Obvious UPE inserting spam links to zee5.com, and clearly the same person: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. It seems likely that there are other socks as well which I couldn't unearth by regular means, so a CU would be helpful. Shane Norton has also added spam links to dream11.com. bonadea contributions talk 14:49, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

[edit]- Some of the accounts below are spamming a different domain, myntra.com. A couple are doing straight-up UPE. That makes the behavioral analysis more difficult.

Can't blacklist zee5.com. As for the other two, they have rather spammy articles that reek of covert advertising. MER-C 18:38, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

Account name a partial match to master; search on name links to a business called Infidigit Consultants, which does SEO work for a number of clients, including Zivame which this account created and those named in the first SPI filing. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:26, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

- Compare Draft:Zivame (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) and Zivame (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) as well. – Athaenara ✉ 21:04, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
- Previous socks have also been focused on the show "Lockdown", e.g. [6], [7], [8]. Cf this account's latest edit here. --bonadea contributions talk 10:38, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

Registered not too long after the last batch, recreated Draft:Zivame. Also similar edit summaries to this account "small english" etc.... Praxidicae (talk) 17:11, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

CheckUser requested and endorsed by clerk - Please check against Vishgohel (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki). Thanks, GABgab 09:17, 26 March 2019 (UTC) - The technical evidence in this case subsequent to the opening of the case back in September 2018 has been less helpful. I would explain why except I'm concerned about WP:BEANS. That said, I think it's fair to say that Killer0709 is Confirmed to at least Vishgohel, and that Sharmasunita (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) is a reasonable technical match and the edits to Dream11 clinch it behaviorally. Blocked and tagged both accounts. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:00, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
