WP:DUCK. Vinmunesh edits almost only exclusively articles in which Jschauhan (which is blocked) was involved. See. The editing errors are quite similar with unreliable sources and citations that do not verify facts. As Jschauhan is blocked this is an attempt to use multiple accounts for block avoidance.

 * Appears technically, but my editorial perspective is that this is block evasion. WilliamH (talk) 21:25, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Per WP:DUCK I've blocked and tagged the sock. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 00:47, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

The sock claims he is master on his user page. I am not sure if i should report this here or not. The user is not using two accounts at a time. But the master was blocked for quite serious reasons of copyrights violation. I haven't gone through his new contributions much. There aren't any copyvios i assume but surely many non-notable articles have been created. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 10:43, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I'm tempted to say that we should just keep an eye on his contributions for a while, and if nothing comes up, leave it be. WP:CLEANSTART exists, and he's at the very least documented that he's got an old account.  S ven M anguard   Wha?  05:08, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Cleanstart applies only to accounts without current sanctions or blocks, which is incorrect in this case. OhanaUnitedTalk page 16:46, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It may be a klutzy attempt at Cleanstart. I will leave a note for the blocking admin to review this case for consideration.
 * He's gone for the next week....


 * Note: User:Amalthea has blocked him with an expiry time of indefinite for "Continued copyright violations, attempts to discuss on his talk page were ignored.". I suppose the case can now close. But do we tag them as socks or leave them considering it a fresh start? §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 19:03, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

This is more being opened to update the prior SPI and to check to see if there are any accounts that haven't already been found and tagged. From what I can surmise, Jschauhan was blocked for copyright issues but also had issues with sourcing and BLP claims.

At some point he started editing again and it looks like one of his biggest tells is that he's trying to popularize the term "Brijwood", which he came up with. The article was deleted at AfD and I note that the original article has an extremely large slew of socks. Some of these are stale, but others (Hema2016, Jschauhan2016, Jsc2016, Cuty2016) are fairly recent.

As I'm mostly unfamiliar with their other edits, I'm going to ping to this since he's one of the admins that has repeatedly deleted Brijwood and might be able to give more evidence. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  07:45, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

the account is a duck  but is not blocked. Can an administrator fix that please? Ivanvector 🍁  (talk) 22:45, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Created Avnish Rahi, a horribly promotional article which was previously created by confirmed sock Jsc16. While I don't know how identical it is to the previously deleted version, it was created in one single edit (presumably copypasted from a local file), and it also includes an image uploaded by Jsc16. bonadea contributions talk 07:31, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

Recreation of Avnish Rahi as Avnish Rahi (song writer) which was previously created by confirmed socks Jsc16 and Jenicsc. Sockpuppet always recreate articles using different titles to game the system. GSS (talk) 15:33, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Okay, two groups, then we have to tie the groups to each other.


 * These accounts are ✅ to each other:


 * These accounts are ✅ to each other:


 * It is the two groups are linked; . Katietalk 03:38, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I've blocked all the registered accounts. I was ready to block Siajch and Siaj2016 behaviorally before the CU results so I'm happy to link the two groups behaviorally. I've blocked the first group as proven and the second group as confirmed., there are a couple of unregistered accounts above, not sure what to do with those so I've just left them alone.

Paras7674 created Jsc16's user page with "JS Chauhan is a actor and anchor." before Jsc16's block who is a confirmed sock of Jschauhan and then s/he recreated Yukti kapoor using "k" as lowecase which earlier created by LakshMila, Yukti kappoor and Sidluk who are possibly be related to this group or definitely to each other for repeatedly creating Yukti Kapoor.

Am a little bit confuse here because the first edit of Paras7674 as I can see was a request to recreate Mohit Baghel at Vanjagenije talk page. Mohit Baghel was the subject of another socking group Sockpuppet investigations/Mandalesshwar Singh and Paras7674 repeated the same thing as user:Neha Gurjar (a confirmed sockpuppet of Mandalesshwar Singh) who also requested to recreate Mohit Baghel at NeemNarduni2 talk page and the use of comma after Hello is very common in both users and if we look at an edited version of their message the use of "Enter" (to give line break) is exactly the same (see this and this).

To me, it sounds like a group of undisclosed paid editors who mostly create articles about non-notable actors. GSS (talk) 11:42, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Of the four listed puppets, only Yukti kappoor is not .--Bbb23 (talk) 16:45, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Of the listed accounts I'm convinced that Paras is linked to the master behaviorally while the other three are linked to each other behaviorally. I'm blocking as such. closing. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  03:48, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Recreation of BRIJWOOD (currently salted as Brijwood) and now with "" Jais Chauhan ;) Chrissymad  ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  17:43, 24 February 2017 (UTC)


 * After doing some digging it appears that currently blocked user also shares an interest in Brijwood and Manoj (actor)/Manoz which MANOJ JAAT created on the 13th.  Chrissymad  ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  17:48, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

 * I find the most convincing behavioral evidence to be between and  (a blocked user not previously connected to Jschauhan). Their versions of the article were quite close. There are also pretty decent links to Jschauhan based on topic area, although the versions of the article weren't the same. Please compare these two accounts to each other and separately to  (one of the only non-stale socks in the archive for Jschauhan). ~ Rob 13 Talk 21:09, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * However, best as I can tell from the one sock in the archive that's not stale, is ❌. Will leave for others more familiar with this case to decide whether this cluster should be split into a new SPI.  Ks0stm  (T•C•G•E) 21:31, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * from the archive, this is fairly convincing of connection between this group and the master. CU has been inconclusive and/or misleading on this case in the past. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 12:30, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
 * On second thought, I think the Mano[j|z] accounts are operated by a user who may be professionally related to Jschauhan, but I'm not convinced they're the same person. I will create a new case with the confirmed accounts. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 13:14, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
