Editing on Prabuddha Bharata and Tantra. IP addresses edit Prabuddha Bharata, in the course adding long list of contributors to the article (note lack of wikiformatting skills). Last edit at 06:08 GMT, 3 minutes later they continue as newly created Sudhavedanta. So far no problems. Next day same time editing is taken over by newly created ProwlingRaven, with same lack of wiki knowledge; gets reverted by an editor while myself I cleanup the long promotional list of contributors. Sudhavedanta picks up an edit war, undoing my edits, then reverting who had restored the clean version , and again me. Sudhavedanta continues to edit, at 06:48 GMT today placing a comment on my Talk page. A few minutes later Nandini2311 is created, attacks me on my Talk page about these edits and falls silent at 07:42. Sudhavedanta then continues editing from 07:48.

Just like Sudhavedanta, account ProwlingRaven, which was created within 24h from Sudhavedanta, focused his/her edits only on Prabuddha Bharata and Tantra. Both accounts just tried to add a reflink to the Prabuddha Bharata magazine:,. Editing times are close but again do not overlap.

What's interesting is that Sudhavedanta indirectly admits to operating ProwlingRaven, complaining on my Talk page of me reverting his edits to Tantra. However, they were ProwlingRaven's edits and were reverted by another editor.

All in all, although evidence is limited to a few edits, behaviour and editing style point to one and the same person operating all the three accounts. IP addresses added here for reference only as it is natural to edit from an IP address before creating an account. — kashmiri  TALK  11:12, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
