Suspected sockpuppets



 * Tools: Editor interaction utility • Interaction Timeline • User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Editor Interaction tool shows significant overlaps on subject matter - albeit that the original master + socks stopped operating in October 2018 and new accounts started in March 2020


 * 1 has a very similar user-name to earlier socks - Shivkishni compared to ShivamKishni, as well as ShivamEtawah and ShivamNawar


 * Edits are to promote/talk up Sarsai Nawar, e.g. creation of articles including "Sarsai City" in the title although it is just a village, not a city, and several are not in Sarsai - e.g. Sarsai City Wetland {2018)- Please see my rationale for moving that on the talk page Sarsai City Bus Stand {2020)- which is in Etawah not Sarsai Kidzee Play School Sarsai City, also in Etawah, not Sarsai, Draft:Rathore Plaza Sarsai - again Rathore Plaza is in Etawah, not Sarsai


 * Thakur Shivam Singh was created by User:Thakurjiofficial but deleted. Thakur Shivam Singh was then re-created by User:Shivkishni Hajari Mahadev Temple was created by User:Thakurjiofficial but turned into a redirect. The redirect was removed by User:Shivkishni Sarsai Nawar Road was created by one of the earlier socks (User:ShivamEtawah I think) and Sarsai Road by User:Shivkishni Arjayay -  (talk) 18:49, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

I wasn't aware of this case and filled a new one under "Saurabhgurgaon" as the master (Sockpuppet investigations/Saurabhgurgaon) so, can someone please delete/merge it here?

On April 22 Shivkishni created Thakur Shivam Singh, On April 27, Shivsaifai uploaded File:Doctor Shivam Singh.jpg and on May 8, Saurabhgurgaon created wikiquote:Thakur Shivam Singh and the AfD template along with the image and Wikiquote template from Thakur Shivam Singh an hour after it was nominated for deletion.

Shivsaifai made no edits on en-wiki but uploading images on commons that both Saurabhgurgaon and Shivkishni using on various articles. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 05:03, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

 * There's enough here in the editing overlap, name similarity, and clustering of account creation dates that I think we can block just on behavior. But, I'd recommend CU to see what else falls out. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:52, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah I think CU would be good to confirm the link between the accounts. Keep in mind that the master is stale. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 08:15, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
 * - Requesting CU. I've held off on the block/tagging for now, so we can get the right tags. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:19, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Saurabhgurgaon = Shivkishni. You'll have to contact a commons CU for any information on Shivsaifai because what I have is invalid. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 20:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Blocked and tagged Saurabhgurgaon and Shivkishni on CU, and Shivsaifai on behavior. Closing -- RoySmith (talk) 21:22, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Adding Educationsarsai, based on this request on my talk page. It's a slam dunk based on behavior.  The fake barnstar from Saurabhgurgaon is a nice touch.  I'm also going to take a sweep and look for page creations from all of these that might be G5 fodder.   maybe also worth re-endorsing for another CU check to see what else Educationsarsai leads to?  -- RoySmith (talk) 12:26, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Educationsarsai is ✅ to Saurabhgurgaon, blocked and tagged. Closing. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 12:30, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , Given the interaction at Firozabad Municipal Corporation, I'm wondering if this is tied to Sockpuppet investigations/Jai49? -- RoySmith (talk) 14:02, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
