POV pushing "Awadhiya" caste in the article. . Notice the similar user names. Known for disruptive edit, edit wars and POV edits on the Awadhiya (caste) article before it was merged to the Kurmi article as per discussion at WP:INB. See history. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 19:43, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

 * The edits on NikhilPatelReal stopped on August 25, and the Nitin Patel Suryavanshi account was created on September 5. This very well may be the same user, and the evidence makes it likely. However, given the timeline of the edits between the accounts, no violation has occurred. The users have not edited between one another and they haven't exhibited behavior meant to evade a sanction or deceive. For all we know, the user could've lost his password and created a new account. Closing, as no action can be warranted at this time.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   02:15, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

I don't think it is a case of mere lost password as inferred in the previous SPI. Diffs,. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 15:46, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm sure that this new user is going to recreate a fork Awadhiya article, as evident from the move of the article Awadhiya→Alawadhiya here. The Awadhiya (caste) article was merged after a discussion at WP:INB Wikipedia talk:Noticeboard for India-related topics/Archive 68. I believe this should be taken care of. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 15:58, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

 * I am confident that the two socks are working together in some way, and am somewhat confident of their relationship to the master based on their specific interest in Bhumi Sena (created by the master) and general interest in Kurmi. I see some other single-edit accounts popping up around these editors as well; my suspicion is meatpuppetry with some off-wiki motivation. all as suspected. If disruption continues, page protection is probably a good choice. GeneralNotability (talk) 20:35, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Reopening because there's more going on here...give me a few minutes to look through the data.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:23, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

 * These three accounts are very, with significant technical overlap (in addition to the ducky behavioural connection that led to 's block).--  Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:40, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Ha! Those were the two single-edit accounts I had in mind., is the master unrelated, then? GeneralNotability (talk) 23:04, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I threw some protections around, but there are diverse dynamic ranges available to them and they'll certainly be back. Sigh.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 23:10, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Forgot to answer your question. The master is to the rest technically, though there are some behavioural differences as well (much lighter on the minor edit flag, for one).-- --  Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 23:17, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Based on CU findings I've unblocked the suspected master with my apologies and moved to the oldest sock. Retagged the socks appropriately, closing. GeneralNotability (talk) 00:43, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
