Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

Considering this person's anti-Indian and anti-Hindu bias and blatant hatred as can be seen in edits by the previous sock here, here here. The edit summary here makes their identity clear which seems to be a continuation. Also notice the obvious hatred against Hindus shown by the new user's name Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:07, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Added interaction. I would urge admins to protect the Kho people article for now. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:10, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

IP like the sock seems to be POV some sort of racialist agenda. Note how the sock master POV pushed Historical Vedic Religion (religion of supposed original Indo-Aryans) [1] and the IP pushed "pure Indo-Aryan race" [2]. Also notice similar edits [3] and [4]. Interaction [5]. Requesting Check User since I believe other new users and IPs with 118.107* using Special Communication Organization ISP might be active.

IP has the same agenda to POV push Historical Vedic Religion as the sock master [6], [7] Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:19, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This edit summary is a dead giveaway. Similar racist rant on "Aryan" and "white" made by confirmed sock here. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 07:49, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This edit by 118.107.130.74 has been restored here by 118.107.130.75.
Considering multiple IPs active now in the article, I would like to request Check User. Other IPs with 118.107* using Special Communication Organization ISP might be active as well. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:26, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Account created after sock Patriotpk was blocked per NOTHERE and later as a sock.

Same interest on Kho people for starters,[8][9] but engages in copyright violations just like his account Identityanddifference.[10] Orientls (talk) 04:10, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yup. Seems like the sockmaster, similar copyvios, similar interest in Kho article, et al. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:07, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Unlikely, compared to previous confirmed socks. ST47 (talk) 12:01, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • If they’re still being disruptive on their own, ask an admin familiar with the area to block them or take it to WP:ANI. Closing. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:25, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Has a habit of copy-pasting things from the source [11], [12]. Considering this new user's name and activity centred around Shina people article, I doubt it is a sock. Interaction here Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:03, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Clerk note: I am not willing to block at this time - the username hits two of I&D's interests (the Shina and the Kho) and they do copy text from papers they're citing, but I don't believe that the evidence is strong enough to support a block based on behavioral evidence (and all known socks are stale). Closing for now. GeneralNotability (talk) 19:16, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    GeneralNotability, Shinakho is tagged, but not blocked. From your comment above, I assume they should be untagged? -- RoySmith (talk) 01:01, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    RoySmith, yeah...I have no idea how I managed to do that. I've untagged (deleted the page, in fact). GeneralNotability (talk) 01:02, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
