 * It's possible that this is a different UPE, but they're working toward the same goals so I'm fine with marking them as an ImSonyR9 sock. Noting for future reference that there also may be some overlap here with Sockpuppet_investigations/Siddiqsazzad001 (at least one of Nandeshwar's deleted pages overlaps with a known Siddiqsazzad sock), but again - could just be multiple UPEs. Regardless,, closing. GeneralNotability (talk) 14:23, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

The junior account moved Draft:Khushi Shah into article space. It was originally created in article space by the senior account, and was then draftified. The senior account has now been blocked for UPE and sockpuppetry. Activity by junior account is very much like by blocked senior account. Request microscopic examination of the duck feathers.

 * Dtt1 appeared at the AfD on ImSonyR9's paid article on Vivek Verma
 * Dtt1 was created in February but did not begin editing until June, the same morning as when ImSony removed my inquiry about whether he was a paid editor from his talk page . Very few edits, but then two days after ImSony was blocked Dtt1 had immediately begun doing new page patrol and applying speedy tags.
 * Dtt1 also curiously happened to find this likely paid draft which ImSonyR9 created, and moved it to mainspace.


 * Responding to RoySmith, I don't think there is much to be had out of a SPI case for Dtt1 since Stringsofemotions only made three unimportant edits and Indianguide23 was a different kind of linkspammer. However I think it's fairly obvious that Dtt1 is a UPE. – Thjarkur (talk) 15:45, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I endorse the above view that Dtt1 is a UPE, I have been watching his creation history and there is more than meets the eye. - FitIndia  Talk Admin on Commons 17:02, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

 * - The timing found by Thjarkur between removing the UPE query by the master and starting to edit by the warehoused sock account is telling. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:29, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Based on Amanda's findings, I'm thinking create a new case for Dtt1, and move Stringsofemotions and Indianguide23 there.  Seeking a second opinion on that before I do anything. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:42, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Stringsofemotions, 1 week no tags for Dtt1. UPE action against them can be followed up seperately from SPI, and if they really are a sock, they'll probably provide more evidence in the future. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:50, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
 * It was suspected in Sockpuppet investigations/Swarup Kumar Solanki (15 September 2020), that Dtt1 might be related to that case. Just something to be aware of should this come back for another round. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:43, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

This new editor appeared about a month ago and has made about a dozen or so edits to articles related to Bangladeshi cricket. After just twelve edits, they created this page, which was originally in the article space. I'd be stunned if a brand new editor knew how to create these type of articles from the word go.

Similar articles created by the sock-master include this, this and this. The clincher for me is this, complete with the incorrect ndash between the year range, as per the sock's creation.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 18:38, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

 * ( original case name)

I recently came across this user as he is very active in editing cricket articles. Three days after ImSony's unblock request was declined, Sonyroy became active and started editing after 8 long years. On 17 November 2018, ImSonyR9 redirected the user page of Sonyroy to User:ImSonyR9. ImSonyR9 had earlier disclosed that their name in real life is Sony Roy in the infobox of their userpage, according to Special:PermanentLink/1103899890. Manas babu and Mr. Anik R both are sockpuppets of ImSonyR9, while both names appear to be the nickname of SonyRoy, according to Special:PermanentLink/664887738. After all, both of ImSony and Sonyroy's edits are focusing on cricket, India and Bangladesh. RoboCric Let's chat  01:05, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
