Suspected sockpuppets
FanCode page is having surely a conflict of interest. The page is accepted by AFC. ChristinaNY, and Lorenzo_the_great are already blocked by admin.

Other 2 are not only active but have AFC rights and are likely to be sockpuppet of each other.

RPSkokie. 1. They used advanced scripts on their first day, a clear sign of WP:NANE. 2. They also started an AFD on their Day 1 which is highly unusual for a new editor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Sanjay_Ezhava 3. They accepted a clear non-notable draft through AFC which was sent back to drafts later: 5. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Tasneem_Ahmad_Siddiqui 4. Similarly moved another page to mainspace which was non notable and reverted https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Sindhu_Central_University&redirect=no

Second is Akevsharma 1. Started with name Iamfarzan and then changed it to Akevsharma. Changed the religion itself (which is weird, both are very different names). 2. Started with writing on talk page of a different user. Most of the new users try to figure out environment. Writing on someone’s talk page is definitely advanced. 3. Non-notable page patrolled https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dushara_Vijayan,

Initally they both accepted the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fore_School_of_Management which was non notable and having conflict of interest. Sonofstar (talk) 09:59, 25 July 2022

2. editing history is clearly saying that such dedication to edit from mobile can only come if there is any conflict of interest and all these accounts are interacting and influencing company pages. I know few more editors, which I will share once I am 100% sure that they are sock. RPSkokie I came to know during the page of Fore School. I guess, this information is enough to start the investigation or I can share more. Oh, You should also check this https://sigma.toolforge.org/editorinteract.py?users=Akevsharma&users=The+Footballean&users=&startdate=&enddate=&ns=&server=enwiki It is a big group but I need time to share. Also,Synergy Marine Group the first time nominator is also blocked, there is a high probability that they themself nom it. So the last sock group is also belong to them. Infact majority of the keep voters are blocked considering sock of someone. I request to involve some expert editors here. To dig this in detail Sonofstar (talk) 11:51, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Well offpage evidence. Ok, let me share you one more example: Synergy Marine Group. Twice this page is nominated. The nomination was withdrawn later by the sockpuppet editor so the delete vote turned to keep vote by Akevsharma (IamFarzan). I don't understand why someone will vote delete first then change to keep with just a small twist in the content. During 2nd nomination of the page, without trying to put keep again, Draftify vote is given by Akevsharma. Surely, some COI ?  and guess who is the nominated the page!!  sock of.

 * They could have problematic behavior (including one of them canvassing me to the FanCode AfD off wiki) but you haven't provided evidence for why they could be the same person. 0x Deadbeef 13:13, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I updated my comment, and  please check. Sonofstar (talk) 12:18, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Still no evidence. None of the evidence you added suggest that they are the same person. Sockpuppet investigations/Alphaonekannan/Archive was an investigation around the FanCode AfD, which Akevsharma has participated in. If he was a sock, it would have been caught by CU. 0x Deadbeef 12:42, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Editing pattern is same everytime. They themselves nominate and then protect the page in the middle they force the organisation to pay. Not sure how exactly CU checking works if it is for listed user or all users. However for prime account they might be using different ip. In this case there geo location will be same. I can share more evidence however this pattern is enough to check. Sonofstar (talk) 13:15, 26 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Changed my religion? How does my username helps you to tell my religion? This is racism... Akevsharma (talk) 05:46, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I have nothing to do with Synergy Marine Group. There are a lot of socks who nominate articles for deletion. There, along with many other users, I take part. Does this imply that we are all socks? These IDs are actively campaigning against their own nomination.It doesn't make sense to me either. I did spend the most of my time on AFDs and AFCs. Its just coincidental that I came across them. In Synergy's AFD, my first vote was delete. Then I changed it to Keep as per WP:HEY. I gained a lot of knowledge from my blunders after taking part in numerous AFDs. My initial vote in Synergy wasn't determined by our enwiki guidelines. Therefore, I had to alter my viewpoint in the second AFD. This company is a major company in the shipping sector. It seemed nicer to me if it had been moved to draft. Why couldn't I vote "keep" if I were a sock? Akevsharma (talk) 06:15, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * My explanation to this accusation " https://sigma.toolforge.org/editorinteract.py?users=Akevsharma&users=The+Footballean&users=&startdate=&enddate=&ns=&server=enwiki ". Well I like football. My first edits were primarily football-related. I am currently an AFC reviewer. Now I spend all of my important time there. Football is a sport that many people throughout the world enjoy! Akevsharma (talk) 07:34, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The other accusations I am facing, like connecting to  sounded absolutely absurd. Both of us had accepted one article in common at AFC so I am his sock ? Akevsharma (talk) 08:09, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Everytime same people are nominating. In all the 3 AFD Discussion ( 2 times synergy, 1 Fancode) and same people are trying to protect. Such type of conincident don't happen on wikipedia. Clearly, all of you are coordinating. Apart from that I do have off wiki evidence for a page. At last don't take the shelter of Racism. The fact is fact, people might change name but not in such a way, yes very much exceptions are welcome. Sonofstar (talk) 04:49, 6 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I am not taking shelter of racism. I've only spoken the truth. What is my religion relationship to this SPI. As you stated, facts are facts. What is this fact you're referring to? I changed my username, am I the only one? Akevsharma (talk) 09:46, 6 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Fancode and Synergy have led you to suspect me. The rationale for synergy has already been discussed. Let me now elaborate on Fancode. I'm Fancode's AFC reviewer. I'm merely stating my justification for accepting Fancode by that keep vote. I have so far taken part in 49 AFDs. Two of them are Fancode and Synergy. Provide evidence (even offwiki) rather than simply accusing me if I'm a member of this sock farm. Akevsharma (talk) 09:51, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Please note that any off-wiki evidence should not be posted here, but would need to be communicated privately to CheckUsers. See WP:CONTACTCU. 0x Deadbeef 12:46, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

 * What evidence is there that these accounts are being used by the same person?  —&#8288;Scotty Wong &#8288;— 22:40, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Closing. Most of these are already blocked and I don't see a strong enough connection for Akevsharma and RPSkokie. I see that you blocked most of these. Did those two usernames appear in the check?  The SandDoctor  Talk 19:20, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * - Akevsharma cropped up in a check on a fairly wide, busy range that all the socks were using, but their UAs were different from the ones the socks were using. Absent a behavioural match, it's not enough to go on. RPSkokie did not appear in the checks. Girth Summit  (blether)  09:21, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your feedback and the extra bit of info,, it is greatly appreciated. To the clerks watching this, barring any disagreements, I think this is ready to archive without further action. I would advise to file again for these two should stronger (on-wiki) evidence be found. In the case of off-wiki evidence, I would advise contacting the Arbitration Committee (or following WP:CONTACTCU) instead as this venue isn't capable of handling non-public evidence (see WP:OUTING and its "Exceptions" subheading).
