Repeated attempts to create NEWAR (same capitalization), same inability to understand explanations of why it is deleted, same comments about pointy noses in same poor English. User:Uck u did not respond to a request to explain the meaning of their username (i.e. as something other than the obvious profane meaning). —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 07:42, 14 August 2014 (UTC) reply

Also, IP 202.70.70.59 made an edit here that was reverted. The very same content was then again blanked here by Joan lama. —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 07:46, 14 August 2014 (UTC) reply

IP 202.70.70.42 made 3 similar edits here. —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 08:09, 14 August 2014 (UTC) reply

Suspected sockpuppets

Another cluster of Nepal socks. Similar to previous sock User:Joan lama ( [1], [2]), User:Sherpaofsherpas (apparently accidentally) blanks out big chunks of text on pages they edit ( [3], [4]). Additionally, they tend to start talk postings or edit summaries with "[Hi.] I am somename" ( Sherpa, Joan's edit summary, Joan)

User:Shresthas tag-team reverted with Sherpa at Maharjan ( [5], [6]) —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 01:50, 24 August 2014 (UTC) reply

User:Baoshr incorrectly creates sections on talk pages as level-1 headers (i.e. =Something= [7]), just like Sherpa ( [8]). Baoshr was also involved in a tag-team with Sherpa at Shrestha over a content dispute with me ( [9], [10]). —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 03:00, 24 August 2014 (UTC) reply

Not that it's needed, but here's a nice piece of new evidence relating Baoshr to Joan lama. —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 17:48, 28 August 2014 (UTC) reply

...and Baoshr slow-mo edit-warring over the same change made last by 202.70.70.59. This IP and 202.70.70.42 have patterns similar to the other users above, as mentioned in the Admirenepal case. —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 08:19, 29 August 2014 (UTC) reply

There are a number of other accounts with few or no edits on the range which are technically similar but I'm not convinced that they're related, in other words keep an eye out for suspicious accounts in case they start editing. Callanecc ( talkcontribslogs) 04:19, 27 August 2014 (UTC) reply
(Non-administrator comment)@ Callanecc: In the class-C range that we're probably talking about, I previously identified .42 and .59 especially (the latter of which is back in business today) as significant, as though they might actually be static. It might be worth blocking them as well, particularly if you can prevent new account creation (or send it through ACC). —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 10:57, 28 August 2014 (UTC) reply
Sorry, I can't comment on the IP addresses except the comment I've already made and that an IP isn't viable. Callanecc ( talkcontribslogs) 11:08, 28 August 2014 (UTC) reply
(Non-administrator comment) @ Callanecc: Just to be clear, I'm talking about publicly-visible non-logged-in-IP editing activity that is consistent with the behavior patterns of the accounts listed above (i.e. Nepal-pushing POV). .59 has been warned repeatedly (and final warned now). Assuming you have no knowledge of any of the specifics of this case, from a purely procedural standpoint, what do I do next? Add another SPI case for the IPs? (I wasn't clear on what you meant by "and that an IP isn't viable" – whether that was to say that blocking specific IPs was not possible, in which case reporting them would be useless). —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 11:41, 28 August 2014 (UTC) reply
Ah I see what you mean, the reviewing admin and decide that, as you've listed the IPs in the last (archived) case. Callanecc ( talkcontribslogs) 11:44, 28 August 2014 (UTC) reply

Recently created account Uckers (just before block of most likely IP being used) is similar to previous sock Uck u. Second edit pushes one of the favorite issues on one of their popular article's ( Shrestha) talk page. —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 09:03, 13 September 2014 (UTC) reply

Myeverest, in their second edit, attempted to remove a POV tag on one of the cluster's favorite articles, but goofed, removing most of the article as well – a common behavior in the past. —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 09:11, 13 September 2014 (UTC) reply

Obviously phonetically similar username to blocked sock Dbkarki, not to mention re-created same user page, with same photos! Requesting checkuser because previous sweep (by @ Callanecc:) should have found this sleeper. Maybe we have a new pattern or IP to block. —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 22:06, 18 September 2014 (UTC) reply

Suspected sockpuppets

New users pushing same Nepal POV in same way ( this edit by ShrofShrs and this edit by Maygodblessall has been repeatedly tried by various socks, despite being dealt with in discussion).

Same inability to create new talkpage sections properly.

Same habit of "accidentally" remove big chunks of articles they edit without explanation.

Same poor English.

Username ShrofShrs is similar to previous sock SherpaofSherpas.

Requesting CU to see if we have a new IP to block, as it previously seemed it might be restricted to just the two that were blocked at [ [11]].

Robinbshrestha has been idle a long time with only two previous edits, but then made this ridiculous related to this cluster. Maybe compromised?

  • The following are all highly  Likely, bordering on confirmed:
I've blocked and tagged the listed accounts. I'm assuming that a check was not performed on Robinbshrestha, as the behavioral evidence doesn't seem strong enough. (Pinging Tiptoety just to confirm.) I'd recommend keeping an eye on the account and see how things progress. Mike VTalk 20:42, 26 September 2014 (UTC) reply
Yes, sorry for not making that more clear. I'm  declining to check Robinbshrestha ( talk · contribs) at this time pending more evidence. Additionally, they did not show up in the sweep performed on the IP range of the first group. Tiptoety talk 20:44, 26 September 2014 (UTC) reply
My thought on that one is that it was odd for it to come to life again after 2 years and turn up in the middle of this to do something the other socks had done. Probably either a compromised or "borrowed" account. I'll warn the edit and keep an eye out. Thanks. —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 22:43, 26 September 2014 (UTC) reply

Looks likely to be yet another sock of Admirenepal. Editing similar articles, such as Madhesi people, Madhesh and Tharu people, and making similar changes therein.

They have recently been editing as an anon (see discussion here) but I still think this is the same person. Sitush ( talk) 11:37, 31 March 2015 (UTC) reply
