Likewise promotion as evident at commons:Special:Log/Shaunak_Chakraborty and elsewhere, this user came to seek undeletion of commons:Shaunak Chakraborty - and it also led me to commons:Special:Log/Naraaz - who also appeared to promote Shaunak's Gyaanipedia and stuff. More at commons:Special:Log/Pokai, and their interest with its promotion on wiki, see for instance, this request for interwiki link. Articles such as World Model United Nations. Elsewhere on Commons: commons: Category:Shaunak Chakraborty. Noting that commons:Shaunak Chakraborty was deleted several years ago, and was created twice by User:Shaunakchak and User:Shaunak Chakraborty (the master) ─ Aafī (talk) 19:04, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- Also noting that, steward
Ajraddatz
advised that filing a CU would be a good step in this case. ─

- @
AmandaNP:, this is what I was fearing for and why I didn't start an SPI straight forwardly (given an old advise of one active Commons CU at:
commons:Special:Permalink/842822672#Unsure). I personally believe the behavioral evidence makes the connection obvious and a CU check might be unwarranted in my own opinion. However, a stewards call and I initiated the SPI but I don't think we have any recent data to which we can technically match the new users or find more sleepers, but the behavioral check makes it a clear {{
Duck}} case. The master had a self-promotion job and these acccounts haven't been caught so far, and have however been engaged in the same task. My interest in this sockfarm is just a result of
commons:Special:Permalink/863453701#Shaunak_Chakraborty. ─

Pokai Shubho affirms that they are Shaunak, so that should be also a confirmed sock, rather than a suspected one. The new Pokai's edit

commons:File:User Kitaab Ka Kida.jpg is also a selfie of Shaunak. ─

- I was going through your remarks which is completely based on suspicion, by these words which I can understand that according to your logic anybody who will add any form of content related to Shaunak Chakraborty will be sock puppet of him. I saw you have again and again mentioned Pokai Shubho, please think logically can someone could be so foolish that he/she can create(in my case it's renamed) an account which is very closed to a banned account, if I would have aware about this earlier, I would have never renamed to Pokai. You also mentioned about Gyaanipedia stuffs, let me clear I'm somehow close to it, if it's required to prove myself innocent I will also declare what kind of closeness I have in future. User:Naraaz is my secondary account, actually when I created an account here via mobile, as I remember after a fews months I was trying to login my account in one of my PC, but don't know why I couldn't able to, then I created a separate account but my intentions were not at all to violate any policy of this platform as I respect it a lot, if any admin would have just drop a message to my talk page I would have stop using the Naraaz account but it was just 2 days ago when you suddenly woke up with multiple allegations, deletions, and so on. Now as I came to know I will stop using that account and will logout from my PC. I am again telling I am not the sock puppet of Shaunak Chakraborty, this allegation is absolutely false and I truly believe this investigation will be resulted in my favour. Lastly I want to say I have no personal issues with you, I hope your misunderstandings will be clear soon.

- Using multiple accounts per policy and disclosing them is not wrong. I myself have a separate mobile account but that's openly dislosed. You have used both of your accounts to the the same job that other socks of Shaunak Chakraborty did. Promote him and his Gyaanipedia and other stuff. The most weird you did was, you uploaded commons:File:User Kitaab Ka Kida.jpg as own work (selfie) and called it your own image, as I indicated in the diff above. My main concern is really less related to your username and more to your activity pattern. ─ Aafī (talk) 19:06, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
- @ Aafi: The earlier reports are from 2019 - we won't have data on those accounts. Do you have something more recent that it can be compared to? -- Amanda (she/her) 02:29, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- I've declined checkuser on this as the last archived case is from 2019 and beyond
Stale. Behavioural evidence will need to be reviewed.--
