Brand new account promoting Swaran Ghar just like the others. Likely just more meat/UPE but given that DMySon has since been blocked for socking/UPE, I thought this might be worth flagging in case new red flags. Star  Mississippi  14:40, 13 June 2022 (UTC)


 * @Star Mississippi what is the connection to DMySon? -- RoySmith (talk) 15:27, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
 * it was DMySon who originally flagged it and I wondered if it was battling UPE farms, but turns out they were just tagging for G4, not any other issue. I misread log. Star   Mississippi  15:39, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

 * AllAboutTelevision is ✅ to Insaanhuok from the archive, but that's about it. I'll leave it to a clerk to figure out where to go from there. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:32, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Insaanhuok and AllAboutTelevision have been indeffed by NinjaRobotPirate. Splitting this into a new case under Insaanhuok, not tagging as the blocking CU didn't do so. Closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 10:11, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Username parallel to and significant overlap with. Imagine there are also sleepers beyond the IPs we haven't bothered blocking at Draft:Swaran Ghar. Star  Mississippi  01:49, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

 * ✅ from ; given editing interests, blocking and tagging as confirmed. I don't see any other similar accounts on the main range they're using. Will sprinkle G5 dust. Closing.  Girth Summit  (blether)  13:31, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Recreated Canning Er Minu, which was originally created by prior sock ItsAllAboutLuck. Some overlap in articles, with this series nearly identical to  from the prior sock. To be fair, that's pretty common formatting to see on Indian television articles. Recreating the article got me looking a bit more. There's a decent number of articles with small levels of intersection.  Ravensfire  (talk) 04:47, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Becomes fairly obvious when comparing deleted edits of this sock and previous ones. DatGuyTalkContribs 15:12, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Post-archive note: for the record, this is ✅. Mz7 (talk) 09:04, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

Jha09 is already DE blocked, but a closer look at their contributions (see Draft talk:Swaran Ghar) especially this overlap with one of the prior socks and the disruptive naming/moving of Swaran Ghar article made the red flags go off. Sleeper check please and to CU block, if needed. Star  Mississippi  00:21, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

 * from a technical standpoint. I suspect the article overlap is the result of shared interests rather than sockpuppetry. For instance, Jha09's edit summary usage displays idiosyncrasies that recent Insaanhuok socks have not displayed. Closing without action. Mz7 (talk) 09:07, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello SPI people. Could this account please be added to the report? Their username follows a pattern of other socks and over half of their articles (about relatively obscure drama shows on cable TV) are on the same articles as the sock.

 * From a technical standpoint, Its.com85 is to be Insaanhouk or any of the other accounts in this case that we've got data for. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:51, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Behavioural evidence is not compelling in light of the CU result. Closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 18:14, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Disruptive moving, recreation of Swaran Ghar (Indian TV series) to evade SALT. For sleepers please. CC  Star   Mississippi  15:02, 27 February 2023 (UTC)


 * thanks to @Liz's redirect clean up, I recalled we also had Draft:Swaran Ghar (TV series) if helpful to see the SALT evasion happening. Star   Mississippi  00:38, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I have added (already blocked by  for problematic editing last November) as it was some of their drafts that the new editor was mainspacing today. Disclosure, I IAR draftified two because we don't need seven days at AfD if these are G5.  Star   Mississippi  01:00, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Star Mississippi, Kainaaz1970 was just blocked as part of this SPI case, Sockpuppet investigations/Kajal1985 srivastav and Jha09 has their own page, Sockpuppet investigations/Jha09. What a tangled web they weave! Liz Read! Talk! 19:57, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Ugh. Thanks @Liz. What a mess indeed. @Callanecc let me know if this is helpful. Poor @Spicy I make so many reporting name messes they have to clean up. Star   Mississippi  20:49, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Kainaaz1970 is to Insaanhuok. Jha09 is . Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:09, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * This is hardly a mess, :) I'm just going to close this as everything has been handled at the other SPI. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 22:52, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

This appears technically ❌. Given the UPE activity, there's likely a contract out there somewhere which is why we have different sock groups and unrelated individuals clustering around the same draft.-- Ponyo bons mots 21:45, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Closing. I don't think there's enough evidence to conclude that this is UPE WP:MEAT. While there may have been socking and UPE around this subject in the past, it's also a popular TV show from a major network. I don't find it unlikely that someone without a COI might try to write about it. Spicy (talk) 12:48, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
