Duck - same as yesterday's sock, second edit was an identical revert to Arjuna ,,,. As first edit was two days ago, might be worth checking for sleepers. Otherwise, I'll request semi-protection. The Mighty Glen (talk) 15:52, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

 * The sock has since been blocked, but I extended the master's block to 1 week. Next one should be indefinite. GABgab 20:38, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 *  Vishvjeetsinh Rana indef blocked and tagged. Increased the block length for the Puppeteer.  Ben   Mac  Dui  20:45, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * When I opened the log for Kingporus it was still on 72 hours but somehow we both blocked him. I was a shade harsher. Let me know if you want me to reduce it again... Ben   Mac  Dui
 * No objection here. GABgab 20:48, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Daily block evasion. Immediately on account creation, posts to Arjuna: ,. This is a close paraphrase, but not identical to previous sockpuppet posts: ,,,. Evidently trying to escape detection by altering a few words, changing templates and section headings, etc. The Mighty Glen (talk) 12:21, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Sock then thanks me for my first reversion of KINGPORUS (don't know to link to a thank here), then reposts apparently unrelated archived discussion to Talk:Karna:. When I revert this and ask sock why the archived discussion was reposted, I get this bizarre reply:. The Mighty Glen (talk) 12:29, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Daily duck: first edit was to blue his user page, second four minutes later was to unrevert the edit of previous sock King Alexander123: The Mighty Glen (talk) 09:53, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Third and fourth edits, unreverted again at Arjuna: ,. The Mighty Glen (talk) 10:55, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your follow-up comment below. I have no expertise whatsoever in the subject, so am in no position to judge on whether sockpuppet removal of references and addition of references from sacredtexts.com is an improvement to the article. I'll be grateful for any help you (and other editors) can offer on that. In the meantime, I've requested semi-protection for the article. I also notice that User:King Alexander123 is not yet blocked: is this intentional? The Mighty Glen (talk) 11:44, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

It is perfectly clear that Sunith krishna ks = King Alexander123 and the former is now blocked and tagged (with the assumption that KINGPORUS is the master). If time permits I will go back and take a longer look at the latter. (It's not relevant to this issue but I note that, at the very least, some of the sock edits seem to improve the quality of the language used at Arjuna.) Ben   Mac  Dui  11:31, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
 * King Alexander123 now also blocked and tagged. I can't say I am 100% convinced of the KINGPORUS connection (say 85%) but whoever it is they are clearly socking. Ben   Mac  Dui  12:05, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I've indeffed the master for persistent socking - enough's enough. Closing. GABgab 17:52, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Already blocked on behavioural grounds for 31 hours. If someone wants to up the block to indef as a puppet I can definitely see the behavioural links. Amortias (T)(C) 20:39, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

Duck: first edit was to Abhimanyu:, compare identical edit by blocked sock User:Vishvjeetsinh Rana:. Note similarity of bogus edit summary to those of yesterday's sock Special:Contributions/Brihuu Arjun Aunty. I suggest a CU for further sleepers. The Mighty Glen (talk) 15:05, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
