Suspected sockpuppets

On 1 December 2017, Dahiya1208 was topic banned from all edits related to South Asian social groups due to their disruptive behaviour on subjects related to Jats, as a result of WP:GS/Caste. Since then, the user has been blocked twice for repeated violations of this ban. Around the same time the user’s first block was placed, the account Rbnjat was created, but did not edit right away. The account only made a few edits from late June to early July before going dormant. On 6 September, Dahiya1208 was blocked 3 months for continued violations of their TBAN. A month later, Rbnjat resumed normal editing activity, once again editing in the same areas as the suspected master, a violation of WP:EVADE. A week after the previous block was lifted, on 13 December, the page Dahiya was tagged for speedy deletion, resulting in this series of contested deletions. It’s very suspicious that all 5 of these users would contest a deletion like this, all with the same reasons, and within minutes of each other. To this day, Dahiya1208 continues to violate their topic ban, as well as disrupting an ongoing related RfD. I am opening this investigation as a case of possible ban evasion, and am requesting CheckUser to check for any sleeper accounts. 66.87.148.69 (talk) 02:04, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

I know we can't do CU on anons but I'd say this is an obvious sock, given their revert within an hour of some of my changes to Dahiya Badshah. Sitush (talk) 12:46, 4 January 2019 (UTC)


 * And I have just added another that has appeared since. Perhaps this is meatpuppetry instead? Definitely something weird going on. It has long been the case that the Dahiya community failed GNG and no-one really bothered about that being the case. - Sitush (talk) 15:08, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

I protected the page for a week due to the multiple IPs. Both IPs are Idea mobile networks so probably the same person. Nothing else appears to be needed to be done here so marking as closed. Galobtter (pingó mió) 15:27, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
