This suspected sock created user page with the header format similar to the master: XX Xxxxxx's XI: Special:Diff/893404989 (DG Bradman's XI). See master's user page: Special:Diff/878346783 (CH Gayle's XI), Special:Diff/878353946 (CL Hooper's XI); also with the same bullet list formatting - master, suspected sock.

At Hindi Wikipedia this account edited some pages that overlap another sock (श्रीयुत नवनीत): hi:महावीर प्रसाद द्विवेदी - 1, 2; hi:मैथिलीशरण गुप्त - 1, 2. CU requested to confirm. -★- PlyrStar93  → Message me. ← 06:31, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
