First brought up on 's talkpage, filing here as per her request.

The day after the alleged master started editing, he received an urgent request from a sock of. Both this new account and the master/previous socks are interested in Indian media and pop culture. Furthermore, one of the account's articles, Paritosh Tripathi, has a cluster of suspicious SPAs:


 * Group 1 - Adding details on the subject's love life:
 * 
 * 
 * Group 2 - Removing details on the subject's love life:
 * 
 * 

Similarities between these two groups are obvious in terms of username format: Firstname.lastname8* and FirstnameLastname****. Plus the repeated use of the surnames "Singh" and "Kumar". This is also worth noting. GABgab 16:52, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

 * The following accounts are ✅ to each other:


 * In addtion, JeevanKumar2009 and SurajSingh1988 are ✅. The accounts are related to, but the technical connection is weak.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots  16:56, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
 * - Please block the confirmed accounts, for starters. I would like a second opinion regarding MrRock9. I found this diff ("This page is made requested by Paritosh himself") telling, but please use your own judgment here. Thanks, GABgab 01:08, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
 * GeneralizationsAreBad - Confirmed accounts are toast. I'm looking to see what connections I can find with the possible connection with . Stand by.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   01:13, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Other than the fact that two of the confirmed socks edited Paritosh Tripathi, an article that created - I'm not seeing any kind of connection here. Definitely not enough for me to assert that this account is connected in any way to any of the others. The fact that they did is suspicious circumstantially, but... *shrugs*... obviously not enough.  ~Oshwah~  (talk)  (contribs)   01:21, 23 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Thank you. No action against MrRock9. Socks tagged, closing. GABgab 01:40, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

 * I can't say if they're the same editor, but they appear to at least be part of the same paid editing operation, judging by the number of different names they've tried to create this article under, and MrRock9's long history of overtly promotional deleted articles.

A sleeper that woke up after two years and moved Draft:Dhiraj Kumar created by and as per some off-wiki evidence, this is the same person. GSS (talk |c|em ) 09:37, 16 July 2019 (UTC)


 * At first, I thought 182.58.202.16 only added a comment which I moved to the "comments by other users" section, but looking at the history of this page found they also added Almy as suspected sock and I have no idea about it. Regarding off-wiki evidence yes there is some private information which can't be publicly shared so, I will mail to the functionaries. Thanks GSS (talk |c|em ) 14:53, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Mishra Jee is . No evidence whatsoever has been provided for Almy and from a brief look at their contribs I see no reason for suspicion and have not investigated further. if that's what you mean by "per some off-wiki evidence" you'll need to say what that is. If you think it's private, please email the functionaries or Arbcom. Closing. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:37, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * ah, I see. Thanks for clarifying. (moved your comment to the appropriate section) Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 00:00, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
