 * Focus is almost exclusively on two articles AvinashCabral was interested in: Conversion of non-Hindu places of worship into temples and Maratha Invasion of Goa (1683). Distinctive behavior at both, including introduction of identical copy: the diffs listed in the complaint, in the case of the former; and, in the case of the latter, a fixation on the infobox framing the invasion as unsuccessful, including attempts by both accounts to insert the phrase "status quo ante bellum" .  for an indefinite block of AssamPatriot as a sockpuppet of AvinashCabral based on behavioral evidence. CU  as unnecessary.  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 05:23, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Thanks, RegentsPark. No need to withdraw. The case just gets archived. It's useful to have a paper trail.  Next one should probably get a sleeper check. Closing.  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 18:57, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Comparison of JayaSwami edit with AlexanderPasta edit at Conversion of non-Hindu places of worship into temples. Interest in, an AvinashCabral creation that has never received a substantive edit from anyone other than AC sox , and a few users cleaning up after them. .

See this original article. This is almost the same the suspected sockpuppet has done on Goa Island (India). The original revision was done 2 years ago, it is to be noted that AvinashCabral has sockpuppets created over a year ago as well that have been blocked. The sudden interest in recreating an exact article, is one of the main reasons I'm creating this investigation. Rejoy2003(talk) 10:11, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Already blocked, and I think it's a good block. A check did not turn up anything of particular interest, but this account spent a lot of time on a very busy range with many unrelated editors. I'll move this through the workflow. Courcelles (talk) 17:07, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
