Rao And Sapru

Suspected sockpuppets

[edit]

This looks like the same user. They created the account at the end of last month, made some random edits, and wrote a couple of articles. Then they posted Vinay Sapru, where the possible master was active before it was deleted. The suspected sock then contested the deletion, saying, "this page is not written from a fan's point of view like the previous one and the tone is neutral as well," which I find strange since they seem to know about the issues with the previous article. When asked, they said, "used to edit Wikipedia directly from my IP address ," which seems suspicious. Additionally, I've noticed that their use of edit summaries is very similar to the master's.

The master created Naveen Pandita. M S Hassan moved it to draft space. The master moved it back. M S Hassan tagged it for deletion, and I declined the WP:A7. It was later retagged by a different editor, which I declined because the retagging is against policy. M S Hassan redirected it to some program the actor is in, and the master came to my Talk page to ask for my help.

I then noticed that the master and Simonkatichaus contested the A7 on the article Talk page with almost precisely the same language. I asked the master on my Talk page whether they were related to Simon, and they denied it.

Although that is the only page on which the two users intersect, the topics they edit (Indian entertainment-related articles, bios and products), the things they do (both created new articles), their edit summaries ("Added a" whatever), and their editing platform (visual editor and mobile) are the same. I am therefore requesting a CU to confirm. Bbb23 (talk) 15:45, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

One more thing. Dimitri Mascarenhas and Simon Katich are both cricketers.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:50, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
