 * This is one of the problems of reporting a sockpuppet so early, with only one edit: no overlap. The IP edits might just be the editor not logging in.  Looking at all the common articles  I see overlap, but on different days and in a way that doesn't look like they are trying to game the system or avoid scrutiny.  The new account could be that he forgot his password and doesn't have email (I checked, you can't email the user).  In short, I think they are likely the same person but I don't see abuse.  I will leave open for another opinion.  Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;  Join WER 16:21, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

On 13 January 2013, Digifiend sent a warning to DharakJoo about making an incorrect redirect of the article Digimon Story Lost Evolution. On 24 January, DharakJoo posted a comment on Digifiend's Talk page telling him to apologize to a non-existent user. Digifiend replied with a stern warning. Then around three hours later, Leokidmon posted a nonsensical threatening message in retaliation to Digifiend's last post. In addition, both DharakJoo and the three sockpuppets listed display the same style of grammar on their edits on the articles Vaglass and List of Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters episodes. User has been warned numerous times about his poor grammar and blatantly incorrect information over the past year. Areaseven (talk) 15:31, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

 * So, I've looked at this, and I can't really see a violation - just lots of accounts, seemingly run by the same person, but with a pattern that suggests they're losing their password. Placing on hold for clerk/admin/CU comments - is this a violation? Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (Message me) 23:20, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Excuse me, but how does one forget his password and decide to sign in as a different user within a span of three hours? - Areaseven (talk) 08:15, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
 * If you never attached an email address to your account and you forget your password then it's entirely plausible one would immediately register another account. I have done this several times on other websites. To assume malice based only on that would seem to violate Hanlon's razor. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 12:46, 26 January 2013 (UTC)


 * It's quite obvious that DharakJoo and Dharakjoo1 are the same person based on name alone. However, is there any abuse of multiple accounts here? The case filer has only provided a single diff (which was provided twice, for some reason). As such, this request is . Please see Template:DiffsNeeded for more information about what we require to run checks. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 12:55, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Please check my evidence once again, as I have corrected the second link. - Areaseven (talk) 14:29, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
 * This still does not provide any evidence that there is abuse of multiple accounts. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 16:04, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Each of the accounts and IP in question have made similar poorly formatted, unsourced, generally incorrect, and entirely unconstructive edits to articles in similar topic areas. Examples are All this is amongst other similar edits all within the same topic areas, generally being articles on Overall, this is an extreme lack of competence as it appears that DharakJoo is not fluent enough in English to properly contribute to the English Wikipedia, and it is problematic for several editors who have to clean up after him constantly. He refuses to change, ignores any and all warnings left for him on his various accounts' talk pages, and will likely continue unless we stop him. I am aware that there have been attempts in the past to connect these accounts and it was refused, but I have provided clear evidence that shows a high level of crossover and other behavioral evidence that shows that DharakJoo is abusing multiple accounts and possibly editing while logged out (the IP has since been blocked for a 3 month period). — Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 09:02, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Samueljoo and Dharakjoo1 haven't edited in a month or longer; not clear to me if CU will be useful for these accounts. Can you be more specific as to what you believe a CU will accomplish here, beyond whatever we can conclude per WP:DUCK? —  Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 20:04, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I was under the impression that checkuser data goes back 3 months.— Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 05:10, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 * A sleeper check is the primary reason this check is justified since the user spans multiple articles with multiple users already. Furthermore, I don't agree that this is a duck case. Anyway ✅:

 * Socks blocked indefinitely, master for 1 week. If Dharak continues to either sock or fail to ever respond to others' concerns even after the block expires, it will become indefinite. I am leaving the two redlinked accounts alone since there is not yet any behavioral evidence to go on. Someguy1221 (talk) 08:51, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
