This appears to be promotion around the Uttar Pradesh government. The master first created Dial 100 Service. That article had some problem tags added and then immediately Manan49s came in to do some clean up and promo. Manan49s has also been involved in other adverts like Varun Manian which was deleted as adverts by both and  and this is part of another sock farm (many blocked). Manan49s then moved to Akhilesh Yadav, adding this, which was soon reverted. Subsequently, Buff 4u was created to that promo campaign. This is an obvious PR/paid coi campaign, not sure what the other/main accounts are, so bringing here for a CU check to figure out what's really going on. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  03:53, 24 September 2016 (UTC)


 * What is the use of wiki page if it contains outdated information? Akhilesh Yadav holds government office (Chief Minister) for 4 years (2012 to 2016). I wanted to add a line about his work. I even changed as per Sitush's suggestion to State Government. But, even then Sitush deleted it. This shows that he has taken control of the page and has a personal agenda.


 * Please note that "Absolute power corrupts absolutely". Please do not try to brand everything as promotion.


 * Sitush is manipulating Wiki safeguards to his own advantage.


 * Sitush may have contributed significantly to wiki, but that does not mean he is above all and can take control of wiki pages. This is normal human nature to consider oneself superior and above law after achieving something significant in life.


 * But Sitush should understand that Wiki is way much bigger than him and he has no right to take absolute control of pages. Buff 4u2000 (talk) 07:26, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

 * The Akhilesh Yadav has been subject to periodic bouts of promo edits, of which these are typical. BTW,, I am not an admin and so can't block anyone. In any event, I'd be way too involved due to my own past edits at that article. - Sitush (talk) 12:37, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * Comment: I do not see how anything in Buff's reply is relevant to whether he is a sockpuppet of a banned user. As for his edits. repeatedly adding "ome of his focus areas include helping the poor and fighting corruption." and "as a Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav has introduced a development program that aims for the welfare of all. " paraphrased from a clearly promotional bio in a little-known Indian newspaper is anything but blatant promotion, for which   who twice reverted it would have been justified in blocking.

 * The three accounts are ❌.
 * The following accounts are ✅:
 * Of the two confirmed accounts, Chints247 is the older. Of all the accounts, Buff 4u2000 is the oldest.
 * I've blocked the two confirmed accounts without tags and leave the rest up to clerks and other administrators.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:38, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I've tagged the socks. A clerk should move the page to Chints247, which is the oldest confirmed account. Katietalk 15:07, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
