Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

''The most common things are interests in Lakhisarai and Chauhan related things and The common name Chauhan. Although Atharva Pratap Singh Chauhan doesn't has much similarity in edits but what makes me doubtful is his user page which mentions ramnagar. And User:Its Guddu Chauhan looks interested in Ramgarh Chowk which again is from Lakhisarai. There must be more. But for that I need some time and some help. All the evidence given above can be confirmed looking at the contributions of the users. But If there is still need for revision links, please let me know. I shall give it.

Also noticed one thing, every reported user except the suspected master User:Dibyanand02 has Visual edit tag with Mobile edit and Mobile web edit tag. And except one (maybe two) everyone else are on Commons.  Shaan Sengupta Talk 12:37, 6 October 2023 (UTC)2''

It seems unlikely that Dibyanand02 is the same as Lal chowk Ramchandrapur. Dibyanand02 created Nand Nama calling the place "Nand Nama" and left the draft with a nice infobox, but Lal chowk Ramchandrapur's four edits removed the infobox and changed the name in the article to "Ramchandrapur". -- Toddy1 (talk) 16:15, 2 October 2023 (UTC)


 * @KrakatoaKatie Looks like you forgot to add the block notice at their talk page. I have done it for you. Although I have left is unsigned because I am not authorised to block someone. If you want to sign it by your name, please do so. That would be appropriate. Also I have made Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Its Guddu Chauhan as per your advice of renaming this case. I am not renaming it because a clerk doing that would be appropriate. If I made a mistake by doing what I should not have done please revert me or tell me I shall self-revert what I can.

 * I did not leave a block notice intentionally. I rarely do so. He knows what he did, and I choose not to engage. He will get unblock instructions when he tries to log in again, and that's sufficient. Don't revert it now, just leave it. Also, when the clerks rename the case, they will put the block notices on the user pages of the master and sock (which is what I meant by tagging, they know that) and that would have created the category automagically. It's fine, no harm done, you can leave what you did. If you're interested in clerking, check the clerks' noticeboard for instructions on how to apply. Thanks again for your work. :-) Katietalk 11:26, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @KrakatoaKatie I for sure want to do that. But I am still a newbie just 5-6 months and 3700+ edits since I joined. I personally think I need to learn so much more before I request for some roles. That's my bar for me. Glad to know that I haven't done any harm.  Shaan Sengupta Talk 11:40, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @MarioGom what about User:Lal chowk Ramchandrapur Lakhisarai and User:Lal chowk Ramchandrapur. Both have made nearly same edit to Lakhisarai.  Shaan Sengupta Talk 23:53, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Both are stale. That means they have been inactive for quite some time (no edits in +3 months), and we generally do not action them. MarioGom (talk) 05:54, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * First, thanks to the filer for a detailed report, though the technical data isn't useful for much of it.
 * and are ✅ to each other. These two are blocked.
 * The suspected master and the remaining listed accounts are . Sleepers are possible but it's a big range and the devices are similar with only small differences in user agents and/or apps. Let's move this to Its Guddu Chauhan, which I think is the oldest account (though my track record of naming the oldest account is suspect), then please tag the blocked accounts accordingly. Thanks. :-) Katietalk 18:18, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Moved, closing. MarioGom (talk) 20:42, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
