Suspected sockpuppets

Like the last 2 sockpuppets of this user, this user is trying to change the history of many battles to decisive sikh victories, claiming the content in these pages is unsourced, and starting all their posts with "Sir, this is falsified content". here, here, here, here. This behaviour is almost identical to User:Ak107839, who is a confirmed sockpuppet of User:Amanharleen. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:41, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanjagenije: Some of User:Ak107839 diffs: here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here,here. This is a selection of their contributions, but all their edits were about Sikh battles/falsified content. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:02, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Same requests on the same pages in the same style, uding same/similar sources. here, here, here, here. Comparing with the diffs from 1 April investigation (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Amanharleen/Archive), it seems like a duck to me. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:45, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Same editing of history to Sikh victory, same sources as the other socks. See for example here, here, here, here. Seems like a duck to me. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:42, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The main account is User:Amanharleen (the sock master). The corresponding account Sukhleenkoyr has already been banned because of using multiple accounts. Now, this new IP address has popped up. User:Sukhleenkoyr had requested me for help saying Wikipedia blocks her again and again. Check this out for evidence - Message 1. Here, she clearly states being a sock puppet user.

Now, why I think this IP Address is a sock puppet- This IP Address had only three contributions BEFORE sending me a message. She sent me a message regarding help (Message 2) to check the truthfulness of the article Siege of Sirhind. Two questions arise here: i) From where did she get my account and trusted me for help when this is a new user and we have never had common contributions, or talks. Moreover, I am not even an admin. So basically, I was the first person the user got for help because she had talked to me from previous accounts. ii) Why did she had same typing, writing or grammar habits as the other two accounts had? For example, in the above two messages that she sent me from different accounts, she had a habit of not giving a title to the message, writing 'Sir' again and again, capitalizing only the first letter of the sentence, writing with the same tone.

The last evidence, all the three accounts have been active mainly on Sikhism related articles. This user must be investigated for sock-puppetry on the evidence above. Thanks! Kashish Arora (talk) 09:02, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • The content of the message on your talkpage seems to be exactly the same style as with other socks, the key similarities being that they start it with "Sir" (which I've never seen another user do), and claims sourced information about Sikh Battles is fake. Seems like a duck to me. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:12, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Joseph2302: The user here looks like trying to show respect whenever she wants a favour. I observed this a lot times! When she first messaged me, she was angry and anxious when I reverted her edit. At that time, there was no 'Sir'. The next time when the user knew that I am confident about the reversion, and that User:Richard Harvey had told me about the sock-puppetry, she requested and used 'Sir'. This has happened in many more cases. Sounds like a duck quacking into a megaphone to me--Kashish Arora (talk) 17:32, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: Yes, indeed. Her writing style is similar, and all accounts are interested in the Siege of Sirhind (see: [1], [2], [3]).  Looks like a duck to me. Vanjagenije (talk) 13:47, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Same fake alternative history edits, and also starting every sentence with "Sir", like only the sockpupppets do. See for example here,here, here, here. Seems like a duck to me. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:13, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Same made-up/poorly sourced edits as before. See [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], Battle of Anandpur (1701), First Battle of Chamkaur (deleted). Obvious WP:DUCK, all these pages have been frequented at some point by Amanharleen socks. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:14, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Same fake Sikh history, editing similar articles to other socks, and creating similar "Decisive Sikh Battle" Pages, and referring to people as Sir. Battle of Sialkot (1761), [13], [14], List of the Sikhs Hanged During Indian National Movement, [15], Battle of Sialkot (1763). Seems like a duck to me. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:40, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also, Battle of Gohalwar. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:16, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Similar Sikh history edits. Created Battle of Gohalwar (as another sock also did), and Battle of Sialkot. Also, unverified, pro-Sikh history changes [25], [26], [27], [28]. Seems like a duck to me. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:32, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Diffs:
Battle of Sarsa: Them: [29], other socks:[30], [31]
Battle of Bhangani Them: [32], other socks: [33], [34]
Ahmad Shah Durrani Them: [35], other socks: [36], [37].

All the pages they're frequenting are the same as socks of Amanharleen, with a number of similar edits. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:38, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No CU needed I believe, just fast intervention in order to prevent more damage. I'm 100% sure it's another sock of him. Same exact edit summaries, exact same article interests (Mughals/Indian history), same broken English, and most importantly, reinstating the exact same info confirmed socks of him added.

Two confirmed socks of of Amanharleen added this [38],[39]
And Delhibaghelsingh added this [40]. LouisAragon (talk) 06:37, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Amanharleen has a history of being a sock-puppet on Wikipedia (i.e. see Shah439). The user has a history of using multiple accounts to distort information in the Mughal-Sikh Wars category and articles pertaining to this topic. An example may be seen in the attempt to include the Battle of Basoli in the list, without providing any source to prove that there was any Mughal involvement (see [41],[42],[43]). The user has also published a variety of articles, while making up information that is not stated in the source. See for example [44]. Xtremedood (talk) 09:42, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Both user:Chotaaman and user:106.192.185.219 are removing 'speedy delete' templates that exist to remove article made by a sockpuppet of Amanharleen. These articles are [45], [46], [47]. user:Delhibaghelsingh has been exposed as a sockpuppet of user:Amanharleen. See the diffs here: [48], [49], [50], [51], etc.
Update: The user seems to have made a new account called user:106.192.159.98, as shown by this edit [52]
Added new user that started reverting Xtremedood's edits. --Kansas Bear (talk) 11:36, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Clearly a new puppet-fest by this long-term vandaliser. Note how user "Chotaaman" reinstated the exact same info here which has been reinstated by at least 3-4 already indeffed socks of Amanharleen on that article.([53] - [54] - [55])
Btw, mods, could you please list all the articles he has created by his sock armies for speedy deletion? Everytime he gets back one of the first thing this puppet master does is creating a load of articles, that don't get listed for (speedy) deletion.

I came across this while G5 deleting some of the earlier banned creations and the account appears to have been created after Euryalus CU check. Bringing here as someone with knowledge of the master can evaluate and block and/or do a CU as I've noticed multiple active accounts per past SPI. This, these etc seem to indicate a sock. —SpacemanSpiff 11:44, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
