Created draft on India Data Portal extremely similar to that of blocked Pramit4isb. Compare e.g. Special:Permalink/1061543117 with wikitext at Special:AbuseLog/30932562. Also Editorsdilemma added images uploaded by Pramit4isb to the article: Special:Diff/1050538774. – NJD-DE (talk) 15:40, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Just noticed another thing:
 * 08:00, 18 October 2021 Editorsdilemma's first edit
 * 12:20, 18 October 2021‎ Editorsdilemma stops editing the draft
 * 12:37, 18 October 2021‎ Pramit4isb uploads c:File:India Data Portal Homepage.png
 * 12:40, 18 October 2021‎ 45.64.226.152 adds image to the draft
 * 12:52, 18 October 2021‎ Editorsdilemma continues editing the draft.

A check at commons may be useful for the purposes of tagging. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 16:50, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
 * @Elcobbola perhaps you could help here? Although, it looks like Pramit4isb is stale on commons as well :-( -- RoySmith (talk) 19:27, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Re-creation of Draft:Anjal Prakash about a week after the previous sock was banned. Appears to be SPA as only intent is to continue effort from previous editor. Need checkuser and also looking through deletion history to see if they are working off the same draft as previous. AngusW🐶🐶F ( bark  •  sniff ) 15:08, 12 January 2022 (UTC)


 * @AngusWOOF you know, we could solve half of that problem without too much effort. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:24, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

re-creation of Draft:Anjal Prakash, looks very much like the previous one with promotional tone as editor clearly has experience creating the page. References are still mostly from the academic's own papers. Use of "Dr. Prakash" suggests COI. AngusW🐶🐶F ( bark  •  sniff ) 01:44, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Thankyou . These two versions of Draft:Anjal Prakash are basically identical, and certainly close enough that sockpuppetry seems more likely than meat-puppetry or different UPE editors, unless the text of the draft has been shared. Regardless, I'm comfortable enough to recommend: - Please block  as a suspected sockpuppet of . --Jack Frost (talk) 01:05, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
