If this not sockpuppetry, then it's clearly meatpuppetry imho. Last SPI check did not prove anything
[1], but there were still suspicions about Jonharojjashi for edit warring with two other brand new users.
Well, look what I found now;
When multiple concerns were made over the article at
Talk:Chandragupta II's Campaign of Balkh, another brand new user Magadhan3933, suddenly appeared and started defending it. Whats even more suspicious, Magadhan3933 has also created literally the same article
Draft:Campaigns of Chandragupta II Vikramaditya two days after Shakib ul hassan, which was even randomly edited by Jonharojjashi
[2][3]
Like Jonharojjashi, Shakib ul hassan also misuses sources, only using the part that satisfies their POV and omitting the rest of what it says as noted by me here
[4][5]. They also both randomly requiested the protection of
Chandragupta II's Campaign of Balkh[6][7] under the false reason of "vandalism" (I'm not sure they understand what the word means).
Also added Indo12122, should have done in the first SPI. Can't be a coincidence that the same brand new (and now indeffed) user whom Jonharojjashi edit warred with, is now having their edits
[8] restored by Magadhan3933
[9] at
Seleucid–Mauryan war. They also both heavily edited in
Chola invasion of Malaysia (Kedah), an article barely touched these past years.
EDIT: The plot thickens. Brand new and now blocked user HistoricPilled, is a blocked sock of
User:Thewikiuser1999, and has a very similar EIA
[10] to all these users. As seen in the edit history of
Maratha–Sikh Clashes, HistoricPilled and Shakib ul hassan build on each others edits for example. At
Bajirao I, they edit warred together
[11][12].
EDIT: Adding Mr Anonymous 699 again. While the CheckUser did not show any connection to Jonharojjashi, it might do to the other users. Mr Anonymous has not only edit warred with Jonharojjashi (as seen in the previous SPI), but now they're also discreetly restoring
[13] the disruptive edits of Magadhan3933
[14][15][16][17], who just got a 48 hour block for edit warring in that article.

Adding
this because the same thing happened when I moved two newly created articles from mainspace (check the talk section for the reason), suspiciously a random user came to defend it. Consider that both articles were newly created, additionally, it was moved to draftspace. It could go either way though.

EDIT: Mr Anonymous 699 yet made another revert
[18] in favour of Magadhan3933/Whataboutery19192/Indo12122 without any edit summary. The vast majority of their edits have been reverted as well. Meatpuppet or not, they're clearly

None of these are my accounts and yea I was just trying to merge all of the campaigns of
Chandragupta II with good faith to make it easier for readers and I should have attributed to
User:Jonharojjashi or I should have waited for his article to be published. Moreover I am not Indo12122 now atleast. Moreover, There were other users along with me in Chola invasion of Kedah section. In Seleucid Mauryan war section, I restored his version specifically because it was detailed. I have restored many people's revision.it doesn't make me a sockpuppet.

I have nothing to do with
User:Shakib ul hassan &
User:Magadhan3933 and why I will submit AFC of the same topic 3 times? That makes no sense since both have copied my content and published their own articles, maybe they were following my activities also they are new editors unlike me and unaware of the rules of Wikipedia. Plus, Shakib ul hassan is a name which resembles Bangladeshi cricketer's name and Magadhan is a name associated to person from a region in India. I really don't see the connection here to me. Here
[19] I thought my article was published but no my articles were rejected and instead these copied articles just as my work were already published and I don't know how to report. Therefore, I thought I was too late to take any action from then onwards.
Coming to the
User:ImperialAficionado's statement I will just say this is just a random allegation from nowhere I don't even know much about
Rajput history so leave debating over
Rajput history. I'm only concerned about upper northern Indian history.

and I'm waffling in the Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely) spot between these two groups. Shakib has been editing logged out in a way I wouldn't quite call abusive but which I would also call inappropriate and at least needs a warning. Not (yet?) sold on looking at the others in this report but will leave at CU requested.

I believe the remaining three users who remain unblocked, Shakib, Mr Anonymous 699, and Jonharojjashi are three different people. Behavioural evidence needs evaluation as to the necessity of a block due to meatpuppetry and/or a 2O will be necessary for checking my work and/or whether some split of the case is necessary.
