Recreation of BRIJWOOD (currently salted as Brijwood) and now with "" Jais Chauhan ;) Chrissymad  ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  17:43, 24 February 2017 (UTC)


 * After doing some digging it appears that currently blocked user also shares an interest in Brijwood and Manoj (actor)/Manoz which MANOJ JAAT created on the 13th.  Chrissymad  ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  17:48, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

 * I find the most convincing behavioral evidence to be between and  (a blocked user not previously connected to Jschauhan). Their versions of the article were quite close. There are also pretty decent links to Jschauhan based on topic area, although the versions of the article weren't the same. Please compare these two accounts to each other and separately to  (one of the only non-stale socks in the archive for Jschauhan). ~ Rob 13 Talk 21:09, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * However, best as I can tell from the one sock in the archive that's not stale, is ❌. Will leave for others more familiar with this case to decide whether this cluster should be split into a new SPI.  Ks0stm  (T•C•G•E) 21:31, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * from the archive, this is fairly convincing of connection between this group and the master. CU has been inconclusive and/or misleading on this case in the past. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 12:30, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
 * On second thought, I think the Mano[j|z] accounts are operated by a user who may be professionally related to Jschauhan, but I'm not convinced they're the same person. I will create a new case with the confirmed accounts. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 13:14, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

New editor created BrajBhasha cinema a new neologism, as Brijwood and Brajwood have both been salted for repeated recreation, but Brijwood is an AKA in the new article. MANOJ and Jais Chauhan (see Sockpuppet investigations/Jschauhan/Archive) are both mentioned in this new article and both editors have tag-teamed in the past.

Also created Hal (movie) which was "produced by Manoj" - Arjayay (talk) 10:51, 17 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Following deletion of BrajBhasha cinema on 17 May, user has re-created it as Brajbhasha cinema and also started List of brajwood films - all other edits are adding Brijwood/Brajwood to existing articles

Duck. New account, with achievements so far mainly consisting in buggering about with pagemoves of Shiv Kumar Pahtak, and recreating AFD'd article Brijwood in its latest of many spellings, Cinema of Brajbhasha. Mr. MacTidy (talk) 13:12, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment on user page, sock has helpfully posted their planned path of spelling variations: Brajbhasha Film Industry (deleted variant from previously blocked sock User:Kavitalohkana), Cinema of Brajbhasha (current iteration), and Cinema of Braj (not yet created).

 * Came to report the same user - The Cinema of Brajbhasha is clearly by him, just a minor name change from his previously deleted articles, which include Brajbhasha Cinema, Brajbhasha Film Industry, BrajBhasha cinema, Brajbhasha cinema and Brajbhasa cinema, 2 of which have been salted. As for the page moves I suspect these are because his usual target for page moves - Manoj - now requires "extended confirmed" rights.  I also should have seen this addition and subsequent deletion to Haryanvi earlier. - Arjayay (talk) 13:39, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

Remarkably competent new account turning Brijbhasha film industry from redirect to article.

Please see User:Manoj Bhaiya - This includes his usual claims to be an actor, film-maker and writer who comes from Paigaon. The history of the Paigaon article shows several socks + IPs adding Manoj to the article. Also uses his standard description "name of latest sock is a Wikipedia editor." User has used multiple last names, including User:MANOJ JAAT, User:Manoz kumaar, User:MANOJ HINDU as they get blocked in turn. All article edits by User:Manoj Bhaiya relate to Braj, Braj Bhasha and Indian cinema

User:ध्रुव कुन्तल here and the 2 IPs (probably stale) here and here added Manoj to the Paigaon article. Arjayay (talk) 13:59, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

User:Angreji changed the redirect at Braj Bhasha language to an article on "Braj Bhasha language cinema" here using a version of the standard "Brijwood" text, including himself as "Actor, Director, Film Producer and Writer Mr. Manoj gave the name BRAJWOOD to Braj Bhasha cinema" User:Angreji also added a brijwood blogspot external link to the article here 14 minutes after the article was hi-jacked by an IP (see below) User:Angreji/sandbox includes "Manoj gave the name BRAJWOOD to Brajabhasha cinema" and links to other salted articles.--Arjayay (talk) 11:06, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

IP-2405:205:2114:4380:9651:250:8094:a72b overwrote the redirect at Wollywood (Sri Lankan Tamil cinema) with a slight variation of the standard text here - Arjayay (talk) 14:10, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

User:Angreji has now created Brij Bhasha cinema using a version of the usual text - the title chosen to be different from previous creations at Cinema of Brajbhasha, Brajbhasha Cinema, Brajbhasha Film Industry, BrajBhasha cinema, Brajbhasha cinema and Brajbhasa cinema some of which are already salted. - Arjayay (talk) 18:45, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
