Each of these accounts has done the same thing: removed sourced information about Ravi Shankar's criminal record, without sufficient explanation for the removal. (See diffs here:                                  )

Almost all of the accounts, including the suspected sockmaster's, are clearly single-purpose, with few or no edits on articles other than the one about Shankar. Lemuellio (talk) 14:50, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

 * This is all very stale. None of those accounts and/or IPs have edited in months or even years. There is no ongoing disruption, so I'm closing this.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  20:04, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
 * That makes sense. Thanks. Lemuellio (talk) 02:01, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

I've had to reopen this investigation, since in the last week there have been three new edits (,, and ) that have followed exactly the same pattern as the old ones. Per WP:DUCK, the same sockmaster seems to be at it again, with two new accounts and a new IP address. Lemuellio (talk) 14:42, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
