Suspected sockpuppets




Evidence submitted by Sikh-history
I have been looking into these users and IP for some time. The User and IP's have all been blocked at some time or another for vandalism, removing content and 3 revert rule. They seem to be single issue accounts focused on disrupting "Sikh related" related articles. Removal of references etc seem to be characteristics. Articles Bahra and Mudhar in particular have had serial attacks, with mass deletions. No soon as one account is deleted, another starts.--Sikh- History 09:48, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

I chanced upon what I think may be some more socks; they are currently indef blocked per WP:DUCK. The IP is blocked for 7 days. Nancy talk  12:46, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

CheckUser request
Self-endorsing for CheckUser attention. I think, after looking at a few other edit histories from some of the affected articles, there are some more socks lying out there (that is, all the below have similarly engaged in removal of content, similar to the socks above):

to see if there are any more socks related to User:Fullmoon94, User:Funky074, or 86.136.0.88, as just reported above by Nancy after the first check was completed. MuZemike 19:16, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Nothing more that I can see. It's BT online, so checkuser is almost useless. J.delanoy gabs adds  01:17, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
