[edit]Suspected sockpuppets

The first 2 IPs geolocate to Kozhikode, Kerala, while the third seemingly goes to an unnamed place near Ernakulam, about 150 kilometres (93 mi) south.
On 9 October 2020, എപ്പോഴും രാജാവ് (talk · contribs) filed an SPI against Outlander07 (talk · contribs) regarding 3 unrelated dynamic IPs in the extremely broad 2409:4073:0:0:0:0:0:0/34 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), none of which had edited since July ([can be viewed here].) On 6 November, Outlander07 posted a comment on the talk page of എപ്പോഴും രാജാവ്, accusing them of being a sock of an unspecified IP who allegedly edit-warred against them in May at various Ezhava-related pages.
Then on 31 July 2021, 117.221.188.173 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) opened another SPI against Outlander07, which is still open at this time, again typing them to the same /34 range. In addition to the 3 formally mentioned in the case, they name-dropped 2409:4073:31C:E2E9:C9EE:7661:E655:345F (talk · contribs · WHOIS), an IP from Thrissur whose only edit was this diff to Panicker, immediately after Outlander07 had reverted a similar edit by a Bahrain IP. They spammed 4 edits, plus 34 more from 117.222.163.68 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), to file 2 SPI's: this one and another attempting to connect Outlander2017 to Rabt man (talk · contribs), an editor who last edited in 2016. The Rabt man SPI was closed a priori by a clerk, and may be viewed here.
At the same time, 106.208.10.29 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) canvassed me to the Outlander07 SPI, also alleging a connection to Rabt man. It is unclear how they found me, but I was involved in an ANI and a subsequent SPI against another pro-Ezhava POV-pushing sock network.
Of note is that none of the users suspected of being socks, aside from 117.222.163.68, who re-submitted Draft:Ex-Muslims from Kerala (quickly rejected as non-notable) and added their logo to Ex-Muslims. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 09:48, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
- @LaundryPizza03 I believe you mean Draft:Ex-Muslims of Kerala. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:03, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

[edit]- At this point, none of these IPs have edited in a month, so closing. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:26, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
