I am sure that these three are in fact connected: Creation of articles named after themselves, both tried to rm speedies, and inserted stuff exactly in the same style on Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback.

I've found that Vanjagenije put an IP used on Hindi Wikipedia. For this, I think that we should reopen this. It looks like that this case also involve cross-wiki abuse (w:en:, w:hi: and commons:). NasssaNser (^talk/_edits) 03:23, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

These are DUCKS, and already blocked, but I am filing in order to request a Checkuser for possible sleepers.

Apart from the similarity of names, these accounts have created similar self-promotional pages to the others. Also, like every one of the other sockpuppets except Dharmendra bansal singh, they has posted inappropriate content at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback.

These are totally obvious sockpuppets, and are blocked, but I am filing this case to ask for a Checkuser, as the sockmaster has started using sleepers. At first, a new account was created each time an old one was blocked, but the latest four accounts (Dharmendra bansal singh, Tiger bansal, Dharmendra kumar singhbharat and Dharmendra vinod bansal) were all created without waiting for one of them to be blocked before creating another. Two of those accounts (Dharmendra kumar singhbharat and Dharmendra vinod bansal)

did not edit until Tiger bansal was blocked. This indicates that the sockmaster has started using sleepers, so a CU in case of more sleepers would be welcome. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 12:49, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Like above; an already blocked duck, but requesting a checkuser for new accounts. Unfortunately, I have no diffs because his only edit was removing a speedy deletion template. 96.237.20.186 (talk) 12:56, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

WP:DUCK. Created and/or edited Dharmendra banshal and Dharmendra banshal bhartiy; in the latter article they also tried to present the person as a member of the Lok Sabha (which is demonstrably false). bonadea contributions talk 14:27, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

I can't see the deleted versions from previous socks, but this looks like an obvious block-evading duck - see newly created self-promotion at Dharmendra bansal ramsiya. The other article Satyadev Katare might be a legitimate topic, but the user should request an unblock from his original account if he wants to contribute (and stop disruptive editing obviously). I have left the user a talkpage message, in case he wants to comment here. GermanJoe (talk) 06:30, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

:Added 1 more - same MO with empty VE feedback and newly created Dharmendra rakesh shukla bansal (although the topic itself may be legit, the title appears to be mislabelled / vandalism). GermanJoe (talk) 09:26, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

Obvious ducks. Recreation of Dharmender bansal and Dharmendra bansall, deletion of speedy deletion tags, similar account names, empty VE feedback. Please do a CU for named accounts: the Bansal account dates from January - there may be sleepers from the last two months. GermanJoe (talk) 08:06, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
