 * Oh, they're undoubtedly the same person (they created word-for-word identical promotional userpages), but as far as I can tell they haven't actually broken any rules yet with their socking. I left warnings on both of their talk pages last night about the use of multiple accounts, I think that should be enough for now. Closing without action, but if they actually start misusing both accounts they're fair game for a sockpuppetry block. creffett (talk) 15:19, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

 * When they had two accounts pushing this nonsense I was willing to AGF (forgotten password or something), but they're up to four accounts doing this and are not communicating. . GeneralNotability (talk) 20:07, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Creating similar vanity User page and hijacking Vishal Kumar (IP). Requesting CU to check for sleepers. S0091 talk) 19:07, 23 August 2020 (UTC) S0091 (talk) 19:07, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks . My main concern is actually the hijacking of Vishal Kumar and have an outstanding RFPP but other suggestions are welcome. The vanity pages are at least contained in User space so no real harm to the encyclopedia. I also sent a note to Patrick Rogal on Commons as they had deleted (or nominated) the previous photos.

I already found and blocked these:

These are new: I'll think about ways to deal with this, but it's probably just going to be Whac-a-Mole. Clerks, there's previous case at Sockpuppet investigations/Vishal Ravat. I don't know what to do about this, so do whatever you think is best. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:58, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Merged to the older case, ignoring since I see no evidence to suggest they're related (no contribs). Closing. GeneralNotability (talk) 23:28, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , I think you meant to say, "ignoring Vishal Kumar" here? Please confirm. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:23, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , yes, I did mean Vishal Kumar, thanks for the catch. GeneralNotability (talk) 15:24, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
