I blocked Prince Of Roblox indefinitely because they kept making boneheaded mistakes like changing "and" to ampersands (&) and ignoring WP:SURNAME to instead refer to article subjects by their first names. Some of their contributions were constructive, but they are apparently inflexible about sticking to these problematic changes.


 * Only 2 intersections between the two, but OGGY has only made 7 edits.
 * Here we see him expanding a cast list, which was also something he did often, adding extra information about the characters. But we also see the use of needless ampersands in the Anna Mathew character description. You see similar edits here by Roblox if you scroll down.
 * Here Roblox insists upon using the subject's first name. Here we see OGGY Official using full names and converting surnames to first names. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:44, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Adding non-notable relatives to the infobox
 * Using the 'known for' info box parameter to claim that people are known for being the father of their children

 * "Using the 'known for' info box parameter to claim that people are known for being the father of their children" That's a good note. I forgot about that one, although I did notice it. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:42, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Just noticed that they're doing the same thing where they add unnecessary leading zeros to dates as well, e.g. using 01 for January, and doing the same overlinking you note in the block message e.g. linking India in the infobox. I'm convinced that these must be the same person, though I'm confused about the timing of the account creation. 192.76.8.81 (talk) 23:00, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

 * This is a little strange. Chaharia is DUCKy to Prince of Roblox and basically reinstated another sock's reverted edits, but one is using the mobile web editor, one is using the iOS app, and one is using the Android app (which explains the "different UA" finding). My feeling is that this is multiple people working together rather than one person. Regardless, they're working toward the same end, so I've Chaharia as suspected. Closing.

I blocked Prince Of Roblox for being incompetent. While some aspects of his edits included improvements, he made boneheaded mistakes and messed other things up. For instance these look constructive, until you notice the needless leading zero in the prose dates. As subsequent socks showed up, it became pretty clear retrospectively that he was engaging in covert vandalism. For instance, these changes from Patrick Spellbuog are in the same area. Note the leading zero in the prose dates. Note also that this time he deliberately botches the date in the birth date and age template. I say that, because in this article the subject is said to have died at 51, but new sock has him dead at 45. I've blocked some of the others for the same thing. Niharika Chaharia did the same stuff here. Anyway, yes, it's ducky, but since this appears to be a coordinated campaign to disrupt the encyclopedia, I'm curious if there are any sleepers or related accounts that are being disruptive in different ways.

 * - based on the notes in the SPI archive, we've compared Niharika Chaharia to Prince of Roblox (Oshwah said, my take was that they were either using multiple devices or two people working together) but have not CU'd the other accounts, plus Little Prince of Hamelin and Patrick Spellbuog have been blocked since the last SPI. Please compare Prince of Roblox, OGGY Official, Little Prince of Hamelin, and Patrick Spellbuog to each other. If practical, please also perform a sleeper check, but based on Oshwah's notes I suspect a sleeper check will be a lot more trouble than it's worth GeneralNotability (talk) 03:50, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Could someone please do a sleeper check on Prince Of Roblox. I think I am Attracted to wiki is a good candidate based on these edits at a beloved target of Roblox's, where they flesh out cast descriptions, often with useful information along with idiocy like ampersands and miscapitalised words. In this set of edits, they install bold content for no reason. Also the lede includes non-standard content like Bollywood instead of Hindi-language, and "popular child actress", which nobody would ever include. Also in these edits they miscapitalise a few words in the cast section.

If it is the same user, they seem to have departed from the child-centric user names.

I also wonder if user is related to this group, because that was another editor I had to indef for incompetence. Their MO was a bit different, so it could be a red herring, but here we see a number of boneheaded changes, like capitalising a translation, adding "ensemble" when it's already present in the lede, changing all instances of spelled-out-numbers to numerals, hyphenating "box office", using ampersands instead of "and" and miscapitalisation. It's like they were going out of their way to do things incorrectly, which is what Roblox basically does.

Has the same shape of disruption as past Roblox socks:
 * Edits like this from Sunny Singh FAN seem like they might be constructive, until you notice the deletion of templates and misuse of bold.
 * Here from Sunny Singh Actor FAN, you see some constructive changes to grammar, but then notice deliberately incompetent things like bringing the birth date and age template out of proper formatting, miscapitalising, leading zeroes in dates, etc.

The sockpuppeteer is now resorting to IP hopping/socking to disrupt the wiki and get away rather than his traditional socks with a generic naming scheme (Actor/Film+Fan/Wiki). Gotitbro (talk) 08:01, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

 * While I agree that there are similar behaviour here as with Prince Of Roblox there simply are too many differences for me to sock block here. First of all, I want to note that we probably have two different entities reported here, the 37.211 IP located in Qatar and the 103.51 range in India. They all have issues with overlinking, especially for nationalities and do not respect WP:INFONAT as well as prefer to use, town, state, India formatting for locations. They all also edit significant amounts of articles about Indian actors. After that there aren't all that many similarities. The 5 Prince Of Roblox socks I looked at more indepth all had about 5 other quite clear patterns occuring in a large fraction of edits for several socks that I identified which all are gone from the IPs and meanwhile they've developed a few new quirks of their own. The IPs also have different nearby subject areas they edit (American actors, Indian politicians, Indian cricketeers) which very rarely happened for the confirmed socks. On top of these, there are a few other signs that makes me doubt it as well. Closing request. --Trialpears (talk) 02:49, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

There's a definite overlap between, tagged as a sock of Prince Of Roblox, and PorkAndBeerEnjoyer. JimblesCardiac removed Pakistan from Nihari, and PorkAndBeerEnjoyer removed Pakistan from Nihari. In the same edits, both reversed the order of languages in the first sentence to put Hindi before Bangladeshi. Bbb23 reverted an edit by JimblesCardiac and PorkAndBeerEnjoyer reinstated it. JimblesCardiac makes an edit changing Jammu and Kashmir from disputed territory to Indian; PorkAndBeerEnjoyer makes an edit changing Jammu and Kashmir from disputed territory to Indian. According to the editor interaction analyser, out of PorkAndBeerEnjoyer's 28 edits, 13 have been to articles edited by JimblesCardiac. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 13:43, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Hi I am not sure about the privacy issue you claimed as for proof same habit of adding Indian pov to infobox parameters also  same habit of adding Indian to all identities compare this to the account roblox:  they add Indian to nationality of famous people and also to food Nihari and Wazwan for example they also appeared a few days later after the Roblox account was blocked. As soon as Roblox edits were removed the ip swooped in to re add them under misleading edit summary. Diffs of note  it's actually very easy to see the same way of editing and restoring sock edits.

I'd like to indeed defend myself here. I'd like for you to run an IP check on me and that of the IP of user Prince Of Roblox. You'll simply find that we're not the same. I'm being randomly dragged into a completely different user's sockpuppetry, the user who accused me of being a sock doesn't mention a single edit I've made that's similar to that of Prince of Roblox, you can check both our edit histories and find out we haven't edited a single page in common.

It's a slightly different pattern of editing, in that the account does not focus on regional cuisine, but the expertise level of this newly registered account (first-ever edit already referred to policy), the pro-India POV pushing in Kashmir-related articles, as well as the continuation of Prince's warring with another banned user are strongly suggestive of a sock.

 * Looking at the history on Decline of Buddhism in the Indian subcontinent, it appears ValidYattoo looks to be the one actual sockpuppet here, given their edits have been edited by numerous other users and IPs, though creating new accounts (the Members and Linduyan accounts) to revert a sockpuppet's edits seems strange to me.

 * I might be able to make a behavioral case, or rather, the IP on my talk page can. I"ll copy and paste what they said on my talk page here since they have stated they are familiar with this master's socks. This is what the IP said on my talk page: "Hi I tried to post this on the spi page you filed but I have discovered a sleeper account of the above sock puppet  they are restoring all the edits of there old sock accounts under the guise of reverting another sock take a look at this diff for example  the original edit was made by the sock porkchopvariant (A sock of Prince of roblox) which was then reverted by another sock however the original edit was made by the Prince of Roblox sock and even though another sock shouldn't remove it this new account BomayaiyukButt is quite clearly another sock of the roblox account using wiki policy to hide and restore the edits they made with their banned accounts. I tried adding this to the spi but could not edit it please kindly add this to the list of suspected accounts. Thanks." and in a reply to that original post they said this: "Also please note the account is also editing the same articles as ValidYattoo  on Purdah and a smoking gun  a food related article with a pro Indian pov where both accounts are active this is typical edit patterns of Roblox socks."

 * I had a quick look (because these edit summaries are just really sus) and there are things to see, but I'm not experienced enough with this account. Valid is a perfect match with another account, not listed here, and they are editing the same articles. But the other two geolocate elsewhere and don't seem to have alternate accounts. I think it's best if a CU who has some experience with this Prince has a look at Valid, in terms of ranges and edit behavior, but leave the other two out. Drmies (talk) 00:59, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
 * OK, now that BomaiyukBatt is mentioned I can say that that's the one that's identical with Valid., , if you can link those to earlier socks (y'all commented on 10 February), it's a done deal. If not, maybe or User:Yoshi24517 (mobile) can make a behavioral case. Drmies (talk) 17:01, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

 * - There are things about this case that trouble me. At first glance, it seems like an obvious duck, similar usernames, similar userpages, overlap in some topics, and both accounts created on the same day. But it seems like the sock is being used for less contentious edits and the master for more so. The master uses more edit summaries than the sock and more descriptive. The master uses the mobile web platform occasionally, but the sock does not. The word chakbast has a meaning in Sanskrit that may be the reason why the usernames are similar, and Mihirakula is an actual historical figure. At the same time, I don't think these users/accounts are as new they appear to be. I am therefore requesting a CU to confirm and, if it turns out that they are socks, to make sure there are no other accounts. Bbb23 (talk) 14:54, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

 * ( original case name)

New single purpose account created few days after the previous block last week. As of now, they're pov pushing on newer/distinct set of articles or using their registered account to restore reverted edits made previously by IPs or other unrelated blocked accounts. Apart from regional cuisine/Kashmir related topics, the recent batch of socks had shown a strong interest in historical articles with a shared history with India/Pakistan or Buddhism/Hinduism (which this new account focuses on).

Many IPs/blocked accounts were adding "Shaivism/Brahmanical/Hindu" to historical articles, often removing/downplaying Buddhism. Now this new account shows up to restore those IP/other blocked account edits with misrepresented references wherever they got reverted. Very similar interest to previous registered Roblox socks (for e.g [])

1). On the Kushan Empire article (another article they previously had made similar unsourced edits to []), they again misrepresent sources by changing the words "may have been" to "WERE followers of the Shavite sect of Hinduism" [] after someone modified it. Similar thing a previous Roblox sock had done before on the Mihirakula article []

2). On the University of ancient Taxila article, here's an example of IP User:103.81.213.168 replacing Buddhism with "Brahmanical" without any sources for which they got reverted, then User:Daayush comes along to restore it with a misrepresented source []. They do the same thing with the Kanishka article by restoring [] an edit [] originally made by IP User:42.111.126.53. (also, they had already made a non controversial edit to this article with their previous registered account before all this [])

3). On Ashoka, they use their registered account to restore the same edit [] reverted multiple times. Added repeatedly in the last few months by these IP's [], [], [], []. Most of the time by IP User:103.81.213.164, a range similar to the second article listed here. A registered account (currently blocked for disruptive editing) User:Rowlatt11 had made the same additions [] (probably related in some way to this sockfarm)

4). Lastly, on the Chandragupta I, this user restored an edit (adding religion to infobox) [] originally added [] by another unrelated blocked account User:Avik 0095. Uzek (talk) 16:28, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Wow so many baseless arguments and unnecessarily trying to find connection. Looks like I have to give explanation for every edit.
 * 1. The kushan edit was done against a user who edited that part of a article without any source.All I did was reverted that edit.If you notice the article is very same before that user made his edit. I haven't done single change there.
 * 2.Again, if you read the history of the article there was one user who omitted the brahmaincal part and added buddhist there. It was originally written brahmaincal there only. All I did was reverted that part . Some users challenged me there so I used the sources inside the given article.
 * the kanishka part is backed with proper source. You could go there and check it properly.
 * 3. 103.81.213.168 is myself only. I don't know about any other users there.
 * I don't get what's your argument here actually is. All I'm defending the religion part there which is properly backed by sources. from the  different users who are completely omitting it out.
 * 4. What's the even the connection between the blocked account and the edit. The information in the edit is completely true . It is universally accepted by all the historians all of the guptas were hindus.I just added the information which is true.
 * Honestly all of your arguments are completely shallow with no proper evidence and just trying to find meaningless connection between the edits Daayush (talk) 16:57, 29 March 2023 (UTC)


 * So, you confirm 103.81.213.168 (an IP from which you made edits on the University of Taxila article) is you? You say the opposite thing here (along with claiming some other IP being you) []. This confirms socking from a multitude of different IPs. Everything else in your reply is just denialism Uzek (talk) 20:05, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
 * As I said both the 1st and 2nd points is just me reverting back to its orginal form .I hadn't done single change there. 3 and 4 are proper information with backed sources. Yes that user ID is me only, i uses it when my phone is dead. Neither I have done with any vandalism there.( You could go ahead and check it's history)
 * There is no denialism anywhere. If you actually thoroughly checked the history of the articles without cherrypicking half information, it would be far better than you trying to act like a detective Daayush (talk) 04:31, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Extremely strange editing pattern of this decade of sleeper account. Since atleast half of their recent "sock reversions" are actually WP:PROXYING on behalf of this case's controversial edits 1 2 3 under the guise of reverting another sock 1 2 3, I'm reporting them here and requesting checkuser as I don't know where to place them under. Don't know if this is possible but could be a compromised account being used by the sock of Prince of Roblox.

The account has barely made 150+ edits in their lifetime, usually for voting/ influencing consensus based discussions, highly likely this is a sockpuppet of an active user who knows their way around Wikipedia, if not related to this case. Also, weird how they barely use Wikipedia and keep track of socks of 2 different cases. They've never reverted socks before and neither have they ever edited the effected articles.

Another weekly batch of socks just started showing up with the same editing pattern.

1). Compare Sock 1 edits . Though this vandal account needs a block without a check anyway since the earlier edits of theirs was to defend "killing of Pakistani terrorist children" by "Taliban freedom fighters"

2). Sock 2

3). Sock 3 User:PakGaming

4). Sock 4 User:Nohrmark

Also, noting how some of these accounts were created around a month ago and started getting active just now, a deep sleeper check is necessary for other potential accounts. Uzek (talk) 02:55, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

 * At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.

All these accounts are a week old and are editing the same articles right where the previous blocked sock ArmChairHistoryEnthusiast left off on topics related to Pakistan/Kashmir

Check for example Sock 1 at History of Sindh, sock 2 at Makran   and sock 3 at

Additionally, the usual obsession with removing mention of other associated cuisines (Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indian subcontinent etc) and replacing them with the exclusive term "India" on food articles, spamming bios of people with unsourced ethnicity related categories (Kashmiris, Kashmiri Pandits), Kiu99 (talk) 13:02, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

Edits by each person is made on same articles and talk pages. Between these three persons, about 25 same articles have been edited as per the interaction tool.

RogerYg made his edit on the first day of creating this account on to Articles for deletion/Sengol and quite familiar with using reference templates on first edit itself.

Reverting edits on article List of bus killings during Punjab insurgency, Suthasianhistorian8 and RogerYg

Creating sentence in same manner starting with "According to". 

Both like to use talkquote in talk page discussion and follow same layout. 

Same concern over BLP policies and WP:DUE  and grammar fixes. Suthasianhistorian8 and RogerYg began same interest over Hamas-Israel conflict debate around same time by Suthasianhistorian8 adding a flag of Israel on his page after debate with another user.. Both Suthasianhistorian8 and RogerYg have invested time in talk page discussion of Hardeep Singh Nijjar even on same topics

Use of "Contentious" in description 

Lucidity of edits between Prince of Roblox socks; RogerYg and Suthasianhistorian such as use of NYT (short form of New York Times) in description from account Sumsshire, an old sock of Suthasianhistorian8. 

Wikivoice

Taking various source names in description Wrythemann

On Article Sengol, Wrythemann

Mention of Misrepresentation of Source. Observer1989

All have same topic in common "Persecution", Persecution of Christians, Hindus and Jews 

Hardeep Singh Nijjar talk page where Wrythemann and RogerYg have discussion on same topic with former agreeing with latter against another user Neutrality.  talk page of Courcelles, IP identifies sock of Prince of Roblox without pinging Suthasianhistorian8.  Suthasianhistorian8 somehow finds out about the complaint and replies

, as someone who has been reporting socks of this SPI for several months, I can say that the accounts tagged as a Prince Of Roblox sock mentioned above by another filer (User:Wrythemann and User:NeutralClaims) dont look like any Prince Of Roblox sock I ever saw and I suspect they got tangled into this SPI after this report. I suspect the correct SPI for this sock farm would be https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/NebulaOblongata (who also got tagged recently as socks of this SPI). And this group is on a different continent than traditional Roblox socks. Would another CU be possibly done to split them off to their own case page?
