Suspected sockpuppets



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


 * Here, Hemunarine adds hindaily.com as a reference at List of highest-grossing Indian films
 * Two days before, here, brand new user asks me on my talk page, a propos of nothing, if hindaily.com is a suitable reference.
 * Sathya was clearly gaming the system, as is evident from their edit history, where we see eight minor edits, none of them useful (basically dummy edits) to get their autoconfirmed status up and running so they could manipulate the Kannada film figures.
 * I keep having problems at List of highest-grossing Indian films, with various editors trying to boost the gross figures of the Kannada-language film Raajakumara. Here, Shrev64 does it, attributing blastingnews.com, a blog, as the source.
 * User Hemunarine went through a great deal of trouble at List of highest-grossing Kannada films to effectively create a bullshit article. I eventually indeffed him for unambiguous vandalism after I was like, "yo man, stop with the crappy sources" on his talk page. So there's clearly something up here, since most of the disruption at the general List of highest-grossing Indian films has involved Kannada cinema, which is a smaller segment of the overall Indian film industry, making it a rather peculiar problem. (About 38 million people speak Kannada, compared to about 74 million Telugu, 61 million Tamil, and 422 million Hindi speakers.) I'm requesting a CU, please, because I'm curious if the users are definitely related, and also curious about what other accounts are open. My time has been limited lately, but if more info is needed, I can look a little deeper. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:36, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
