Worldandlove created Vivek Verma on 24/12/17 and used an image uploaded by user: Vivek.k.Verma. The article Vivek verma was also created by user:Koreangirls and user:V.verma.iitk. Worldandlove and user: Vivek.k.Verma have a similar pattern of page creation. FITINDIA 19:11, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

Behavioural. Blocked user Bollymine created Jjaibot which has been tagged for unpaid editing and Tagremoverr has removed it, which drew my attention. Both users' first two edits were to create blank user and user talk pages, which seems a strong indicator they are the same person. Dorsetonian ( talk) 21:27, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Ozar appears to be a meat/money puppet from this same farm. They recreated Julian Jewel Jeyaraj, overlap here on the same subject matter and is one of the only other keep votes that isn't a sock here Praxidicae ( talk) 13:58, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

For the record, Ozar77 does many things unpaid and uninfluenced. That was the problem with the Dansong SPI. Another COI/PAID editor who otherwise makes positive contribution in diverse areas, and Ozar77, a paid one (undisclosed), who also makes unrelated positive contributions, being used as a proxy, were clearly blockably meat-puppeting, clear enough for me to see and another editor deeply involved with those AfD's to agree with me. Due to inexperience, I ended up connecting too many faint dots from their positive contribution areas until it started looking like constellations to uninvolved editors, not to mention the sheer volume of text I'd posted. This time around, Ozar77 most likely has been hired independently by sock-farms or clients to work on articles with long histories, as clearly in the international market Ozar is. And, they at least attempted to disclose PAID this time. CIR on copyright, identifying reliable sources, NPOV and paid-editing disclosure, which has been sorely lacking.

Near verbatim repost of Jjaibot, originally created by Bollymine ( talk · contribs) and substantially edited by Tagremoverr ( talk · contribs). Sufficiently blatant enough for me to block, but I'm wondering if there's anything else out there. MER-C 17:20, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Obvious sock: once again recreated Jjaibot, as recent socks in this SPI have, this time at Julian Jewel Artificial Intelligence Bot [3]. I read the previous version of the article before it was deleted and I recall that it was very similar to this, if not identical. SpicyMilkBoy ( talk) 19:22, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

The Stonertone account was created on 15 May 2020. Within a fortnight, it had found its way to the much-trolled/socked Vivek Verma article, this version of which had recently been created by another VKV sock, Worldnpeace. Their first edit to the page was to remove a speedy, and it has remained their most edited page since.
There's more behavioral/editing technique-based evidence available, but I'd rather not put it here per BEANS. And the amount of socking this single page has experienced justifies it I think: if any CU/clerk wants to email me, I'll send "The File" over. —— Serial # 13:13, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

The reason I found my way to the page Vivek Verma was that i had created Draft:Samir Babaev whic User:Þjarkur moved to the draft space where i found him nominating the page Vivek Verma as CSD, where I agree that Draft:Samir Babaev may not pass GNG but how come Vivek Verma is elligible for deletion, later when Praxidicae got The page deleted I decided to open the case in DRV, how come my frequent interest in the subject makes me Sock of it?

I dug the previous editing style and history user @ User:Worldandlove and multiple sockpuppets of @ User:Vivek.k.Verma Verma and it matched. So, I believe this is the sockpuppet account and should be checked. Owlf ( talk) 18:10, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
@ Blablubbs: Here I've mentioned below: 1) Diff that the editing style and writing style that matches Special:MobileDiff/816978534 & Special:MobileDiff/1023156708
2) Special:MobileDiff/1023156708 which is mostly connected with the first Diff
3) In both diff the way that sockpuppet confirmed user has written in both are likely matches. And no-one common user who just joined to wiki gains such knowledge within few days and knows to use wikipedia tools. Owlf ( talk) 18:36, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
