Suspected sockpuppets

Apparently resorted to sockpuppetry since he has been warned enough on his talk page for recent disruption.[1]

IP socking is continuing: Heheya Kingdom,[9][10] Abhira dynasty.[11][12]

Suspected sockpuppets

[edit]

Many of these accounts are blocked for socking while some are not, some seems like sleeper accounts, a year old with single digit edits and then sudden activity. Almost every accounts has some pages that are common and most account has activity only on those articles, nothing else. Some even have similar names like HinduKshatrana and KshatranaHindu. There has been quite a rise in socking and disruptive editing on Ahir caste related pages, atleast two separate SPI blocked quite a big group of them but I suspect these are also related to those accounts. Many accounts are created and then discarded after a few edits. Their usual target pages are Yaduvanshi Aheer, Hindu Ghosi, Jadaun, Ahirwal, Ahirwada, Ahir clans, Yadava, Ahir, Krishnaut, Ahar caste Gopa, Abhira tribe, Indian rebellion of 1857, Gadariya where all these accounts edits are mostly similar reverting or editing. This is quite a big arena, and many of the new socks are creating too much trouble on many pages, if a checkuser could run a check on them whether these blocked accounts are related to these other accounts or not.

  •  Additional information needed - Sajaypal007, you've listed something like a dozen accounts. Several of them are blocked already under other sockpuppet investigations and others haven't edited in months, and your justification boils down to "interested in the same topic" which is not sufficient.
  • In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
  1. At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
  2. At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
  3. In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this. GeneralNotability (talk) 21:46, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • KshatranaHindu moved Ahir clans to Yadav clans,[14] while HinduKshatrana is mentioning "Yadav" at the first sentence of this article.[15]
  • On Hindu Ghosi, HinduKshatrana mentions on lead that the subject traces origins to "Yaduvanshi Ahirs"[16] while KshatranaHindu removes mention of "Krishnavanshi" to keep it limited to "Yaduvanshi".[17]
  • Tag team edit war on Jadaun show 100% identical edits.[18][19]

  • User:Hcsrctu was created on 30 January 2024[20] and 31 January was the day when HinduKshatrana took a long wikibreak, editing only intermittently. [21]
  • Restores the same content as Hcsrctu [22] [23] calling it the "last best" version.
  • Hcsrctu "Removed Raj era" and HinduKshatrana "Rmvd, Raj-Era source."
  • Restores same revision as Adhinayak [24][25]
  • Similar caste promotional edits [26][27]

  • CU results:
Group 1: Hcsrctu and Madaraobitoitachipain are  Confirmed to each other.
Group 2: Indica123 and Adhinayaka are  Confirmed to each other.
Groups 1 and 2 are  Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely) to each other. आभीरवाटक and HinduKshatrana are  Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely) to the two groups.
Thehistorybro and Arun singh Yaduvanshi are  Stale.
My summation is that this is either meatpuppetry or a user with access to a range of devices. I'll leave someone to decide what needs to happen here re blocks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Callanecc (talk • contribs) 07:20, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have noticed that Alan Charlotte (AC) has similarities with some users that belong to this SPI classification.

The 1st similarity I noticed is the edit summary style. They use manual reverts that look like the ones by rollbackers. (special:diff/1237044102, special:diff/1236198155 at Yadavs in Bihar). In the SPI archive (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/HinduKshatrana/Archive#14_May_2024), user:Hcsrctu uses this style (special:diff/1220263715, special:diff/1220264232). Please also note that user:Indica123 (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/HinduKshatrana/Archive#14_May_2024) also appeared at Yadavs in Bihar. In addition, special:diff/1236198155 is reverting to a revision by an IP whose range is already blocked (special:redirect/logid/163138137 as user:Hashid Khan, special:redirect/logid/163344315, special:redirect/logid/163707750)

The 2nd similarity is requesting page semi-protection in project namespace to gain the upper hand in content disputes (special:diff/1237046570, simple:special:diff/9545962).

The 3rd similarity is making personal requests to admin user talk pages to block users they met in content disputes. AC did this in simple:special:diff/9711325 and simple:User_talk:MathXplore/2024/07#inappropriate_editing_on_pages, user:Hcsrctu did this in special:diff/1220816866. This is the same as user:Hashid Khan (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/R2dra), who also made personal requests on admin talk pages (special:diff/1236056310, special:diff/1230703078).

Other similarities between AC, user:Hcsrctu, and user:Hashid Khan are explained in simple:special:permalink/9709366#Pseudo-rollbackers_and_proxy_revert_requests_around_south_Asian_topics. MathXplore (talk) 01:28, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, AC mentioned a Wikipedia contributor in simple:User_talk:MathXplore/2024/07#inappropriate_editing_on_pages (simple:special:diff/9673008) by referring to special:diff/1236925399 and special:diff/1236910384. user:Hcsrctu met the same contributor in special:diff/1222678304. How does AC know users that they never contacted before? MathXplore (talk) 01:48, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Blocked and tagged: Alan Charlotte blocked indefinitely per behavioral evidence and a likely admission here. CheckUser requested specifically to look into the likelihood of this account being HinduKshatrana. The group this account is part of was last found to be possilikely to HK.

  • Firefangledfeathers - I am limited by the CU policy as to what I can disclose about IP addresses, but I will say this much: I am very confident that the Alan Charlotte account is operated by the same person who was previously editing as Hcsrctu, and in addition to operating the Alan Charlotte account they have edited extensively while logged out, resulting in a wide range being blocked. I don't see any other active accounts however. HinduKshatrana is not stale, but the amount of activity on that account is low so there isn't a lot to go on; from what little I can see, there is no connection to the Alan Charlotte account other than both geolocating to the same large country.

@Izno: Could Adhinayaka be related to Kroshta sockfarm? There's a very high amount of overlap between them [79] and the fact that Adhinayaka was registered the same day Kroshta was blocked from editing [80][81]. Socking in order to prevent deletion of Majhraut is what led to Kroshta's block, once deleted the article was reinstated by hijacking a redirect by one of Adhinayaka 's socks [82].Ratnahastin (talk) 09:20, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
