Same editing area (Ror; Neeraj Chopra; Teontha, Kaitha). Similar addition of kshatriya/warrior caste POV in the article [3] [4] [5]. Substantial interaction for a few day old sock [6]. - Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 09:12, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
Edits concern mostly the Rors' ancestry and people with the surname Ror, except for Draft:KC Seedpuriya. Examples include [12], their own userpage, Draft:Rahul Turan, and Draft:Ancestral North India (deleted per G12, like four revisions of Draft:Rahul Turan). Grammar and spelling are mediocre, and the username means "Anuj Ror Haryana" in Hindi. – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 16:24, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
Diffs linked for each username: Anuj Choudhary Ror and Rudradaman127 making the same edit, similar edits back in 2022 from 103.48.65.132. All three have been editing similar pages: 103.48.65.132 and Anuj Choudhary Ror both editing Rohri, with Rudradaman127 having the exact same agenda as them without ever editing the page. Also see the interaction timeline, with no overlap between the timing of their edits. ( Roundish ⋆ t) 14:37, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Similar user name (Anuj Choudhary Ror) and same editing area (Ror related). Linked user Rudradaman127 which might be another sock since substantial interaction. Editor interaction here - [15]. Requesting CU. Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 09:02, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
Anuj Choudhary Ror is obvious per the diffs listed by me here in the SPI which has been removed now. Copy-pasting from my request -

I believe I've encountered two sockpuppets associated with this case, both reverting to restore the edits made by User:Anuj Choudhary Ror to Iron pillar of Delhi. I had undone that editor's changes because they were harmful, and only later found that they were a blocked sockpuppet. The accounts I am now reporting are:
Darya2023 has a singular focus on Anna Oleksandrivna Katrulina, previously created by Fancy vibēs, a confirmed sock. See also Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Darya2023. Yamla ( talk) 13:30, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
Exact same interest in the niche topic of creating articles on clans (sub-castes) of the Gurjar caste in India (also covered under WP:CASTE sanctions). The writing, referencing styles etc. are the same as well, see for e.g. Baniya (clan) and Vania clan by the sock and Hun clan and Tomar Gurjar (clan) by the master.
While the connection of these accounts is pretty apparent asking for CU to further verify this and see if this is part of a previous CASTE-based sock network. Gotitbro ( talk) 17:53, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
Similar to Fancy vibēs, O Chawal is also editing pages related to Gurjar castes, Turkish dynasties, and Muslim tribes. Both users prefer to edit similar topics and have created hoax articles associating certain dynasties with Gurjars. For instance, Fancy vibēs added Gurjara words to the Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty page here, while O Chawal created the Pratihara (clan) article and inserted the same Gurjar POV information. These actions mirror those of Fancy vibēs and previous socks. Both of them have edited many same pages.
Additionally, the edit summaries of both users are similar, including words such as Rmv ( Diff1, Diff2), inclusion ( Diff3, Diff4, Diff5, Diff6), colonial era (( Diff7, Diff8) and Good faith ( Diff9, Diff10). O Chawal also removed content from caste-related articles by referencing the WP:RAJ essay in the summary, a tactic similar to Fancy vibēs ( Diff11, Diff12).
O Chawal requested protection for the Pratihara (clan) page at WP:RFPP, emulating the actions of Fancy Vibes, who had done the same for the Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty.( Diff13, Permlink)
Fancy Vibes nominated Dewal Pratiharas for deletion, and O Chawal added a delete vote in the AfD. – DreamRimmer ( talk) 12:27, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
Fancy vibēs created their account in February 2022 but began editing on 2 October, 2023, making over 2,200 edits in just 20 days. Fancy vibēs recreated the Hun (clan) ( Hun clan) page, which was previously created by masters User:Johnbendenz and User:Bensebgli. Additionally, Fancy vibēs created other Gurjar clan articles using Javed Rahi's books as sources, following a similar approach to that of master Bensebgli's socks, User:Oku Ali and User:أسامة بن عبد الله وليد, who previously created similar Gurjar POV-pushing articles on subjects like Maitrak, Pratihara clan, Kushan clan, and Chalukiya, among others.

WP:Duck, apart from the glaring evidences raised above which includes using non-reliable Javed Rahi as a source, they are also citing Rahul Khari just like previous socks. Abecedare is not around from last few months, who is familiar with this sockfarm as well. Re Pa©ker&Tra©ker (♀) 05:34, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
→ Further, I am pinging User:Doug Weller who caught User:Hanshingling earlier this year, to quickly take a look and issue the necessary block as it is apparently another case of ducking. Re Pa©ker&Tra©ker (♀) 05:42, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
Similar interest in Gujjar clan editing, in particular restoring content created by a sockpuppet at Solankis. Kokaabi's pattern of speech appears very similar to recently-blocked sock User:Fancy vibēs, compare Special:Diff/1184990546 to Special:Diff/1197986736. In addition to having linguistic quirks in common, this comment from Kokaabi suggests a far wider familiarity with Wikipedia policy than could be explained by their own editing history. signed, Rosguill talk 18:15, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
