 * Suspected sockpuppets

This SPI request follows on from Sockpuppet_investigations/KondottySultan, as noted there.

The Nair article concerns a caste originating in India. Like many caste articles, it is subject to significant amounts of content dispute which often fails to follow the basics of WP:V, WP:RS etc and discussion on the talk page spirals into insults.

There have been numerous blocks issued, the article is currently (not for the first time) semi-protected, and it has also been necessary to semi-protect the talk page.

There have also been numerous instances of SPAs operating, both as IPs and registered users. Several editors have expressed concerns about possible socking, most recently at User_talk:SpacemanSpiff. Without wanting to go on a fishing expedition, much of the irascibility stems from the repeated raising of dubious speculation on sensitive matters, most recently in this contribution (which I removed, not because of censorship but because it follows a long pattern of dubious, niggling comments with an admitted lack of sources).

I would appreciate a check on the above accounts, and note that both Chothy poorimol and Situshinte Amma are both apparently derogatory names. There may also be sleeper accounts. And there are more potential IPs than I care to list. Sitush (talk) 14:17, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Sigh. Another mess. Following are the same:
 * - There's enough similarities in behaviour here to warrant a checkuser, from what I've seen. Obviously noting that no comments will be made on any related IP addresses. Given the previous case also mentioned here, and the nature of the dispute, sleepers are possible. Let's check. Steven Zhang  The clock is ticking....  00:40, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

 * One set of socks was already blocked, I;ve now blcoked Robbie.Smit and Riyaz Pookoya indefinitely and Shannon1488 temporarily. I would also suggest that the SPI case be split now to two pages -- Shannon1488 and Chothy poorimol, or at the least be renamed to Shannon1488 as that's the main editing account of all. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  07:28, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
