Realphi was blocked in part for edit warring on religious articles, particularly those related to Jainism. Kundakundakunda seems to have picked up where Realphi left off upon being blocked.
 * In particular Kundakundakunda recreates "Universalizing religion" as a nearly verbatim copy of the version created by Realphi and restored by another sock of Realphi (User:Commonsense9)
 * Kundakundakunda also restores edits to Skandha (Jainism), which again are almost verbatim edits by Realphi.
 * All three have pushed the idea of telepathy and clairvoyance in the context of Jainism here (K), here (R) and here (A).
 * Both Kundakundakunda and Realphi have also linked to the same attack website (here (K) and here (R)) against another editor that Realphi apparently had issues with.

 * Thanks,, that looks likely to me. I've been trying to contain this user's copyvios, obstinate edit-warring and attempts to 'game' the system, and I knew there was something familiar. I should have remembered, because I had involvement with Realphi too, but the name escaped me. -- Begoon 23:57, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Looks to be done here, and I'm not sure definitively connecting to the master is needed. Closing as all accounts are blocked. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:45, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

This new account has re-created Universal religion which is almost verbatim a previously rejected version created by a previous sockpuppet (see  for example). FyzixFighter (talk) 01:35, 14 August 2019 (UTC)


 * My only argument for a CU would be based on the previous CU (from the 4 June SPI) identifying one unused sleeper. But it's probably overkill at this point, and the active socks have been easy enough to identify with WP:DUCK. --FyzixFighter (talk) 23:08, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

I'm going ahead and blocking under WP:DUCK but nothing more than that as CU was requested. Ian.thomson (talk) 01:52, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

 * I don't think CU is still required unless you really want a sleeper check, . Closing. Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 22:17, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

The new sock shares the high interest in Jainism, religion, and philosophy. Most of the similarity can be seen with the edits by the known sock User:Kundakundakunda. For example, edit warring on Philosophy over the inclusion of Jainism and Buddhism philosophies under the subheading of Indian philosophies here and here. In these examples, the edit summaries are nearly identical. At ethnic religion, they reinstate edits putting Buddhism and Jainism in the list of universal religion - by KundaKundaKunda:, ; by Wikiuser2090:. I find it also interesting that they push the use of this source for the categorization of Jainism (as here) which I have only ever seen Realphi and socks push (see ). --FyzixFighter (talk) 00:28, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

I had this user flagged in my personal notes as a potential unidentified sock. For completeness of possible behavioral evidence, compare the unique usage of "forcasts" and, usage of "extrasensory joy"  and , and the insistence of Jainism in an example list  and. --FyzixFighter (talk) 22:54, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
