Suspected sockpuppets



 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

Both users joined on same day. Uploaded images with similar names. Have been editing in the same field. Vidhee2 created a BLP, possibly auto: Vidhee Mandhub. The puppet name can be Neel Mandhub. High chances of socking. If not socking, then definitely meat-ing. — usernamekiran (talk)  18:39, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

This isn't super clear-cut to me yet, but this brand new editor (Neelmandhub) has three areas of intersection with Vidhee2, including at an obscure article on Sargun Kaur (now a redirect), who is a debutante actress in an Indian series. (Meaning she's not a well-known celebrity.) Neelmandhub has only edited about 5 articles, so intersecting thrice is curious.

Neelmandhub has also jumped into a conversation at Talk:Kaal Bhairav Rahasya to show support for Vidhee2's ignorant desire to label cast/characters as "Main lead", "Parallel lead", "Supporting lead". Vidhee2 made a series of these changes, like here where he describes someone as a "Main female lead protagonist", which is just a salad of redundant interpretive labels. (Really, they were the main lead protagonist? And thank God you told the readers which one is a boy and which one is a girl!) Neelmandhub's sudden appearance here looks like an attempt to game the system, i.e. by creating a sock account to show support for an unpopular position. Like, how did Neelmandhub even know that there was a discussion about this?

Neelmandhub also blanked a portion of my user page, which is something Vidhee2 did to another user.

I'm not 100% on this. It could just be two dudes editing in tandem, or a coincidence, so I was hoping someone could look behind-the-scenes. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:07, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah, I just noticed that opened an SPI on him as well. We're heading into duck territory based on Neelmandhub's user name, as Vidhee2 created an article titled Vidhee Mandhub. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:12, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
 * yup. There are a few behavioural similarities, but given the usernames, and activity in general; i would say its socking for sure, or at the least, meat puppetry is involved. I found the plot of serial more interesting than the talkpage — usernamekiran (talk)   01:42, 1 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Editor interaction utility are quit similar. Uploaded same file for same article. Ex. [[File:OSlslmYiOiJqcGcifQ.jpeg]]. Re this and . Both are same. I don't thing that they are involved in meat puppet. It is an alternative account, result as a sock puppet. -  Siddiqsazzad001   (TALK)    03:00, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

 * I've indeffed both accounts because he was being disruptive. Don't think we need the CU. Closing. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:49, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
