All the accounts are SPAs involved in promoting an Indian doctor called Yellapu Srihari (Y. Srihari), also spelt Sreehari. The recent activity has consisted of creating and editing the article about Srihari, posting to WP:REFUND and the article's talk page with pleas of keeping it, and, as of today, posting to the AfD discussion that's been open since Feb 25. The article was semi-protected after six different IPs had removed the AfD tag. All the requests to keep the article are very similar indeed, with nonstandard punctuation and capitalisation, and weird use of spacing - the latter is also seen in the article, , ,  (honestly, check almost any random diff in the article history and you will see it) as well as in other articles edited by the accounts:.

Other activity involves creating Global medical association, created by several of the accounts at different times and deleted every time. This is the association that Srihari is the president of. In April 2014, the accounts that were active then would insert Srihari's name in other articles, e.g. and.

Some of the accounts are from April 2014, the rest were created in late February or early March 2015. In addition to the sockmaster, the accounts from 2014 are User:Agganoor, User:Ygbvani, User:Ygbhavani, and User:Ydsameeksh. Of those, Agganoor and Ygbvani are blocked. All the IPs that are listed have been active over the last couple of weeks.

Three of the newer accounts are also already blocked as obvious sockpuppet accounts: User:Deepadeepa5, User:Madhavi3, and User:Vidhyadhari.

As can be seen, several of the names are very similar indeed (e.g. Jyoshna7, Jyoshna200, Jyoshnajyoshna7). In addition, there is strong behavioural similarities as shown above. See for instance this bit of tag-teaming to get rid of the AfD template: and the next edit  Note that all edits of all accounts and IPs, with the exception of some very old edits by a couple of the IPs, are directly related to promoting Y. Srihari.

CU requested because of the ridiculous number of suspected socks and my suspicion that there are sleepers. bonadea contributions talk 19:59, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Comment to the CU investigation: was marked as stale as that account hadn't been used since April last year, but since the CU was completed, this afternoon, that user has made several edits. Not sure whether another CU can be made but I wanted to mention it anyway. --bonadea contributions talk 21:57, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' This IP wasn't on the list above. It only started being used today and was used for 2 edits that were adding similar content to List of medical organisations. These edits occurred just after one of the other listed accounts had been active on the List of Indian doctors' associations, making similar edits. Drchriswilliams (talk) 17:35, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Most of the edits are deleted, so I can't see them. But if all those IPs also took part in promoting Y. Srihari (recently), they should also be blocked.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  23:01, 5 March 2015 (UTC)


 * A few things to note. It looks like Vijaya5 and Rajasekhar4 don't seem to exist since they were caught in the account throttle. (See abuse filter log) I've blocked all the accounts listed here because they all have the common link of writing about Y. Srihari. (e.g. Deepadeepa5, Sangeetha88, Preetham1, Naaga 100, Nsmutte) Also,  became active 3 hours after you performed your check. If you wish to run a check, that's fine but I've already blocked it based upon the behavioral evidence.

 * I thought about it, but my concern is that there might be too much collateral damage If there was a range block. Also, the AfD was closed and the article has been deleted, so I don't anticipate any IP contributions in the immediate future. <b style="color:#151B54">Mike V</b> • <b style="color:#C16C16">Talk</b> 01:55, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

The original Sockpuppet Investigation was carried out in March 2015 after promotional material was added relating to an Indian doctor called Yellapu Srihari (Y. Srihari), also spelt Sreehari. After discussion, an article was deleted Articles for deletion/Y. Srihari. A new article has now been created with the name of Hypnotist srihari. Here are some of the edits by WP:SPA Plkmnb and an IP that I suspect may be connected. ,, , , , , , , , ,

A deletion tag was added that was removed by an account called Okmnb1 then readded shortly after. Drchriswilliams (talk) 14:54, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

New recreations of the article about Y. Srihari: Kumarikumari100 created Sreehari some months ago, and it was deleted yesterday; Hypnoanesthetist created Dr srihari today and Kumarikumari100 has been editing it. Although the old socks are stale, there seems to be very strong behavioural evidence. The Guinness World Record claim (which appears to be incorrect) seems to have been present in Hypnotist srihari, a version of the article that was deleted in September - I don't know what else that article said, but it's clearly about the same person. bonadea contributions talk 18:31, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Some stylistic similarities with previously blocked socks are noticeable in these diffs: and. --bonadea contributions talk 20:57, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

I just noticed that an IP was used to fix some spelling errors in Kumarikumari100's talk page post,. There were a lot of previous socks from the 115.24x range. --bonadea contributions talk 21:39, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

WP:DUCK. This time the article is called Sreehari dr but the contents are identical. I suspect User:Sekharrahkes is another sock since they have only edited this article, but the edit was pretty weird:.

At this time I'm asking for a CU because it seems likely that there are more accounts around. bonadea contributions talk 08:49, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Also 115.242.224.1 which posted in a characteristic manner to the article's talk page. --bonadea contributions talk 11:17, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

For the record, and to have this on one page, these are the article versions I found by making a couple of quick searches: Y. Srihari (Afd), Dr sreeharii, Dr sreehari, Doctor sreehari, Dr y.srihari, Dr srihari, Hypnotist srihari (Afd), Sreehari, Sreehari dr. Also Global medical association and Global Medical Association, about a non-notable organisation that Srihari is the leader of. --bonadea contributions talk 11:17, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Another day, another iteration of the article, essentially identical. This time the account is User:Zaqwsxs and the article is Drsrihari(actor) (I'd forgotten that the original Y Srihari article talked about his acting career, because later versions have been silent about that, but it is documented in the AfD.) --bonadea contributions talk 20:25, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Yesterday, their argument was that Srihari was not notable before, but is now. (note the signature, by the way. That's the user name of one of the socks from last year.) Today, they are claiming that Y Srihari is a different person from the one in the most recent version of Sreehari as well as Drsrihari(actor); that is a preposterous claim not only if you look at the deleted articles, but the evidence that it's the same guy is there in the original AfD unless there were two actors by the same name in the same film. I am somewhat tempted to ask for a community ban because it frankly pisses me off to see somebody disrupt this place for their own gain. I refuse to believe that the guy is stupid, which means that he is aware of bending the truth quite a lot. --bonadea contributions talk 17:05, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Duck. Bonadeaphone5 created Tractor for cultivation, which was tagged speedy A10. 2 minutes later, Bonadea3 adds a nonsense edit. Bonadea3 and Bonadea5 then post to the talk page repeatedly with each others' signatures. Evidently meant to impersonate longtime editor User:Bonadea.

I would like to add User:Hypertension1 to this SPI. They are already blocked as a sock of another editor (User:Anxiety100), and the suspect edits are all deleted so I cannot add diffs here, but in brief they created (as their first and almost their only edits) three or four SPIs targetting me and another long-term editor, listing Bonadeaeaea and a few other newly created accounts with user names very similar to mine as the socks. I personally suspect a connection to User:Nsmutte, partly because I'm one of the targets and partly because the writing style is rather distinctive. --bonadea contributions talk 22:10, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Suspected sock creates Dr sreehari hypnotist, which soon gets XFD'd. They remove the AFD tag, but revert, and the suspected master soon does it again. Both are SPAs for the article, too. The suspected master also is !voting on the AFD, and while they seem to have created a (now-deleted) article, too, they've been around since July 2015 with little activity that I can see. Also, compare these extremely similar edits: Suspected master vs. suspected sock. I would appreciate if you could compare these accounts and look for sleepers. GABHello! 20:08, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Gladly. The master has been promoting the same exact person, albeit with different spelling, who is some sort of hypnotherapist; the alleged "Global Medical Association" is another big area of his. The same thing is in the article listed above. Only a couple of the diffs I can see are linked: but previous SPIs have established this incessant behavioral trait, with articles such as Y.

Created a phony SPI case against, complaining about 3RR. As a look through the archive shows, Nsmutte has harassed Bonadea very persistently, and they like making spurious ANEW reports.

 * I'm wondering the same thing. I'm not sure how many hoax/attack SPIs have been created at this point - I did not see any of the ones created this weekend, but I've tagged three different ones for deletion today... One of them had a good-faith comment from an editor who presumably did not know any of the background, simply informing the SPI creator that Bonadeaphone is a legitimate alternate account, which then resulted in this. It's all very tiresome indeed and it's frustrating that so much time is wasted on this troll. --bonadea contributions talk 10:25, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

First, a range block as large as 117.* is never going to happen here. Second, the master uses many, many ranges, and it would require constant small range blocks, which is a nightmare in and of itself. I don't see me or any other CheckUser at this point having the stomach for it. Given how many accounts and IPs I've blocked recently, as well as deleting bogus SPIs, I assure you it's not something I like, either.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:11, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

This account has already been blocked as a blatant DUCK. This request serves two purposes.
 * 1) Please check for sleepers. Nsmutte has been keeping to IPs recently, so I'm worried this may herald a return to registered accounts. I know it's unlikely you'll find anything, but please have a quick look?
 * 2) Please provide me with a definitive list of Nsmutte's usual IP ranges (the recent ones, at any rate). I already know about 117.192.0.0/10, but sometimes they use others and this information would be important in my maintenance of (private) edit filters. This could be provided privately to me if you wish and then it would only be available to sysops and EFMs. I belive this falls within the spirit (although not the explicit letter) of WP:CheckUser point 4.

They seem to have picked an article at random to nominate for AfD this time, but the pattern is the same: new editor nominates a clearly notable subject (in this case it's a dab page) with confused rationale, and an IP (in the 117. range) removes the AfD tag after a while bonadea contributions talk 15:12, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Creating DR SREEHARI, a possible repost of Articles for deletion/Y. Srihari - certainly seems to be the same subject, an Indian hypnotist, and seems very dubiously sourced (I know the Guinness Book of Records has dropped a lot of its old "eat the most pies" type records for health and safety reasons; them encouraging a record for "Most Persons Anesthetized At A Time" seems highly unlikely).

This is one of the strangest cases I've filed. A little sockfarm has converged around INDIAN RECORD HOLDERS, the usual sock target. They then nominated the article for deletion, then withdrew it. This even mentions "Dr Sreehari." GABgab 00:41, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.''


 * Creating pages about Indian records, filing various pages he has created for AfD, withdrawing the AfD, and editing about Sreehari are pretty typical instances of Nsmutte editing. The records pages have been part of his MO almost from the start (eg List of indian record holders and List of Indian record holders individual - as you say, the usual sock target), and screwing around with AfDs is something he has also done periodically - it seems to be done in order to trick good faith editors into posting to the page, which means that Nsmutte can pretend to believe that the articles and other pages he creates have supporters. I wish his AfDs were deleted per WP:BAN since he only uses them to waste people's time, but then again, devoting time to that kind of cleanup would also be a waste, I suppose (even if it were always uncontroversial maintenance to delete them, which I suspect it wouldn't be, not when other people have weighed in). --bonadea contributions talk 06:44, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Users behavior on this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julio_Sadorra is consistent with behaviors well established by Nsmutte. Nsmutte also seems to have a particular like for nominating User:CatcherStorm's pages for deletion. The language used by the user here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Julio_Sadorra is also consistent with edits by Nsmutte. I suspect that this person has got to Julio Sadorra via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/S._Dallas_Dance_(2nd_nomination) and is again "dicking" about with deletion of articles.

There's been a rash of weird malformed AfDs recently, and I'm reluctant to pin all of them on Nsmutte but I think Articles for deletion/Newman, which was created and edited and closed and generally played around with by Jamepriority and Kiranrathods, is one of Nsm's. The reason being this edit by Jamepriority; I don't want to be too explicit per WP:BEANS but anybody who is familiar with Nsm should see what I mean. As for Jameswarnoor, this looks very much like Nsm again. bonadea contributions talk 21:26, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' I figured these two were socks, I just didn't know who.

Seems to be following all the normal patterns of these socks. IP edited (as an obvious block evasion, compare to confirmed sock's )  then  with nonsense !vote, including other editors names like previous socks. Also suspicious is that this was the first edit immediately after registering (and creation of their userpage.) Chrissymad  ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  03:49, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

This is more of the same sort of harassment BethNaught has been subject to for months. I think a very-wide rangeblock is called for. Surely we care enough about our volunteers to risk losing a handful of useful IP edits. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 05:17, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Account has been blocked by Opabinia regalis. While I wish rangeblocks were possible, and I have placed them in the past, Nsmutte currently has access to over 10 known ranges and likely more (admins can see my list at Special:AbuseFilter/756). This includes ranges of up to size /10. So I think rangeblocks are infeasible here. Thanks for the concern though. BethNaught (talk) 08:28, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

I'm not sure I see it, to be honest. Somebody's sock to be sure, but Nsmutte's writing style is very different. The account is already blocked so there is no urgency, but I don't think it should be logged as a nsmutte sock (unless admins can see something I can't). --bonadea contributions talk 22:20, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

 * The reactivations are fishy but this is not Nsmutte. The accounts were attempting to add or change facts which (I can't read Swedish) appear to be true and cited. Maybe the filter needs turning off, it was always based on heuristics. BethNaught (talk) 16:43, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Something going on here but I can't quite work it out. This will have to rely on CU, as, ironically, behavioural evidence isn't just similar, it's identical (although in the converse, of course). We have User:KDNO1 (created 17 July 2018 at 10:58) and User:Carrymaekr  (created three minutes later)—two accounts created within minutes of each other, same number of edits to the same article(s). They immediately began reverting each other at Meeli Kõiva: clearly neither of them are as new as they suggest, as Carrymaekr is aware of 3RR on their sixth edit, while KDNO1 is citing WP:BANREVERT on their seventh. I don't know if this is some kind of good cop / bad cop thing for the lulz, but there doesn't seem to be a history of socking at the article (recently, anyway). many thanks in advance for any light that can be cast upon these murky waters. —SerialNumber54129 paranoia / cheap sh*t room 11:57, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
