The accounts Easyspirituality and Gracie Collins have been created only to edit the wikipedia page Ambalal Muljibhai Patel. They are all making similar edits and making comments in favor of each other. The account Grace Collins has been recently created with only one comment yet https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ADada_Bhagwan&diff=606445912&oldid=606445352 where as Easyspirituality is editing since 10th April all in favor of Vorajinesh. Easyspirituality: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dada_Bhagwan&diff=605448559&oldid=604983019. Vorajinesh: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dada_Bhagwan&diff=606334602&oldid=606295005. Rahul (talk) 10:13, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

I do believe that Vorajinesh=Easyspirituality. They both have some unusual phrasing in their arguments, and both have a fondness of starting their arguments with the word "actually" in an odd manner. They both also struggle with signatures; they either do not sign their comments at all, or don't use enough tildes in the signature to include the date. That is in addition to the fact that Easyspirituality has been used solely to support Vorajinesh's views (both on the article talk page an the main page as an edit-warrior). Also, Easyspirituality's first edit was to the Simandhar Swami article, another page that Vorajinesh is active at. I consider this pretty obvious per WP:DUCK. I'm going to block Vorajinesh for a week for abusing a second account, and block Easyspirituality indefinitely as a sockpuppet.

Gracie Collins is a different story. I admit that it's unusual for an account to be created only to comment on a discussion page. However, I strongly doubt that this is a sock of Vorajinesh. This account's comment wrote with a much better grasp of English than either previous account, and fully used a proper signature. In addition, this account did not fully side with Vorajinesh/Easyspirituality, rather it simply supported the third opinion given that suggested that both disputants were arguing in favor of their own preference. Granted, Gracie Collins did favor the Vorajinesh/Easyspirituality POV somewhat by suggesting per Google counts that Dada Bhagwan was more common, but they still didn't conclude that the article should definitely use "Dada Bhagwan" as the title. Given all of that, I'm not calling this account a sock (at least not a sock of Vorajinesh). After blocking the two accounts I mentioned earlier, I'm marking this case for closure. --  At am a  頭 18:04, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
