===Suspected SKS socks===
*{{Checkuser|Yes2004}}
*{{Checkuser|DarkType}}
Same username style, editing style, and subject of editing as [[User:Vermont/Reports/Shiwam Kumar Sriwastaw|previous SKS socks]]. They've been inactive on this Wikipedia for a few months (or perhaps evading being noticed), and have been [[:en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Shiwam Kumar Sriwastaw|active on the English Wikipedia]]. Both users have edited and created topics about Ekta Kapoor and related people, which historically has been the target of SKS (and very few constructive users). Thank you, [[User:Vermont|Vermont]] ([[User talk:Vermont|talk]]) 11:26, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
:Blocked indefinitely, per evidence on their talk page (it's design) and editing style. [[User:Vermont|Vermont]] ([[User talk:Vermont|talk]]) 23:13, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

:*I am sorry to say so, but I have no indicatioin that these were used to violate any policy; editing an article that later gets deleted is no reason to perofrm a checkuser.--[[User:Eptalon|Eptalon]] ([[User talk:Eptalon|talk]]) 17:44, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
:::Yes, but attempting to vote twice in an RfD is against policy. Two of the accounts above commented on the RfD with the exact same phrasing. All three are new accounts editing on the same non-notable subject which had previously garnered no attention. I find it highly unlikely they are different people.

*{{Checkuser|SuperShadez}}
*{{Checkuser|GeekyGeezer}}
I'm about 90% certain SuperShadez is JRS based off of their first edit to the RfD of a page created by JRS, userpage content similar to JRS socks, and the addition of a talk page header to their user talk in custom with JRS socks. I'm not comfortable making a duck block yet, so I'd like to request a check on these two accounts to see if they are related. Thank you, [[User:Vermont|Vermont]] ([[User talk:Vermont|talk]]) 22:43, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
:Recent events have caused me to be confident in duck blocking the account. [[User:Vermont|Vermont]] ([[User talk:Vermont|talk]]) 21:51, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

===Shaunak Chakraborty editors===
*{{Checkuser|Kumar Nadim}}
*{{Checkuser|Rahulkumar983127}}
Two relatively new accounts used to develop [[Shaunak Chakraborty]]; both !voted in the RfD with the same grammatical style, ending their first sentence with "should not be delete". Also see [[:en:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shaunak Chakraborty]] and [[:en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Annoimot]]. The AfD on enwiki had multiple socks !voting in it, and they were CU confirmed, where the socks also used the wording "should not be delete" in their keep reasons. I'll note that Kumar Nadim's user page starts with "A Editor from Jaipur, Rajasthan." and one of the CU confirmed socks on enwiki, Shivangi646, has "A editor from Punjab" starting their userpage. [[User:Vermont|Vermont]] ([[User talk:Vermont|talk]]) 10:11, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
:I'll also note that the lead of the deleted enwiki article (deleted October 3rd) is the same lead as the one created here by Kumar Nadim. [[User:Vermont|Vermont]] ([[User talk:Vermont|talk]]) 10:17, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

::::Sorry my bad I didn't even notice the two I found weren't the two you reported. Too early in the morning. They are in the same country but a fair distance apart from the other two. So its possible. I will leave that up to you as an admin as its not supper conclusive but behaviour could be a duck. -[[User:Djsasso|DJSasso]] ([[User talk:Djsasso|talk]]) 13:34, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
:::::Thanks for the info. It's a possible meatpuppet then, although considering they both include "Kumar" (which is popular as I understand but still an odd coincidence) and their actions are very nearly the same. If it becomes more evident I'll look into a duck block. Thanks, [[User:Vermont|Vermont]] ([[User talk:Vermont|talk]]) 13:43, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
:{{ping|Vermont}} Be aware that the "same grammatical style" you mention might merely be Indian English. That version of English is a bit different than we are used to seeing. It has a different tone, and things are said in different ways. It's very possible that multiple people using this version of English could sound the same. --[[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6|talk]]) 18:21, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
::Yes. Two editors using the same style of English on the same pages at the same time with the same objective. [[User:Vermont|Vermont]] ([[User talk:Vermont|talk]]) 18:34, 30 October 2018 (UTC)


=== Pontifical editors ===
*{{Checkuser|MartinJamesPogi}}
*{{Checkuser|SIMPLE LANG PO AKO}}
*{{Checkuser|LegoRoblox}}
*{{Checkuser|Simple Lang Ako}}
Accounts share the same editing pattern, including the same sort of messages left on administrators'  and editors' talk pages with a section title of "Read this please" or some variant. Accounts edit articles pertaining to popes, as well as capitalizing the first letters of words in the same fashion in talk page messages. Thus, probably socks. But, they don't seem to be using these accounts for blatantly nefarious purposes, and stopped using one account before using the next, so I'm not completely sure on how this should be handled. Thanks, [[User:Vermont|Vermont]] ([[User talk:Vermont|talk]]) 02:34, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
:If they don't appear to be doing anything wrong I can't actually do a check for socking because it is not against the rules to have multiple accounts. It is only against them if they were using them to avoid scrutiny, or block evasion, or being disruptive etc. Sounds like you looked through their edits and found nothing disruptive so you can consider this closed unless I am mistaken and they were doing something not on the up and up. -[[User:Djsasso|DJSasso]] ([[User talk:Djsasso|talk]]) 02:54, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
::Okay, thanks! I'll continue watching their edits. [[User:Vermont|Vermont]] ([[User talk:Vermont|talk]]) 02:58, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
:::If their edits start overlapping on the same articles at the same time then let me know, as that is a more grey area as you aren't really supposed to edit with two accounts in the same area unless you have disclosed the two accounts. But seeing as how their edits are all different time periods, if they they were the same person it almost looks like they are creating an account each time they edit. -[[User:Djsasso|DJSasso]] ([[User talk:Djsasso|talk]]) 03:00, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

This user and their socks have consistently been trying to get themselves and their apparently related family members on Wikipedia (ours and the English one) for some time now.  There have been articles which have had to be salted, multiple RFDs and there is already Intel from the English Wikipedia that this is a sock farm. There is an active RFD where two of these users have contributed, and I believe them to be the same person. The user FPMovaghar has also published a list of articles they have made, tying them to other accounts. [[User:DaneGeld|DaneGeld]] ([[User talk:DaneGeld|talk]]) 16:59, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

Another "Movaghar" from the family has appeared tonight and is up for RFD, and so far, all of the Movaghar's which have made it here, have all been from Parissa Official's socks, doing a bit of family self promotion.

Insertion of adult links to an Escort agency on [[Cologne]] ([https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cologne&diff=prev&oldid=6050705 diff]) - duplicated each others work despite reversion by myself, reinserted same link.

::{{yo|Auntof6}} - I would say that the reason I haven't warned them is that I was going on advice I've had in the past about reverting and ignoring, re.  WP:RBI at the English Wikipedia, except I can't block them.  A couple of things struck me as ducky with them, like the 19s in their usernames, adding the exact same link in the same place, etc, so I brought it here as possible socks.

:I would say you could block as a duck, at the very worst they are meatpuppet spammers.

Coming here from en.wiki where I have documented their sock puppetry violations. I can also see some violation of multiple accounts here as well, for example tag bombing same articles:

::The ‘evidence’ presented here was not worth enough to warrant a CheckUser in my opinion. In all these diffs, I had edited first and the timings were around the creation of the articles. Nevertheless, what I did was not ‘tag bombing’. Here on this page, it’s written that {{red|there must be a valid reason to check a user. Note that alternative accounts are not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of the policies (for example, to vote more than once or to make it look like more people support an idea).}} Hence, I am not convinced the request was eligible to be entertained on ''Simple Wikipedia'' even on the basis of both assumptions. <span style="background-color:#ffffff;border: 1px solid;">[[User:Samee|'''<span style="color:#000000; background-color:#ffffff">&nbsp;samee&nbsp;</span>''']]</span><sup>[[User talk:Samee| talk]]</sup> 13:42, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
:::I did a cross check, even though the "violations" do probably not warrant checking: Yes, both of them geolocate to the same area in Asia. One of the problems is that the area in question is quite densely populated. With tthe evidence we have, concluding both editors are the same person is difficult to impossible; also note that the "tag bombing" mentioned is no clear case of vandalism. In that sense I conclude that likely, they are not the same user.--[[User:Eptalon|Eptalon]] ([[User talk:Eptalon|talk]]) 08:30, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
