Slow, sneaky spam. These accounts and IPs work in concert with each other adding brass-related spam from the set of links listed here Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spam#Conex India. One user adds a link and another covers it up with minor changes. See the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bronze&action=history history] of Bronze for prime example. Also trying to create linkfarms with sock user pages.

Users:

• {{checkuser|Darrendeng}} Apparently the head account.
• {{checkuser|Johnhardcastle}} Covered Darrendeng.
• {{checkuser|Johnhardcastl}} Welcomed by Johnhardcastle.
• {{checkuser|Urmilshah}} Readded links, welcomed by Darrendeng.
• {{checkuser|Ketanashah}} Covered by Darrendeng.
• {{checkuser|Nitinajain}} created spampage, 59.144.108.53 linked to it from another article

IPs involved: (both ranges from India)

• {{checkip|59.144.97.240}} Covered by Darrendeng, same link added by Urmilshah later.
• {{checkip|59.144.106.169}} Links dumped, covered by Darrendeng.
• {{checkip|59.144.108.53}} Links dumped, covered by Johnhardcastle.
• {{checkip|202.159.232.58}} Links dumped, covered 202.159.234.52.
• {{checkip|202.159.232.246}} edited userpage of 007deepak
• {{checkip|202.159.234.21}} Links dumped, caps changed.
• {{checkip|202.159.234.52}} Links dumped, minor changes.
• {{checkip|202.159.234.140}} Readded links.

Now, new users pop up whose only contribs are to create a userpage with a few links from this set:

• {{checkuser|007deepak}}
• {{checkuser|111anil}}
• {{checkuser|123rishabh}}
• {{checkuser|$nileshji}}

It was pretty obvious to begin with, but {{Confirmed}} nonetheless. Essjay (Talk) 12:14, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

:Nonetheless, a piece of evidence that I think is needed before I'm going to block all except Darrendeng as spam socks. Solid evidence of sockpuppetry will also be very useful for dealing with these links in the future. Thanks from WikiProject Spam! Femto 12:43, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
