Konguboy has been edit warring in articles related to Kongu Nadu, Kongu Vellalar Chera dynasty and a few more subjects for the past one month. He was blocked for editwarring on 9 April. After that he has started edit warring logged out and using another account. He uses a static ip 59.96.31.7 and three dynamic ip ranges 117.206.98.157/20, 14.98.20.199/20 and 59.92.118.121/20

1) Konguboy and Pandyaboy are the same. Konguboy's actual name (i will use X here) is given in the metadata of a file he uploaded to commons . One of the first edits of Pandyaboy was to add an external link to a blog written by X . Pandyaboy immediately edits (after half an hour) the Kangee article created by a cut and paste move by konguboy

2) Konguboy and 59.96.31.7 are the same. They add the same material two different articles - hereditary education policy k. kamaraj within minutes of each other

3) 59.96.31.7 and 117.206.105.182/20 are the same. When the previous addition to k. kamaraj of 59.96 was reverted 117.206. added the same material a week later

4) 117.206.105.182/20, konguboy and pandyaboy are the same. The two ips and pandyaboy all edit Madukkarai wall and Kangee

5) 14.98.20.199 is same as konguboy. konguboy was blocked for edit warring in the Tamil Kshatriya article. After User:Qwryxian gave him a final warning, konguboy logged in as 14.98.20.199 and undid Qwryxian's edits

6) 59.92.118.121 is same as konguboy. Konguboy created the articles Pandya Nadu and Chola Nadu on 27 April and 59.92.118.121 is adding wikilinks to it a few hours later in other articles.

It is clear all four parties are the same person. This person is not here for contributing constructively. He has been warned multiple times by multiple users and he blanks his talk page everytime he gets a warning message. (a trait shared by Pandyaboy). He hasnt changed his behaviour and has created socks and edits logged out to continue the edit wars.

I request a ban for the master and his socks and a sleeper check as well to find any other accounts he has created. Sodabottle (talk) 13:43, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

No comment on the IPs, but the named accounts appear to be the same. TN X Man 18:51, 27 April 2011 (UTC) I have indeffed User:Konguboy as a sock of User:PONDHEEPANKAR, I've blocked a couple of socks recently and this one passes the duck test easily. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  05:43, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Blocked and tagged the confirmed account. I've also protected some of the articles. Hopefully this puts an end to things. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 02:11, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Sendhilraja is the latest sock of the sockmaster Konguboy and. konguboy/pondheepankar is a long time sockmaster (indeffed since 2007). I am using Konguboy as the master name here.

1) First edits of Senthilraja were to the chera dynasty template and cheraman perumal articles. And both edits are same as Konguboy's previous edits. a) Chera dynasty template - senthilraja konguboy b) cheraman perumal - senthilraja, konguboy

2) Senthilraja creates the pov fork Sangam chera dynasty with the same material Konguboy was edit warring to introduce in Chera Dynasty before he was indeffed

3) The second sock "cheraman" seems to be a sleeper created in April 29 to edit war in the Chera article. It has only one edit sofar, but matches the actions of Konguboy Sock master has this habit of creating sleeper accounts which he uses after some time. So i request a sleeper check as well.

4)Note to CU: This sockmaster uses atleast three known ip ranges one of which 117.206.96.0/20 is currently rangeblocked by TNXMAN. But he also used other ip ranges - 59.92.96.0/19 and 59.96.16.0/20 Sodabottle (talk) 06:33, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

✅ the following are the same:
 * TN X Man 13:25, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Blocked and tagged all socks. As a procedural note, I'm not sure what's going on with all of these accounts; it seems that Konguboy, PONDHEEPANKAR and Mukkulam may all somehow be related? I'm not sure. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 14:12, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Konguboy / PONDHEEPANKAR is a long term sockmaster (indeffed since 2007) with an obsession with Chera dynasty. That article and other related articles have been semiprotected due to his continuous distruption. Now he has created another id Dumeelbatcha.

1)Dumeelbatcha has created the pov fork Sangam Chera Dynasty. This article was earlier created with the same content Sangam chera dynasty (since deleted as CSD:G5) by a confirmed sock of his and which uses the image File:TamiNadu 5.png uploaded to commons by konguboy.

2)Dumeelbatcha edits to the Tamilakam article, which has been one of the targets of konguboy in the past Sodabottle (talk) 16:50, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Request a sleeper check as well as this sockmaster has access to a couple of IP ranges and creates more than one sock at a time.

Yes I am everybody. This fellow Sudharsan or now Sodabottle is a paid Dravidar Kazaga agent who sits virtually for all his time in wiki. He bullies anyone who tries for consensus and bans them as PONDHEEPANKAR God knows who Ohlikutty (talk) 07:10, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but all of the data on the sockmaster is. TN X Man 17:41, 2 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Isnt CU data stored for 6 months?. The last CU for this user was on May 15. So can this id be checked against the last batch?. Even without CU, i believe this meets WP:DUCK. (recreating the same article using the same image the master has uploaded to commons). Can you please block this guy and delete the article.--Sodabottle (talk) 18:01, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Data is stored for three months, at which time it cycles off the database. Neither the CheckUser extension nor the check log stores any of this data from a check.  If the account hasn't been used in three months, the data is gone.  Keegan (talk) 21:14, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification. Please take action on behavioral evidence --Sodabottle (talk) 03:21, 3 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Per WP:DUCK I've blocked and tagged the account. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 04:00, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
 * In light of Ohlikutty's comment, I've reopened this case and have endorsed for a check between that account and Dumeelbatcha. Given that the account is a week or two old, I think a sleeper check is also in order. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 13:29, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

is a ✅ match to. Didn't find any sleepers though. Elockid  ( Talk ) 15:10, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
