All of these accounts have following similarity:
 * 1) Usernames are based on popular fictional characters such as Ghanada, Byomkesh Bakshi,
 * 2) All of these accounts have tendency to add "alma meter" categories in articles (sometimes they don't notice the articles have no information on subjects' education:
 * User:GhanaDa: example01, Example2
 * User:Byomkesh Bakshi Example1, Example 2. A couple of months ago I tried talking to him, got no reply.
 * User:Patoldanga'r Tenida: Example1, Example 2
 * 1) All of these users' user page are similar and have User:Wordbuilder/UserBox/Wikipedia fake passport.

Note: a) most probably there were more accounts, I can't remember those usernames at this moment. Is it possible to check? b) I feel, they do not know about WP:SP rules. Tito ☸ Dutta 12:19, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

 * According to the editor interaction tools, there are over 300 articles amongst the three accounts where they have made contributions, they typically make edits around the same timeframe, and they don't seem to have any overlap. I'm requesting a checkuser to provide further technical evidence. The accounts have a couple thousand edits each, so I'd like to be sure before any action is taken.
