They both have similar edit style and are promoting the works of Divya Dwivedi and Shaj Mohan on the Wikipedia. Here are my strong evidences: This is more than enough to suspect that they are sockpuppets and if more evidences are required then I am ready to give it. Please check the IP addresses of both.

 * 1) On the page of Divya Dwivedi, when I removed the exaggerated claims, external links, youtube videos and other information then Speculative Boting reinstated it. Similarly, WWaringer3 also added the informations. here and here which is purely promotional.
 * 2) On the Talk:Divya Dwivedi, Speculative Boting diplomatically supported both in which I objected use of youtube vidoes and other sources as RS but he reinstated the whole content with just removal of source, not any content. See how he balanced here
 * 3) Both edited the page of Barbara Cassin and added the details of Shaj and Divya
 * 4) On Jean-Luc Nancy, Speculative added the name of Shaj Mohan here and WWaringer3 added the work of Shaj and Divya here.
 * 5) On the page of Kathryn Tidrick, Speculative added the work of Shaj and Divya here and similarly, WWaringer3 added the wikilink of both here.
 * 6) On the page of Hoax, Boting added the nonnotable essay written by the Shaj and Divya. Wwaringer added the names of them here.
 * 7) On list of alumni of St. Stephen’s College, Speculative boting added the name of Divya Dwivedi here and similarly Wwaringer added the name of Shaj Mohan here.
 * 8) On the user talk of experienced editor, Boting demanded the help here and WWorringer gave him barnstar here.
 * 9) Similarly, both talked about page of Dwivedi and Shaj on userpage of one editor. See it here.
 * 10) On Thao Jenson, WWorringer added the wikilink and as expected boting had added the paragraph earlier.
 * 11) On the Indian Ideology, Speculative Boting added the paragraph about Shaj and Divya here and as per behaviour, WWorringer added wikilinks later.
 * 12) On another page, Speculative Boting added para about Shaj and Divya here and WWorringer added wikilinks.

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' What action can be taken if they’re meat puppets? Because these are single purpose accounts, particularly made for promoting work of Divya and Shaj. Are these enough to demand topic ban for philosophy and politics on them?— Harshil want to talk? 13:21, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

 * , to confirm. Note that WWorringer is the older account by 7 years; if they are confirmed then I will move the case. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 11:38, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
 * ✅, blocked and tagged. I've been having problems with the script this morning and had to block and tag manually. Earlier I was unable to do a close with the script. I've experienced occasional errors in the past, but rerunning the script once always worked. This time it doesn't. Is around to fix? If not, someone else maybe?--Bbb23 (talk) 15:36, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Case moved to the oldest account. I think I saw  already pinged Timotheus Canens about a problem with an SPI script this morning. I'm assuming your "clerk" status was for the move and not to wait for a reply so I've closed, but please reset the status if I've got that wrong. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:49, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

As master, adding promotional details to Shaj Mohan and Divya Dwivedi. Selam Boys restores details about Divya which was previously added by Sockmaster but removed by me. Selam is the name of city in Kerala, India. IP 117.232.106.114 is also from Kerala, India. This IP also added promotional details about Shaj Mohan in his page.

 * thanks for it. These pages have disruptive history in past. Can you please protect the pages for autoconfirmed so that promotional details can't be added later? These pages are made to promote subject by someone who are associated with them. -- Harshil want to talk? 17:56, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
 * please perform checkuser on User:Lutyens Expose which is SPA and has same behaviour. — Harshil want to talk? 05:17, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Neither article should be protected. There is barely any recent disruption. Past disruption is irrelevant except when assessing the length of protection for recent disruption.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:24, 21 December 2019 (UTC)


 * No CU check is needed with, as the behavioral evidence and similarities are more than enough to block the account on its own. See these diffs (1, 2), where both users add "Divya Dwivedi is originally from Allahabad" to the edit, following it up with calling her grandfather an "ex justice of the Supreme Court of India", and cite the exact same references.

Shaj Mohan's page was wikiredirected to his book as author is not notable. Suddenly, this user comes on talk page to comment that he has written an article on him, thus, person should have Wikipedia page. Point to note, previously, users with one edit came on these pages to do disruption and promote subject.  Harshil want to talk? 12:05, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
