 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

Accounts are SPAs on Harpreet Singh (cricketer). They were created less than 2 hours apart on February 17. Within 11 minutes of suspected master's last edit, the suspected sock took over. Socks tend to come in pairs, I guess. Both tend to label edits as "minor," too.

Diffs of edits:


 * Happi913:
 * "International player"
 * "CEO"
 * Adding IPCA link, Punjab
 * Dubious BLP edit
 * IPCACRICKETBOARD (Note: same name as the association Happi913 linked):
 * Adding Punjab
 * Writing about salary

Both use similar broken English, with excessive capitalization. It appears that they are both trying to puff up the article (for example, by adding his record), although I have no idea how adding the alleged death plays into this. GABHello! 22:09, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
