Suspected sockpuppets

The page Osman Mir was creation-protected after the suspected master created it under 4 different titles. Now, a couple of SPAs (plus an IP) have created Osman mir. Both the suspected master and Rafik sarvaiya have made the same sort of edit (writing their name under a section):. There is also a similar level of poor English in edit summaries, which often include the editor's name:. The IP geolocates to Bhavnagar in Gujarat, which is pretty clearly logged-out editing. Notice also how all of the editors (except the master) have been active continuously on the article for a 5.5 hour stretch, where they all edit. The article has the same photo as the old version of the suspected master's userpage, and some of the content is recycled there, too. Since the alleged master has created the page enough for it to be salted, and was even blocked for disruption, I suspect they are using socks or friends to avert scrutiny and get around the salt. (CU not requested for the IP, of course.) Thank you very much. GABgab 22:17, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
