Creating another biography of "Rinku das", per previous socks last week - this time at Jr.Rinku. McGeddon (talk) 15:16, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

User:Balaji Tele has created yet another matching biography at Jr.Rinku das. Iago Qnsi (talk) 16:08, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Looks like User:Jr.Rinku d.das was also active a couple of days ago. --McGeddon (talk) 16:19, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

,, and are confirmed and blocked. The first three, Rebel Fighter, Balaji Tele, Jr.Rinku d.das are all ✅ as well, but were already blocked. Courcelles (talk) 23:28, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I've also gone to Commons and blocked all the accounts that SUL'ed over to Commons to try and stop image disruption. If more show up, please ping me to do the same thing. Courcelles (talk) 23:37, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Adding Rinku Das to Aashiqui 2 and creating a userpage with verbatim similarities to past Rinku Das infoboxes (File:Rinku.jpeg as image, "Born: Silchar, Assam, india", deadlink website "http://Www.tinkupersonact.com" instead of "http://Www.Rinkupersonact.com"). McGeddon (talk) 10:55, 3 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Also created an article at Dev Sen, with File:Rinku.jpeg in the infobox. Unclear if there's any connection with User:Dev Sen - both Rinku Das and Dev Sen seem to have been crowbarred erroneously into Indian film article crew lists in the past couple of years. --McGeddon (talk) 18:45, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Creating another mangled Bollywood biography at Sooraj Puri, illustrated with the same picture of Rinku Das used by previous socks, and the same "Born: Silchar, Assam, india" and deadlink official page in the infobox. McGeddon (talk) 14:49, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

 * There are several holes in the evidence presented above, holes I feel I can't ignore. I don't blame McGeddon, as a fair amount of it is behind administrative walls at the moment, but this needs to be remidied before we proceed. (ie. [[File:Rinku das.jpeg]] vs. [[File:Rinku.jpeg]].) Feel free to ping me when this is remidied. --  Amanda  (aka DQ) 09:32, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Linking User:Tinku South to User:Bengali Film1? Here's all I've got, from existing articles and Google caches:
 * The user page at User:Tinku South has an infobox that says "Born: Silchar, Assam, india", nationality "indian" and a deadlink URL of http://Www.tinkupersonact.com
 * A Google cache of the article created by User:Bengali Film1 at Sooraj Puri also has "Born: Silchar, Assam, india" and nationality "india" in the infobox, with the same capitalisation and wikilinking (I thought it also had a deadlink URL, but the Google cache doesn't show it)
 * The deleted article Sooraj Puri by User:Bengali Film1 opened by talking about Rinku Das instead of Sooraj Puri: "N.T.Rinku das (রিংকু দাস) is an Indian actor who predominantly works in bollywood cinema".
 * Tinku South has been adding "Rinku das (রিংকু দাস)" to film article cast lists (eg. 1)
 * Afraid I've only got my memory for the fact that the Sooraj Puri article used the same image as Tinku South's userpage. Several images have been uploaded to Commons with similar "Rinku Das" filenames and mangled licence declarations over the past couple of weeks, some of them (as I remember it) being the same photo restored under a new name after being deleted. --McGeddon (talk) 10:17, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
