 * Suspected sockpuppets

All of these accounts are editing just articles about places in Osmanabad district, Maharashtra, India. All of these accounts add an external link to a business directory search engine (www.dharashiv.com) for Osmanabad. These accounts started this activity on 24 March with an edit to the Osmanabad article here. The most recent of these edits was by Baba.Deshmukh on 26 March here. The list of article affected includes:
 * Bhoom Tahsil diff1 diff2,
 * Osmanabad diff,
 * Osmanabad Airport diff,
 * Osmanabad district diff,
 * Osmanabad railway station diff,
 * Osmanabad Tahsil diff,
 * Kalamb, Osmanabad diff,
 * Kallamb diff,
 * Lohara Tahsil diff,
 * Murum, Osmanabad diff,
 * Paranda diff,
 * Tuljapur diff1 diff2,
 * Tuljapur Tahsil diff1 diff2 diff3,
 * Umarga diff,
 * Umarga Tahsil diff1 diff2 diff3, and
 * Washi Tahsil diff.

At several articles the user apparently continued to add the business directory search engine link again after it had been removed. For repetitious adding see, e.g., the history of Umarga Tahsil here and the history of Tuljapur Tahsil here. The edits are disruptive because they are violative of the guidelines at WP:External links and constitute spam, and are repeated after removal. All edits have been deleted at this point. Apparently multiple accounts were used to delay apprehension of the edit pattern. Bejnar (talk) 23:11, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
