Suspected sockpuppets
I stumbled into this based on the edits of VeerlokWarriors, whose edits were being reverted a fair amount. Then I looked at the editing history at Kumkum Bhagya, an Indian TV series (based on Sense and Sensibility!!), and I saw so many mostly inexperienced editors with no user pages, all editing from the same mobile platform. With two of them there is also a username similarity: Riah101 and Radhey100. I also saw that there was a fair amount of intersection on other articles, although with this many editors, other than Kumkum Bhagya, the intersection is in different groups. I am requesting a check because there are so many, and, honestly, I have trouble believing that all of them are the same person, but a check will hopefully sort that out, as well as finding any others I haven't uncovered.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:41, 21 March 2023 (UTC) Bbb23 (talk) 16:41, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

 * I've had a look and CU doesn't seem to be very helpful here. Some accounts are likely, some are possible and some are unrelated to each other but there are a number of range blocks and possibly proxies being used. I think a behavioural investigation is the best option here. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 10:27, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
 * - Help! I will try to investigate the behavior more when I have the energy (not sure when that will be), but in the meantime, it would be great if a clerk (or anyone more knowledgeable about the subject area) could look at the behavior and comment., unless you think it would be misleading in some way, I would appreciate it if you could list those users who are likely to each other.

 * - I've blocked without tags the accounts in Groups 1 and 2 and the two confirmed accounts. Please create two new cases, one with the master Bansari Patel12 for the Groups 1/2 accounts, and one with AK19958 as the master for the two confirmed accounts. In the larger case, all accounts should be tagged as suspected, and in the small case tagged as confirmed. Bbb23 (talk) 15:02, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Done, see Sockpuppet investigations/AK19958 and Sockpuppet investigations/Bansari Patel12. Closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 11:34, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
