Suspected sockpuppets

On 15 May, Avniesh bhardwaj began creating his namesake article, as you can see from the filter log. On June 7, after remaining dormant for over 3 years, ManishMuradiya began editing and created Nivaan Sen. The next day, Nivaansen17 began removing the CSD tag (apparently from this same article). To cap it off, this latter account then created Avniesh Bhardwaj. The overlap and lengthy absences seem quite dubious to me, which is why I'm requesting CU. GABgab 19:32, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment--:--Is Alan confirmed to any master i.e would G5 be applicable?Also, I wander the meaning of related, since some admin wrote at a prev. SPI corresponding to a near-same situation that Technical evidence is negative.Regards:) Winged Blades of Godric On leave 15:08, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Behaviorally related by subject matter. Clearly UPE that has been socking for quite some time...yes, G5 the articles where appropriate.

 * , when I was going through the G5s placed by Godric and came across . They created Draft:ByHours, which was made as an article by the named master. Might be worth a check. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:32, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Geolocation and UAs are different.

While the account has been active in parallel to Alan Hardest, the main activity started after that was blocked. The newly created userpage has an eerily similar "disappointed with promo content" text to Alan Hardest. While the choice of article is new, the content type is nothing different, also, the name is very similar to the related sock farm -- Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Wikiaccnt1234. Pinging who have been involved with clean up on the farm. There's no doubt that this is UPE, just whether it's this particular farm. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  03:27, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment--Hmm...The user page(s) are certainly vry-similar(ly)-toned. Both profess to have a dislike for promotion while indulging in these very activities.Behavioural overlap is somewhat hazy, which is not unexpected given that this acc. has touched only one article.So, yeah a CU is warranted.

 * Wikieditions is ❌ to the accounts in the archive. Based on account creation date (Sept. 2014) and the first article that they edited, there is a good chance that they may be related to this case. I found that while following this account. That should be decided based on behavior.

 * is ❌ to the accounts in the archive and also not related to Wikieditions however I believe that his contribs need closer examination as potential UPE.

 * Wikieditions is obviously dodgy IMO: I started Sockpuppet investigations/Wikieditions this morning, although I guess the above probably rules out any CU link between them as it would have turned up in Berean's checks... SmartSE (talk) 23:19, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * SmartSE, I've run a different check for that with results there.


 * Closing with no determination that these are the same person, but see Sockpuppet investigations/Wikieditions. Clerks, please keep this report here; do not merge. ~ Rob 13 Talk 04:37, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
