All IP editors and users in question have added uncited mentions of someone named Nikhil Narang being in Naagin (TV series). 124.155.251.2 has done this here; the sockmaster, Nikhil narang05, has done this here; 2405:204:5:C1BE:6EB8:A53A:1C39:2518 has done this here; and 2405:204:20a:3ba9:4262:7f71:1516:e94 has done this here and here. Additionally, all editors except for 2405:204:20a:3ba9:4262:7f71:1516:e94 have both 1) added information saying that Nikhil Narang plays a character named Eklayva in Season 3, and 2) used the exact same citation to justify the change, even though the citation in question does not support the inclusion of the new information. Finally, all editors in question except for User:Nikhil narang05 have entered the information about Nikhil Narang by way of removing cited information about a different actor (Kinshuk Mahajan in the case of 124.155.251.2 and 2405:204:5:C1BE:6EB8:A53A:1C39:2518, and Pearl V Puri in the case of 2405:204:20a:3ba9:4262:7f71:1516:e94).

 * Thanks for the report, . I agree that it's very likely the same user was editing while logged out, though I'm not sure it was specifically malicious, as the account has really only edited an article once. I've semi-protected the article for 2 weeks to see if this will help prevent recurrences. Closing SPI. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:00, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
