 * I have no doubt that this is Kkm010 and have blocked as a suspected sock. Leaving this open to get a sweep done as we almost never have just one active sock. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  16:25, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Hydloc009 is ❌. However, Hydloc009 and are ✅ to each other. There is a significant amount of article overlap between the two accounts. Interestingly, it is on Indian articles, whereas ה-זפר’s one-year block was for violations of their topic ban related to Palestinian-Israeli articles. Nonetheless, the behavioral and technical evidence is compelling. My plan therefore is to indefinitely block ה-זפר and to tag the two accounts as socks of each other. Before doing so, though, I will wait to see if there is further input.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:59, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I have increased the block of ה-זפר to indefinite and reblocked/retagged Hydloc009. The only remaining issue is whether we want to create a new case with ה-זפר as the master.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:00, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

User Hydloc009 has been notoriously performing disruptive editing on Indian currency related articles and was also involved in canvasing, which was later removed by Bbb23. User was blocked; review and UTRS declined. User's talkpage access was revoked by BB23. Hydloc has now gone to the extant of PRODing two articles. Pinging involved admins (,, , and . Can an admin please look at the prods marked by this IP (this and this)?Thanks, Arun Kumar SINGH  (Talk)  09:47, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Why is the case marked as closed? has yet to provide a diff and there's an overlap in the articles edited by the IP and the sockmaster. Ugog Nizdast (talk) 03:09, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Please, see comment by below and ask him.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  10:07, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
 * adding to your perplexity over the account, the username appears to be a Hebrew transliteration of Zafar_(name), which points back to the Subcontinent. Brianhe (talk) 21:02, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
 * A really weird and rare intersection of article interests. Ugog Nizdast (talk) 04:02, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

 * - I'm declining the Checkuser tool because privacy policy does not allow to publicly connect usernames with IPs. .&#32;In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
 * 1) At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
 * 2) At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
 * 3) In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  10:08, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
 * See Sockpuppet investigations/Kkm010. Please create a new case with ה-זפר as the master and Hydloc009 as the puppet. You can then close and archive it (at this point it's okay to do both). Then merge this case into the new one. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:07, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
 * ✅.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  19:51, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Regarding 's comments, you can reopen the case and wait for evidence regarding the IP.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:12, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
 * ✅. Do you intend to provide diffs?  Vanjagenije   (talk)  22:58, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
 * No diffs provided in 11 days. Case closed.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  12:37, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
