Suspected sockpuppets
Compare the additions made by the recent IP editor with those made by sockpuppets of Algebraical. I am involved at the Body Offering (novel) article so would prefer this to be handled by another administrator (please consider blocking the /64). DanCherek (talk) 14:53, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
Algebraical and all of their sockpuppets are all essentially SPAs in the topic area of the Indian writer Makarand Paranjape, a description that also describes these two new accounts.

Evidence linking JNUmaverick to, a CU-confirmed sockpuppet of Algebraical, and other socks:
 * Similarities in edits to Makarand Paranjape: compare AdultRater's "Political views" section with JNUmaverick's "JNU" section  – many sentences and citations are exactly the same
 * Obsession with adding this specific Sunday Guardian source as the very first citation in the article: vs.

Evidence linking JNUmaverick to AdleNut:
 * Among AdleNut's first edits is removing the More citations needed tag at Linguistics then responding on their talk page that it is too old . Among JNUmaverick's first edits is removing the More citations needed tag at Linguistics  then responding on their talk page that it is too old.

Evidence linking AdleNut to AdultRater:
 * Compare AdleNut's addition of It was reported in the press that the wedding festivities were attended by Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and Robert Vadra. (broken up over 8 edits) versus AdultRater's It was reported in the press that the wedding festivities were attended by Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and Robert Vadra.

 * The following are unambiguously ✅ to one another, and they are very likely technically to archived data for the proposed master.
 * Blocking all; taking behaviour into account as well, I'm just tagging them all as confirmed. Girth Summit  (blether)  10:45, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Noting that legal threats in an unblock request led to revoking talk page access; I have rechecked the CU data, and am very confident that these are all the same person, not just different people working in the same office. I am reblocking without all socks without TPA to avoid any further disruption of that sort.   Girth Summit  (blether)  11:04, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
