''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' I have heard from User:Baluperoth (a self identified researcher) via facebook that he uses an institution to access the internet and may have worked via a proxy. He admits to creating an article that was subsequently deleted for lack of notability but states that he has no intention to break any Wikipedia policy and that the other accounts are people he has no knowledge of. Considering that the IPs involved have not used aggravated forms of sockpuppetry like fake debates, it seems that an unblock for his account as requested by him could be considered. Perhaps Baluperoth can make a statement here to verify my interpretation. Shyamal (talk) 15:01, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Baluperoth and Arshaque1993 are, blocked and tagged. Vishnu.akshayprabhu is ❌.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:58, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

 * I'm placing this note here for reference, and will ping Bbb23 and GAB for form's sake: the "likely" outcome is borne out by considerable behavioral evidence. At stake is of course the deleted article Ashique Kuruniyan, created three times over the course of three months by three allegedly different editors. All three version (including the one by User:Vishnu.akshayprabhu, deemed unrelated by CU and unblocked, but dormant) share the same idiosyncrasies. Put on your magic admin glasses, and note the incorrect apostrophe in "to play for it's third team on loan", in all three; note the incorrect punctuation of "Ashique, earlier played" in all three. Note also "It's fake an he went in" in the Vishnu and Ashique versions. As far as I'm concerned Vishnu is also the same editor--or on the same team. If we don't have socking here, we have three unrelated editors working from the exact same draft--now that could be a coincidence too of course. Could. But is not likely.
