 * Comment: I just notice that user "YASH VRAJESH SHAH" is the oldest account in this farm so if possible please move this case to YASH VRAJESH SHAH as the master account and merge Sockpuppet investigations/VRAJESH SHAH there as well. Thank you. GSS (talk |c|em ) 04:43, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

Vintoxxx was registered a couple of days after previous socks were blocked and recreated the same article under Yash Shah (Rubber Man). Wearegamers was registered today and immediately start editing the same article. GSS (talk |c|em ) 14:55, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Similar incompetent, disruptive draft moves and editing (see this edit by past sock) as well as overlap in that same article with two VS socks, and. Nearly identical userpage: BollywoodInformation, Viralfunda, Vintoxxx Praxidicae (talk) 14:37, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Created Draft:Yash Shah and Draft:Yash Shah (contortionist), both apparently based on this. Looks like a duck to me, but request CU. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 08:28, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

I strongly believe they are the same individual, as per their behavioral patterns, linguistic expressions, and certain off-wiki information that interlinks various aspects. I am willing to discuss these details privately, in adherence to the guidelines outlined in WP:OUTING.

On-wiki, created Sanjay Raval, and Tablasingh subsequently !voted keep during the deletion discussion, marking their sole participation in an AfD since their registration. Furthermore, both users have started their userpages employing strikingly similar language and expressions. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 06:46, 11 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Based on what I found off-wiki, these accounts are linked to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/VRAJESH SHAH. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 07:30, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 * please check your inbox. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 08:39, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

In addition to what I privately shared with Bbb23, Vikushah first created Yash Shah and then Yash Shah (Contortionist) on August 12, 2023, in simple-wiki. Furthermore, he posted this message on another user's talk page after the page was deleted. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 04:55, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Please see Sockpuppet investigations/Vikuvshah for more. Thank you. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 08:43, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

 * I merged a report previously filed at Sockpuppet investigations/Vikuvshah here. Spicy (talk) 21:46, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * (my day for being a pest, sorry) Shouldn't Vikuvshah be listed as a suspected sock?--Bbb23 (talk) 22:25, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, they should. I wasn't paying attention and assumed it was a previously blocked account. Thanks for cleaning up after me :) Spicy (talk) 22:27, 15 March 2024 (UTC)


 * These two are ✅ to each other and behaviourally it seems likely that they belong to this case. Tagged, locks requested, closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 16:08, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

SPA, registered just a week ago, made some random edits across Wikipedia. Subsequently, it created Draft:Yash Shah that had previously been deleted in March under the G5. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 10:52, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
