Numerous accusations of disruptive editing in the edit summaries by 96.8.1.144 against Chisme ([ [1]]). User:Jkmarold55 then piped up with a very similar sounding threat here ([ [2]]). We now have 2600:387:2:805::89 again accusing Chisme of trolling (again using the edit summaries). ([ [3]]. All these similar threats and removal of the same information makes me think there is sockpuppetry going on. Skamecrazy123 ( talk) 10:56, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

If Jkmarold55 is such a big proponent of having a community, he should probably curtail his aggressive threats, such as this one. He keeps talking about his evidence, but he never provides it. Similarly, the IP keep threatening to report Chisme, but never did so. While it's not entirely clear to me if Jkmarold55 is indeed the same person as the IP(s), his claim that he is simply trying to mediate an edit war is, to use his own word, preposterous.

What all these editors, if they are more than one editor, have in common is:
BTW, the Gurbaksh Chahal has for some time been a bone of contention on Wikipedia. Here's a newspaper article from 2014 which describes "a substantial and concerted effort to remove all mention of Chahal’s legal wrangles from his Wikipedia page". Chahall even hired a PR firm.

The way I see it,
Chisme has extreme interest in the Gurbaksh Chahal and Gravity4 pages. I am not known to either, but very short time I have spent on Wikpedia, I do see Chisme and
Skamecrazy123 have extreme obsessions to these subjects. I would not do a grave unjustice, without evidence, and say there is some paid trolling happening here. 'Chahal may have hired a PR firm', as said in your words. But who hires the trolls? All I request is to ensure my posts on Wikipedia aren't trolled on, especially when they are written with neutrality and rules of wikipedia in perspective. Thank you.

There may well have been a concerted effort by "multiple (pro Chahal) individuals." User Lingveno, who has posted here and at the Gurbaksh Chahal article, wrote the following on Chahal's Talk page, "WP:CoI - payed by Kay Kaur with 200 USD through Upwork, hired for mediation in order to make the article neutral." Kay Kaur is Chahal's sister, Kamal Kaur? So Chahal's sister offered $200 to people who will work on her brother's Wikipedia articles. Who besides Lingveno is being paid? IMHO, for the sake of Wikipedia integrity, the Gurbaksh Chahal article needs a "This page is currently semi-protected so that only established registered users can edit it" tag.

Just to clarify this from my perspective, I do not believe that either account belonged to Thecapital15. However, one is likely to belong to User:Jkmarold55, as one of the two editors hired. The other is another paid editor who uses socks to evade detection, but not one where I'm aware of the master. I believe that Legacypac's concern is not socking on Thecapital15's behalf, but meatpuppetry in regard to hiring someone specifically to place a keep vote, as opposed to improving the article. - Bilby ( talk) 07:06, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
Both Buddhabob and Jkmarold55 show a very similar editing style. Both edited with the hallmarks of a paid editor. As off-wiki evidence, at WP:COIN it was shown that the owner of the Jkmarold55 account was recently hired to add spam links to carvercantin.com, and shortly thereafter multiple links were added to WP by Buddhabob. - Bilby ( talk) 00:07, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello. I am posting here because DrumSalad was blocked for being a sock of Jkmarold55, but the evidence concerns only DrumSalad and Ryzensai. Some of the telling signs that these two accounts are operated by the same person are:
Note that apart from Michael Breus, all articles created by Ryzensai ( Holberton School, Julia Vari, Michael Burtov, Ted Greenberg, and Sabrina Kemeny) are re-creations of articles that were deleted G11, G5 or at AfD. Thanks and regards, Biwom ( talk) 06:27, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
