Several examples of misleading edit summaries, such as Totapuri: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Totapuri&diff=prev&oldid=734418564 "spelling correction"] and Talk:Ronald Ross: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Ronald_Ross&diff=prev&oldid=734418612 "block evasion"].

I'll admit the evidence is pretty thin. I've personally had minimal interaction with the sockmaster only with the accused. I'm convinced that this editor has definitely had prior experience though.

For a new user,

• [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Hydloc009&dir=prev&target=Hydloc009 Initial edits] show quite good prior knowledge on how to edit (edit summaries, template editing (first edit), using talks pages, creating blank userpage and talk beforehand--the sockmaster's puppets used to do this as well)

• Hydloc009 is {{unrelated}}. However, Hydloc009 and {{checkuser|ה-זפר}} are {{confirmed}} to each other. There is a significant amount of article overlap between the two accounts. Interestingly, it is on Indian articles, whereas ה-זפר’s one-year block was for violations of their topic ban related to Palestinian-Israeli articles. Nonetheless, the behavioral and technical evidence is compelling. My plan therefore is to indefinitely block ה-זפר and to tag the two accounts as socks of each other.

Behavior of new user পেতনীপিসি (first edit 27 January 2017) is strikingly similar to that of sockpuppet ה-זפר (indef blocked 30 November 2016).

• Edits by পেতনীপিসি show remarkable sophistication for a new user. From day one they're using such edit summaries as "wikifying", "wikilinked", and "c/e", and formatting references with named {{tl|cite web}} templates. By their third day of editing they deploy templates including {{tl|third-party}}, {{tl|disputed}}, and {{tl|connected contributor}}, are changing (vandalizing?) a WikiProject template on a talk page, and using undo.
• Both used usernames in Bengali script (ה-זפר was named বব২৬ until 8 August 2016), which is uncommon on the English Wikipedia.
• Common pages edited include Bangla, Bangladesh, Talk:Bangladesh, Bengali language, and Languages of Bangladesh. The sockmaster also edited three of these.
• Both are fixated on edit warring to make the official_language infobox parameter on Bangladesh say "Bangla", with edit summaries obsessed with what the constitution says on the matter. As far as I can tell, these are the only two users to have pushed this point of view in the past several years.

• Actually, I opened my account in Bangla wiktionary two months back to contribute there. So I opened my account under the user name পেতনীপিসি in Bangla font as it's Bangla Wiktionary. Then some weeks later while visiting other wikipedias for research purpose, I found out that my account is opened automatically in all other Wikipedias. So I began occasionally contributing.
• Worldbruce said how I'm using templates so better; well, I'm a researcher; that's why I've been visiting wikipedia everyday for last 10 years.

The account is {{unrelated}}. I also need to note something related to the archive. On January 3, 2017, {{U|KrakatoaKatie|Katie}} found that Bbclenin and Nurealam10 were {{confirmed}} to each other and {{likely}} to the master based on "archival evidence". I agree that the two accounts were technically the same, but I don't agree with the {{likely}} finding. At best, I would have described the accounts as {{unlikely}} to the master. In other words, I'm not persuaded there is only one master. In addition, on January 29, 2017, {{U|NinjaRobotPirate}} blocked Stabens as a duck. Stabens matches Bbclenin and Nurealam10. In sum, the three accounts were properly blocked, but I don't want other CheckUsers to believe they are necessarily related to Kkm010.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:45, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

The ה-זפר (aka বব২৬) account edit warred with Redtigerxyz, removing reliable sources and deleting any mention of Sanskrit/Hindu calendar-related content regardless of what the WP:RS are stating ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bengali_calendar&diff=632696801&oldid=632680042 3], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bengali_calendar&diff=632677870&oldid=632671873 4], etc); Akib.H is doing the same in the Bengali calendar and Talk:Bengali calendar article where বব২৬ used to edit, and in the related Pahela Baishakh article ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bengali_calendar&diff=775861250&oldid=775849992 5], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pahela_Baishakh&diff=774314552&oldid=774313543 6], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pahela_Baishakh&diff=774317395&oldid=774316761 7], etc).

[C] The ignore-the-RS and forum-y style of ה-זפר (aka বব২৬) with Redtigerxyz seems similar to the style of Akib.H ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Bengali_calendar&diff=next&oldid=632806848 8], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Bengali_calendar&diff=next&oldid=632823731 9], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Pahela_Baishakh&diff=774319847&oldid=774319469 10], etc).

[D] The user:Kkm010 has been an active sock in 2016, with ה-זפר (aka বব২৬) one of the sock IDs active like Akib.H in the same article. Akib.H may be another sleeper account, because Akib.H had never edited either of the two articles before April 2017. I updated these in early April. Suddenly Akib.H [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Akib.H&offset=&limit=500&target=Akib.H reappears], restarts editing an article they have never edited before with considerable interest, deleting content just like ה-זפר (aka বব২৬) alleging personal knowledge ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pahela_Baishakh&diff=774315055&oldid=774314781 11], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bengali_calendar&diff=632696801&oldid=632680042 11a]), canvassing multiple accounts to help preserve the old version ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Gaurh&diff=prev&oldid=775453813 12], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Ayomoy&diff=prev&oldid=775453655 13], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Vinegarymass911&diff=prev&oldid=775453536 14]). Although these are accounts Akib.H has never or rarely interacted with before, and some of these other accounts have low activity on wikipedia, Akib.H calls them [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Pahela_Baishakh&diff=775491665&oldid=775476863 well-informed editors].

• {{u|Bbb23}} - I hadn't actually realised the batches of sleepers found in checks were mostly a couple of years ago or more, but if you look in the archives you'll see it did happen on a few consecutive occasions (you found 6 or 7 yourself [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Kkm010&diff=747806719&oldid=747800809 here] and there were some other 'batches' around that time).

• Yes, thanks for the ping. It looks like an obvious duck to me, just from my long experience of Kkm010. I haven't had time to do a thorough analysis to present here, but, as always, the user gives themself away by the combination of Indian ethnic/corporate/financial articles they edit, and the use of edit summaries like "scrapped" and "corrections done", "sources updated", which are idiosyncratic. Also they share the habit of the most recent sock editing "ideologies" of Indian political parties (and calling it that...)([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bharatiya_Janata_Party&diff=prev&oldid=920196475], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bharatiya_Janata_Party&diff=prev&oldid=919853277], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indian_National_Congress&diff=prev&oldid=913678856], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Liberal_Party_of_Australia&diff=prev&oldid=913151534] / [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bharatiya_Janata_Party&diff=prev&oldid=924995019], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aam_Aadmi_Party&diff=prev&oldid=925461235], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=All_India_Anna_Dravida_Munnetra_Kazhagam&diff=prev&oldid=925466438], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bahujan_Samaj_Party&diff=prev&oldid=925468329]).

The IP is also using the edit summary [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Chakra&diff=prev&oldid=1096554479 "cmt"] when removing or [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Chakra&diff=prev&oldid=1096554585 updating] projects on talk. Mariam57 [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Vishnu_Sahasranama&diff=prev&oldid=1095825689 did the same].

115.98.24.214 is doing the exact same in readding the WikiProject Asia to talk where it was removed, using the same edit summary as 115.98.179.41.

How on earth could you link me with other users just on the basis that WP discrimination was added to Hindutva articles? I mean, this is ridiculous. You've got to provide some hard evidence. I added WP Discrimination to two articles because, in the main article, discrimination against minority communities, especially Muslims, is evident. And for that, sources have also been provided. And you are linking me with other users, which is pretty strange. The basic tenets of Hindutva, or Hindu nationalism, are discriminatory by nature. I also noticed an entire article created on Hindutva terrorism. I mean, this is ridiculous. You've got to provide some hard evidence. I added WP Discrimination to one article because, in the main article, discrimination against minority communities, especially Muslims, is evident. And for that, sources have also been provided. And you are linking me with other users, which is pretty strange. And if you notice carefully, the majority of the organizations or people who adhere to Hindutva or Hindu nationalist ideology propagate hatred towards minority communities. I added a WP project to only one article, and on that basis, you are immediately linking with other users.--LinnéaBørresen (talk) 08:36, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Apparently, the user Glcris first started removing information on September 1st. Today, I noticed that this user also started removing the same information, while also providing a nearly identical edit summary. Please check to see if they are doing sockpuppetry.
