Suspected sockpuppets

The user Cinephile4ever is showing the same characteristics as another account Arjun19990012, which itself was a sock puppet of MovieBuffIndia. The account has only one objective, to try and increase the box office numbers of movies starring Ajith Kumar such as Valimai and Thunivu, just like MovieBuffIndia and Arjun19990012. The latter two accounts did not show any interest in anything other than movies starring Ajith Kumar. This time, the sock has gotten smarter and has tried to hide the fact that it is a sock by acting neutral at first and editing neutral pages like List of highest-grossing Tamil films. But even here, their agenda is to push Ajith Kumar movies to the forefront.

Here is an edit by MovieBuffIndia on the talk page of Valimai

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Valimai#CREDIBILITY_of_Jatinder_Singh%3F

Here is the exact same edit by Arjun19990012 on the same page few months later

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Valimai#Credibility_of_Pinkvilla

This is another edit by Arjun19990012

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1133537935

And an edit with the exact same purpose by MovieBuffIndia

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1075750425

These two accounts kept edit warring to remove the lower box office figures from a range of figures for Ajith Kumar movies. And for this, they kept trying to prove that the source (Pinkvilla) is not credible.

Now this discussion given below

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film/Indian cinema task force#Pinkvilla is unreliable for box office figures

should conclusively prove why Cinephile4ever is the exact same person as MovieBuffIndia and Arjun19990012.

Hope you will look into the matter. (BangaloreNorth (talk) 13:29, 21 June 2023 (UTC))[reply]

I am not the persons mentioned here. I don't even know who those persons moviebuffindia or arjun were. I have been editing many articles relating to box office figures and Tamil cinema. I don't have any agenda of pushing anyone forward as wrongly accused here. I have been editing unbiased for a long time here. I have given many evidences why pinkvilla is unreliable since they delete a lot of content in their previously published articles. This user BangaloreNorth has been saying things irrelevant to the current discussion and not commenting on the current issue. Instead he is always bringing past discussions which have no relevance to the current issue and is falsely accusing me now. I can verify that I'm not these other people. Thanks.
