1) Account created right after the latest sock User:JudeB5 was blocked. 2) Creating their user page immediately after account creation with no meaningful content like most of the socks of Nobita456. 3) Highly active on Talk:Bengali Kayastha with the same objective as that of Nobita456, i.e. undermine the caste and promote their ancient rival caste Baidya. 4) Jumping into caste articles straightaway after account creation, that too the same old Bengali Kayastha. 5) Conversations clearly show they are not a new user, using terms like WP:FRINGE, the diffs are as follows: 1 by Nobita456, amd 2, 3 by the suspected sock regarding the same source and same statements attributed to the source. 6) Behavioral similarities like active on Wikipedia for responses all the time.

Comments by other users

My comment: 1) Well I think thousand of new users create account on wiki daily. 2) This was the only option to describe yourself on wiki, Wiki itself asked me to create that page when I clicked on my name. 3) So you mean my objections were invalid? Please see the edit history of Bengali Kayastha page, right now Ekdalian is edit warring with three different users for his POV pushing. Are they also my accounts? 4) Well I am an Indian I have interest in castes like majority of Indians including you. 5) You yourself introduced me with WP:RS. And thanks to the simplicity of wikipedia it was not too much hard for me to understand. Admin Abecedare also helped me to understand the wiki rules. 6) Well I am free right now, I just cant accept the fact that some peoples on wiki creating their own fake history using some fringe racial race even in 21st century.

In conclusion I would say if I am not mistaken there is a wiki rule that you cant create two or more acoounts. I exposed some POV pushing of Ekdalian and I think for that Ekdalian made connection with some admins(checked his contributions) but did not get any benefit from them before making this case.

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

• Having dealt with earlier Nobita456 socks, I too find the timing, interest and POV match suspicious. Nobita456 socks though vary their behavior considerably and a CU check would help confirm or at least supplement the behavioral evidence. Abecedare (talk) 17:47, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
