Requesting CheckUser. The edits appear very similar. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 17:42, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Further assistance required. Samsul is persistently vandalizing National Institute of Textile Engineering and Research, which is where the supposed sockpuppetry took place. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 19:20, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A little update on this investigation. I've found accounts that may have added similar promotional material. I think these are the older accounts here.

@Winged Blades of Godric: Is there a way these accounts are connected? jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 19:27, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Samsul.haque: This is what we call a conflict of interest. Editors must declare if they have a connection with the subject of an article before making edits. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 19:33, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to JD:--(Original question at my talk)--Staleness could be a problem(Except the 1st).Obvious conclusion is that they are all employed by the university.But I pretty much doubt about either of the bunch of editors ever returning! Joy Hasan APU may be blocked as a semi-active meat-puppet along with the orig. two editors.Winged Blades^Godric 12:56, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmed Samsul.haque (talk · contribs) and Opi9516 (talk · contribs) are the same editor. I think it's a different group from Riyal.khan though (i.e. not one master). - Mailer Diablo 19:16, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Indeffing sock and blocking master 72 hours. That was no colleague. Closing.
