A promotional sockpuppet/meatpuppet ring where all the presumed puppeteers are indulged in creating or developing entries about borderline-notable or non-notable Bengali books and saving them at AfD.Master is heavily involved too but her contributions range over a wide span of content.Overlap is very evident per this finding by.

 * Please do not blame them, they are Bengali so came to help me in Bengali articles. And if you think I am a "master of sock puppetry" then, welcome to my userspage and see my major contribution list. I am contributing on Wikipedia since March 2014, never raised such allegation of "sock puppetry". I love to contribute in Wikipedia and I am proud to be a Wikipeian.

 * --Do you know any of the aforesaid account(s) personally i.e. by any offsite means? Winged Blades Godric 09:03, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
 * -- No, personally I don't know them. But I guessed they are Bengali because they were talking about the references. Taniya94 (talk) 09:12, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
 * -- Can you provide a couple of diffs at which you "saw" them talking about references? ––– Latreia (talk) 09:36, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
 * see this - Articles_for_deletion/Ekti_Ghrinyo_Golpo Taniya94 (talk) 09:40, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
 * But the fact is that both Sumit and Sathi were actively collaborating with you at Draft:Koto Bhoot! Ki Adbhut! as single-purpose-accounts, before they choose to leap to support you at the AfD.So, your first acquaintance with them was not at the AfD.The IP had also worked at two of your created articles before leaping onto the AfD.

 * -- "This" is _after_ they've "helped" you with articles; and "this" is precisely the matter which we are now investigating (votes from all these accounts for the articles you created). They seem awfully knowledgeable, as of early September, about an obscure publishing house which you are currently actively defending, and even this publisher's upcoming releases. ––– Latreia (talk) 10:05, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
 * -- They had edited articles created by me, so what? Ask them "why they chose to edit my articles?"
 * -- Yes I still actively editing those to make improvements, what should I do, just leave them? And yes I am actively editing more articles concurrently. Please also focus on those, and then tell me - I am doing sock puppetry or not. Thanks all. Taniya94 (talk) 10:18, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Hmm...One of the references you added at Draft:Koto Bhoot! Ki Adbhut! (i.e. RefNo- 9 at this version) is written by তানিয়া সরকার i.e. Taniya Sarkar.Any comments? Winged Blades Godric 10:26, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
 * No idea, may be a coincidence. My name is Taniya Baidya and live in Kolkata. Taniya94 (talk) 10:57, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Taniya, your other achievements are irrelevant. And please, it's not "sHock", it's SOCKpuppets—other accounts that you or the entity you obviously have a COI about are using to create the appearance of a crowd that defends your non-notable products from deletions. –––Latreia (talk) 10:40, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry for that. Believe it or not I don't know them. Taniya94 (talk) 10:57, 22 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey, wait a minute. Are you serious? I am not a shock puppet at all. I dont know who Taniya 94 is. Somehow my eyes fell upon that story, to know furthur I Googled it, and I found Ekti Ghrinyo Golpo. Yes, I voted to keep that article. But that doesn't mean I am shock puppet. As you can see I am not very much active with wikipedia, I occasionally edit. I am new to this, please help if I done something wrong. Don't do this plz. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sathi.Mondal (talk • contribs) 16:40, 22 November 2017 (UTC)


 * — I have three questions for you:
 * 1) What motivated you to work on the draft of an article for a book that is not yet released? If you are a fan of books of this particular genre, why haven't you first started contributing by writing about books that you have already read and been inspired by? (Because I find that is usually _my_ human motivation when I edit articles pertaining to pop culture—I have been inspired by a work of art that I've already experienced. I don't go around looking for things which haven't yet been released because I don't know whether I'll like them.)
 * 2) How come that in the _third_ comment that you've made after registering on Wikipedia, you were aware of the utility of tagging refs with the "name" attribute? I've learned about this trick after a couple of hundred edits (both on this Wikipedia and other ones). Have you been on Wikipedia before? Under what username?
 * 3) Finally, what made you visit Wikipedia today, November 22nd, the very day that you were put under investigation, as it seems the last time that you'd been active before that was October 30th?

 * Probably unrelated and has to do more with the language, but I had a sense of deja vu with "shock puppetry". Galobtter (pingó mió) 08:10, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

 * - To confirm if this is indeed sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry. "Shock puppetry" is probably language related, but note how the users phrase their votes as "Do not Delete" .  Sro23 (talk) 22:54, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

Pretty clear-cut editing area overlap. ~ Winged Blades Godric 16:04, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
