Based on a report at WP:AN3, I blocked the master account for 31 hours for edit warring at Bhumihar. After the block, the puppet (not a new account), came along and made similar edits as the master. Master (puppet . I blocked the puppet for 72 hours for edit warring, but thus far have not amended the block of the master. The CU is requested not only for these two accounts but also for sleepers as there are quite a few strange edits to the same article. However, those edits may simply be driven by many editors with ethnic biases as opposed to the same individual. Finally, as the two listed accounts, there is little behavioral evidence to go on because neither of them talks much, either on article or user talk pages.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:41, 24 June 2014 (UTC) Bbb23 (talk) 23:41, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Something is clearly going on here as a 3rd editor, Alexnews, arrived with the same edits. I've added him but in this case the language is more or less identical of that of Bhumihar brahmin. Dougweller (talk) 10:19, 25 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Yep. I've just added Bpandey89. They haven't edited the article but they are effectively taking the same line as the other two but doing so on user talk pages, eg: here and here. Why they aren't raising it at the article talk page is beyond me but I'll point them in that direction, and also to WP:DEADLINE and WP:CENSORED. However, I am now wondering whether this is more a meatpuppet situation, which is quite common for caste-related articles because the communities co-ordinate off-wiki using Orkut and similar. - Sitush (talk) 17:44, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

 * ✅ for the first two, but Bpandey89 is even though they geolocate from the same region in India.  &mdash; Coren (talk) 04:01, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
 * CU confirmed accounts blocked indef and tagged along with the master. No action on Bpandey89. Closing. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 08:00, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
