The master and socks from the previous case were dealt with in April 2017. In particular, user:Bhojraj Sapkota was blocked for sockpuppetry on 24 April 2017. User:Bipin Sapkota started editing on 26 April 2017. The user names are also very similar. Topic of interest is the same covering Nepal related topics, and in fact, they have editted many of the same article such as Kul Man Ghising (Bhojraj, Bipin), Laure (Nepalese rapper) (Bhojraj, Bipin), Twakka Tukka Returns (Bhojraj, Bipin), Bipin Karki (Bhojraj, Bipin) Whpq (talk) 20:18, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

Created a day after Bipin was blocked. Created Buddhi Tamang, which Bipin had previously created. Edits to same articles as all three users already here. Yeryry (talk) 21:06, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

First edit was to create Phirphire (Novel), a recreation of Phirphire (novel) for which a sock of NepaliHelper was blocked on 31 May. Uncle Roy (talk) 11:17, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

Recreation of Aadha Love with nearly identical cv violation and cross over editing in same articles of interest to previous socks as well as novel creations with same structure and format as previous articles created by socks, though not the same subject. See Hari Bahadur (novel) Phirphire (Novel).

Immediately following ShyEager's block, UserHelps69 pops up following all the same editing patterns. see crossover and also creates Buddhi Tamang. There is also a lot of overlapping edits with Tero and userhelper. CHRISSY MAD ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  13:12, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Would also suggest taking a look at the history of Buddhi Tamang. There is an IP there that is also making visual edits, so may be related. Nicnote •  ask me a question  •  contributions  19:40, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Another recreation of Phirphire (novel), and it looks pretty similar to this and this. Overlaps with past socks (as well as other masters) at Ajhai Pani, Bhadragol, Chino (1991 film), Lukamari (2016 film). GABgab 15:43, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

 * - Please compare to past socks. Thanks, GABgab 15:43, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The technical details align exactly except the geolocation is off. I see they've used proxies in the past, so geolocation is not a good data point to use in this case. If the behaviour matches then they should be blocked and tagged as "proven". -- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 20:47, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
 * - Yes, I believe the behavior matches. If the reviewing admin agrees, please block them. Thanks, GABgab 21:40, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Now done, closing. GABgab 22:21, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

TOO easy FOr merR Was registered a day before yesterday and recreated master’s work in a single shot which looks like exactly same as deleted article. Not sure if CU is helpful here since they are using proxies so pinging who I think much familiar with their behaviour. Thank you – GSS (talk |c|em ) 07:24, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

All three users were registered within last 10 days and working in the same area. After few days of registration Purumuzik1 recreated his sandbox for Shiva Pariyar and then posted it in mainspace. Thank you – GSS (talk |c|em ) 19:10, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

This user hadn't edited in nearly a year which is why I suspect the last CU didn't include this account but recreated Swoopna Suman similar to the last blocked sock. CHRISSY MAD ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  12:55, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

 * There's some difference in the prose, but there is enough similarity and it is the same subject that I'm comfortable blocking at this time. This is either direct socking, or WP:PROXYING, and either way it isn't allowed. Closing. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:39, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

The suspected sock was registered in 2015 and their last edit was in 2017. He is editing in the same area reappeared today to create Swoopna Suman previously created by a few socks in this farm. GSS (talk |c|em ) 06:21, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

 * The fact that the alleged sockpuppet is years older than the master, combined with the significantly different prose makes me hesitant to block the account. Please re-file if further evidence turns up. Closing. Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:40, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

 * - PjJnep and the latest blocked sock in the Padamraj.joshi case are not stale. Probably worth a look to see if there is a discernible/technical connection. The SandDoctor  Talk 01:30, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Closing case. CU is worthless for Padamraj.joshi and they should be assessed solely on behaviour. This account is blocked, so there is nothing to do here. TonyBallioni (talk) 01:41, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
