There were some typical newbie signs of non-harmful multi accounts between Tanisha priyadarshini, and Vishal prajapati 21. But this sock kind of went inactive. So I didnt care about it much. However, I had first explained, and later warned the master/Tanisha priyadarshini about not being here. Then they tried to game the system by making a few minor edits in mainspace, and continuing to socialise in talkspace. A few hours ago, master asked Muboshgu for an unblock. That confused me a little as the master wasnt blocked. But then I realised Dufferdick was blocked by, and after making the aforementioned edit through master account, they requested for unblock through the blocked account. Requesting CU, as there might be more accounts, or sleepers. Regards, —usernamekiran (talk) 11:36, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi. I had the same observations. Master was telling everyone that ""she" wants to be thier friend", and was basically basically socialising, and asking for other people's contact details icluding phone numbers; this can be seen on their talkpage and many other usertalk pages. When I realised that, I dropped a normal message to them. At that time, they had only one edit in mainspace which was also reverted (now I think it was intentional factual inaccuracy). Then even Teahouse's patient guy Cullen had to ask them this. Only after notifying the master about NOTHERE, they started editing in mainspace. Tanisha is pretending to be a medical student, and a model at the age of 18, and Vishal Prajapati is pretending to be MA holder, a model, and master's boyfriend. Master is trying to be friendly, whereas dufferdick is aggravated version of the master: directly asking girls on date. I still dont think they are room mates, or siblings; they appear to be same person. —usernamekiran (talk) 21:02, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

 * The three accounts are ✅. I didn't see any other accounts. I note that Tanisha priyadarshini claims to be a different person who happens to be on the same network, but in my opinion the technical evidence indicates that these accounts are probably one person. There is always the possibility that these are siblings or roommates who are sharing a single device, but even in that case, it is clear from an examination of these users' edits that their communication and writing skills are insufficient for productive contributions to the encyclopedia. They all seem to share the view that Wikipedia is a social network, e.g. . Out of the master's nearly 300 edits, 60% are to the user talk space and only 7 are to mainspace. For these reasons, even if they are different people, in my view a need for a block exists to prevent further disruption to the project. All accounts, closing. Mz7 (talk) 19:47, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
