Suspected sockpuppets
I'd just warned Usblogger27 for promotion, which they admitted to at the AfD, and all of a sudden this new account starts editing the same artist's page. Star  Mississippi  12:09, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Thanks to !vote at the AFD, I think Usblogger27 might be a sock of  who made the same edits across a different capitalization of the artist's name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Star Mississippi (talk • contribs)

Requested refund of Ashish Kansara. Please also check against user:Professorofcraft, though I think the farm has split. UtherSRG (talk) 11:56, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment I've just blocked as advertising only as they're resubmitting the Draft when nothing has changed and admitted to the promotion at the AfD.  Star   Mississippi  11:53, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I am a checkuser, not a clerk. This case is currently awaiting a clerk to endorse or decline the request. As an opinion only, I suggest this may be suitable for a checkuser; that is, I think this could be endorsed. --Yamla (talk) 21:44, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
 * A CU endorsement is good enough for me. Here are my observations:
 * has edited from two IP ranges within the CU window - I'll call them Range A and Range B.
 * has edited from two ranges. They overlap with Professorofcraft on Range B, and they have edited from Range C. They use different UAs from PoC.
 * does most of their editing from two different ranges - Ranges D and E - but they have quite a few times with overlapped with આસ્ક on Range C, and once with PoC on Range A. They use a mixture of UAs, mostly the same ones as PoC, but sometimes one of the ones used by આસ્ક.
 * I'll add that the IP ranges al geolocate to the same country, most of them to the same city; since 'Usblogger27' seems to imply that the account-holder is a blogger in the US, I will note that it they are not from the US.
 * Where does this all get me? There's no smoking gun - this could be a single person, it could be three different people who are collaborating and who sometimes share networks, or it could be three completely unrelated people who happen to live in the same city and overlap with each other on networks purely by chance. Let's call it, . Girth Summit  (blether)  16:27, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
 * આસ્ક seems similar to PoC cluster behaviourally, marking Usblogger as alt master and closing.  qedk ( t  愛  c ) 13:27, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

A new account, Rootsandtruths found Draft:Kadiya Dhro, which was created by the currently spam blocked account. You can't confirm it anyway, but I don't think the IP is related, but I'm sure we have friends. Star  Mississippi  01:03, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

 * - Seems likely to me.  qedk ( t  愛  c ) 13:16, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * This is - geolocates to the same city as, but it's on a range that I don't think we've seen before in this case. Interest in exactly that same subject, however, is obviously either SOCK or MEAT, so blocking as suspected.  Girth Summit  (blether)  14:07, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
