GracyM is the only currently active one, the rest are already blocked, and sort of stale. They were blocked for socking. All three accounts edited in very narrow range of articles, including the article Harshad Chopda. I am not sure whats up with EarlySalary.

There is one more account that I am suspicious of being sock of this farm too, but there is not much evidence. Maybe they are meats. — usernamekiran (talk)  07:15, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

 * I suspect previously edited as . Note the intersections of edits, and there were some behavioral similarities, like the use of "+Sources" and "(+)" (or similar phrasing) in their edit summaries. Meenalxoxo previously edited as . The Meenal Kaushal account was indeffed for disruptive edits. I believe they'd originally made multiple edits at Harshad Chopda as an IPv6 editor, correcting the spelling of the subject's name from Chopra to Chopda over and over. (At the time it's possible the article was spelled "Chopra".) Then (it was suspected) the IP user created an account, kept up the changes, and got indeffed. Funky thing here is, they appear to have been correct about the spelling, so it's kind of an unfortunate mess. I don't know how to resolve this, but some of GracyM's edits, particularly the refactoring of reference titles to make them sound like they're puffing up various actors, etc. is concerning, and their recent blanking of their talk page without acknowledgment of the issues is thought provoking as well.

 * Two days after GracyM was blocked, another prolific account, sprang up, with at least 19 articles of intersection with that sock, including at a draft article created by GracyM. I can probs block them on quack grounds, but this sock operator created at least three accounts (Mandeep singh Samana [Aug 29], VibingRight [Sep 1], Mehakdeep007 [Sep 2]) within a few days of each other, it's possible they've done the same thing again.

 * MiaSays was indeffed on 18 January 2019 by on the basis that she was a sock of Dimpletisha.
 * NonaBerrry was also indeffed on 18 January, with their account being flagged as CheckUser confirmed. I'm not clear on who did the CU on that.
 * SheMoveItLike was created the following day on 19 January 2019.
 * SheMoveItLike has made about 140 edits, but has an insanely substantial intersection with MiaSays.
 * Should probably also look at DebbieSays, for the name structure similarity to MiaSays. Also for intersection at MTV Splitsvilla an area of interest to this sockfarm.
 * CorrectHai was one I blocked as a suspected sock, mostly for problematic editing at Bepannah, one of their favorite articles. Both MiaSays and SheMoveLike have edited there as well. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:52, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

 * There is a significant area of intersection between Udu22 and MiaSays, one of the more recent Dimpletisha socks.
 * Similar with KiaraHooda.
 * The user tends to edit broadly in Indian entertainment articles, Indian actors, etc. But one thing of note is that the Dimpletisha socks tend to edit in MTV Roadies articles and other Indian reality shows like Fear Factor.
 * Here is a fairly under-edited article where Udu222 appears right after MiaSays
 * KiaraHooda was one of the last known Dimpletisha socks. That account was blocked on 9 February 2019. Udu222 was created seven days later Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:34, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Significant intersections with MiaSays, one of the more prolific of the known socks.
 * Nora has also edited various MTV articles including MTV Roadies, which I noted during the last sock investigation.
 * Here, she's a "new editor" 11 edits in, and she's soliciting someone's help to add a table at an article. Table-building isn't an intuitive new way to contribute. Suggests knowledge of Wiki editing.
 * Here is an interesting twist: She faked DannyS712's signature when asking another editor to make changes for her.
 * One thing, I am hurt that you are making these untrue alleagations against me. I want to clarify, when you said I faked a user's signiture, no its not that I wanted to copy my signiture from they discussion I had and then copy it to the other. The other one is WHO IS MIASAYS.

Mallika800 seems like a likely sock candidate based on significant intersections with Udu222 and KiaraHooda. There are significant intersections with several of the last socks. She tends to be into Indian TV shows and did a lot of editing at Harshad Chopda. In fact much of the recent editing at the Chopda article is from socks of Dimpletisha, including (I believe) some IPv6 edits.

In these edits Mallika800 restores full character names in the lead, which is something she did here as KiaraHooda.

One thing for the archive: The last time I filed an SPI on this user I incorrectly implicated NoraFatehi231 as a sock. A CU was run and NoraFatehi231 was not found to be related to this sock or any other known socks, yet they were recently found to be a sock of KaranSharma0445. A similar confusion happened at the KaranSharma0445 SPI, where thought the Dimpletisha sock was the same as the KaranSharma0445 sock. So we appear to have two sock operators who tend to overlap with each other and sometimes edit in conflict with one another. KaranSharma0445 even accused ArjunSharma98 of being a Dimpletisha sock. So maybe going forward if we think we see one of these socks, we might also want to check for the other, since it might be difficult to differentiate.

 * - There is a definite overlap with the other sock groups, it is getting a bit hard to differentiate on the basis of behaviour. Either way, sufficient evidence provided to run a check against Dimpletisha socks. qedk (t 桜 c) 21:34, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Checkuser comment: What exactly is the problem with the edits being made by these editors?  The full name of characters is used in most Hindi Wikipedia articles, and it would be expected if someone is multilingual, they'd likely include the greater amount of information. I'd like to see some evidence that the editing is harmful in some way. Risker (talk) 02:57, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I think the concern is block evasion, even if edits now aren't particularly malicious, they have a history of not collaborating. --qedk (t 桜 c) 05:54, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Block evasion is a policy violation. However, in the spirit of transparency, Dimpletisha appears to have originally been blocked for what estimated to be advertising. Subsequent socks like MiaSays took to articles like Harshad Chopda to fluff them up. Like here at Vicky Kaushal where she adds non-notable awards. Or like here where she added non-notable awards. Or here where she added questionable awards like Telebration and Asian Viewers Television Awards, the latter of which was a 3 year old web-based award at the time and for which there was no existing Wikipedia article to demonstrate notability as is typically expected (WP:FILMCRITICLIST). Coincidentally after this content was removed a few times, an anonymous Punjabi editor solicited the creation of the article by, who obediently obliged the request. This anonymous Punjabi editor also had several areas of interest similar to Dimpletisha's. So to me this stinks of undisclosed paid advertising, where someone returns over and over to force their agenda content into articles that they are supposed to maintain. Then there's just mundane irritating crap, like the poor sourcing found here (really, IMDb?) or using vague ephemeral language like "currently" here and not knowing how to capital letters here and this silent reversion which reinstated Star Parivaar awards, which by consensus we should not include as they are self-aggrandising in-house awards. Every time this block evading user shows up, editors have to treat them as a brand new user, assume good faith and teach them the same basic crap over and over again. It's a massive time suck. So TL;DR: Advertising, block evasion, likely undisclosed paid editing, and wasting the community's time. If she wants to take the Standard Offer and go legit, hey, maybe I'd even support that. Not everything she does is evil, but the sneakiness and probably-paid aspect is nonsense. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:41, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi YangCho might be a sock puppet of this user Mallika800 which was blocked a month ago and its strange as she has done the same edits as her as she has done it on Hina Khan as you can see at the top and through out to the filmography section. She and another user User:ArjunSharma98 has also done the same for Parth Samthaan look at this and again where Mallika did it.

The two above appear to be the same person. The "OK" edit summary is rather unique. and. Like socks before it they have edited articles such as Priyanka Purohit. Just like User:MiaSays, User:GracyM, User:Meenalxoxo did, confirmed socks. I do not think it is a coincidence both accounts landed on this article.

 * The "Ok"s are weird. I do note that they only have two article intersections. I feel like Dimpletisha might have had slightly more competence than to format an infobox image like this.

AhilyaRai has already been implicated as a Dimpletisha sock, I'm only including them here in case it makes it easier for a CU to click their buttons.
 * Significant overlap between Dramionex and AhilyaRai, one of the last Dimpletisha socks to be IDed.
 * Dramionex also seems interested in the maintenance of the Harshad Chopda article, which was a frequent target as detailed in the archive.
 * Dramionex seems to prefer this image of Chopda vs. the one that was there. One of the other socks also seems to like this image.
 * Dramionex also edits at Surbhi Chandna, another frequent target. Here we see that one of the prior socks likes to include characters' full names, Annika Trivedi, in this instance. Notice also the deletion of the Sanjivani information. Here we see the same thing from Dramionex. Trivedi is restore and Sanjivani content is deleted. Quack. Looks like Dimples also likes to needlessly centre filmographies and award tables. Interesting tick.

I think it's fairly ducky, but since Dimples has used multiple accounts at one time, I think it's worth a look for undiscovered accounts, please. Since older socks are stale, maybe comparing against AhilyaRai is a way to go? Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:34, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Harshad Chopda is a frequent target for promotional content, i.e. non-notable awards and other fluff. Based on some off-wiki info, I suspect there is a fan element at work here, but it's also possible it's paid editing. Since this editor has abused multiple accounts, hoping we can check for sleepers. And even if we can't link to the actual master, if we could see whether Rivusa is evading the Dramionex block, that would be helpful. It looks like AhilyaRai might be stale. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:34, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
 * was blocked as a suspected sock. Here we see them inserting fluffy content about the Indian Television Academy Award for "GR8! Performer Of The Year" sourced to Pinkvilla. We also see the addition of numerous Chopda quotes talking about himself. "Sahir is a very complex one. He has a lot of shades. He is more than what meets the eye." There's other stuff too--pointing out the Lions Gold Award and noting that he was on Eastern Eye's 50 Sexiest Asian Men list. They also point out that he won a Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival Award, erroneously linking to Dada Saheb Phalke Award, which is TOTALLY unrelated. (See WP:DADASAHEB.) This "mistake" seems like an attempt to legitimise a non-notable award mill accolade.
 * In these edits we see Rivusa make the same changes, reinstating the same flimsy awards: Lions Gold, Eastern Eye, Dada Saheb Film Festival Award, etc. Same quotes are there, and so forth. If we look at the last edit AhilyaRai made and the most recent edit that Rivusa made, the difference between the two pages is minimal, yet all the prior suspects had been reverted in between. So Rivusa basically took AhilyaRai's content and cleaned it up a bit. This is very ducky.
 * Here we see Gbhgcvvb (an obvious throw-away account) injecting content about some Times of India clickbait list of desirable men and Gold Awards, sourced to Pinkvilla, and here they add the "GR8! Performer Of The Year".

The user repeatedly do desruptive edits on 3 pages: Harshad Chopda and Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai as fan and on Anupamaa by constantly removing necessary stuff like protagonist's struggle with Ovarian cancer. They even update plot and cast section on the basis of promos and precaps stating that official promo means plot arrived. Which is totally illogical. As many were misleading too and stories related to them never arrived. Similarly I noticed an IP user doing same thing in cast section yesterday on the basis of precap. Even I tried to warn the user for being suspected as sockpuppet but they started accusing me of doing those things which they themselves do. Not only this I tried to resolve the issue. But they aren't interested. As they were warned repeatedly by different editors. But they engaged in fight with them also and accused them of doing those things which they themselves do. They're showing a hostile behaviour towards every other editor.Pri2000 (talk) 04:18, 14 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Admins, sefore taking action on this case, please see Sockpuppet investigations/Dimpletisha where I reported Vucien several weeks ago. All prior socks are stale, so it's behavior but I think it's a slam dunk case.  Ravensfire  (talk) 02:14, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

 * This case was originally filed under, who does not exist – based on the diffs, it seems that was the intended master, so I've moved there. --Blablubbs (talk) 20:28, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Vucien has been blocked as a sock of Dimpletisha. Merging this case there. Spicy (talk) 02:54, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
 * 117.234.208.154 made one edit two days ago - not really actionable IMO, especially considering that it's an Indian mobile ISP. I assume the inclusion of 127.0.0.1 was a mistake. Since the named account is already blocked, closing without further action. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 03:02, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

The last sock was blocked on Nov 14, this new account was created a couple of weeks later. In 37 edits, they've managed an impressive overlap with Vucien. Both accounts were heavily focused on Udaariyaan with lots of reverts  and similar edit summaries "Revert overdetailed plot"  -,. Both have used Misogyny in edit summaries vs,. They were active on Special:Contributions/122.173.28.0/22 after the block, but stopped on Nov 25, shortly before this account was created.  Ravensfire  (talk) 19:37, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
