A few weeks after the page was unprotected from a "two weeks full protection", came into picture with an all out disruptive editing, by removing existing data and their sources, and by contributing controversial information without providing source. The sources that the user removed were highly authentic(Governement publications, cambridge university publication, delhi university publication, other neutral party sources from famous non-indian authors). I've provided the diffs of the vandalising edits of here:, , , (Here he had contributed highly controversial and baseless data, without any source).

had made similar disruptive edits, just as the sockmaster. Diffs:,. This User Ip reverted my edits and that of another user, back to that of. I'm certain that this user Ip is clearly a sockpuppet of, who is using the Ip(alternatively) to dominate in an edit war. Check the history page of Iyengar article.

made some earlier edits, similar to the ones made by "user:s a narasimhan"(sockmaster). Diff provided:

although, had not made exactly identical edits as the sockmaster, but the same section in the page was vandalised. Diff:. I am less certain about this User Ip.

made two vandalising edits in the Thenkalai page. Although the vandalism was not from the same "Iyengar" page, the pattern was similar, and the contents removed were the same. The section "Thenkalai Iyengar" in the Iyengar page is vandalised by the other users as mentioned above. There is also a seperate page for "Thenkalai" in wikipedia, where the contents are the same as found under the "Thenkalai Iyengar" subsection in the Iyengar page. has been vandalising the "Thenkalai" page; Diff:, and contributed a "controversial statistical data" without providing source.

- I'm adding this User Ip to the sockpuppet list newly, who again indulged in similar vandalising edits. Diff:. The user gives false accusations in his revert comments, but there is nothing wrong with the original content of the page. No abusive terms or anything. Experienced users may please check it. This User Ip had also received multiple warnings in the past ,for innappropriate edits. All these disruptive edits from various "users & Ips" happenned within a matter of few hours, in the Iyengar page. Please help by blocking the sockpuppet Ids.

- Added this user newly, to the sockpuppet list. Soon after the vandalising edits in the iyengar page, this user has immediately posted comments in the talk page, and it sounds all the same as that of "User:s a narasimhan". This is user: s a narasimhan's comments in my talk page earlier today:, while this one was posted in the Iyengar discussion page by "user:Ramanujamuni" late today. Diff:. Similar accusations on me, and they are completely disapproving of source material contents. The vandalising edits of in the same page are given here: Diffs -, , ,. I hereby feel that the registered users are using Ips alternatively to win an edit war.

, - These two Ips have also been vandalising in the same manner of late, in the vadakalai and thenkalai pages. I'm quite sure that they belong to the sockmaster mentioned above.

"User:S a narasimhan's" vandalising edits were also reverted by other experienced wiki' users in the page. But he thought that i could be using multiple Ids, and has been falsely accusing me. Evident, trolling, disruption, and edit warring from "S a narasimhan". Hari7478 (talk) 11:31, 24 June 2011 (UTC) Added some more users in the sockpuppetlist. Please check them too. Requested for another checkuser. Hari7478 (talk) 13:47, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Edit made by in the Iyengar page - Diff:, and his edit(personal attack on me) in my talk page here - Diff: Edit made by in the Iyengar page - Diff:, and the user ip's edit(personal attack on me) in my talk page here - Diff:.

Evident sockpuppetry, as the sockmaster and the User Ip(suspected sock) have made the same type of disruptive edits, with almost exact wordings, in the Iyengar page, and in my talk page. I'm also suspecting that there are many more Ips that could be connected to the sockmaster, and he is excessively ip hopping. I request the investigator to block the sockmaster, and the user ip. Although a previous case on the same user was archived before, i felt that i had not provided enough evidence last time, and had also (mistakenly) linked some unrelated users last time. But this time i'm sure about the case i'm filing here. The diffs provided show that the User Ip is an obvious sock of the named account(sockmaster). Please check it. The suspected sock had made a new edit which was very identical to that of the sockmaster, henceforth i filed this new case. Hari7478 (talk) 14:44, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
