 * The report below was filed out of order with this one, and the later report was processed first. Since Kemilliogolgi was checked and confirmed in that report, closing this one as a duplicate. please use the form on the main WP:SPI page to file new reports - the report you filed here was missing some important code. Thanks. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:59, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

 * 1) All accounts were created around the same time, 3 November - 10 December 2023.
 * 2) All are interested in MILHIST (specifically Indian MILHIST).
 * 3) DeepstoneV and Kemilliogolgi Consecutively edited Deccani–Vijayanagar wars., Siege of Channapatna  and Siege of Vijayanagar.
 * 4) DeepstoneV and Kemilliogolgi have recently voted in Articles for deletion/Maratha–Nizam wars.
 * 5) DeepstoneV and Kemilliogolgi are heavily involved in Ghaznavid campaigns in India.
 * 6) Both clearly couldn't distinguish between WP:RAJ and WP:RS sources and continued to remove constructive edits done by user Rawn3012 in Conquest of Ajmer.
 * 7) Interestingly Kemilliogolgi in User talk:Aura G666/sandbox asked "How is it going? Everything is fine?" (in Urdu) to yet another user and they replied "Yes, but how can we publish articles here" this shows that Kemilliogolgi is not only involved in sockpuppetry but also meatpuppetry with many users.
 * 8) We have also found Hassan Gangu in many instances editing consecutively with DeepstoneV and Kemilliogolgi. Like in Siege of Jinji (1698)., Adil Shahi dynasty, Ramkot Fort , Bahmani–Vijayanagar War (1362–1367) , Siege of Chittorgarh (1535) , Umayyad campaigns in India , Alauddin Khalji  and Battle of Nagaur
 * 9) Consecutively both asked some favours from the user.
 * 10) Kemilliogolgi reverted an edit to the version of Hassan Gangu.
 * 11) Both were found at the talk page of
 * 12) DeepstoneV and Hassan Gangu voted in Talk:Maratha Empire


 * Ribosome786 and Aryaputram7:


 * 1) Acounts were created between 30 March - 4 April
 * 2) Both are heavily interested in Indian MILHIST
 * 3) DeepstoneV and Aryaputram7 are editing around Gupta Empire related articles
 * 4) DeepstoneV edits Aryaputram7's Draft:Battle of Eran

I agree with that the first three seem to be socks, based off the given evidence, similar account creation dates, and single-purpose editing on Indian milhist articles. However, the recently added two, Ribosome786 and Aryaputram7 don't seem to be as there is no evidence for the former and the evidence for the latter is exclusively for editing the same draft, while it could just be that both editors are interested in the same topic. They did "talk" to each other on the draft's talk. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 12:59, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

@HistoryofIran: What is your stance on this? You seem to have a lot of experience dealing with these recent Indian milhist editors, and based off your previous report, do you think that DeepstoneV, whom we encountered in the Gupta Empire reference dispute, and the other suspected socks are related to those mentioned in your report and thus a part of the same "Discord group"? Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 23:55, 15 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi Flemmish. For some reason I didn't get your ping, happened to get here by chance. I don't really know the other users, but DeepstoneV is certainly not part of the Discord group, as they keep clashing with its members. The listed users seems to be clashing with the Discord group too. Though I am pretty suspicious of Based Kashmiri, also notice that in the thread, Based Kashmiri stopped commenting after Malik-Al-Hind appeared, almost as if they substituted (weak evidence, but still, considering everything else). I'll see if I can find more. HistoryofIran (talk) 11:49, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

The user in question is persistently disrupting Wikipedia and trying to push his PoV. Also he definitely seems to be using sockpuppetry. Might even be a sock of the indef blocked user Sudsahab perhaps? PadFoot2008

 * Edits article created by Kemilliogolgi 23 hours after he was blocked
 * Edits the favorite article of this sockfarm.Ghaznavid campaigns in India.

 * Well, this is fun. I'd say that is pretty much ❌ to the socks from this case that I compared them against, but they are somewhere in the vicinity of ✅ to  and, and also to the unblocked account . I will block, but the tagging in that case is a bit confusing - pinging ,  and  who had a conversation that didn't appear to reach a resolution about these account at the bottom of Sockpuppet investigations/Thewikiuser1999/Archive.
 * While investigating I discovered that AdityaNakul has been socking as, which I will now block. Girth Summit  (blether)  13:50, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * , everything about those cases is confusing. Just thinking about it makes me want to go and read my book. Drmies (talk) 15:46, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Weren't you going to throw away that book?--Bbb23 (talk) 16:48, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * There are so many sockpuppets on the large ranges that these users edit from that there's practically no value in determining who is whose sock; that they are confirmed to some other blocked account is enough. Leaving untagged and closing. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 12:58, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

 * - identical edit to made by, blocked following a SPI on 26 May 2024
 * - restoring changes made by DeepstoneV between 3 March 2024 and 1 April 2024.
 * The account was created on 29 May 2024, after the blocking of the sockpuppets listed in the above investigation.

Based on these edits, I believe it is reasonable to assume there is a link between Patience54 and DeepstoneV. Adam Black talk &bull;  contribs 20:24, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Comment Another open sockpuppet investigation case exists at Sockpuppet_investigations/AdityaNakul, the oldest known account of this sockfarm. Ratnahastin  (talk) 07:54, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I noticed that Ivanvector had linked to Sockpuppet investigations/AdityaNakul above but thought this was the best place to put Patience54 as the investigation into DeepstoneV was here. I'm quite new to SPI, I think this is only the second report I've made, so if this was the wrong place to add this user I apologise and will try to make sure I'm in the right place in future.

 * A recently created account that has surprisingly large overlap with the previous socks.
 * Restoring sockpuppet edits across multiple articles.

 * Editing from the mobile web just like all the previous socks
 * Article overlap
 * Similar edit summary usage
 * Roberthooke003
 * WP:DUCK Attacking me and several others like his previous socks Ratnahastin  (talk) 07:13, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 * These edits of Roberthooke003 are exactly the same as  Kemilliogolgi's block appeal(one of the confirmed socks). If they are not a sockpuppet then they certainly are a meatpuppet and should be blocked for performing proxy edits for a banned user(through possible off-wiki coordination).

 * Constructive45 is ✅, blocked and tagged. Haven't checked Roberthooke003 myself but the log tells me that they're very unlikely or unrelated to this case. Closing. --Blablubbs (talk) 00:06, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hooke is confirmed to Kemilliogolgi, but in a different country than Constructive45. I dont have time to look into the causes of that this case's somewhat odd technical profile right now, but I have blocked the account. --Blablubbs (talk) 03:06, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

 * .&#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.

 * Large overlap with the previous socks
 * Restored the revision of the last sock
 * Restored the same edit
 * Changed the infobox image


 * Confirmed sock DeepstoneV removed this part, who was reverted here. This, apparently less used suspected sock reinstated DeepstoneV's edit here. Editing area overlaps. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 19:13, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Dabuno is ✅ to recent socks such as DeepstoneV..
 * MiaKrishLingum is ❌, but they and their sock are both  to Sockpuppet investigations/Nangparbat. MiaKrishLingum was created less than a day after the most recent known sock was blocked, both accounts share the case's esoteric interest overlap in Pakistani military operations and child sexual abuse, and the user also logs out to hide their edits. They are also.
 * Closing. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 20:07, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
