Same MO – adding a non-free poster image to N. T. Rama Rao Jr. and related articles, with the edit summary "added links".

Tony28tarun –, ,

Tarun joga t –, ,

There has also been block evasion while logged out. I have these articles in my watchlist, so I have been reporting the IPs to AIV, where they have been taken care of. Should I include them in this report? –FlyingAce✈hello 14:41, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

 * I indeffed Tarun joga t for image vandalism. He kept adding giant images to the middle of articles like here, and doing weird shit like using a soundtrack image in an article about a person like here. Noting it here for behavioral clues should he continue in the future. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:18, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

 * to confirm socking. Both of the accounts that I have added were created on Aug. 3 which is when Tarun joga was blocked. They have also been changing the image on the same article. This and this. I've semi'd the article for a month.
 * Tony28tarun and Tarun joga t are to each other.

These are ducky on their own since they all have intersections at Jai Lava Kusa where they appear to be trying to sculpt the article despite previous plagiarism/copyright infringement concerns. (Sloppy promotional editing that doesn't seem to care about close paraphrasing or copy/pasting from other sources.) I'm asking for a CU just to see if there are any other accounts brewing. I'm not blocking just yet, but I will semi-protect Jai Lava Kusa. Thanks all. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:21, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

User:Srinivastarun first created Haarika & Hassine Creations then a Draft:Haarika & Hassine Creations was created by User:Oysandk and then User:Saichaitanya4496 created Haarika & Hassine Creations which looked very similer to the draft by User:Oysandk. So if a admin can check if its similar. User:Oysandk account is stale so a CU would not help but the similarity of the draft and page look promising. Thank you. - FitIndia  Talk Commons 10:20, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Fitindia If you have any issues with me creating a page for Haarika & Haasine Creations a renowned Telugu production house, let me know. Don't make such a worst claims such as Sockpuppetering. I just copied the draft content to the mainspace which is commonly followed practices. If you still have a problem then block me I don't have an issue. Its just my hobby will get a new one that's it. Still don't get why one will have a problem with creating a page for renowned production house. Check it is notable enough for creating a page.

Totally ducky based on name. There is also a history of "Tarun" similar socks like Srinivastarun. User also has a penchant for uploading copyrighted images inappropriately, which it seems they did back in the old days. User also seems to have an interest in Indian actor N. T. Rama Rao Jr. I'm requesting CU look for socks of this new account since they were known to have multiple accounts at once, though I know we won't be able to compare against the original account.

In late April I blocked Tarun Joga 28 as a duck of Tony28tarun. I noticed Renegade4328 at one of the articles that Tarun Joga 28 last edited. These two accounts only have two intersections, but they are both subjects related to Indian actor N. T. Rama Rao Jr. The "28" in the new suspected sock's name seems to suggest they could be related. Would appreciate a double-check to confirm so I don't erroneously block someone. And just to clarify I'm asking to confirm to the duck,, since the master is long stale, and to see if there are any sleepers. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:40, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
