanali.007 along with these other editors.

1. Faizanali.007 was blocked on 30 May 2013.
2. Salarsikandar.81 was created on 19 July 2013 and blocked on 9 October 2013.
3. Tabraiz.18 was created on 10 October 2013 and blocked on 14 October 2013
4. Nauriya aka Fushan007 was created on 6 December 2013.

• First edits of these accounts including Nauriya were creation of user page and talk page, something that UPE socks always do. Their first edit to userpage and talk page provides same meaning:

Nauriya's first two edits.[6][7]

Tabraiz.18's first two edits were also creation of userpage and creation of talk page.[8][9]

Same with Salarsikandar.81.[10][11]

• "This is my User page"[12] (Nauriya)

"this is my talk page"[13] (Salarsikandar.81)

• The timeline of these accounts editing same articles and making same edits is significantly listed by this link of the history of 1st Hum Awards where Faizanali.007 edited much but had his most edits suppressed due to copyvio, and after the block on this editor every other suspected socks including Nauriya joined this article, depending on the timeline and life span.

• Using same upload summary:

"This the poster of Pakistani drama serial Numm, the copyright is completely observed and hold by Geo TV"[14] (Salarsikandar.81)

"This the poster of Pakistani drama serial Shehr-e-Zaat, the copyright is completely observed and hold by Hum TV"[15] (Nauriya)

• Using same image description:

"This is a Television release poster of Hum TV drama serial Mohabbat Subha Ka Sitara Hai 2014, all copyrights are holded by Hum TV and Moomina Duraid Production(Moomal Productions). - Nauriya [16]

"This is a Television release poster of Geo TV drama serial Numm 2013, all copyrights are holded by geo tv and Agha Talish Production. - Salarsikander [17]

There is no word like "holded" neither 't' of 'television' is capitalized.

• I find this shouting by creating the talk page and writing some words in all caps to be rare:[18][19]

• No one has made any significant edit to Hum Award for Best Actor[20] except Nauriya, Tabraiz.18 and Salarsikandar.81.

• Salarsikandar.81 created List of Hum Awards ceremonies and Nauriya is its top contributor.[21]

• No one has added anything or significantly edited Template:Hum Awards hosts [22] except Nauriya and Salarsikandar.81.

• Salarsikandar.81 created Sania Saeed with an infobox [23] and Nauriya updated that infobox.[24]

• Sometimes gives large edit summary by writing words in caps.[25][26]

• Faizanali.007 and Nauriya modified image parameter of Fawad Khan.[27][28]

• Faizanali.007 added "Infobox award" for Noman Ijaz [29] while Nauriya added multiple awards.[30]

• Salarsikandar.81 created a redirect[31] and Nauriya changed the redirect.[32] Only these two editors have edited that page.[33] Lorstaking (talk) 04:05, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

@Nauriya: You are aware of the relevant policies on multiple accounts,[34] you were blocked on Tabraiz.18 for sock puppetry,[35] still you have highly evaded scrutiny by editing same articles and engaging in the same severe policy violations as those blocked accounts. On other two accounts, you were blocked for your copyright violations that you have continued with this account. You are not blocked for proxy abuse.[36][37] Things like these maybe banned for access in China, but its a crime in China to bypass the censorship. Given how much China has been cracking down on VPNs and proxies, I don't think you were able to edit from China with a proxy. You could make up a better story if you had researched a but little more. Even if your superficial claim that you have committed that crime in China is believed upon, your actions still violate the policy on accessing multiple accounts.

I agree that I filed this SPI because you appear to be an obvious disruptive sock as you filed a spurious AE report against an editor you don't even know and the most spurious SPI against me and other established users that you don't even know about. You are still acting like a disruptive sock with these comments. Read WP:ALLSOCKS. Sorry, no one will consider your SPI that you have filed, it should be better deleted as an attack page or patent nonsense. Admin shopping[38] is also unhelpful.

Reveal the entire truth. Tell us here that who told you to file those spurious SPIs? It is obvious than 1+1=2 that you can't file any of those SPIs with your understanding and you can't become familiar with those editors to that degree overnight, as your own highly unrelated history with those editors and your grasp of English[39][40] speaks volumes when it comes to the filing of those spurious SPIs..

Comments by other users

Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims. All I can say in my defence is that I have been assessed for all these accounts. And they were all when I barely knew Wikipedia in 2013. After that I did get blocked for uploading images (copyright issues) and using proxy, because I was in China, where everything is blocked and was given a proxy exemption. Since I learnt Wikipedia policies and procedures, I have never been involved in any conflict or edit warring. I have created over thousand articles with this account and never had any problem. My last account which I created is the same as this one because I requested a name change. And since then I have never used or accessed any other account. You can check my history, look into it and you will know. There is nothing to hide or any thing wrong so I will contest this till end for what I have worked so hard to built over five years. I had a rough start but since then I have done nothing but to contribute to this platform with my fare share of efforts, unlike others.

The only reason I see this SPI is because the filer himself is suspected of current meat puppetry/sock puppetry which I reported. This is a retaliatory SPI. So I request admins to look into my accounts and then decide for themself. Unlike the filer I am not involved in any disruption or abuse of multiple accounts.

I am not lying, it was back in 2013, you can see these accounts were created in 2013 and I came back at the end of 2015. I was using paid VPN and I did not used it just for Wikipedia, I used to it access Google and other sites as well.And I dont know how I can prove that. As much as I admit my mistake I didnt knew at that time for using multiple account policies. And regarding SPIs, this is me as well. Sometimes it is for the sake of Wikipedia only not our personnel grudge. It is Wikipedia, not India-Pakistan hate platform. When I saw such discussion I was prompt to look into the issues and thats why I did it. This is Wikipedia, thats why I dont engage in personal editing rather I approach for neutrality. And the paragraph I wrote in my defence which you pointed out the difference in English, I wrote it through my phone, and I wrote in circumstances when I was not expecting this, I read it again I added things later, if it were on my computer I would be more careful (this edition is also after saving this comment) The issue here is my account, I have worked on it very sincerely. And I will not lie about it. I wish I knew more about the policies back then but once I had this account, my focus shifted drastically to work on it more accurately. Nauriya Let's talk 10 July 2018

Would that count as I hide this or abuse through multiple accounts? I didn't lie back then, I won't lie now. As I said, these were when I didn't knew the policies, although I was warned, as it may appears in his history of those accounts. Acknowledging something I did out of not having enough guidance back in 2013, I regret that I should have asked for help. I did not know back then the right way of editing, and familiar with Wikipedia policies and to that I can only ask for your pardon. We all make mistakes, and I learned from mine, as you can see my history for past five years how I have evolved and edited this platform. I assume good faith and nothing else, I ask for clemency in this case as it is all in the past and I didn't knew it could have come like this. Nauriya, Let's talk 17:58, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

@Nauriya: Are you acknowledging that the three 2013 accounts were all operated by you? BTW, please WP:SIGN your posts.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:31, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
