Suspected sockpuppets



 * Tools: Editor interaction utility • Interaction Timeline • User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Similar methods of editing. Especially how the banned user tabulates the administrative / political information (formatting style, colors et al.)   and the suspected sock. Interaction here. The first edit of the new user is after a few days the suspected sock master was banned. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:20, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

Similar style of editing in similar articles, especially in Malappuram district. Substatial overlap between the newly created account and the suspected sockmaster. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:01, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Couldn't find any similar diffs as of now, but a new user created on 1 January 2020 goes immediately after the articles frequented by the banned user looks fishy IMO. The Editor Interaction tool just makes it more suspicious. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:54, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

 * I'm not seeing any obvious evidence of socking, just shared interest in the politics of a particular geographic area, which is something I would expect many people are interested in. Could you please provide some specific diffs which show why you think this is a sock, i.e. the "similar style of editing"?  Thanks.  -- RoySmith (talk) 16:38, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
