All three show an inordinate interest in Kingdom of Jeypore, a not well trafficed article. Quixoticbird, in particular, shares an interest in other articles with Indopaedia, adding the same "Eastern Ganga Dynasty" information in Kalinga (historical region), Interestingly, Hiranyhaahu uploaded an image on December 9th on commons and Quixoticbird added it on enwiki a couple of minutes later. The likely explanation is that the same user had their commons account and enwiki accounts open at the same time on different browser tabs. A checkuser would be particularly useful here because there may be sleepers. RegentsPark (comment) 02:06, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

I'm not finding a clear link to Indopaedia through CU, but behavioral evidence suggests it - leaving that to someone else.. However Quixoticbird and Hiranyabaahu are the same, as are Hiranyabaahu and CenturyXvi. Quixoticbird matches with Arete707 also. So those 4 are ✅ -- Doug Weller talk 15:42, 18 December 2020 (UTC) Dersvey8 is ✅ to the Hiranyabaahu and CenturyXvi (and thus to the rest). -- Doug Weller talk 18:13, 21 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Bumping to "checked". I'm not especially convinced that Indopaedia is related; their edit summaries look fairly different from the rest of the group. Ping since I see you CU-blocked Indopaedia a few months ago, just in case you have anything else to add here. I plan to move this to Hiranyabaahu (oldest confirmed sock) but I'll wait for Zzuuzz's input first. GeneralNotability (talk) 02:16, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
 * In my opinion these accounts are (technically, geographically) unrelated to Indopaedia. -- zzuuzz (talk) 08:56, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks all. Moved to oldest and tagged confirmed socks, closing. GeneralNotability (talk) 13:48, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
