 * I know but I had said that this user seems to be a "sock of some banned editor". Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 10:46, 28 June 2022 (UTC)


 * I have added an account now, see this failed attempt to sock and they have same interests. Can you endorse CU now? Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 15:57, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. - please indef all accounts listed above; it's fairly obvious that all of these are the same person. The range, despite its size, seems to have been used near-exclusively by this sockmaster since at least May (see e.g. edits to user sandbox, overlap here and here); please block it for two months (anon-only, account creation blocked).No tags for now, since this will need to be merged to WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Nenetarun.

 * We do not generally entertain requests to check accounts based on unsupported assertions that they are a "sock of some banned editor". That said, the account that has now been added does look likely to be a sock based on the diffs presented and their shared habit of welcoming users . It's also interesting that the name seems to be a play on, and that they mention an "old user account" . - to compare these accounts and check for others. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 20:27, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Sethia000 and Ohnoitsfoxie are ✅. In addition  are ✅, by which I mean they're a perfect match on the raw data, but there's an issue which still makes me want to see somebody else verify via behavioral evaluation.  If the behavior matches, feel free to tag them all as confirmed. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:46, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
 * PS: Parag666 looks like the oldest account. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:47, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks - I think these are all related, but while we're here,, could I ask you to take a look at ? This account has the same habit of mass welcoming users , precocious use of Twinkle, and overlaps on Mir Ali Osman Khan with Ohnoitsfoxie, Sethia000 and the IP range mentioned above - as well as some accounts from WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Nenetarun, which I think is the actual master of this case. Spicy (talk) 01:54, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Tiffanystrawberry is ✅, and (Nenetarun, Abby1101, Chanakya11neeti) are all ; tagging them as confirmed would be perfectly reasonable. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:48, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Merged, . --Blablubbs (talk) 17:06, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I've just blocked as a suspected sock. I don't know if anyone wants to do anything with this before this report is archived.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:08, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

User name is a spoof of User:HistoryofIran whom they are reverting. This is similar to confirmed sock Ohnoitsfoxie, which was a spoof of User:Ohnoitsjamie.

This account has similar edit summaries, does not behave new, and reinstated sock Sethia000's edits that were reverted.

There is a chance this is Sockpuppet investigations/ZemenfesKidus, as they voted Keep in their 6th edit on an article created by a confirmed sockpuppet there, However the attached accounts and account creation timing (08:38) and first edit (08:40) being before the AfD nomination (08:41) make me think that's a false trail.

 * Hi, User:GeneralNotability, I am fairly familiar with how Nenetarun edits. I was the one who reported his sockpuppetry a few months ago. Historicalfacts000 quacks like Nenetarun. I am sure they are the same person. Akshaypatill (talk) 09:32, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Same ISP, different devices. I'm inclined to say this isn't Nenetarun. Wrong country for ZemenfesKidus. I'm getting strong "somebody's sock" vibes from Historicalfacts, but couldn't tell you whose. GeneralNotability (talk) 23:14, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Reported user hasn't edited since 2 July. Don't disagree that they may very well be a sock of somebody, but it remains unclear who that may be. . --Jack Frost (talk) 09:04, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

He is back.


 * Adding merge tags to Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway.


 * Same edit and same edit summary on Battle of Pavan Khind.


 * Just like above, on Baji Prabhu Deshpande.


 * Both expanding on Tejasvi Surya's views about "Arab women".

 * Additional category addition on Pragya Singh Thakur. Azuredivay (talk) 12:21, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Past accounts are, but this account is based on CU log data. . Note that I do see Portwoman operating a second account, but I'll not share its name unless someone decides that Portwoman == Nenetarun (since I don't see obvious inappropriate use of multiple accounts here) GeneralNotability (talk) 20:26, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Bhartiya Gau Raksha Dal, re-adding category against consensus. Anitaraj001:, Portwoman:
 * List of converts to Hinduism from Islam, edit about Harilal Gandhi against consensus. Anitaraj001:, Portwoman:.
 * Islamic terrorism, same deletion of content, new bogus edit summary. Anitaraj001:, Portwoman:.

The text, "The Sword of Tipu Sultan - a web series on Tipu Sultan" was added by User:Indianjewme - see this diff and User:Goodfacts666 edits the same - see this

His sock User:Nenetarun mentions personal attack just like User:Goodfacts666 - see this diff for use by the former and this for use by the latter.

In one of her first few edits, uses WP:Hotcat which isn't something a new user would know about - see this, this and this and earlier, User:Nenetarun has also used WP:Hotcat - see this diff and this much like User:Goodfacts666

has made just a little more than 200 edits but it is difficult for me to believe that a new user can do this, this or this.


 * Also, this is a diff of her ability to auto-collapse sections in the Template:Sikh_Empire template which certainly a new user cannot do.
 * This and this are other diffs of her collapsing text.
 * In this diff, she has added an, "Unreferenced" tag which new users would not even know about.
 * In this diff she tells another user that pinkvilla is not a reliable source as per WP:RS which I think a new user would not be aware of.Haani40 (talk) 03:51, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
