Soinsidigital is a editor paid ("...as a marketing guy it is my responsibility to make sure that all the information on the page is...") to whitewash Lovely Professional University (He wrote at my talk "...this is my page and wanted to remove all the unwanted and false information from my page..."). After a lengthy and evasive discussion at my talk, I beleive Soinsidigital gave up and decided to register Vineet.Zen. That account registered 05:54, 20 January 2016. My last post at my talk, to which he did not reply, was 05:32, 20 January 2016. He then began to whitewash the article in much the same way as Soinsidigital. Compare and. Note in those two series of edits the removal of references, the addition of the "+" sign to student numbers, and the removal of the mascot. Two more major edit series by soinsidigital are here:

In contrast to that evidence, this new user has responded to a coi caution post at his talk with uncharacteristic language and style which could indicate he is meat or unrelated. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:30, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

And now IP 223.30.216.71 has removed the violence on campus section that Soinsidigital wished to have removed. www.soinsi.com/ which is where Soinsidigital got his username is headquartered in Noida, the same place the IP geolocates to. I think soinsi.com may have been hired by the university.

 * Definitely ✅, alongside at least the following:
 * In fact, everything that comes from the IP range is – at best – suspect and spammy. I'm give the apparent subrange of soinsi.com's minions a long, hard block and the whole hoster a longer soft block (no legit editing should be coming from there, really). &mdash; Coren (talk) 14:34, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Suspected sockpuppets



Evidence is duck. This user is an spa who is whitewashing Lovely Professional University in much the same fashion as previous socks, i.e. removing violence on campus section. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:32, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

 * So taking a look at this, it's the same country and same UA, but the geolocation is useless and there are other possible accounts. So I'd like another CU to review it. Maybe ? -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 12:37, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * : Yep; I'm pretty sure all three are the same. &mdash; Coren (talk) 16:52, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Indeffing and tagging . One of the four accounts is older than the named master however one account that is in the archive, is the oldest of all that have been listed so far. It appears that we have left this named sock for familiarity?  would you like me to move to the oldest account or is there a reason to leave as is? I've blocked them but not tagged yet.
 * As long as everything is retagged, feel free to do whatever you feel is necessary. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 15:49, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Case name moved to BringSmile, tagged four accounts above but didn't need to tag those in the archive as had previously done so correctly (thank you Anna). Closing.
