Sock created article space version of main user, Donyi Taga (Networker) and Donyi Taga. Both editing article, copy-paste from user-space. Main attempting to list himself as an Administrator. Arnstar awards pre-date user, so also falsifications and hoaxing within description (discovered during article AfD). &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(talk)  16:17, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Well, the name on the first sock makes them a pretty clear WP:DUCK to me. Also, on their user page, Donyi Taga (Arunachal Pradesh) has a list of articles contributed to by the first Donyi Taga. WikiCreator1995 created Lists of firsts in Arunachal Pradesh, and Donyi Taga (Arunachal Pradesh) created List of firsts in Arunachal Pradesh (singular list). The two accounts added the exact same categories to their user pages. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 01:54, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

Strong similarities in user page, area of interest and edit summary style ("edit an article") to master and self-identified sock Iynod Agat. &mdash;&thinsp; H HHIPPO  07:55, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

First mainspace edit to Miss Adi, created by blocked sock User:NEIndia, to add an image he re-uploaded to the Commons that had previously been deleted as a copyright violation after having been uploaded by NEIndia. He told me via IRC that he's not Donyi Taga but his brother, using Donyi Taga's laptop, so CheckUser will show them to be identical. Huon (talk) 03:47, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Creation of a Draft, of which the Article was a deleted G5 of Donyi Taga. When asked in IRC if they recognized the name, they said that DT was their original account but it was blocked so they started a new one. Primefac (talk) 13:25, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Just noting that the IP for the alleged master is . I've not done any further analysis at this point. -Philippe  (talk) 05:12, 11 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Just had a look at Special:Undelete/User:Donyi Taga. This is an obvious sockpuppet, or one extraordinary coincidence. Blocked. MER-C 11:57, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
