Suspected sockpuppets

Pro-forma, logging evidence here. I got an e-mail from expressing a concern that  is, and I think they are spot on.
 * Some context: See this ANI discussion, which led to the master being blocked because of CIR and hat collecting issues. There is a previous case involving Vivek ji123 (and their lock summary includes a reference to another account), but enwiki CU found the two to be unrelated. I also note that it seems fairly apparent from their contributions that Maniik was not new when they joined (the extremely elaborate userpage creation in their first edit comes to mind).
 * Exact same infobox on userpages, down to the title including "User: " (note the space) as a prefix, the non-disambiguated link to Barabanki, separated by the same number of hyphens, and physical description:
 * Sock editing masters user page years after their block
 * Sock returning to two of the master's (few) article creations, both very low-traffic:
 * Edit summaries referencing "illegal characters"
 * ...when adding wikilinks:
 * ...with "characters" misspelt as "characherters":
 * Similar writing style and language proficiency, particularly with regard to capitalisation and punctuation spacing. This is hard to quantify, but see for example . Lazy Maniik has stated that they use Google Translate to edit
 * Strong interest in hats, with a tendency to contact admins directly in order to obtain them. Note that both copy-paste requests by others:
 * Vivek:
 * Maniik (previously edited as "MXX8" and "Jiggyziz"):

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * There's more in the general editing pattern (concerns about bad patrolling, for example); I primarily wanted to log some things that may not be immediately obvious., closing. --Blablubbs (talk) 09:36, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
