Suspected sockpuppets

Ayushmaan14 is an LTA, most of whose socks are already blocked here for abuse of multiple accounts or vandalism. All accounts are confirmed on Commons. There has never been an en.wiki SPI, however, so this is to begin a consolidated local record, and to check the currently active SanyaAyush44. Many of the socks are stale, but behaviour quacks, including through admission ([1][2][3]), and I can provide whatever Commons data remain for stale accounts if needed. See primary focus on Indian trains, significant overlap includes:

See also usernames; e.g., SanyaAyush44 to Ayushmaan14, Ayushmaan13, Ayushmaansecured, etc. Эlcobbola talk 15:17, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bbb23: who set up Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Ayushmaan14 in case they want to handle active duck SanyaAyush44 while this waits in the significant (ridiculous) SPI backlog. Эlcobbola talk 15:19, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Elcobbola: I added a new sock to the list, which you blocked in Commons without further explanation. However, I don't see any checkuser admin here takes action per my AIV report against them. Is Taj04 really a CU confirmed sock or just blocked for behavior evidence? Also notify Ponyo for the update. NmWTfs85lXusaybq (talk) 07:55, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Vanjagenije, Taj04 was added to this report several days later so it wasn't included in my comment above. It is  Confirmed to the Ayushmaansecured account that RickinBaltimore CU blocked. I appreciate you going through and reviewing all of these older clerk status reports. -- Ponyobons mots 16:44, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New account immediately engages in same heavy pruning of List of Vande Bharat Express services (e.g., Vandesecured, Ayushmaansecured, Secured14, SanyaAyush44, Taj04, etc.), same verbose edit summaries, username similarity (Vandesecured vs. Ayushmaansecured and Secured14).

Suspected sockpuppets

See following timeline:

  • 15:53, 22 December 2023 - Known sock Kerashtra21 blocked by me on Commons;
  • 19:03, 22 December 2023 - Aerate22 created;
  • 10:45, 29 December 2023 - Kerashtra21 posts rambling admission to socking (i.e., knows en.wiki block is imminent--indeed, blocked 20 minutes later);
  • 10:52, 29 December 2023 - Aerate22 suddenly emerges, 7 days after creation, and makes first ever edit to give Kerashtra21 a barnstar;
  • 11:00, 29 December 2023 - Aerate22 makes second ever edit, a message to me (the blocking Commons CU) about Kerashtra21 and master Ayushmaan14;
  • 11:02, 29 December 2023 - Aerate22 jumps into a discussion on Talk:Ayodhya Junction railway station , in which Kerashtra21 had participated 30 minutes earlier (and indeed the LTA's topic area of Indian trains), with purported concern about socking.

Of course, a brand-new user would not be expected to be aware of the Kerashtra21 account, or of barnstars. A brand-new user would also not be expected to be aware of me (I have no article overlap with master or socks, and have never interacted with these accounts on en.wiki) or of Ayushmaan14. Disingenuous "good hand" concerns about socking are not inconsistent with historical vandalistic trolling by master. Эlcobbola talk 17:01, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Created just a day after previous sock user:Kerashtra21 was blocked . and almost exclusively editing articles edited by Kerashtra21 . Usage of similar edit summaries [4] [5] [6][7][8]. Ratnahastin (talk) 08:15, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The user has left a comment in my talk page under a new user name user:Krishna2264 as indicated here Comment, claiming all the mentioned accounts: user:Secured14, user:Kerashtra21, user:Ayushmaan 13, user:Ayushmaan14, user:Taj04, User:Kedarnath33 as sock-puppets. The user page of user:Taj04 explicitly states it is a sock-puppet. Request blocking of all the above mentioned user accounts and not sure how this can be further addressed.

Moved Magentic Manifestations' post to the right section; they are referring to this addition FTR. Looks like all the accounts are blocked, but not necessarily tagged, and they all have an interest in Vande Bharat Express:
