 * attempted to take over another article to promote one Birmal Hembram (DOB: 29 June 2003) . is doing precisely the same thing.  . It's not a weird attempt at contributing to the article, as none of the timelines add up given Timotheas Hembrom was ordained 18 years  and published work 7 years before Birmal Hembram was supposedly born, and I have rolled the edits back. This seems to be an inept attept at self-promotion at the cost of existing Wikipedia articles and I think firmly cements both  and the master into the category of not being here to build an encyclopaedia. Given there is clear cross-wiki promotion on enwiki, simple wiki and wikidata; someone has already (quite rightly) asked the stewards for a global lock. --Jack Frost (talk) 04:55, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I have also added  and   above; both of whom are already blocked as sockpuppets, but whom also quack loudly. Given we are up to four accounts now,  to check for any additional accounts. --Jack Frost (talk) 05:23, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

See as follows:
 * Same initial comments of being a new contributor (ᱫᱚᱞᱚᱱ ᱯᱨᱳᱵᱟᱥ, Dolon Provas, Birmal123, Muchiram hansda, Narendranath Hembram, Taras Hembram)
 * False advanced permission claims (ᱫᱚᱞᱚᱱ ᱯᱨᱳᱵᱟᱥ on en.wiki, ᱫᱚᱞᱚᱱ ᱯᱨᱳᱵᱟᱥ on simple, ᱫᱚᱞᱚᱱ ᱯᱨᱳᱵᱟᱥ on bn.wiki, known sock Muchiram Hansdah12 on en.wiki)
 * Subject overlap: e.g., created Dagar Tudu articles on sister projects (e.g., simple, bn.wiki, hi.wiki, etc.)  Known sock  previously moved now-deleted (with G5 rationale) Draft:Dagar Tudu.
 * Known sock uploads File:Santali Writer.jpg and added to sat:ᱵᱤᱨᱢᱚᱞ ᱦᱮᱢᱵᱨᱚᱢ, which is edited by ᱫᱚᱞᱚᱱ ᱯᱨᱳᱵᱟᱥ (and other known socks (ᱵᱤᱨᱢᱟᱞᱤ, etc.)
 * Birmal Hembramm has no diffs as they've not edited, but they've attached. Check per name and block for evasion on simple (created simple:Birmal Hembram(Journalist) - compare to known sock  creating Draft:Birmal Hembram on en.wiki).

Please also consider moving SPI/changing master to as that account is older than, also to unify Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Birmal123 and Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Birmal Hembram as these are all the same. Эlcobbola talk 15:07, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Golmala came to my attention as a problematic editor at Sari Katha. Now I see they are CU-blocked on simplewiki (that CU told me the master), so here I'm filing the pool they identified to me "these were /perfect/ matches". To keep the other fresh evidence solid, note that one of this new set is same name as the article that Golmala was editing, and that Golmala engaged in userpage behavior that matches other older socks.

I blocked Golmala. The others have not logged into enwiki so I cannot block them. So there's nothing more to do here I assume. DMacks (talk) 10:47, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

Became active after the last batch of socks was blocked in late November. Creating incoherent articles related to 'tribes' - compare Adivasi Segel Abhiyan and Sari Katha. Similar elaborate userpage to previous sock. Editing Santali Wikipedia. Spicy (talk) 15:19, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
