Suspected sockpuppets
Somewhat subtle, Krakhesh is an account of many years. Excell strive is far newer, and appears to have been used to validate the work of the former. A recent example is the move of IEEE Transactions on Green Communications and Networking from Drat space and the sanitising of banners at the head.

In User talk:Excell strive they have been asked by : Are you using multiple accounts to edit Wikipedia?, and the rest of that thread is telling. The most significant is All of your edits have been to write about Rakhesh Singh Kshetrimayum or add references to him on other articles. That is a clear pattern of promotional editing. You have been warned about this before.

I feel that conversation shows the traits of supposed injured innocence, and that CU will be the correct route to untangle this 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 07:58, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Added Meitei origin on the basis that they have been removing banners from Rakhesh Singh Kshetrimayum who appears to be Krakhesh. Note that Excell Strive has also edited here.  This looks more and more as though this is a small sock farm intent on building the reputation of the alleged master. They also coincide on Meitei people  🇺🇦  Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 08:20, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
 * This diff is the comment by Krakhesh who seems to be accidentally logged into the "other" account, replying to as though they are Excell strive..
 * While not completely conclusive, this is quacking into large PA system, saying, in Mallardish, "Look at me!" 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 18:12, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

In the talk page thread mentioned above, I made a post on Excell strive's talk page, and Krakhesh responded as if I had addressed them. Writing style is identical. - MrOllie (talk) 13:38, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
