Same idiosyncrasies and same interest around Indian news media. For example, compare Special:Diff/1069308399 with Special:Diff/1049495336 or Special:Diff/1069422692 with Special:Diff/1049512570.

Same edits at Arvind Kejriwal with the same edit summary. Same topic areas for editing. Both started editing because of The Kashmir Files kerfuffle. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:18, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lelemera is already blocked as a sock of DavidWood11, but by adding that account to the list, it gets added to Editor Interaction Utility.

Ddd421 is an account created to remove stuff unfavourable to the BJP (the political party of the Indian government). It does not behave like a new account. Its main actions, so far, have been to attempt to get two articles deleted:

The first AFD for Tek Fog: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tek Fog was started by Lelemera (confirmed sock of DavidWood11)

Anatoli eye is another new account, which appears to be linked to Ddd421 (though I do not know if they are a sock or a meat puppet). Their first edit was this one to support the AFD of Attack on Delhi Chief Minister's house Even though it is a "new" account, they can cite policies in their first post!

Both Ddd421 and Anatoli eye have collaborated on Draft:Gorakhnath temple attack - revision history -- Toddy1 (talk) 10:43, 13 April 2022 (UTC) -- Toddy1 (talk) 10:43, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • DavidWood11's sock Special:Contributions/Ghodbunder was blocked on 19 June by RoySmith.
  • Nalasopara was created on 19 June.

I can see some more behavior similarities, but I believe this should be enough for CU to establish sockpuppetry and look for other socks by the master. Venkat TL (talk) 10:06, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I do not know whether Maduadih is a sock of DavidWood11, but I think there is enough evidence to justify using checkuser. He/she has similar interests to socks of DavidWood11. There are differences between the kind of edits that DavidWood11's LodoVena sock did to NDTV,[4][5][6] than the kind listed below by a group of editors who all seem to have had exactly the same opinion.

Clearly not a new user, they made their first edits on the talkpage of ANI vs WMF open letter like the last set of socks such as Djano Chained[23], Zubehamoreha [24] and TracyVaghmare91 [25]. Zubehamoreha posted the latest news update in the section 'Note from Jimbo', Upd Edit posted in the same section about a similar news update. [26] and like the last few socks such as Phonomannoba[27], Lullipedia[28] and Dopacane[29] they are also a single purpose account solely dedicated to promoting hindutva narrative on Sambhal Mosque issue [30][31]. They are also involved in a heated content dispute with Aliyiya5903 on Shahi Jama Masjid, DavidWood11's previous sock Lullipedia also reported Aliyiya5903 to ANI [32] after having a content dispute with them on the same issue on 2024 Sambhal Violence. DavidWood11 socks and Upd Edit were previously brought to ANI over socking suspicions [33][34], Same old forumshopping [35][36].- Ratnahastin (talk) 10:26, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Nonsense. I have no idea about these accounts, my political inclinations are as distant from Hindutva as possible, and I challenge Ratnahastin to find a single edit where I have misrepresented a source. If I had much sympathy for the Hindutva-vadis, I, for certain, won't have bothered to add details about a previous lawsuit where "the witness for the Hindu side were noted to be of a 'poor quality'" or talk about Hindutva-driven persecution of Muslims?

    In Indian media (incl. the diaspora), the Wikipedia/GOI tussle and the Sambhal Mosque has drawn / been drawing significant coverage across media. So, new editors are to be expected. That Aliyiya5903 reverted my edits, edit-warred, and opened a spurious ANI thread (where Kautilya3 notes that their edits were so disruptive that he thought about taking them to Arbitration Enforcement Noticeboard but chose to gave them a last chance!) just as they might have done with other editors do not imply that we are socks; else, Aliyiya5903 can go on targeting others and upon being reverted, claim collusion/socking!

    Ratnahastin knows the truth as well and is merely hoping to win a content dispute by laying bogus socking charges. And that I am having a favorable editorial interaction with Kautilya3, who was also accused to be my sock at the ANI discussion, requesting him to take a look at this SPI doesn't "forum-shopping" make.Upd Edit (talk) 11:52, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I primarily edit from Ontario and depending on work load, through a workstation premised at a Nordic university. However, while I have spent close to a decade in N.A., I am not a native speaker. Thanks, Upd Edit (talk) 14:14, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Red X Unrelated. I don't think Upd Edit is DavidWood11. They are editing from completely different locations, and while there is some behavioral overlap, I feel that Upd Edit's writing style demonstrates a native understanding of English, whereas the socks of DavidWood11 have frequent spelling/grammatical errors, e.g. [37][38]. no Closing without action.
