Similar behavior in Articles for deletion/ScoopWhoop (e.g., compare and ) and as noted earlier by  in Articles for deletion/Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies (e.g., compare  with  and ). Note the similar difficulty with English, similar signature styles, similar AfD arguments, small number of edits but the same two AfDs, withdrawing the VIPS nomination when the question was raised by Necrothesp here and even using a sock to give himself a barnstar.

 * - In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
 * 1) At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
 * 2) At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
 * 3) In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  21:21, 8 September 2015 (UTC)


 * I've added the requested diffs above. Let me know if you need more information, please.  Msnicki (talk) 23:30, 8 September 2015 (UTC)


 * - to compare Cutest Penguin and DemonMiner (IndianPanda is stale). Behavior is suspicious enough to warrant a check. Please, do not change the status of the case, leave to SPI clerks.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  14:46, 10 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Sadly, it appears that Cutest Penguin is ✅ to DemonMiner. I've blocked the sock, issued a 1 week block to Cutest Penguin and revoked IPBE. I've also blocked IndianPanda as it's an alternate account of WOWIndian, who has been blocked. Mike V • Talk 20:14, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
 * DemonMiner is older. Shouldn't he be temporarily blocked and Cutest Penguin indeffed?  Vanjagenije  (talk)  17:45, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Normally yes, but in this case it might be best to leave it as is because of the number of edits and rights associated with the Cutest Penguin account. Mike V • Talk 20:31, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
