What's this?? I don't get it, why have you mentioned me.— Preceding unsigned comment added by R2dra (talk • contribs)
If this isn't a sockpuppetry, it would definitely be a meatpuppetry. How would a newly created user like User:BasedMaratha has the knowledge about reverting to a definite version, and editing about draft articles? Both User:BasedMaratha and User:R2dra are pushing POV for Rajput history, and when I made some edits and moves, they found that offensive and called me a Pro-Islamist. I don't even understand what "Pro-Islamic" move I made. Surely not an appropriate mindset for dealing with India-Pakistan contentious topic areas. Some of the articles I found both editing are
1. [7]:-R2dra gets a temporary block for edit warring, so BasedMaratha, a newly created account, making edits in favour of him [8]
2. Same here [9] R2dra gets banned, BasedMaratha editing for him [10]
3. Same story here [11], R2dra's blocked phase, BasedMaratha editing in favour of him [12]
4. Same again [13] and [14]
5. Again the same thing [15] and [16]
And per the nominator, can't unsee this as either a sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry. Adding a point that I wonder why none of the users who warned R2dra went for a AIV seeing all the disruptive editings they made. Once I took that to AIV, but a bot removed my report, I didn't follow that up.Imperial[AFCND] 14:46, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
User:R2dra is currently blocked due to disruptive editing. I made a comment on their talk page for calling an editor "jerk" for no reason [17]. And he replied with a harsh comment [18]. After few times, surprisingly, another account was created named User:Mughalised and replied with the same comment I made on their talk page, just by changing the targets, on another talk page, where R2dra is also involved [19]. Both are doing POV pushing for Mewar/Rajputs.--Imperial[AFCND] 13:17, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- Added an IP user rn. Pushing the same perspective of R2dra. Started editing the moment the sock account got banned. Edited the same article. Either a sock or meatpuppetry.--Imperial[AFCND] 08:45, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
- User: BasedMaratha has became suddenly active after the block of User:Mughalised. And pushed for reverting their version at here [20]. --Imperial[AFCND] 20:04, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
- I've blocked Mughalised without a tag. My interest was triggered by a report again them at WP:AN3. This report is a bit messy, and I have not had the time to look at the other suspected socks. I would like to highlight that there's been some confusing disruptive editing (including refactoring) to this report by Phoenixdad (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) and Advancings (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki).

- I suspect that Advancings is a sock in this case. I've reported Phoenixdad as a sock in Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Thakor Sumant Sinhji Jhala.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:59, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
- I guess I'm picking them off one by one. Blocked BasedMaratha without tags. Bbb23 (talk) 20:16, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
