All three users engage in repeated and frequent deletion of properly referenced text on Lavasa (page history), an article about a large private construction project in India. The IP-user, who geolocates to the same part of India as the construction project, has been blocked for two weeks for repeated deletion/section blanking, with the two named user accounts taking turns removing the material while the IP-user is blocked. The named accounts have also added irrelevant promotional material to the article. I'm not asking for CheckUser attention since I know that you never link IP-addresses to named accounts, so a duck test will have to do, but IMHO the duck test shows that they walk like ducks and quack like ducks (see their edit histories).

 * I've blocked the sock account indefinitely and the master account for a week. However, that "controversy" section looks a bit like a violation of undue weight. Closing. Reaper Eternal (talk) 15:22, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

The sock master and two socks were blocked yesterday, but a new sock (or semi-new since that IP has made the same edits a couple of times about a month ago) showed up today, making the exact same edits to Lavasa. The new sock not only walks like a duck and quacks like a duck but also geolocates to the same part of India as the previous IP sock. Thomas.W (talk) 07:17, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

A newly created single-purpose account that repeatedly adds the same type of promotional material to Lavasa as sock master Pongsong and banned sock Gabbar350cc. Thomas.W (talk) 12:39, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
