Suspected sockpuppets
This user has in the span of a short time edited (edit warred) through four accounts in the same article (Mughal garden), making the same edits in regards to this "Amrit Udyan name"

This makes me wonder if they are connected to any older, indeffed one? Their editing in that article is certainly not constructive. HistoryofIran (talk) 13:29, 28 January 2023 (UTC)


 * 14 years old account with very few edits resumes editing after two years by edit warring as well . Something’s deffo off. HistoryofIran (talk) 17:31, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Additionally, both Barman koushik and Abhishek4857 created their accounts on the same day and . And the first edit each account made was to add the same info about the name to the mughal garden article  and . Dinkar.d hadn't made edits in two years and the first, most recent, edit they made was adding the same info about the name change  followed by Akhouri Rishabh . Both users also wrote almost similar edit summaries: 'Name changed' and 'Name is changed'. Thanks. Eucalyptusmint (talk) 20:44, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * The ages of these accounts (one from 2009, two that are over two years old) and the nature of the edits make me suspect that this is not socking but different people perhaps responding to discussion of the article on social media or independently reacting to a controversial event that was in the news. The similarity between "Abhishek62037" and "Abhishek4857" is a bit suspicious, but it's a common name, and as the latter account has only made one edit I don't think any administrative action would be necessary even if they turned out to be the same person. I note that the article was semi-protected at the time and reinstating protection would probably be the best choice if disruption re-occurs. My inclination is to close this without further action, but I will leave this open in case others disagree. Spicy (talk) 01:25, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
 * The two Abhishek accounts, and Barman koushik which was created on the same day, are all . I did not check the others. I'm inclined to agree with . Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:22, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Closing without action per above. Spicy (talk) 15:47, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
