Suspected sockpuppets



 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

I ran into this user adding Indic script to the lead at Priyadarshini Chatterjee. Regardless of my clear explanations, they kept doing it. Blocked them. The typical stubborn, do-what-I-want editing inspired me to start looking around. So, the facts. CyberBrinda appears to focus solely on models and international modeling. It is believed that the Flood set of sockpuppets were actually related to Mrdhimas, an older sockmaster, but the CU data was stale, so a conclusive connection could not be made.


 * An intersection analysis shows that CyberBrinda has edited at several articles in common with the Floods.
 * Miss United Continents, which is edited almost entirely by JulioFlood, IPv6s from Chicago (Road Runner), and CyberBrinda. It's a Salvadorian beauty pageant. These intersections in an article so lightly traveled, is significant. The article was also created by JulioFlood, who we know is prone to sockpuppetry, and who would naturally return to it after he got blocked and created a new account.
 * Miss Earth, where Brinda also intersects with Mrdhimas. It's a Filipino beauty pagent.
 * Miss World, where Brinda also intersects with Mrdhimas. It's a British organization.
 * In the same report, Brinda also intersects with Mrdhimas at Femina Miss India, List of beauty pageants, and Miss Universe (but does not intersect with the Floods). That they are active across a wide number of international beauty pageants is of interest.

I think a CU might be beneficial here, please. And should it turn up positive, it would be worth noting that CyberBrinda created:


 * Senorita India 2016
 * Senorita India
 * Rashi Yadav
 * Grand Slam international beauty pageants
 * Pankhuri Gidwani
 * Miss Supernational (deleted)

So these articles would be potential targets for future sockpuppetry. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 07:15, 27 August 2016 (UTC) Cyphoidbomb (talk) 07:15, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

I've declined the CU request. As far as I can tell, just as with Sockpuppet investigations/Mrdhimas, the accounts are stale. BTW, regardless of staleness, if behavior connects these two cases, we should keep only the one. Starting a new case makes no sense.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:38, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
