ken Tony re-created so many articles which were deleted as per G5 and previously created by Kashmorwiki. For instance Ashalatha (singer). However most of the articles passes GNG but why he re-published only those articles which were previously created by Kashmorwiki? GermanKity ( talk) 10:04, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello. I'm Ken. I'm shocked to see myself suspected as a sock of Kashmorwiki. I'm not a sock of Kashmorwiki. I began recreating some of the articles created by Kashmorwiki, after making a discussion with Star Mississippi, who himself is an admin. He gave me the permission to recreate some of the articles created by Kashmorwiki. The conversation can be found here. When he was being blocked, I copied sources of majority of his undefeated articles to recreate them some other time, as they passed WP:GNG while the time he created them. If anyone look at the way I edit and compare it with the way Kashmorwiki does, you can see a great difference. It's true that Kashmorwiki was a good friend of mine who guided me during my beginnings in Wikipedia. I've put a list of recreated articles with credits given to him in my user page. I'm in Qatar and Kashmorwiki is in India. I request someone to check the IP address of mine and Kashmorwiki someway if you haven't believed what I've said. You can also ask Star Mississippi for further information. I didn't knew I would get a treatment like this for helping Wikipedia expand and making friends with another Wikipedian. Thank you. Ken Tony Shall we discuss? 17:35, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
I came to know Kashmorwiki because of our common interest in football. We both are from Kerala. We both support Kerala Blasters F.C. He was always a mentor to me. He made me feel home at Wikipedia. As I said earlier, I live in Qatar and he lives in India. I'm not fabricating this sentence. This information is present in my user page for a long time. I edit Qatar footballers articles and edit non-Indian football articles more often. But Kashmorwiki does less contribution to non-Indian football articles. I edit cricket-related articles too but not Kashmorwiki. I'm saying from the bottom of my heart. I'm not a sock of Kashmorwiki. There are many things that differentiates us.

Krishnavilasom Bhageerathan Pilla (KBP) created his account on 25 May 2021, just three weeks after the CU-block of Kashmorwiki ( talk + · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki) (KW), who had repeatedly engaged in sockpuppetry. KBP was clearly not new: the logs show that he immediately created a user page, user talkpage, and sandbox, installed scripts, and participated in the deletion process. The similarities to Kashmorwiki et al. are striking:
This should be more than enough to show a connection; I have a few more pieces of information up my sleeve that I can share if necessary. While CU would ordinarily be stale in such a case, Mz7 noted in the last SPI that he had saved some old CU data (on cu-wiki?): if that's still available, technical analysis could be helpful here. Thanks in advance for taking a look at this, and let me know if I can be of any assistance. Regards, Extraordinary Writ ( talk) 06:20, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

The DavidEfraim account bears many similarities to the Alphaonekannan account: similar creation dates (11 May 2021 vs. 27 Apr. 2021), similar edit-count-inflating gimmicks with redlinks (compare [96] with [97]), and similar sleeper-account-like gaps in activity. Most saliently, both have been engaged in a lot of high-quantity, low-quality AfD !voting (compare 4 AfD noms in 11 mins. with 5 AfD noms in 39 mins.), and both share several language-related quirks: compare [98] ("There is no significant coverage. Violation of BLP") with [99] ("Violation of BLP. No significant coverage") as well as [100] ("No significant coverage. Fails GNG") with [101] ("No significant coverage. Fails GNG"). Clearly something fishy going on here (probably some flavor of UPE); checkuser might be useful. Extraordinary Writ ( talk) 06:51, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
I'm not sure how to explain the similarities when editing red links and voting at AFD. However, I can explain language-related peculiarities. I've studied a lot of AFD conversations to understand how this actually works here. I had taken notes throughout those conversations and copied a few phrases and sentences for later use. I'm not a native speaker of English. I'm not very good at structuring sentences. This was one way to deal with it. I also have a paraphraser app installed in my computer. "There is no significant coverage. Fails GNG." Its not the only term I copied. I've copied a lot. "Unable to find significant coverage". Article does not meet our notability guidelines. These two are also some of the phrases I copied. There are other users who also do mass AFD nominations within a short period of time. Im not the only one. This habit of mine started after I contacted User:Atsme to request her to be my teacher at NPP school. But every available spot was taken. So I decided to train myself. With the help of User:SDZeroBot/NPP sorting, I discovered many unreviewed articles that deserved AFD nominations. This is what really happened here. I'm now learning how to use CSD criteria. My final word; I have no connection with this sock. Checkuser should unveil the truth. DavidEfraim ( talk) 14:53, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
Confirmed sock Kashmorwiki moved Aniyan Midhun to mainspace a day after draft creation by Dhananjaydhanu246. Editing patterns of Dhananjaydhanu246 and Abdul.Aboobacker are both promotional. Dhananjaydhanu246 also has a declared COI at Nithya Mammen, created by sockpuppeteer Jehowahyereh. Are Jehowahyereh and Sulshanamoodhi related? Is it all one big paid editing ring? Who's sock, really, is Dhananjaydhanu246? All this, and more, you can find out on today's exciting episode of SPI: Miami. ScottishFinnishRadish ( talk) 17:22, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
