 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

The main account was blocked because it had a promotional username, and was being used to create articles on a non-notable film of the same name, along with its associated production house. User:Kismat Ki Komony was created immediately after the block. The new username is also promotional (another film title) and the user continues to create articles on non-notable subjects associated with these films.

 * DQ: I didn't make this report merely on the basis of the user having a promotional username. Rather, I'm noting that a user appears to have created another account with yet another promotional username in order to get around the previous block, and that both accounts appear to be using Wikipedia to promote the associated films. If this doesn't count as block evasion (due to the good faith assumptions of a soft block) then I apologize for the misinterpretation. —Psychonaut (talk) 13:44, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Just because the username is inappropriate and was blocked, doesn't mean that the editor is not allowed to edit. (one of the rare exceptions for blocks) So with that in mind, there is no socking unless you see more accounts that I don't see. -- DQ   (ʞlɐʇ)  13:04, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
