Ulka1211 was warned for adding promotional spam on multiple articles, including adding trivia with prominent mentions of a non-notable company, "Rust Belt Entertainment, Inc.", on multiple articles (sample diff), up to and including a level-4 warning (see user's talk page both for the warnings and the customized messages in them). Partglobal was registered not long after Ulka1211 got their final warning, seemingly in an attempt to avoid being blocked, and started their career on WP by reverting a revert of Ulka1211 that I had made on Jaya Bachchan. Which resulted in a discussion on my talk page where the IP, which going by their post on my talk page is Parthglobal editing without logging in, showed up, leaving this message: "If you can resort to arbitrary destructive attitude then so can I. Unlike, ulka1211, I am not a rookie in this domain. This is a warning you don't want to take lightly.", threatening disruption on Wikipedia in retaliation for being cautioned for adding irrelevant trivia to a BLP. I see both a connection between Ulka1211 and Partglobal, and a connection between Partglobal and the IP, which combined with the attitude showed by the IP in the post on my talk page prompted this SPI.

The intersection evidence on the Bachchan article was fairly clear. The editing of other articles by the master that were apparently unrelated to Bachchan gave me some pause. What tipped the balance for me was the discussion on Thomas.W's talk page. I blocked the master indefinitely because of the very disruptive nature of the edits and the comments by their puppet. I indeffed the puppet and tagged both accounts. I took no action against the IP because they edited only once and that was several days ago.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:33, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
