For starters, they have similar usuernames. Both accounts have the surname Patel, though a common Indian last name, the pages they are editing are the same as Dangerpatel who is currently blocked for repeated disrupted editing. This edit by Pappupatel is reinstating a similar edit done by Dangerpatel.

Before creating an account, Dangerpatel edited using the range 117.198.74.0/19. Compare the edits being made at the article Ahmedabad and the IPs for further evidence that he was using that range. In general, the information about cities he edits are about population something that Dangerpatel and Pappupatel share interest in. Another example is him editing as an IP and Dangerpatel reinstating his edit after someone reverted his first edit. This is him editing as an IP and Pappupatel making a similar edit. Here's some evidence that Dangerpatel edits the range. From Dangerpatel's history he has an interest in airports in India.

His favorite article, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport is currently protected, this explains why he hasn't gone their yet. But looking at the article Surat Airport which Pappupatel has edited, you can see that the IP edited the page as well as Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. I'd block myself, but would be probably considered involved. Elockid (Alternate) ( Talk ) 17:29, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment. It's him no doubt - WP:Block evasion, including some stuff trapped at the edit filter. I'd consider myself involved as I've been battling him on WP:OR. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  18:36, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Per behavioral evidence I've blocked Pappupatel as a sockpuppet, and I've reset the master's block for three months for puppeting. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 20:09, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
