The person arun nadar123 was blocked due to leagal threatning. As soon as I saw Revision history of Thillai Nataraja Temple, Chidambaram, I came to know that similar reference removal and edits have been made. I hope some one who looks into this also clears these unconstructive edits and reference removal. Shriram (talk) 12:44, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

This edit by Ramesh sharm7546 from 7 March on Sundarar is identical to this edit by Sivamrutham123 from 25 February--note, in particular, the dropping in of numbers in brackets ([7], etc.) that look like references but are not actually. This edit by Ramakrishnan7686 on 9 March is substantially similar (though not identical) to this edit by Ramesh sharma7546 on 7 March 2012. All three have edited essentially the same articles:
 * Sivamrutham123: Sundarar, Gurukkal brahmins, Thirugnana Sambandar
 * Ramakrishnan7686: Thirugnana Sambandar, Tirunavukkarasar
 * Ramesh sharma7546: Thirugnana Sambandar, Sundarar, Tirunavukkarasar, Dikshitar

While at first I thought I could forgive this as possibly just one user who keeps forgetting his password, the master edited on 25 February and again on 11 March, while the other two edited on 7 March and 9 March, respectively. The disruption on Thirugnana Sambandar has prompted a DRN (closed for being premature) and RFPP. If the three are the same user, we can keep the main open and instruct the person to only use a single account, and also indicate that its time for them to talk instead of edit warring.

 * Just for future reference, after Tiptoety blocked the ones below, another one, User:Rajarathna pillai3435, just popped up with much the same edits on Thirugnana Sambandar. I have blocked that one per WP:DUCK. Qwyrxian (talk) 12:53, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

 * The following are all related to one another:


 * Additionally, there is a lot of activity on the IP range and there are still some sleepers that are possible. As such, I'm having a hard time assuming good faith and have indef blocked all the accounts. Tiptoety  talk 05:56, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
 * All accounts blocked. No further action necessary. Closing. (ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 13:37, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Recent edits made to Thillai Nataraja Temple, Chidambaram are similar to those that had been reverted successfully. I am asking for a CheckUser evidence because the article has been edited in a controversial way before, as a result two such users has been blocked for sockpuppetery. So I'm suspecting this the same.

Compare this edit by Nandeeswara nadar1232 and this edit by the blocked sock Rajarathna pillai3435. I've already blocked Nandeeswara nadar1232 because its obviously the same account; I've re-opened the SPI because last time CU found multiple other accounts we had been unaware of, so I'd like a sleeper check.

Have a look at the sockpuppets of Arun nadar123. The person is creating socks to edit the article Thillai Nataraja Temple, Chidambaram. All the edits made by the socks are related to Govindaraja Shrine of the same article. Shriram Talk 06:34, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
