The previous account has an extensive history of making hoax like articles and copyright violations about airports and transportation venues around Dhuri. Less than four months later, GunmanSilinger started Mimsa International Airport as one of their 3 edits, which is at AfD on suspicion of being a hoax article, and the image up for deletion on Commons as a copyright violation. And apparently Dhuri Metro, an article created by Ravikiran singh and then recreated by Ravi Khangura after being deleted as a hoax, used to link to Mimsa International Airport. Finally, the IP address in this edit added mentions of both "mimsa airport" and of Rajomajra Airport (another deleted hoax by the master it seems), indicating that it may be part of the same club. Pinging as the previous handler of this cluster. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 15:12, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

New account and an obvious duck, adding fake airport and metro information about Dhuri in articles and related templates (see edit history). GermanJoe (talk) 07:56, 21 February 2016 (UTC) GermanJoe (talk) 07:56, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Already blocked for hoaxing and block-evasion; now tagged as a WP:DUCK. Marking for close as I don't think a CU is worth while: all previous socks have edited within a day of creation, so sleepers seem unlikely. JohnCD (talk) 15:53, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Obvious ducks. See edits to Talk:Dhuri and Template:Rapid transit in India for some evidence. Dhuri-related traffic articles, upload of fake images to Commons to support hoaxes. GermanJoe (talk) 12:23, 24 February 2016 (UTC) GermanJoe (talk) 12:23, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Added 1 more (Transuy) - new account with same MO. GermanJoe (talk) 12:44, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
 * As of yesterday, the user is still "contributing" here (and on Commons) with nonsensical additions and uploads. GermanJoe (talk) 11:45, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

All blocked and tagged per WP:DUCK. Each of these accounts was created only minutes before first editing, so I see no point checking for sleepers. We'll just have to play whack-a-mole till he gets bored. JohnCD (talk) 17:34, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
