The sock master Jyotirmoy25 has been repeatedly vandalizing pages related to the Indian Military with a specific emphasis on Indian Military aviation related pages. He follows a pattern of inflating numbers and figures and linking copyvio images or invalid images. He has been especially active on the List of active Indian military aircraft page over the last few months. A look at this pages history logs will reveal just how active he has been despite all his edits being reverted by others. Several users including myself have repeatedly attempted to reach out to him and when that failed, to warn him, but he does not seem to pay any heed to the rest of us. Recently he has taken to uploading copyrighted images of aircraft labeled as 'own work' and repeatedly trying to add this images into articles. Many of these 'own work' images being uploaded by him depict one aircraft while being titled as a different aircraft even when the differences are easily distinguishable.

Repeatedly switching images many times over the course of a few days seems to be his signature move.

The suspected sockpuppet Saikat252 has the exact same pattern of behavior (despite it being a new account and only having a limited number of edits). Several of the edits made by both accounts are identical, even going so far as the puppet trying to push in images uploaded by the master. I call this an obvious case of WP:Duck as ask that this pest be blocked.

Exact same behavior as previously reported sock. Even the name of this puppet is similar to the puppet above. diff 1

Since this latest reported puppet seems to have been in existence from December 2014, should a check user be requested to uncover other sleeper puppet accounts? Pvpoodle (talk) 07:14, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Update 28 Jan 2015. Exactly similar behavior from newly added ip (117.194.158.255). All edits made by ip are similar. Added to list. Pvpoodle (talk) 08:54, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

 * I've blocked Drsaikatdeb, as it was making the same edit as Jyotirmoy25. I'm not as positive with the IP, though. I didn't find many edits that associated it with the master account. I've semi-protected the page for two weeks to help with the sockpuppetry. Mike V • Talk 03:15, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

The sockmaster Jyotirmoy has a notorious record of inflating numbers and uploading copyvios as own work and replacing the images in all the articles with these copyvios. The current user does exactly the same. The usernames are a striking match and the contributions are ditto. Seems like an obvious DUCK to me.

Diffs:
 * Inserting obvious copyvios into articles as own work
 * Another case

Although the edits were constructive, the names seem to be identical and User:Jyotirmoy09 has previously edited List of active Indian military aircraft. User:Jyotirmoy25 edited List of active Indian military aircraft in this diff. ☮ JAaron95  Talk   15:39, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
