The master account was created in 2013 and their last edit was in 2017, then they made one edit last month suddenly reappeared after nearly a month to move Draft:Piiyush Singh that was draftified by. Rohit mayekar was registered in Feb and made only two edits on 18th May on the same draft. This looks like a paid sock farm so looking at the age of their accounts I'm requesting CU for technical relation and sleepers. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 12:02, 14 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Post CU comment: In that case, Snksounak looks like a meat account because Globaldominator was inactive since April and suddenly appeared the same day just after Snksounak moved their draft to main. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 05:56, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

 * - Looks fishy to me too, let's have a look. Endorsed, please check for sleepers too. creffett (talk) 02:08, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * From a technical standpoint, Globaldominator and Rohit mayekar are ✅ to each other, but to Snksounak. Mz7 (talk) 05:27, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Closing. The SandDoctor  Talk 04:14, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Should Rohit mayekar and Globaldominator get split out as their own case, or is there enough evidence to keep them here? If the later, then I'll update the tags to indicate the additional alt-master. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:42, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * They all have pretty well exclusive interest in that specific draft. Fishy enough that I blocked and tagged Snksounak as suspected master, Rohit mayekar as confirmed master (eldest of two that were confirmed) and Globaldominator as confirmed sock of Rohit mayekar. I really don't have that strong of a preference either way and will defer to Mz7 on this one. -- The SandDoctor Talk 14:48, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The behavioral evidence seems compelling enough to me that I don't think we need to split this case. I think the simplest tagging scheme would be to add  for both Globaldominator and Rohit mayekar. Mz7 (talk) 22:20, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I've retagged Globaldominator and Rohit mayekar per Mz7's suggestion. I'll leave a final review and archiving to somebody else. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:47, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

 * It's obvious this is another sock from the same farm, but endorsing for CU to see if there's more sleepers. Also, in past checks, it's been unclear if Snksounak is the correct master here.  The pattern so far as been technical connection to Globaldominator and Rohit mayekar, but not to Snksounak.  I'm expecting more of the same.  I've also semi-protected Draft:Piiyush Singh. -- RoySmith (talk) 12:48, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ Globaldominator & Rohit mayekar. to anything else.
 * Given behavior included, Snksounak, Shaabdo, Iamfsdh. --  Amanda  (aka DQ) 17:47, 1 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Iamfsdh . I think it's quite possible Globaldominator and Rohit mayekar are separate individuals, but their sockpuppetry also revolves around the same topics as Snksounak, so I don't think we need to split the cases at this time. Closing. Mz7 (talk) 00:42, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
