Block evasion - puppeteer started his edit war yesterday with this edit to AltNews.in:, and escalated into edit warring, page blanking and an indefinite block. Sockpuppet Mukul Miya California has just made a near-identical first edit:. This page has had a lot of edit warring and POV pushing in recent weeks from other WP:SPAs, so I'm not 100% sure of the puppeteer account. The Mighty Glen (talk) 11:47, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Adding older account Aditya menon22: this edit, and its edit summary, are similar to the above edits, and to these edit summaries:,. If linked, then this account could be the puppeteer. Requesting CheckUser. The Mighty Glen (talk) 11:58, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

AltNews.in has now been semi-protected for two weeks, and User:Mukul Miya California has now been indef blocked. The Mighty Glen (talk) 13:25, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Worth noting that many of User:Nishant California's edits ,,,,, and most of User:Mukul Miya California's edits ,,, were attempted justifications of the actions of User:Aditya menon22. That account is one of two WP accounts mentioned in a reference in the article, a Tweet by the site owner about how the article has been vandalised:.

Duck. Nearly all contributions since account creation yesterday have been requesting edits to semi-protected AltNews.in, with 12 separate requests so far at the talk page, most of them in the last four hours. They started out as vague rants about neutrality, but when pressed for a specific edit cite, replied with same OpIndia opinion pieces as puppeteer has been repeatedly adding: ,,.
