They have a similar editing pattern of vandalizing the article List of Indian states and union territories by Human Development Index and these article was semi-protected a couple of months ago due to vandalism and sockpuppetry by changing Kerala's HDI to false numbers (usually from 0.779 to 0.841 but other numbers may be present), changing Tripura's HDI from sourced 0.658 to the false 0.663, removing the link Punjab, India, and removing the link Puducherry (union territory), and changing the reference parameters archive-url and archive-date to archiveurl and archivedate. I have listed some examples that are suggestive of these accounts being related to each other. Some examples are listed below:
 * user Emirati LGBT Association because both of you changed the parameters archive-url and archive-date to archiveurl and archivedate respectively, changed Kerala's HDI to false numbers, removed the link to Punjab, India to the general Punjab link, changed the Tripura HDI to both the false 0.663.
 * Probably user YASHU2004 because both of you changed Tripura's HDI to 0.663.
 * User: John Q McAfee as both of you changed the parameters archive-url and archive-date to archiveurl and archivedate respectively, changed Kerala's HDI to false numbers (a general trend is changing it from the sourced 0.779 to the false 0.841)
 * User: Salma Abdallah of Somalia, again, changing Kerala's HDI to 0.841, Tripura's HDI to 0.663, changing the parameters archive-url and archive-date to archiveurl and archivedate, removing the Punjab, India link, and removing the Puducherry (union territory)
 * Strongsville Mustangs Football edit 1 and Strongsville Mustangs Football edit 2 similar edit related to this by changing Kerala's HDI.
 * User: Swedish Univeristy. Same thing, change Kerala's HDI.
 * User:Jai Jalalabad. Same reason, changed Kerala's HDI, is currently permanently blocked for sockpuppetry. Ssbbplayer (talk) 19:55, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

 * The following accounts are ✅ to each other (Group 1):
 * Andrija Dzambazovic
 * Emirati LGBT Association
 * Salma Abdallah of Somalia is to Group 1, and John Q McAfee is  to Group 1.
 * The following accounts are ✅ to each other (Group 2):
 * YASHU2004
 * Group 1 and Group 2 are ❌. Strongsville Mustangs Football, Swedish Univeristy, and Jai Jalalabad are.
 * Based on these findings, it seems to me there are two different people who are both misusing multiple accounts in a similar manner. Because of this, I will be blocking all of the accounts involved in this SPI indefinitely. The three stale accounts are already blocked, so I don't think we need to mind them. Please move this case under Salma Abdallah of Somalia, the oldest Group 1 account. Mz7 (talk) 22:27, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Done. Blablubbs | talk 22:33, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

 * I know it was a long time ago, but when you cu-blocked Strongsville Mustangs Football, Swedish Univeristy, and Jai Jalalabad, you didn't indicate who they were socks of. Should they be tagged for this case? -- RoySmith (talk) 13:17, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , if I don't indicate that, it's usually because there are disclosure matters (like, I can't link to an IP), or I know it's an LTA but I don't know the master (yet). In this case, going back through my edits of 25 September there's a bunch of related edits. See, for instance, this edit; I am pretty sure that I saw that edit and blocked immediately because of the user name (which follows the MO of at least one LTA I know, whose name I don't remember--but not the one it turned out to be), and then I ran CU because I had a strong suspicion--that's where those other accounts all come from. I haven't looked at all the others on this SPI, but this is an early edit. Does that help? Drmies (talk) 21:32, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , OK, thanks. I didn't mean to press you for details you couldn't disclose.  I'll just leave them untagged and archive this. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:01, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

 * RoySmith, not at all--it's just that I don't always remember so well, and in this case it wasn't linked to an IP. I'm sure you saw the username with your admin glasses. Anyway, it seems like Salma Abdallah etc. is very much like the ones I blocked, though obviously I won't be able to prove it--but the fancy usernames are a good indication, and Jai Jalalabad fits that pattern.
