TheArteMisParadox was registered in October last year and his first edit was to recreate Draft:Kiranraj K in one go, made 10 edits to get his account autoconfirmed and then he moved the page to mainspace (Kiranraj K). There are some more similarities which can be provided if required. Thank you – GSS (talk |c|em ) 18:04, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

The case is. CU declined.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:16, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

I had a look at the deleted edits to Kiranraj K and whilst they could be different persons it is hard to see how TheArteMisParadox as a brand new editor could create a new article complete with similar filmography tables to the original without some sort of collusion even if the facts about the individual had been separately researched.

 * TheArteMisParadox was registered in October last year and his first edit was to create Kiranraj K in one go +2,888 bytes (very well formatted) and if you look at the old revision of these two articles and  the way they used infobox and templates etc. doesn’t it looks like created by the same person?

 * If you asked me to come down one way or the other I'd have to say that in the absence of any information to the contrary that I agree with you. However, having had a long career below decks I am fairly new to the view from the crow's nest and it is possible I mistaking clouds for dry land. I am therefore venturing a more tentative opinion than you might otherwise hope for. Ben   Mac  Dui  12:52, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I notice there is also considerable similarity with the first edit of the RohithKumarPatali sock User:Editor1153 which created Mugulu Nage as a fully formed article. Ben   Mac  Dui  13:02, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Shravanshravi indef blocked - first thing they did was recreate Kiranraj K under the title Kiranraj k, which has now been deleted. Ben  Mac  Dui  18:00, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
 * TheArteMisParadox likewise now indef blocked. Ben   Mac  Dui  18:06, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

A newly registered user, editing in the same area and recreated masters' work 777 Charlie in one go and the style of creation is very similar. His first edit was to edit Paramvah Studios and continue where the previous sock left. Thank you – GSS (talk |c|em ) 09:32, 19 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Varunbhatkt1997 was registered on February 11, three days after the previous sock added unblock request on his talk page who was blocked by . If you look at this edit he created his sandbox in one go and the use of Infobox, citation etc. is beyond my expectation from a one day user. GSS (talk |c|em ) 09:41, 19 February 2018 (UTC)


 * He also uplaoded this image in commons as own work and used at Imran Sardhariya. The image was earlier uploaded and used by the master and previous sock under the same title (see diff  and ). GSS  (talk |c|em ) 10:13, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Poojarysoorajchem's last edit was in January last month a few days before Varunbhatkt1997 was registered and editing in the same area. Poojarysoorajchem reappeared today a week after blocked Varunbhatkt1997 and recreated Katheyondu Shuruvagide a single lined article without citing any source may be to avoid similarities. GSS (talk |c|em ) 12:19, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * was registered 10 days after Varunbhatkt1997 was blocked and a day after their UTRS review was closed. His username is very similar to who was blocked by  and editing in the same area. He made his 3rd edit at Paramvah Studios where he delinked a wikilink, after I redirected their article Katheyondu Shuruvagide created by Poojarysoorajchem to Senna Hegde exactly same as Vb97 when their article 777 Charlie was deleted. He is creating the same kind of articles and if you look at articles he created it looks like created by Varunbhatkt1997 e.g. this appears to be a copy of this by Vb97.

 * Poojarysoorajchem is very to socks in the archive.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:16, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
 * looks likely to me on behavioural grounds but as this is getting persistent and smacks of UPE I wonder if a CU check and if necessary range block is in order. Ben   Mac  Dui  18:16, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Varunkanthila blocked and tagged. Ben   Mac  Dui

The suspected sockpuppet was registered 3 days after was blocked by  and a day after his unblock request was declined by  and using a mobile device since then (possibly to avoid the same IP). He is editing in the same area and recreated their deleted article 777 Charlie under 777 Charlie (film) which looks very similar to the deleted version and Editor Interaction Analyser showing a huge percentage of overlap.

 * He also from Katheyondu Shuruvagide which was earlier created by one of RKP's sockpuppet and then recreated by . Looking at the EIA TheUnbeatable has edited every article where Varunbhatkt1997 and Varunkanthila were active. GSS  (talk |c|em ) 06:28, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

The suspected user was registered a day after their previous sock was blocked and recreated their deleted articles Kotigobba 3 under Kotigobba 3 (film) and Aadi Purana under Aadi Purana (2018 film). I don't want to spill the beans, but I'll be happy to answer an email. GSS (talk |c|em ) 16:34, 1 November 2018 (UTC)


 * +Recreated Rustum (film) under Rustum (2018 film) and Mayabazar 2016 under Draft:Mayabazar 2016. Pinging who blocked their previous sock to take immediate action. GSS  (talk |c|em ) 16:46, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Nearly every single edit overlaps with ,

Also worth noting that Panchami registered within days of Hesarittilla's block. Praxidicae (talk) 18:33, 4 April 2019 (UTC)


 * In Ihe last report on this case pointed to Hesarittilla's creation of Aadi Purana which appears to have dodged G5 by the work of Mohankamakshi who, despite registering in 2011, has never edited before or since. Cabayi (talk) 09:22, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

Yet another SPA interested in Kiranraj K that was last created by this sock farm multiple times. ShramanJain was registered two months after previous socks were blocked, editing in the same area (South Indian actors) and created Draft:Kiranraj K. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 14:15, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
