Bestf123

Same kind of vandalism on the same articles, e. g. to Deaths in September 2020, Dominique Kalifa, as the recently blocked sockpuppet Chill89 (see their contributions).

Obvious block evasion via the IP's 2001:8f8:1a65:6c7b:7020:fc69:f856:efa3 and 2.51.37.255 (their editing pattern and their article interest are almost identical). Given that they are the only substantial contributors to Draft:Manish Shukla, I request its speedy deletion per WP:G5. Renewal6 (talk) 11:33, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The revision history of Shukur Hamidov (see [1]) confirms that User:Newzap123 (confirmed sockpuppet), User:Chill89 (suspected sockpuppet) and User:Onhi (the subject of this SPI) are the same person.

Additionally, the edits by similar IP's on the same article make the above-mentioned block evasion evident. Renewal6 (talk) 20:26, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On Deaths in September 2020 (see the revision history): unexplained removals by Chill89, Onhi and 2.51.37.255. Similar behaviour on Deaths in August 2020 (see [2]): consecutive unexplained removals by 2001:8f8:1a65:6c7b:7020:fc69:f856:efa3 ([3], [4]) and 2.51.37.255 ([5]), thus indicating the same sockmaster behind the two IP's.

Messing up the articles Recent deaths and "Deaths in month x". The name of the Draft:Dushyant Karani and the confirmed sockpuppet User:Dushyantkarani. According to the revision history of the draft, the two accounts are connected and Dbkin is evading the indefinite block of Fluffysandbox. Renewal6 (talk) 12:39, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Both already blocked; Fluffysandbox is globally locked for cross-wiki abuse. Confirmed to each other, and editing from the same IP range as I see in the CU logs for the master. Tagging, requesting lock for Dbkin. Closing. Girth Summit _(blether) 13:28, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Same article interest (Recent deaths, Gun Violence Archive, Central Bureau of Investigation, etc.) as the previous sockpuppets. Cross-wiki abuse on the Fiji Hindi Wikipedia ([6]), the sockpuppets User:Fluffysandbox and User:Dbkin are globally locked for that reason ([7], [8]). Renewal6 (talk) 17:19, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Very Likely based on technical data alone; behaviour leaves little room for doubt. Blocked, lock requested. Girth Summit _(blether) 19:06, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Created Draft:Dushyant Karani that was previously G5'd as a sock creation of this master. UtherSRG (talk) 10:44, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
