• CheckUser requested and endorsed by clerk - Please compare these accounts. Thanks, GAB ^gab 17:50, 23 December 2017 (UTC) reply
•  Clerk note: I've added JDowny to the investigation who also registered to comment on the same AfD, and was about to endorse, but GAB beat me to it. :) Sir Sputnik ( talk) 17:55, 23 December 2017 (UTC) reply
• The master is engaged in UPE. The listed socks are  Confirmed to each other and  Unrelated to the master.
• The following accounts are  Confirmed to each other:

• Kotnakka ( talk ⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki) is  Likely to the master.
• Monfernape ( talk ⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki) is  Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely) to the master. The account is also  Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely) to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Commanderofthescript. The account has technical characteristics of both but is less stylistically similar to Rachna440. Either way, there's little doubt that he is doing UPE.
• I've blocked all of the accounts without tags except the four listed puppets (PeakTime is the oldest).  Clerk assistance requested: A new case should be created for the four listed puppets. Of the remaining accounts, Rachna440 is not the oldest, so there needs to be another case with the oldest account, and Monfernape needs to be sorted out.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 19:45, 23 December 2017 (UTC) reply
• I've separated out PeakTime and co at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/PeakTime. Sir Sputnik ( talk) 20:34, 23 December 2017 (UTC) reply
• Monfernape has no overlap and enough little differences in their editing that they are almost certainly unrelated to others. Hamzaramzan123 is the oldest of these. I've moved the page tagged accounts accordingly. Sir Sputnik ( talk) 21:14, 23 December 2017 (UTC) reply
• As for a connection between Monfernape and Commanderofthescript, a comparison of edits reveals nothing definitive. A connection is possible, but my guess is they're unrelated. Closing without further action. Sir Sputnik ( talk) 21:34, 23 December 2017 (UTC) reply
• @ Smartse: Can you please look at this, particularly with regard to Monfernape? Thanks.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 23:30, 23 December 2017 (UTC) reply

• @ Sir Sputnik: Why don't you wait one more day and, if still nothing, close. Thanks for staying on top of this.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 03:09, 11 January 2018 (UTC) reply
• @ Bbb23 and Sir Sputnik: Sorry for not responding. I'm not really around much at the moment I'm afraid. SmartSE ( talk) 08:32, 11 January 2018 (UTC) reply
• Don't worry about it. Closing. Sir Sputnik ( talk) 20:23, 11 January 2018 (UTC) reply

User:GoPro has three edits, all relating to the article on Rahul Kumar Kamboj created by Special:Contributions/Farhanramzan123, a confirmed sock in this sock farm. GoPro most recently removed a speedy deletion tag from the article. K.e.coffman ( talk) 00:30, 2 January 2018 (UTC) reply
