Intentions of the master are to constantly blank the article Sukirti Kandpal. The sock which was created a day after the master was also blanking the page. See articles edit history. — JudeccaXIII (talk) 06:31, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

 * - This is obvious enough to not require CU attention. Please block the sock indefinitely. A block against the master is probably not necessary as the disruption appears to have stopped and they've been inactive for longer than the block I would have recommended. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:13, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Sock -- FWIW, the master only vandalized for two days so a VOA-indefblock might have been warranted but they haven't edited after their initial 12h block so it'd be a bit unfair to slap another block on for now, as Sputnik said.   Ben · Salvidrim!   &#9993;  15:59, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Admits to being a blocked user on their talk page. Their edits to the archive of this SPI, as well as this, is pretty conclusive. bonadea contributions talk 06:29, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Kash120 is a SPA who has been restoring previous socks' edits to Shilpa Anand, with the IP stepping in to replace the BLP violating (gossip and unsourced trivia, not defamatory) text after the registered account was warned. bonadea contributions talk 05:58, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

One of the first edits by the brand new account was to ask for autoconfirmed permission; they were told to wait four days, and as soon as the account was autoconfirmed, they restored the sockpuppet edits to the semiprotected article Shilpa Anand. In the meantime they made some other edits related to Anand, including and. They have also mentioned having their IP autoblocked since "some other people using that IP were blocked". The writing is also the same - it's not only that their English is a little shaky, but there's a rather specific feature which I won't mention for WP:BEANS reasons (but I can do so if necessary, of course). bonadea contributions talk 19:24, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Exact same behaviour as ever, restoring the exact same edits. bonadea contributions talk 16:34, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

As obvious as this sock is behaviourally, maybe a CU would be useful, to see if there are any sleepers? Waiting four days and making ten minor/pointless edits to their user space and other articles seems to be their current MO, since Shilpa Anand was semi protected. --bonadea contributions talk 16:36, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

, maybe you did not have time to read the notice I put on your user talk page before you removed it. Here it is. It tells you why you may not edit Wikipedia, why all edits you make should be reverted, and what you need to do to try to have your block lifted. (In addition, the edits you keep making to Shilpa Anand make the article unsuitable for an encyclopedia, but that's actually secondary. Blocked editors may not edit, it's as simple as that.) --bonadea contributions talk 19:12, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

before take any action aganist me I would like to clear few things. User:Bonadea only has personal issue with Shilpa Anand's editors. In the page was so many wrong informations like the film bewajada police station relesead in the year 2002 but wikipedia showing 2000. I just trying to fix wrong informations. even I posted a massage on Shilpa Anand talk page about this matter but she removed my massage from Shilpa Anand Talk page and she not even let anyone edit the page. If anyone trying to edit or correct, she removing those edits too. And my account still not even used abuse way. Wait let me clear more few things I might made few edit in en wiki but I also made edit in simple en wiki too and I uploaded files too in other languages wikipedia thats why I joined commons too.

I left a massage on your talk page before you send me a massage on my talk page and you also removed my massage from you talk page.


 * Please see this revision version


 * See This Too how much edits and how many times she removed Information From Shilpa Anand

@user:bonadea stop removing my edits from wikipedia. You just trying to create edit warring and now explain me why you trying to open an SPI case on me. You can't removed my edits untill I proved as a sock and you need to read block police once again. We can use a block user edit if it is suitable or established.

Adding the exact same promotional fluff, poorly sourced and not quite coherently written, to Shilpa Anand as previous socks, starting about an hour after the article's protection was lifted. Also replicating older socks' edits to Karan Singh Grover, old sock vs this user. Quacking, I think. bonadea contributions talk 18:44, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.''

I added those info in the articles Shilpa Anand and Karan Singh Grover which are correct. Check out the article Dill Mill Gayye there those info are already added which I used in Karan Singh Grover and Shilpa Anand. Beside Dill Mill Gayye has a team on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, India-Forum and Blog. I am one of member of this team. We all working for Dill Mill Gayye. Well I m not sock just a team member of Dill Mill Gayye.

I kindly info you wikipedia giving peoples wrong informations about Anand, Grover and Other cast of Dill Mill Gayye which effecting Indian's people. As a member of a DMG team I just trying to post right and established info. Most Important I removed the tag from Shilpa Anand cause Shilpa Anand not needed the tag anymore as I added sources.

BTW a Page reviewer thanked me for editing the article Shilpa Anand. Whats your peoplem then?? And yes I waited for the day when protection from shilpa anand gonna removed. Because I wanted to edit the page.--Rimjim Borsha (talk) 19:33, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Obvious sock: cf these edits by a recently blocked sock with these edits by রিদি. The user clearly waited until they were autoconfirmed in order to target the article again with the same BLP violations. bonadea contributions talk 11:11, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Obvious sock being obvious - targeting Shilpa Anand immediately after the protection was lifted, just like before, and restoring the inappropriate text and references, just like before, with only very minor differences. The only other article they have edited is Dill Mill Gayye, another favourite of this sockmaster. bonadea contributions talk 10:05, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Three different IPs have been restoring the usual sockpuppet fancruft to Dill Mill Gayye today, and after the article was semiprotected, the user posted to the talk page, acknowledging that they are the same user as the ipsocks. bonadea contributions talk 20:42, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Adding KS Rimzzz to the report. That account has been adding the same fluff and fancruft to Dill Mill Gayye. Cf for instance and. bonadea contributions talk 04:09, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

I am not used any fluff and fancruft to Dill Mill Gayye. The edits were there since long--KS Rimzzz (talk) 04:54, 6 June 2018 (UTC) I have a request please close the wikipedia infinity for unregistered or new users so that only administratiors and confirmed users can edits the place because I don't think there's any need for new or anonymous users edits. They just wasting their time by trying to edit wikipedia as their edits always not acceptable, inapproriate fancruft, vandalism and sockpuppet edits etc. Atleast we'll find a new way of collect informations. 8.37.226.44 (talk) 08:39, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

Agreed.. Its take lot of time to collect informations and sources from internet and edit a page. All They will do just come and undid the whole edit. It will be better if they not let any new or IP users edit wikipedia.--KS Rimzzz (talk) 10:46, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

This editor has been on my Shonakash radar for a while, but I have not been 100% sure until now - there are many well-meaning but clueless fans of Indian movie stars after all. Their focus is slightly wider than many previous socks, but they display the identical inability to understand the concept of sourcing (especially what is not a reliable source for a BLP), they don't get the concept of consensus, and most significantly they keep restoring the same unsourced gossip/promotional trivia as all previous socks have added to articles such as Karan Singh Grover (an article that was previously protected for a year, and then for another year, because of the persistent sockpuppetry and BLP violations.) bonadea contributions talk 10:14, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

 * - In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
 * 1) At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
 * 2) At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
 * 3) In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  23:18, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
