Mass socking going on here at Hirak Hemant Bhattara and Talk:Hirak Hemant Bhattara from an editor attempting to stop the page being deleted.

Mohammed votes to remove speedy deletion ...followed by Thepikaboo441 2 hours later ...followed by Liam 9 minutes afterwards ...after which Mohammed goes ahead and removes the A7 tag himself.

It goes without saying that these accounts have only ever edited this article. At the very least it is meatpuppeting but given the timings and similar tone of language I think it is socking.

Recreation of master’s article Hirak Hemant Bhattara and then moved to Hirak Hemant Bhattarai by Gferr and the use of previous sock Thepikaboo441’s image File:Artist Image via Tunedloud Magazine.jpg smells like undisclosed paid editing. Thank you – GSS (talk |c|em ) 06:07, 15 July 2017 (UTC)


 * If we see their contributions it looks like same user using both accounts. Buyhighselllowester was registered few days after Gferr, his fourth edit was to create his own talk page exactly same as Gferr and both users created exactly same subpages (Special:PrefixIndex/User:Gferr, Special:PrefixIndex/User:Buyhighsellloweste) and posted same kind of messages. I’m unable to see Omjptm’s deleted edits but recreation of Hirak Hemant Bhattarai using different title Hirak Hemant Bhattarai (musician) was one of them. I don’t have access to my laptop so editing from my pad and it’s a bit hard for me to grab all their similarities so I appreciate if someone can have a deep look into their contributions. Thank you – GSS  (talk |c|em ) 14:54, 15 July 2017 (UTC)


 * I have also included who's editing behaviour is exactly same as Gferr and Buyhighselllowester e.g. creating exactly same self talk page and subpages (see his contributions to know more). There are some more evidence available that I can provide but I don't feel confortable sharing it because as you can see socks are becoming smart these days that they know how to cheat CU and telling them their similarities will help them in futre but if anyone still wants it I don't mind sharing it.

 * As expected Gferr disclosed they were paid to create Bryan Armentrout after asked them to do so on their talk page. GSS  (talk |c|em ) 07:35, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Omjptm and Buyhighselllowester are technically ❌. Gferr has the same UA but is editing from a different continent, so I'd say that's unrelated as well. I see only the confirmed socks on the master's IP. You'll have to use behavior. Katietalk 13:30, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Meat is possible. Closing this for now.
