Both users continuously did same disruptive edits on Duryodhana, Wives of Karna and Vrishaketu. And now user 2 Kairakairavkairat is continuously doing continuous disruptive false edits on Anupamaa. Also both are having same name and same type of edits.Pri2000 (talk) 12:16, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Areas of interest appear are the same (Indian Soap operas and Mythology, check contributions).
 * Identical style of Userpage.
 * Creating vague sections under the name of Mahabharata or Serial Characters.

The user needs to be banned immediately before further disruption of articles. They have been continuously removed sourced information on articles like Draupadi, Yudhishthira, and so on. Other than that, the sockpuppet has also edited List of characters in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai in exact same way as the previous other sockpuppets. Also they have the exact same format of user pages, where cast credits are made under vague titles of mbh characters.

Is there a way to stop them from creating more vandal accounts or atleast a way to get notified when a account by starting with "Naira" is created? . 245CMR . •👥📜 16:09, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
