I added some other usernames. Some of their usernames share common traits, their editing pattern is usually the same—Copy&Paste some vaguely related generic text to a random place in one of the Free/Open-Source related articles, sometimes marking it as a minor edit, not using spaces after periods and commas etc. It can be classified either as disruptive editing or vandalism, it is obviously not good-faith editing.—J.

 * , may I query the block of one of the accounts? The talk page of is on my watchlist because I explained to them the other day why I reverted their edits at Rishikesh. Their edits were in good faith, but already covered elsewhere. They do not appear to have been involved in the behavior being reported above, so I do not think they deserve to be blocked.

 * because of the huge number of near-simultaneous disruptive editors on the same articles. Please be sure to check for sleepers too.  —  Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 04:27, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I am not reporting already-blocked accounts (there are only two). If I were being absolutely precise, I would separate the accounts into different groups. However, I would also find that all the groups are between and very likely to each other. Therefore, I'm going to short-cut the process and find the following accounts ✅:

Suspected sockpuppets

The same pattern of creating a single-purpose account for one or several additions of generic, redundant, stupid or nonsensical content to a random place in a Free/Open-source related article. The same bad typography (no spaces, redundant spaces; does not apply to Neel Raibole, who, like some of the other sock puppets just randomly copies fragments from the same article they're editing), sometimes almost literally the same edit, the usernames also look similar to the others (see the archived report). Looks like obvious WP:DUCK to me.&mdash;J. M. (talk) 16:26, 21 September 2016 (UTC) J. M. (talk) 16:26, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

 * I have blocked the above socks under WP:DUCK. WP:SPAs at Free and open-source software with a word for word exact edits of each other. Given the extensive number of sleeper accounts last revealed on 4 September 2016 by this sock master, I'm recommending another CU be conducted. It's clear this sockmaster is back and creating new accounts. Mkdw talk 19:53, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * The listed accounts plus the following accounts are ✅:
 * is but . Bear in mind that these socks edit articles other than Free and open-source software.
 * Blocked the confirmed accounts.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:58, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you for checking . I've reviewed the evidence and there's nothing in common with the other accounts. As far as I can tell, none of them have edited the single article Shantibharsadiya edited. Unless the technical evidence was rock solid, I don't believe there are strong enough grounds behaviourally for a block. Marking as closed. Mkdw talk 06:27, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
