Dheeraj budhori

Popped up in defence of the article at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dheeraj Budhori, which is an auto-bio article. Some using "#suggestededit-add 1.0" edit summaries to build up edit counts on other articles. Suspicious about user Henrycruise01 too, but less convinced is a sock.

In additional, I just noticed that TishKit is also listed at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Wanderer kanishk, but seems unconnected to that. -Kj cheetham (talk) 23:34, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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

CheckUser requested and endorsed by clerk - looks likely that these are the same person; since there are at least 4 accounts involved and they are using tactics to game their edit count, it's reasonable to suspect that there might be more. Please CU to confirm and check for others. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 11:15, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On a purely technical evaluation, all four of these are Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely) to each other. They all geolocate to the same city, use mobile devices, and have some other similarities, but nothing that can get me close to confirming. Behavioural evidence needs evaluation I did not look at Henrycruise01 or attempt a sleeper check. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:04, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
PS, I assume "#suggestededit-add 1.0" is a software-generated string from some piece of editing software, but I don't recognize it. Where does it come from? -- RoySmith (talk) 16:15, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
RoySmith - it's an Android app feature, see mw:Wikimedia_Apps/Suggested_edits. Spicy (talk) 16:19, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
They're either the same or closely coordinating (the timing is fairly instructive here). Blocked and tagged, closing. --Blablubbs (talk) 17:19, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
