Editzzzluther account was created at 15:28, 5 April 2021.
Nexusadams was created at 16:01, 5 April 2021, 33 minutes later.
Here Nexusadams adds content about a docuseries related to the Jaipur Pink Panthers kabaddi league. Editzzzluther later creates Draft:Sons of the Soil : Jaipur Pink Panthers.

So, the feeling I get from these odd coincidences, is that this is sock/meatpuppetry in the form of UPE.

In addition to that, Nexusadams created Draft:Bicchoo Ka Khel, likely in draft space because it had previously been deleted in live space as Bicchoo Ka Khel, having been created by prior sock drawers Chutrandi and ArthurCurry70. The creation of this draft is significant, because a day before that, this user created Chakravyuh – An Inspector Virkar Crime Thriller in live space. That suggests a conscious effort to try to throw off scrutiny.
Both have created perfunctory, no-frills user pages. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:12, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely). Same geolocation, different ranges. Same common user agent. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 06:22, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked and tagged Nexusadams suspected. I have agf sock warned both accounts (so hopefully seen on one or the other) with no action against the master at this time. Closing. TheSandDoctor ^Talk 17:29, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Moved Draft:Bicchoo Ka Khel, created by Nexusadams, to mainspace, so reporting as a sock of that master. However, has also edited Draft:Raat Baaki Hai, created by ArthurCurry70 sock WhatDaddyCool. Past versions of Bicchoo Ka Khel ‎ were created by ArthurCurry70 sock SadiqueSam and by Chutrandi sock Ritabharidevi, so I'm wondering if this is all part of one big farm. Checkuser requested in case any further light can be cast. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:19, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Right, mistake on my part: Nexusadams is blocked as a sock of Editzzzluther, so this should have opened as part of that investigation. I'm not even going to try to fix that myself, and so apologise for the extra work this'll cause for someone more capable. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:23, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked without tags - somebody's sock, but could be Editzzz or ArthurCurry. GeneralNotability (talk) 16:20, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
