 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

All accounts have attempted to create articles on non-notable Bangladeshi rapper Black Zang, including but not limited to:
 * Black Zang -- speedied four times and salted
 * Black Zang (Musician) -- speedied once
 * Black Zang (Star) -- speedied once
 * Black zang -- speedied twice
 * Black zanG -- speedied once
 * Black Zang. -- speedied once
 * Black Zang (the rapper) -- speedied once
 * Black Zang (rapper) -- speedied three times
 * Black Zang (musician) -- speedied once

All accounts have shown similar behavior in replacing talk page comments with their signature (Master, Sock 1, Sock 2).

Maybe related but maybe not: Raj Koyburto's first undeleted edit was to remove a sock tag from User:Blackdada, who had been blocked as a sock of indef-blocked RAJ GHUNIA, and Raj Koyborto shares an interest with RAJ GHUNIA in the Kaibartta caste, but the evidence didn't seem quite obvious enough to post this under the earlier SPI. I'll leave the question of a need for CU to the reviewing admin.

Raj Koyburto is about halfway through a one-month block for vandalism, and as of this writing Raj Koyborto is listed at AIV for repeated removal of speedy tags after a final warning. -- Finngall  talk  06:08, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
The socks of this account added similar - and in some cases identical - information to the same articles. I've blocked the master and Raj Koyburto (Raj Koyborto was already blocked). I don't think a checkuser is necessary, as the behavior is quite obvious and the user's behavior is cause for a block even if there weren't multiple accounts.
