Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Jonardondishant/Archive

Suspected sockpuppets
Context: is an WP:SPA focused narrowly on Ahom kingdom and Ahom people related articles. Their focus is inserting a certain POV in these articles. Unfortunately, they have serious WP:CIR issues and they are in the habit of uploading word-for-word text (warned several times) from sources and uploading copyrighted images, here and in commons.
 * Jonardondishant was finally blocked after repeated copyright violation on 8 October 2022.
 * IP address starts editing 13 Oct, after the block, with the same interests as Jonardondishant, inserting uncited and copied text multiple times..
 * IP address then removes the image in the infobox in Ahom people just as Jonardondishant did earlier.
 * I reported the IP address as a possible WP:BE on 13 Oct. Soon after, two accounts were created, one of which made edits in support of Jonardondishant. Here is one where the IP editor reinserts an image that was removed , an image that was uploaded by Jonardondishant [:File:Traders_with_camels.png].
 * User Vishwanath2008 if not a sock then a meat puppet.
 * Removing the image from Ahom people infobox following Jonardondishant and IP address. The edit summary is near identical with that of the IP address.
 * Inserting a picture of camels that was earlier uploaded by Kahaorkahi.
 * General uploading of images from manuscripts that has started in the last few days that Jonardondishant's images have been marked for deletion The uploads follow the same pattern of minimal licensing or source information (e.g.) and tagged as "own work" and shoehorning them into Ahom kingdom page without consideration of MOS:PERTINENCE.  They often upload PNG when JPEG is appropriate and often have double dots in the filenames File:Gayan_Bayan_of_Auniati_Satra,_Majuli..png (Vishwanath2008) File:Jogeshwar_Singha_coin..png (Jonardondishant)

CU is requested because there exists additional accounts that the sock master and their possible socks had created. It will also hopefully clarify whether some of the suspected socks are actually meats or if there exists additional sleeper accounts.

Tagging for visibility:, , ,.

 * Starting with the obvious stuff, JonardondishantKonwar1769204, Jonardondishantkonwar883887, and Jonardondishantkonwar were created by Jonardondishant (see the account creation logs), but those accounts all have zero edits, so meh.  Likewise, Kahaorkahi created Avidransomthinker!, who also has zero edits, so more meh. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:38, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Looking at more interesting CU data, Vishwanath2008 is to Jonardondishant and Kahaorkahi is  to Jonardondishant. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:46, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

The user account Alakazammm was created after the previous sock, Eliminatethejuice, was blocked. This looks like WP:DUCK to me, but I could provide additional details, if needed. Chaipau (talk) 18:23, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * The first act of this account was inserting images previously uploaded by Eliminatethejuice (e.g. File:Cannon_captured_from_Mughals_after_the_battle_of_Itakhuli.jpg) This edit also shows Alakazammm placing about 10 images in the Ahom kingdom, some of them into galleries, and others shoe-horned into various parts of the article without regards to context or relevance, a behavior pointed out earlier in the report here.
 * The account shows a strong preference to editing Ahom related articles Special:Contributions/Alakazammm. The edit patterns are similar to the previous socks.
 * Here, an image has been shoe-horned into a numbered list
 * Inserting irrelevant delails
 * Unable to insert citations properly and then getting into edit-warring mode (WP:PRECOCIOUS)  Please also note the grammatical errors the user inserted throughout this edit, a hallmark of this editor
 * Text placed that are either identical with the source, or with close paraphrasing compared to the original p67.  This habit got the sock master into trouble, and the habit of disregarding Wikipedia norms and policies.
