A simple duck test based on topics, edit summaries, and behaviors in general Khruner (talk) 12:02, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

 * My first reaction was to request more specific evidence, but I took a quick look myself. Looking at the interaction timeline, I'm seeing shared topic interests, but not any obvious socking from the content point of view.  On the other hand, the common use of "For better formatting" and "For further details" in the edit comments is certainly suspicious.  I'd endorse for CU.  -- RoySmith (talk) 14:35, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
 * This is a good example of when just a little digging gives you the information. I'm not totally convinced that they're the same. Having said that I'd probably be willing to block with CU result of possible (or higher), so endorsing for CU seems like a good approach - please do so.

 * Kangleingakpa is to  (and see overlaps at ) which would make this Sockpuppet investigations/Goutamkumar Oinam 2.
 * Moirang Shayon is also to this group, particularly when the very similar behavior is taken into account.
 * Here are the accounts that I was able to find:
 * - not blocked, but based on CU log
 * Both socks, and can you please handle moving this case to the correct title, and ensuring that all of the accounts are tagged? ST47 (talk) 16:28, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , Hmm I'm looking at WP:SPI/PROC, but none of the cases listed seem to fit this. It's almost "No case is currently active for the account that we wish to file the case as, but a prior case has been filed", but there is an active case.  Unclear how to proceed. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:47, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Since the two cases have interleaved edits, I don't think we should do a history merge. My suggestion would be to move this page to Sockpuppet investigations/Goutamkumar Oinam, close and archive it, and then copy/paste the contents of Sockpuppet investigations/Goutamkumar Oinam 2 (with appropriate edit summaries) to Sockpuppet investigations/Goutamkumar Oinam, finally closing and archiving the duplicate case. And you would use the template on both source pages to properly link to the new archive. ST47 (talk) 16:56, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
 * (I was never a clerk and I don't know anything about the training process, so perhaps Callanecc will have better guidance.) ST47 (talk) 16:56, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , OK, I've done all the tagging and blocked Goutamkumar Oinam. I'm going to hold off on the case merging until I've got a better plan for how to do it and/or hear from . -- RoySmith (talk) 17:47, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
 * So it looks to me like is the oldest account so this page and Sockpuppet investigations/Goutamkumar Oinam 2 need to be moved to Sockpuppet investigations/Goutamkumar Oinam. A proper history merge is the preferred option but as noted above it's not really an option in this instance due to the overlapping options. In this situation, we'd do what's effectively a copy and paste move/merge. So, the two reports (here and at Sockpuppet investigations/Goutamkumar Oinam 2) get copy and pasted onto Sockpuppet investigations/Goutamkumar Oinam (noting where they come from in the edit summary for attribution) and both left on the page and closed. While the one at Goutamkumar Oinam 2 was filed first, I'd probably put this one at the top since it's got the CU result. Then replace this page and Sockpuppet investigations/Goutamkumar Oinam 2 with either a redirect (what I normally do) or . Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:20, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Closing -- RoySmith (talk) 12:37, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Kangleingakpa has been spamming infoboxes of Roman/Greek gods with marginally related Manipuri gods  like Goutamkumar did repeatedly.
 * Kangleingakpa edited Baruni Hill, which only the sockmaster has ever edited.
 * Kangleingakpa removed cleanup tags on Wangbren which only the sockmaster has ever edited. Goutamkumar repeatedly removed cleanup tags on his own articles.
 * Kangleingakpa and Moirang Shayon overlap on Lainingthou Nongpok Ningthou.
 * Moirang Shayon overlaps with Goutamkumar on Kanglei mythology, an article with next to no other editors except the sockmaster.
 * Moirang Shayon uses WikiMapia as a source, like the sockmaster repeatedly did

Noting that the last known sock was  in March.

Same interest in Manipur related articles and introducing severe POV in there almost as soon as the account was created. Gotitbro (talk) 10:49, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Haoreima is adding equivalencies between Manipuri deities and those in various ancient Mediterranean cultures, just as Kangleingakpa did. Compare Haoreima's edit to Neith with Kangleingakpa's edit to the same article, and Haoreima's edit to Minerva to Kangleingakpa's edit to the article on Minerva's Etruscan equivalent Menrva. They are also the only two accounts to have made substantial edits to Lainingthou Koubru. A. Parrot (talk) 21:14, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

I was just coming here to see if this account had ever been investigated as being related and saw there was this open case. Seems likely to me. -DJSasso (talk) 14:33, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
