Sairg was initially involved in a edit war in the page Sukaphaa. But, when his 3 edits were up, the user account Xishuang was used for the same. See Page History of Sukaphaa. These are the reverts:
 * Revert by Xishuang
 * Revert 6 by Sairg
 * Revert 5 by Sairg
 * Revert 4 by Sairg
 * Revert 3 by Sairg
 * Revert 2 Sairg
 * Revert 1 Sairg.

All these reverts were done within 48 hrs, the first 5 within 24 hrs.

I request you to kindly run a Checkuser investigation for Sairg and Xishuang. Both seem to be the same person with mutiple accounts. Both have mentioned 2000 as their year of birth, Animism as their religion and have the same areas of editing i.e. Ahom kings and Ahom people. Moreover, Sairg has "Xishuangbanna" as one of his interests.Have a look here. All these hint to the fact that both are the same user.

The user Sairg was repeatedly warned in the page edits, talk page by multiple users to stop this reverts and discuss properly. But he instead used another of his accounts to accomplish his task. There is an ongoing Edit waring investigation against the user. Check Barbariankiller456 (talk) 13:45, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

I request you to kindly run a Checkuser investigation for Sairg and ShangNam. Both seem to be the same person with mutiple accounts. The account withh the username ShangNam was created a month after the previous accounts Sairg, Xishuang, Xishuangsai, Tai Ahom Revival Fraternity were blocked. All these accounts have the same areas of editing i.e. Ahom kings and Ahom people with the same POV push. All these users seem to be involved in the same edit war with the user named Chaipau which seems to be merely a continuation of the edits made by the banned users. Have a look here ShangNam's arguements with Chaipau, Banned user Sairg's similar arguements. All the users are also involved in removing sourced info from the Sukapha page. Look here:, ,. These hint to the fact that both are the same user. 2409:4065:406:C11D:CF6:E7A6:2BF0:8BF6 (talk) 20:18, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

This is a procedural filing to note for the archives that সম্পাদক খিলঞ্জীয়া has been blocked as an obvious sockpuppet of Sairg. Between behavioral similarities and articles edited I have no doubt.

These are all fake allegations. I'll keep checking your activities mr. Chaipau. You'll be blocked very soon. I don't have right to complain to Arbcom otherwise you might have been blocked. You are trying to WP:OWN the pages. These source are well known to everybody. Why are you trying to remove cited text ? You've no right to remove reliable source. You can't even win a argument with me. So, You try to revert my edits and complain anyone.

 * My understanding about false allegations by Austronesier. It is personal attack and target on editors who add cited text from reliable source. Since he lack any reliable source for any of his claim therefore he accuse other editors of sock puppetry and usual verbose rants. He and his friend aren't to contribute in that page. They only remove cited text from reliable source - https://sigma.toolforge.org/usersearch.py?name=Austronesier&page=Boro_people&server=enwiki&max= and https://sigma.toolforge.org/usersearch.py?name=Chaipau&page=Boro_people&server=enwiki&max= 2409:4065:E8E:2335:95AE:6DCB:9836:3953 (talk) 10:23, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

I am not sure this user even understands what WP:SOCK is and even after being made aware, continued to WP:BE, and edit war, for example in People of Assam, which had to be semi-protected.

I am unaware of any such previous users. I have not removed any material from the page. I have merely added new and proper sources, not violating any principles of Wikipedia. It seems the previous user was also involved in a similar edit war with @Chaipau, but his edits were different. My edits include creating a new section and adding new sources for previous data. I am not sure what this user @Chaipau is talking about. Some edits made by @Chaipau are disruptive, like removing an entire new section with multiple sources.Ballav saikia (talk) 17:55, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

As for editing pages on Chutia community, that is my personal interest. A person in Wikipedia is free to edit whatever he or she wants, provided there are sources cited along with it. If this user @Chaipau has a problem with my edit, he could use the talk page and sort out the matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ballav saikia (talk • contribs) 18:01, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Soon after the sock SushankaChutia was blocked, two other socks became active and that took up the cudgels on their behalf. and .  These were identified as sleepers by   and blocked as per WP:DUCK .  Since Chutia kingdom is semi-protected, the new account, created soon after, had to wait for a period before editing the article.
 * In the discussion on the kingdom extent SushankaChutia maintained that Sisi river could not be considered as a boundary of the kingdom . Ballav saikia picks up the argument on behalf of SushankaChutia.

I don't understand what this user @Chaipau is talking about. My edit is completely different from that made by the previous user. As it is evident, the previous user seems to have been deleting the content from the page. On the other hand, I have added new content, while keeping the previous one intact. Besides, I have added new material to the article as well, expanding the article to its current form.

The user Chaipau seems to not be pleased with the sourced edits as it goes against his POV. In one instance, he tried to remove sourced material. In this case, I had mentioned three references to the content on the "Rebellions" section, out of which one of the references seemed to be less reliable. But, instead of removing the problematic source, the user Chaipau tried to remove the entire section from the article, although there were clearly two more well cited sources available.. The user also had added unsourced material at one instance, which was removed later .Ballav saikia (talk) 21:41, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

Created around the time the previous sock was reported, user:Subhashishborah has started editing Template:Chutiya Dynasty to insert a name of a king that has no WP:HISTRS. This is the same POV an earlier sock pushed in the Chutia kingdom article. This user seems to be following the same pattern of sock-puppetry around the Chutia kingdom topics, only that this user is unable to edit the article yet because it is semi-protected and so has started editing Template:Chutiya Dynasty instead which is not semi-protected.

I am listing it here because Ananya Taye seems most likely to be "SashankaChutia", who is archived to Sairg. But could be either Sockpuppet_investigations/Penguinnumbers/Archive or Sockpuppet_investigations/Qwertywander/Archive. All these socks are WP:SPA and try to push a legendary account of the Chutia kingdom as history. This has been a multi-year phenomenon. These socks use IPs extensively to target other pages, and I am not listing them here, since the primary pages they target are mostly semi-protected (Chutia people, Chutia kingdom, Template:Chutiya Dynasty etc.)

The similarity with SashankaChutia is the following. There was a very long discussion on the domain of the Chutia kingdom, here. After a long discussion, SashankaChutia was identified as a sockpuppet. Ananya Taye now is pushing the same boundary that SashankaChutia was pushing for, now with a map (, etc.) and using the same arguments SashankaChutia was making. All these socks go by their own interpretations of WP:PRIMARY texts and are incapable of coming to a consensus.

 * It seems I had reported this the two IPa at ANI . Just putting it down here for the record.  Also pinging  from that thread. Chaipau (talk) 23:34, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

I am providing below evidence that Ananya Taye has the same behavior/interest patterns as the following two confirmed sockpuppets of the master Sairg and which was reported in Sockpuppet_investigations/Sairg/Archive:
 * Additional Information
 * A very keen interest to extend set down a particular boundary of the Chutia kingdom:
 * SashankaChutia:
 * Ballav saikia:
 * Ananya Taye:
 * Ananya Taye uses a different tact to set the boundary down - by using a map which is not supported by modern historians which is identical to the one SashankaChutia and Ballav saikia are arguing for. (edited) 11:26, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Ananya Taye:
 * Ananya Taye uses a different tact to set the boundary down - by using a map which is not supported by modern historians which is identical to the one SashankaChutia and Ballav saikia are arguing for. (edited) 11:26, 31 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Ananya Taye insists on using primary sources to support his claims (in this case Buranjis and others).
 * Ballav saikia:
 * SashankaChutia:
 * Anaya Taye: rejecting a secondary source on the basis of a primary source (edit summary); Using primary sources  and it was pointed out Ananya Taye just rejected the established Wikipedia policies.


 * The sockpuppet SashankaChutia had created a map, which an IP editor started pushing after SashankaChutia was banned , etc.  This is the same map that Ananya Taye uploaded into his account as "own work":.


 * I shall be happy to provide additional information if this is not sufficient. Though the Chutia kingdom article could be of interest for many editors, the sustained interest in putting down a specific boundary is a special interest of this editor.

 * Thank you for your recommendation. If SashankaChutia has gone stale, then we may try some more recent ones.  The blocking of SashankaChutia triggered a number of new accounts that were confirmed to be socks—and maybe we can CU against them.  They are:
 * - created on the same date as Ananya Taye.
 * - created on the same date as Ananya Taye.
 * - created on the same date as Ananya Taye.


 * is most familiar with this sock—unfortunately he is inactive on Wikipedia now. Pinging  in case he has some inputs here.

There were a number of attempts made by anonymous IPs in June 2021 to include the map File:Ahom territories until 1522 AD with the territories of Raja.jpg created by the confirmed sock SashankaChutia in Ahom kingdom. I reverted the last insertion with the edit summary that this was being removed on the basis of WP:BE, on 23 June 2021. On that same day and within a few hours, Ananya Taye uploaded the same map as "own work", but with the date backdated to 1 May 2021.
 * Additional connections between Ananya Taye and SashankChutia

I am not adding the IP editors to checkuser request. Please advise whether I should,. Thanks!

Requesting additional check user for: This is a new user account which that seems to follow the pattern of user:Ananya Taye and other socks listed in the lists above. Pinging for visibility. Chaipau (talk) 13:58, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Additional Checkuser request


 * What in particular makes you think Simolke2 is a sock of Sairg? I'm not seeing any editing overlap with recent socks, and on a more technical note, all the other socks I looked at use mobile, but Simolke2 never does.  Can you supply some specific diffs that demonstrate socking? -- RoySmith (talk) 14:14, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your due diligence on Simolke2. This user is following the same pattern established by previous socks: SashankaChutia, Ballavsaikia; and the user we are interested here Ananya Taye.
 * Ananya Taye fell silent around the time this SPI was launched: Special:Contributions/Ananya_Taye; and the new user became active around the same time: Special:Contributions/Simolke2.
 * The users and socks have very similar user pages: Simolke2, Ananya Taye , SashankaChutia , Ballav Saikia , Subhashish Bora , JojoRabbitParadise , etc.
 * Since the main articles of target Chutia kingdom and Chutia people are semi-protected, these accounts spend some time minor-editing other articles till they become eligible for editing these article. In this case, Simolke2 started with some technical edits which showed that the new user is familiar with the technical aspects of Wikipedia (,, , , etc.) but not very familiar with the subjects per se. But the first edit where the user showed special knowledge was here:.
 * Usually, this is followed by the same pattern (WP:PRIMARY, WP:HEAR, WP:POINT etc). The user was originally banned for sockpuppetry while edit warring using multiple accounts; but subsequent behavior has been based on using one account at a time for targeting these two article till it is discovered as a sock when a new account is created.  The user is trying hard to lose the association with these socks, but the mature behavioral issues are a dead giveaway.
 * Please let me know if you would like me to expand on anything in particular.

 * I am afraid I was not clear. Ananya Taye should not be matched against Sairg, but with SashankaChutia, Subhashish Bora, and Ballavsaikia.  Chaipau (talk) 12:36, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

 * You're going to need to give more specific evidence. This is a big complicated case, and you've noted they could be any of three possible masters.  That makes it very difficult to do any useful analysis.  Actually, I'm inclined to close this with no action taken; looking at the technical indicators like timecards and editing clients used, I'm willing to believe that Homogenie and Ananya Taye might be the same person, but ​neither look anything like Sarig.  The pages being edited here are the kinds of topics which draw great interest, so it's not surprising that there could be several people with similar points of view. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:44, 30 August 2021 (UTC)


 * - Thank you for the detailed update.  That ananya and sashanka uploaded essentially identical maps (File:Ahom kingdom Map(1522AD).jpg and File:Ahom territories until 1522 AD with the territories of Raja.jpg, both labeled "own work") on commons is a pretty good clue.  Unfortunately, sashanka is stale on enwiki, but if we've got a CU who also has rights on commons, they're both active there.  In any case, there's sufficient overlap between ananya and homogenie ( or ), that it's likely those two are socks.  Another clue is that both accounts were created a week apart, before either ever edited  and Ananys's first edit was to complain about "Vandalsim and disruptive editing" which seems a bit WP:PRECOCIOUS.  On the other hand, I see a few differences in diction and grammar between them that I have my doubts.  CU should be able to tell. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:01, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

 * I took another good look at and  and can't convince myself that they're the same person as each other, let alone Sairg.  It certainly possible, based largely on editing overlap and a few other more technical indicators, but the CU results aren't enough to get me to where I feel comfortable with a block.  I made no effort to compare them to either Sockpuppet_investigations/Penguinnumbers or Sockpuppet_investigations/Qwertywander. If you are convinced they're one of those, please open a new report on one of those cases and provide strong evidence (i.e. diffs) to back that up.  If another clerk wants to take a whack at this, I have no objection to somebody reopening this and working on it more, but for now I'm going to mark it closed. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:31, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
