Suspected sockpuppets

All these accounts have made user sandboxes with a broken English referring to the Ranganathittu bird sanctuary as their sole contribution (some have made one or two edits, and one or two accounts added similar content to their user talk pages). Some of these sandboxes have further overlaps such as references to Wikipedia, bulleted lists, spaces before text, raw square brackets or phone numbers, and the edits tend to occur during the summer months but also in November. Note that the accounts are listed here according to the order that the search function gives for their sandboxes, not chronologically, but they go back to 2017. It is possible that is also part of this but I am not so certain. 's sandbox was created by another account, listing it as it seems unlikely to be a coincidence.

For CU purposes, these may be non-stale socks:

I am asking for CU here in part because the sheer number of accounts doing this makes me wonder if it might be meatpuppetry or something like this other than plain sockpuppetry. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:26, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Someone in another venue said that this was some sort of student project. Sorry but I don't remember who said it or where. Also, see above report. As far as I know, none of the edits affect mainspace. Finally, there's no way I can justify the time to run a check on this many accounts given the lack of damage being done. You're welcome to block any accounts you wish if you think it's warranted, but unless something changes, this should not be handled at SPI. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:29, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
