just created Dr Ambrish Vijaykar. I recognised some of the content as being word-for-word identical to Ambrish Vijaykar which I tagged as A7/G11 a couple of weeks ago. That page was created by who was subsequently blocked for self-promotion. Hugsyrup 11:37, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

 * The draft created by the suspected sockpuppet was a copyvio and so I deleted it. I see wikicode similarities between the two drafts presented. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 12:34, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

' and ':


 * Pankajclub12 created Manish Singh (producer) in November 2019. PlanetAakash (who has been active here for two weeks) created an article on the same subject (Manish Singh (entrepreneur)) in mainspace two days after being granted autopatrolled. The new article is not identical to the previous one.
 * PlanetAakash uses a similar set of paid sources as citations (Asian Age, Deccan Chronicle, PopDiaries via YahooNews) as Pankajclub12 does in Pankaj Jaiswal (producer).
 * Possible that these are different users and they just happen to have the same client.

' and ':


 * BenJulio87 and PlanetAakash create identical articles on astronomical objects (NGC 810 and NGC 782) and they have both edited the same astronomical articles.
 * BenJulio87 edited PlanetAakash's article after it was draftified.
 * BenJulio87 and PlanetAakash  both create talk pages with   and  . That may be a coincidence with one copying the other, but few if any new users create talk pages like this.
 * BenJulio87 is also doing some obvious paid editing
 * Possible that these two are friends and PlanetAakash is just imitating the astronomical work of his colleague since they have edited the same astronomical articles less than one minute after the other.

' and ':


 * Roosegarden edited Pankajclub12's drafts, they overlap on several articles.

' and ':


 * PlanetAakash started editing two weeks after Roosegarden was blocked for UPE.
 * Roosegarden and PlanetAakash  both quickly requested autopatrolled, although PlanetAakash was encouraged to do so by a new page patroller due to the rapid creation of articles on astronomical objects.

 * Thank you ST47, this can be closed since they're not related to the previous ones. The behavior is consistent with someone mentoring a friend in how to use Wikipedia, no deceptive behavior apart from UPE. – Thjarkur (talk) 08:30, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

Incredibly similar editing patterns, along with repeatedly trying to move an article Draft:Pankaj Jaiswal (producer) from draftspace into mainspace, and making spurious improvements to it. User CarryMint claims on IRC to be a friend of Pankaj Jaiswal, but not know anything about Pankajclub12 or his socks, but the editing pattern similarity is noticeable.

 * I'm fairly convinced that and  are the same person given the significant overlap and userpage (both just "hello") but based on a -help conversation, I believe Carrymint to be a meat sock (though I'd be glad to be proven wrong!) Praxidicae (talk) 12:47, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Roosegarden and Grandbelle are ✅ to each other. Carrymint's technical data is not inconsistent with meatpuppetry but since the account is blocked, I think the distinction is academic. Best, Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 20:04, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
