After Ramnashyadav1982 was blocked for repeated copyright infringement, Mrigendra Ranjan began uploading identical files to those previously uploaded by Ramnashyadav1982 (which had been deleted as obvious copyvio or for lack of license). The show a very similar editing patterns, and the same misunderstanding of restoring deleted images and the hangon tag: see Ramnashyadav1982 and Mrigendra Ranjan.

First edit is a history undo to attempt to restore a gallery of deleted images in an article repeatedly edited by both master and previous puppet, and then the replacement of copyvio into an article created by the other (already indef-blocked) puppet,. VernoWhitney (talk) 15:19, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

They recently recreated verbatim Madhurendra Kumar Singh which was previously deleted at AfD and edited heavily by both User:Mrigendra Ranjan and previously confirmed sock User:Ramnareshyadav1982 and used the same "facts are facts" style argument comparing the edit summary here and the now-deleted comments at Talk:Madhurendra Kumar Singh.

For checkuser purposes, all the previous accounts are. From a technical standpoint, this account doesn't match up with the IPs investigated by Jpgordon last time, but it was so long ago the IPs certainly could have changed. TN X Man 18:51, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The language is very similar per the comments of VernoWhitney above. I looked at the Madhurendra Kumar Singh article when Mrigendra Ranjan last edited it before deletion, and when Rajput babusahab recreated it. They are identical, word-for-word, throughout most of the articles. It would be really difficult to believe these aren't the same person, so I am blocking per WP:DUCK. --  At am a  頭 21:02, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
