All these single edit accounts have appeared since commenced a request to move the article on Adam's Peak. They are all stating the same issue. It may be a case of Meatpuppetry or they might be legitimate editors, but would appreciate if someone could investigate and see. Dan arndt (talk) 09:24, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

 * The four accounts are ❌.
 * The following accounts are ✅ to each other:
 * The two accounts are obviously the same person but generally act like alternative accounts that have never been declared. If there were no article overlap, I would just give the person the choice as to which account to keep (there's no apparent legitimate reason to have both), but although there's been no evasion of scrutiny since 2015 and earlier, there was earlier collaboration. Plus, one account gave the other account a barnstar, which is highly deceptive. Therefore, I'm blocking and tagging both accounts indefinitely (Rajithcalwis is the older account). We will see if they have an explanation and an understanding of the policy violation.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:17, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
