:In lieu of the ip's lack of reasoning and evidence, here is some for Dooblts being a sock:
:*Commented on my talk page multiple times without any previous interactions, including edit reversions; the only sock who has asked me for "assistance" (as in doing oddly specific things on Indian milhist articles) before on my talk page is {{u|DeepstoneV}}, a sock in this group.
:*Comments on my talk page claiming that most Rapjut articles "are lacking refrences and citations, relying on 1-2 sources only" and that I should "consider these for deletion"; obviously similar anti-Rajput and anti-Mewar behavior to that of this sockfarm; the same rhetoric is seen here: [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Draft:Battle_of_Dewair_(1582)&diff=prev&oldid=1235687527] [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Mughal_conquest_of_Mewar&diff=prev&oldid=1235335496] [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Siege_of_Gwalior_(1196)&diff=prev&oldid=1235280859], and the similar anti-native Indian edit habits in general here: [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Qurna&diff=prev&oldid=1235687187] [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Krishnadevaraya%27s_Bahamani_Expedition&diff=prev&oldid=1235325310] [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Ahom%E2%80%93Mughal_wars&diff=prev&oldid=1234882915], including suggesting changing "[[Vijayanagara Empire]]" to "Vijayanagar Kingdom" [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Vijayanagara_Empire&diff=prev&oldid=1235327172].

  • The report below was filed out of order with this one, and the later report was processed first. Since Kemilliogolgi was checked and confirmed in that report, closing this one as a duplicate. @Based Kashmiri: please use the form on the main WP:SPI page to file new reports - the report you filed here was missing some important code.

Suspected sockpuppets

[edit]
  1. All accounts were created around the same time, 3 November - 10 December 2023.
  2. All are interested in MILHIST (specifically Indian MILHIST).
  3. DeepstoneV and Kemilliogolgi Consecutively edited Deccani–Vijayanagar wars. [7], Siege of Channapatna [8] [9] and Siege of Vijayanagar.[10] [11]
  4. DeepstoneV and Kemilliogolgi have recently voted in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maratha–Nizam wars.
  5. DeepstoneV and Kemilliogolgi are heavily involved in Ghaznavid campaigns in India.[12]
  6. Both clearly couldn't distinguish between WP:RAJ and WP:RS sources [13][14] and continued to remove constructive edits done by user Rawn3012 in Conquest of Ajmer.
  7. Interestingly Kemilliogolgi in User talk:Aura G666/sandbox asked "How is it going? Everything is fine?" (in Urdu) to yet another user Aura G666 and they replied "Yes, but how can we publish articles here" this shows that Kemilliogolgi is not only involved in sockpuppetry but also meatpuppetry with many users.
  8. We have also found Hassan Gangu in many instances editing consecutively with DeepstoneV and Kemilliogolgi. Like in Siege of Jinji (1698).[15], Adil Shahi dynasty [16], Ramkot Fort [17], Bahmani–Vijayanagar War (1362–1367) [18], Siege of Chittorgarh (1535) [19], Umayyad campaigns in India [20] [21], Alauddin Khalji [22] and Battle of Nagaur [23] [24]
  9. Consecutively both asked some favours from the user SKAG123. [25] [26]
  10. Kemilliogolgi reverted an edit to the version of Hassan Gangu. [27] [28]
  11. Both were found at the talk page of Flemmish Nietzsche [29] [30]
  12. DeepstoneV and Hassan Gangu voted in Talk:Maratha Empire#Requested_move_17_April_2024

Based Kashmiri (talk) 14:26, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ribosome786 and Aryaputram7
  1. Acounts were created between 30 March - 4 April
  2. Both are heavily interested in Indian MILHIST
  3. DeepstoneV and Aryaputram7 are editing around Gupta Empire related articles
  4. DeepstoneV edits Aryaputram7's Draft:Battle of Eran [31]

Comments by other users

[edit]
Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.

I agree with that the first three seem to be socks, based off the given evidence, similar account creation dates, and single-purpose editing on Indian milhist articles. However, the recently added two, Ribosome786 and Aryaputram7 don't seem to be as there is no evidence for the former and the evidence for the latter is exclusively for editing the same draft, while it could just be that both editors are interested in the same topic. They did "talk" to each other on the draft's talk. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 12:59, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@HistoryofIran: What is your stance on this? You seem to have a lot of experience dealing with these recent Indian milhist editors, and based off your previous report, do you think that DeepstoneV, whom we encountered in the Gupta Empire reference dispute, and the other suspected socks are related to those mentioned in your report and thus a part of the same "Discord group"? Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 23:55, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Flemmish. For some reason I didn't get your ping, happened to get here by chance. I don't really know the other users, but DeepstoneV is certainly not part of the Discord group, as they keep clashing with its members. The listed users seems to be clashing with the Discord group too. Though I am pretty suspicious of Based Kashmiri [32], also notice that in the thread, Based Kashmiri stopped commenting after Malik-Al-Hind appeared, almost as if they substituted (weak evidence, but still, considering everything else). I'll see if I can find more. HistoryofIran (talk) 11:49, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The user in question is persistently disrupting Wikipedia and trying to push his PoV. Also he definitely seems to be using sockpuppetry. Might even be a sock of the indef blocked user Sudsahab perhaps? PadFoot2008

All of these are  Blocked and tagged. I did not check any of the other accounts because insufficient evidence was provided (or in some cases, no evidence was provided).
 Clerk assistance requested: I have no idea why this is filed here; please move to AdityaNakul. There are too many sockfarms active on the ranges these accounts are using to even make a guess as to who the master might be. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:45, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Based on these edits, I believe it is reasonable to assume there is a link between Patience54 and DeepstoneV. Adam Black talkcontribs 20:24, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • A recently created account that has surprisingly large overlap with the previous socks. [39]
  • Restoring sockpuppet edits across multiple articles. [40][41][42][43][44][45][46]

Sounds like a WP:DUCK to me. Ratnahastin (talk) 16:28, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Roberthooke003
@Blablubbs: These edits [68][69][70] of Roberthooke003 are exactly the same as Kemilliogolgi's block appeal(one of the confirmed socks). If they are not a sockpuppet then they certainly are a meatpuppet and should be blocked for performing proxy edits for a banned user(through possible off-wiki coordination).

  • Constructive45 is  Confirmed, blocked and tagged. Haven't checked Roberthooke003 myself but the log tells me that they're very unlikely or unrelated to this case. Closing. --Blablubbs (talk) 00:06, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hooke is confirmed to Kemilliogolgi, but in a different country than Constructive45. I dont have time to look into the causes of that this case's somewhat odd technical profile right now, but I have blocked the account. --Blablubbs (talk) 03:06, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • @MicrobiologyMarcus:  Additional information needed. 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.

Confirmed sock DeepstoneV removed this part [78], who was reverted here. This, apparently less used suspected sock reinstated DeepstoneV's edit here. Editing area overlaps. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 19:13, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In lieu of the ip's lack of reasoning and evidence, here is some for Dooblts being a sock:
  • Commented on my talk page multiple times without any previous interactions, including edit reversions; the only sock who has asked me for "assistance" (as in doing oddly specific things on Indian milhist articles) before on my talk page is DeepstoneV, a sock in this group.
  • Comments on my talk page claiming that most Rapjut articles "are lacking refrences and citations, relying on 1-2 sources only" and that I should "consider these for deletion"; obviously similar anti-Rajput and anti-Mewar behavior to that of this sockfarm; the same rhetoric is seen here: [79] [80] [81], and the similar anti-native Indian edit habits in general here: [82] [83] [84], including suggesting changing "Vijayanagara Empire" to "Vijayanagar Kingdom" [85].

First account created recently. Latter goes back to the sock master. Both have same pattern of publishing poorly written article i.e. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Hindustani Muslim Heroes, unironically the topic is Indo-muslim. Garudam Talk! 13:47, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
