Pushes same pro-India POV as User:Realhistorybuff here, here, and here (where the editor changed the alphabetical order to make sure India was first.) Jackiepurr then provided support for Realhistorybuff on Talk:India. Editing patterns appear similar and suspect further sockpuppetry by Realhistorybuff. 72Dino (talk) 20:35, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Wassupboy is ✅ as a sock, but you knew that already. In my view there would be too much collateral from further range blocks -, and all that. Realhistorybuff appears to be interested in only a narrow array of pages, so please kindly continue to report the socks as they appear. Perhaps the article talk page could also be semi-protected.

 * ✅ for Gunda99. No other socks are technically evident. In the previous checks on this socker, a handful of rangeblocks were lodged that are in fact doing a lot to catch Realhistorybuff (not that he has a history of extreme sock-puppetry, though I agree that his persistency is getting rather annoying). Gunda99 slipped under the radar, but for the associated address--. AGK  [&bull; ] 22:59, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Not from the usual place, but the pro-Indian/India is the best stance and China is not as good as India as well as persistent reference to Angus Maddison really quacks duck. <b style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:14px; color:#4682B4;">Elockid</b>  ( Talk ) 15:53, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
