 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

Seems to be creating and repeatedly recreating articles about obscure movie-related people and movies using poor, often completely irrelevant sources just as prior members of the farm did, and mis-citing as here. They're edited similar articles - such as Aparna Hoshing - and created similar ones, such as turning the Dussehra redirect into an article about a movie when the sock used (Dussehra (film) (both had WP:CRYSTAL problems.

They've also uploaded images as if they are "own work", as the sock did - compare File:Sahil rayyan.jpg with this - and the image came from a very poor WP:SPS, as happened with the sock's material on Pooja Welling etc. I can't provide links to a lot of this stuff because they've been deleted.

This edit and this one[ are likely to be them, despite locational differences, and show an early frustration with me. I know you cannot link IPs to user accounts but such frustration usually suggests prior interaction/knowledge of me. I think there are others from those two ranges but I'm off to work now.

 * Actually, I think the common link here is Aparna Hoshing. Anything to do with that person seems to attract the interest of the suspected sock, as it did for Ms Welling. They're adding copyvio etc to articles such as Angry Young Man (film) (seemingly Hoshing's latest venture), citing fancruft and ignoring WP:CRYSTAL etc, all much as Welling did. Basically, they're causing mayhem in an attempt to promote very specific films and associated actors, whether for personal or business reasons. - Sitush (talk) 18:17, 14 July 2014 (UTC)


 * And now there has been, although blocked as an impersonation account. That one should surely be checkuser-able against Pankaj1506 (who I suspect has also been editing logged out). - Sitush (talk) 16:01, 15 July 2014 (UTC)


 * , no problem with moving it to a separate report/archive for Pankaj1506. Please note you;ve got a typo in there - should be . - Sitush (talk) 19:07, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

 * - Being that all the blocked socks are, there is nothing to compare this account to. The decision will have to be made based on behavioral evidence alone. Tiptoety  talk 02:38, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

 * The socks are blocked and is currently blocked for two weeks, which I believe will inevitably lead to an indef.  Would you be amenable to having a clerk move this report to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Pankaj1506? I'm not sure whether we'll be able to dinitively tie the account to Reema Welling, and the new case name will provide a venue to investigate further instances of disruption from Pankaj1506 without the confounding staleness of the Welling case. --Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots  18:55, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks Sitush, and I've corrected the typo. Could we please move this specific report to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Pankaj1506 per my notes above? It can then be closed and archived. --Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots  19:14, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
