Suspected sockpuppets


Note, not sure who is the master here. Very recently in WikiProject Indian Noticeboard we discussed on paid editing in Indian articles. That issue remained unsolved, but a number of articles were semi-protected. I have a doubt that in this article too either paid editing or CoI editing is going on. I posted about it in the article's talk page. Another editor told he also thinks so. The issue is brief: a number of new accounts are editing this articles. The IPs are worse, but, I have not included IPs to keep this report short. They are pushing PoV and writing like advertisement. Example. Can someone check socks in this article? In addition, is it possible to check locations (I am not asking to disclose locations here) of the IPs and if they are known IP address of any known IPs (like IPs used by any company, office, particular location).

Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
  • Clerk note: I ran a couple checks on a couple users who were engaging in the most spammy and similar editing, and none of them were related. Most of these have not been checked due to insufficient evidence. Closing, then, since this likely isn't sockpuppetry. Reaper Eternal (talk) 19:56, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
