Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sreejithk2000/Archive

Evidence submitted by PrimeViper
Editting Style
 * User User:Active Banana only concentrates on editing article pages whilst User:Sreejithk2000 mainly emphasizes on images. This must be a way of the user to act as if they are two different people. In case one sockpuppet gets blocked, the other will be saved. Both users also edits article and image pages almost 5-10 times a day. On both usernames, he also mainly use Wikipedia rules to back up his edits, which most of the time looks as playing the game.

Main Page style
 * The difference can be clearly seen between the main pages of User:Active Banana and User:Sreejithk2000 but at the same time, both main page styles seems to have been done in purpose to cover up the sockpuppetry. On User:Sreejithk2000, he used a very professional look while on the account User:Active Banana, he designed the page as if it he only inserted an image and texts without caring what it would look like. This is probably because as I have stated before, the account User:Active Banana mainly focuses on article pages, which is more likely to have a chance of being blocked because of edit warring, while the account User:Sreejithk2000 mostly focuses on images, which is less likely to have edit warring on. He made the account User:Active Banana unprofessional because he knows that it will be blocked sooner or later.

Nationality
 * Based on the main page of User:Sreejithk2000, he is clearly an Indian citizen as he has stated it on boxplots. However, if you look clearly on the image he placed on the the account User:Active Banana, File:Banana bunch India Tamil word 15.jpg the image named clearly states that its a plant from India, which is enough evidence to state the account User:Active Banana is also an Indian citizen.

Requested by PrimeViper (talk) 14:54, 29 June 2010 (UTC) So let me be clear - you claim that two editors are the same because they edit different areas and have different styles of userpages, but may both be Indian citizens? I do not see where you have presented any evidence of alternate account abuse. TN X Man 20:34, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

per Tnxman307. Weak evidence and I also do not see a connection between the two accounts at this time.  E lockid  ( Talk ) 21:23, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
 * What? Maybe a clerk could close this, I don't see many similarities. NativeForeigner Talk/Contribs 02:04, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

, Additionally, both the Hongkong ip and the editor have clear preferences to not just India articles, but specifically to articles and BLPs related to Kerala, some state in India. The editor has also disclosed on their user page they are from Kerala. At the same time, the editor is an OTRS volunteer and an excellent contributor; therefore there should be a very logical explanation to this issue and this case should be handled with extreme care in order to not malign the editor.
