Suspected sockpuppets
Tag teaming Draft:Stiven Mikhail, suspect paid editing group, somewhat stale. Unsure whether to request CU or not, it might be seen as a fishing expedition. Odd denial of paid editing by Lalmohanlal but they have also declared on their talk page. Edits by Lalmohanlal extend to Commons (with a block history) 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 13:13, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

 * It is worth noting that Lalmohanlal has achieved a further block on Commons for "Uploading unfree files after warnings", a persistent behaviour. SPI folk might look at whether the threshold of a global lock has been crossed. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 14:44, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I am now requesting CU. My reasons are a commonality of user protestations between Lalmohanlal and a recent proven sock of Rubiesar,, blockecd this evening by . I should state that the apparent connection feels tenuous, but that the writing style of the talkpage messages caused my antennae to twitch. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 21:26, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I have added Rubiesar formally in order to link the two SPIs. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 21:43, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

 * is ✅ to . is stale, but the behaviour is obvious enough. I'm blocking those three.  is technically ❌ - I'm confident it's a different person. It's possible that Ildivino1010 has engaged the services of some UPE spammers to help promote the article, or that they are from a different group of UPE spammers, but it's possible that Ildivino1010 is acting in good faith and that someone else is responsible for the UPE spammers, so I'm leaving that account unblocked - with so few edits, it's not causing much in the way of disruption, and we can revisit that decision if they start doing so. All of these accounts are ❌ to the / case. Closing.   Girth Summit  (blether)  08:34, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

I know that Ildivino1010 was previously checked and dismissed, but as the other socks editing Draft:Stiven Mikhail are all bunched together here, I'll add this new one also. Gairathimonikagairathi is a SPA, only interested in the Mikhail draft, which seems ducky given its edit history. DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:37, 13 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi @Ponyo, I was aiming to connect Gairathimonikagairathi directly to Ildivino1010. Both are recently active, and both are editing this Stiven Mikhail draft. From the archive it looks like a CU was run in Aug-23, but Gairathimonikagairathi was only registered a month later, so wouldn't have been included in that. Thanks, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:50, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

 * is ✅ to and is an obvious UPE spammer; I've blocked both accounts.  is open about who they are and, while there is a conflict of interest involved, there is no technical or behavioural evidence to contradict their story. They are completely ❌ technically to the spam groups hovering around this article trying to collect a pay cheque.--  Ponyo bons mots 15:58, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
