Suspected sockpuppets
Adding same WP:CASTE (Yadav/Yadava/Ahir/Abhira) POVPUSH as the master. Confirmed by cross-wiki activity sock, master.

The vandal has been disrupting Wikimedia in multiple cross-wiki instances, adding highly racialist nonsense to a multitude of pages. Asking for CU to further confirm this and check for sleepers. Gotitbro (talk) 12:45, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Also likely connected to the socks Gamachuiaaa, Yaduvanshi_ahir's, The Real History Page, Harry king0001, YadavJi108, Great_Aryan_Boys. Gotitbro (talk) 14:18, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Basically any sock here Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Yaduvanshi ahir's, who appears to be the master. Gotitbro (talk) 23:36, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
 * This might go even further, Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Ultimate survi also appears to be part of the same sock network. Gotitbro (talk) 23:47, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Wikidata:Requests for checkuser/Case/Ancient Warrior History, a CU at Wikidata confirms the sock nature of Ancient Warrior History and Great Aryan Boys and between the latter and True History 369 as possible and between True History and Narayana-Narayana as also likely (these can be blocked on this basis). Since the socks were more active on enwiki a clearer picture will emerge with CU results here. The closer also characterized this network as probably also involving meatpuppetry. (Per the comment below, the observation of meatpuppetry appears to be limited to the relationship between सम्राट सिंह यदुवंशी and the rest.) As an entrenched case of cross-wiki abuse, I will be adducing the evidentiary diffs as is from the Wikidata case which further solidify the association between these accounts:
 * Great Aryan Boys on a spree restoring the edits of previous socks and the master, basically confirming their association: (,, , , , , The Real History Page, , Narayana, , Uday singh jadeja, , True History. (now blocked on Wikidata along with the master (Warrior))
 * Gamachuiaaa:, Uday, , , , Harry King, ,
 * Yaduvanshi ahir's:, , , ठाकुर देव सिंह, Uday, विक्रम सिंह बनाफर (dedicated edit-warring sock), Jenminjimina, Harry King,
 * Eroberar:, Aryan, ,
 * Satyitihas:, , Harry King.

Unmarked edits are those of either the listed sock or the master (Warrior). Gotitbro (talk) 13:54, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
 * At least one of these accounts has been globally (b)locked (Harry_king0001) and I believe the rest should be as well, considering the disruption of Wikidata along with multi-language wikis. I am not sure about that procedure but once this is done, that should be next step. Gotitbro (talk) 13:54, 31 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Further added Hardcore Statutory, Kamalydv and Ancient Historians. Gotitbro (talk) 16:07, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Also noting that this extremely hateful comment on 's talk page was most likely left by the same sock network. To see what we are dealing with here. Gotitbro (talk) 20:21, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Gotitbro did not completely accurately portray my findings. Please review my original comment on the Wikidata RfCU, wherein I suggested that this is a WP:MEAT situation.--Jasper Deng (talk) 18:36, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Ancient Warrior History, Narayana-Narayana, Tryant Saurashtrian, सम्राट सिंह यदुवंशी, and True History 369, and RealHistoryWiki are all, but it's really no more than being in the same large country, with some overlap on very wide IP ranges. The other accounts are stale.  I agree with  that WP:MEAT is a more plausible explanation than socking. RoySmith (talk) 15:22, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Some findings:
 * Narayana-Narayana == Tryant Saurashtrian: see, , ,.
 * Tryant Saurashtrian == Uday singh jadeja: see,.
 * I think many of these accounts, as well as Yaduvanshi ahir's socks and Ultimate survi socks are related. Possibly 2 people, both with various socks. I'll leave this here at the moment. This will require a much longer investigation. MarioGom (talk) 23:01, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I can see two behavioral groups here.
 * Group 1: True History 369, Ancient Historians, Ancient Warrior History (see, ).
 * Group 2: Narayana-Narayana, Tryant Saurashtrian, and all Yaduvanshi ahir's socks, which I'll list here for convenience:
 * I think I will request blocks for both groups, then move the case and split out Group 1. Unless someone is convinced to treat them all as a single group. I could use a second opinion. MarioGom (talk) 22:20, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, I went back and took another look. I don't know why, but I didn't run a check on  the first time I looked at this.  I ran one now, and I'll amend my original statement to say that  is  to .  Also, (from publicly-available data) I see that  hit the same edit filter on Alauddin Khalji so I'd guess they're part of Group 1 as well. RoySmith (talk) 16:52, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
 * - Group 2 split to Sockpuppet investigations/Yaduvanshi ahir's. Please, block True History 369, Ancient Historians and Ancient Warrior History. Thank you. MarioGom (talk) 22:38, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
