Suspected sockpuppets



 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

All have been here for years (as far as 2012) and have ties to one article, Casagrand (company), and each have consistent activities in business articles including loads of content, therefore suspicious. For example, one user started the article, subsequent ones came and then one added images. I'm also not sure if Hemalatha1010 is involved since Jvchawla and that one worked together at one article too, where the former initiated the article and the second opposed the advertising-removal. To finally add, Jvchawla has resorted to adding images too, who I'll add has continued advertising since their last warning in December. There's especially strong ties between Jvchawla and EditorRutt, see Articles for deletion/Sudarshan Venu. Considering an AfD is also involved and this goes back years, a Sleepers Check is requested.

 * See Articles for deletion/Sudarshan Venu, which I recently closed.  EditorRutt, Jvchawla, Shiprajohar, and Sund90 all participated.  They were virtually the only accounts arguing to keep, and all gave arguments written in a very similar style.  -- RoySmith (talk) 13:27, 1 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Endorse for same reasons. Apparently, the sock master is tired of those accounts, else they would have been safe from a sleeper sweep. L3X1 (distænt write)   )evidence(  18:23, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * New account in SewageMessiah to see whether it's related somehow; some of the relevant articles seem to have likely involved the hiring client and the confirmed socks are simply the hired employees, but I wanted to mention it in case something comes out (especially since this one account has a few other similarities).

 * Agg.gautam and Vm.thomas are stale. Jvchawla is the exact same person as Shiprajohar...diff 1, diff 2 (see edit summaries). Sund90 is somebody's sleeper that decided to wake up for that AfD.

Hemalatha1010 may be a meat but we will need to sort out meats from socks in this COI sock farm. , are you familiar with the group named in this edit? Clearly we have paid editors here.

to identify between socks & meats and locate other accounts.

 * Jvchawla and EditorRutt are ✅ to each other.
 * These accounts are ✅ to each other and ✅ from Jvchawla:


 * You'll have to do some behavioral sorting here but there are a bunch of accounts that are ✅ from each other and the other two groups:


 * Shiprajohar and Hemalatha1010 are {{likely)) to each other and {{possilikely}} to these groups.
 * Sund90 is {{possible}} to these groups but there's a significant technical difference.
 * Agg.gautam, Vm.thomas, and Sudharshan Venu are {{staleIP}}.
 * Confirmed accounts blocked pending tags, as I'm not totally convinced Jvchawla is the real master here. Scuba gear may be necessary for a deep dive. Katietalk 02:33, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I blocked likely socks. I don't see strong behavioral connection to the second group, so I didn't block those accounts. Moved to Rajagopalvk, the oldest account. Closing.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  08:12, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
