Suspected sockpuppets



 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

 * 1) Account is created (Oct. 27) within days after Lord Aseem is indeffed Oct. 24.
 * 2) Immediately picks up where Lord Aseem has left off at Rani Padmini. Both Lord Aseem and this sock are obsessed with the historicity of Rani Padmini and pushing the POV that she is a real person. LA, K.
 * 3) He even creates a clumsy attempt to pre-empt an SPI
 * 4) The other major obsession is with Battle of the Hydaspes, where again the sock picks up right where Lord aseem left off. Specifically, both Lord aseem and the sock are particularly exercised with the fact that the battle was the most costly for Alexander (LA:, K:), they are both hellbent on removing the wording that the Greeks had "superior technology" (LA:, K:), and the fable from Justin about Porus challenging Alexander to a duel (LA:, K:).
 * 5) Randomly capitalizing Words for No reason. This Is very Obvious. (LA:, K: ("Sock") ) Khirurg (talk) 06:49, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
 * 6) Was previously socking using IPs.
 * 7) Addresses users as "Sir" LA: K:
 * 8) Likes to make up stories about who he is LA: K:

Hello, this is Benedict (Kamlesh), and I am using Aseem's personal smartphone. This is his IP address.

I logged in to tell you Sir that I had reached my Hostel and give you my Hostel IP address, but I have been unable to edit in for you. Hence I used aseem's phone to let you know this. Now I will defend myself above.115.97.47.79 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:08, 5 November 2017 (UTC)


 * 1) I have nowhere penned down any comment in favour of making Rani Padmini historical. This here:- is written for user Utcursh who wanted to know why Ms. Ramya Sreenivasan has not referred to Chhitai text as the oldest source on Padmini and instead based her entire research's premise on that Padmavat by Jayasi is the oldest source. I am a Speed-Reader as I have stated, and my skill is in quickly going through texts. I challenge the user who reported me here to reproduce an edit by me where I directly edited the page to make Rani Padmini historic. My edits were written to make the legend of Rani Padmini coherrent.

Afterwards I focussed less on Edits (as it would seem suspicious for users like Khirug) and decided to go through the edit wars. I found that there was a dispute here, where Khirurg removed the title of "King" from Porus on his own choice (whim). User Khirurg is also hell-bent on saying Bucepalus was not mortally wounded despite this being a opinion shared by the likes of AB Bosworth, Peter Green, Frank J Holt and many others. I did not touch Bucephalus matter still just to not provoke him:-  Not that I was personally triggered here but I decided to read on his (Porus) political status afterwards and found out that Mr.Khirurg was in the wrong. Hence I put in the correct status of "plenipoteniary" which meant Porus was a full fledged *sovereign* aka King (even by hiearchy Porus is a King since Alexander's a Emperor) with simply military plegded to Alexander the great.  Also I saw that the ending reasons for greek victory were not elaborated because Aseem and Khirurg had messed it up. The Indian blades were called shortswords instead of broadswords, so i corrected it. And I further read through Kaushik Roy's texts and found out certain elaborations. This is the edit here:- That Battle of Hydaspes being the most costly battle for Alexander is the most commonly held view in mainstream academia supported by stalwarts like Kaushik Roy, Peter Green, John M Kistler and many others and even among pr And user Khirurg still has a issue with stating this direct fact with substance (the numerical casualty figure is important) but is peculiarly okay with praises for Porus which do not explain themselves for any unseasoned history initiate. Like I said, I only speed-read through Mr.Roy's research works:-  I was going to write more on Alexander-Porus collaboration, Alexander the Great's impact in the Punjab region, etc. but User Khirurg still had to put the situation into a deadlock despite me not inflaming previous edit wars.
 * 1) At battle of hydaspes page, which I just checked out for curiosity and go through the edit war mainly, I was compelled to edit in as there was a space between complete victory for Greeks and the note for it and I wanted to rectify it. I then decided to add a link to Satrap for Porus because satrap(governor) is very messy and shallow and actually incorrect.


 * 1) Rest are all outright lies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.97.47.79 (talk) 16:49, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

 * I have blocked per this diff, but I'm still keeping open for CU as I don't want to revoke talk page access just yet and I'm also expecting more socks or an older master in this mess. Also noting that both and  have run CUs (before this one was created) as noted on the master's UTRS block log. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  13:13, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

How does having the same IP make a difference? Shared WIFI will obviously show that the profiles are related. It's obvious Wikipedia adminstration has gotten lazy to do accurate root cause analysis. Most of the contributions show that Benedict and Aseem are cancelling each other out in many of their edits. Where Aseem is removing Technology of Macedonians, Benedict is adding it in as well and improving it. What a shame... So much potential was lost because of whims of a single user who doesn't want any alterations to his faux-indophobic version of history on the Battle of Hydaspes page. 42.109.86.45 (talk) 16:46, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
