Master is already blocked for disruptive editing on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shivangi Khedkar. It seems editor has created two new accounts than appealing their block. User Tahrz created Draft:Shivangi Khedkar, but after AfC submission was declined, User Rithiml resubmitted it and then blanked the page. I feel all the accounts in question belongs to one person.

 * Based on behavior, Tahrz is clearly working in concert with the other accounts, even if they're not the same person. Blocking and tagging as suspected. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:24, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

 * I've blocked and tagged Prierya2k8 as a ✅ sock of from the archives and a suspected sock of Mickeydkop based on the results of the December 5 check. It looks like Rithiml was never tagged; I'm not sure whether that was intended or an oversight. Pinging  just in case.--  Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 19:05, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
 * @Ponyo, I think the tags were missed. I'll go and tag them now. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 20:03, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

Primary interest is Draft:Shivangi Khedkar which was created by suspected socks, and edited by the other socks. After denied edit-requests (asking to lower protection), and unrelated mini edits, exactly their 11th edit was to the semi-protected draft. – NJD-DE (talk) 19:28, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

 * It's a bit convoluted, but there's enough in the CU logs for me to call this very indeed - taking the editing interests into account, it's definitely likely enough to block. I'll also note that  is ✅ to .  Girth Summit  (blether)  12:21, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

 * There are two old cases and both the old cases are matching this user's connection.


 * 1=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Mickeydkop/Archive (Shivangi Khedkar)


 * 2=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Ashkalaan/Archive (Paras Kalnawat)


 * Both the user who created the old page and the current page creator have been accused of paid editing.


 * Page : Draft:Shivangi Khedkar


 * Blocked User "" and User "" are editing in the same place and have the same edits name.


 * Prierya2k8 = Special:Diff/1064289851
 * Shipa.l9  = Special:Diff/1091249116


 * By looking at Shipa.l9's contribution history, you will know how interested she is in contributing to this page.


 * "" is also very interested in contributing to this page, as he has requested three times for page protection.

 * I removed some incorrect formatting from this report. As with many recent SPIs filed by this user, this is frankly a mess that accuses numerous users of socking (apparently involving two different masters?) based on evidence that is difficult to understand and, as far as I can tell, shaky at best. Closing with no prejudice against a more coherent re-filing, but I don't think trying to decode this is a good use of clerks' and admins' limited amount of time.

These IPs belong to the same person. Because the person who created this page is using this IP. All three IP's have contributed to Radhika Muthukumar Page. The first Afd was commented on in support of the same IP range (117.193.137.253). The second Afd has also been commented on in support of the same IP range (117.209.207.169) PravinGanechari (talk) 06:53, 1 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Another new IP same range in Afd PravinGanechari (talk) 07:54, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
 * One more Same IP  PravinGanechari (talk) 12:25, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
 * IP edited Wikipedia in October 2012 ( 117.230.38.185 ) . That means it's not a new master, it's an old master . There was also a request to create the page by IP ( Shubhashish Jha - IP 117.193.136.237 .  has also spoken on the talk page with IP ( 117.193.136.237 ) .  had created 2 pages ( Shivangi Khedkar , Radhika Muthukumar ) , both the pages were supported by IP in Afd. ( 117.193.136.237  , 117.193.137.253 ). PravinGanechari (talk) 10:46, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Another case is his connection with this master. Last time I had done a case in SPI but it has not been investigated, that case was closed. But right now I am sharing the information there.
 * PravinGanechari (talk) 13:07, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Shivangi Khedkar page was created by and now a page of the same name has been created and that page has been contributed by Same IP ( 117.216.151.193  . See the name of the page that "Mickeydkop" was asked by the IP to create the page ( Shubhashish Jha ) I have given above, and see the name of the user who created the Draft:Shivangi Khedkar page ; there is a similarity between these two.  PravinGanechari (talk) 13:08, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * And in this case, more users are connected. In the same case, the blocked user  and   have edited the same place and in the same name. Look at the contribution that both  and  have contributed to the Shilpa Khedkar page ; both of them are showing a lot of interest in that page.  has also requested page protection 3 times    . In total, this page has been submitted 4 times.
 * These three users have a common number "9". PravinGanechari (talk) 13:08, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
