Similarity in reverts: [1] & [2] also similarity in blanking talk page notices [3] & [4]. I reached to the article history by coincidence. Two opposite sides may be in edit wars. Did not study likelyhood of socking by opposite side for want time and searching socks was not my focus as such and also I am still not confident in assessing likely hood of sockpuppetry.

@Blablubbs, GeneralNotability, and RoySmith: Oriental Aristocrat and War Wounded look same. They falsely claim others of providing "misleading edit summary"[5] and "unexplained violation"[6] as reason while themselves failing to provide any reason for mass revert. Looking here and also at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Depressed Desi, the behavior is clear enough to warrant a WP:DUCK block with CU conclusion "possible". This sock, Oriental Aristocrat is already getting out of control. Aman Kumar Goel ^(Talk) 04:02, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

• Passerby note: I haven't run any checks, but Oriental Aristocrat looks behaviourally similar to War Wounded (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki), who is currently reported at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Depressed Desi. --Blablubbs (talk) 11:34, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

  I ran a check to compare the two accounts. I'd say they're  Possible to each other, and that Oriental Aristocrat looks consistent with what I can see from the logs for the Depressed Desi case – more consistent than War Wounded. I'll leave the final call to someone else because ARBIPA behavioural evaluations aren't really my forte, but I'd suggest that whoever handles this case also evaluate the behavioural relationship to Depressed Desi and War Wounded (see the shared interest in, and similar edits to, Insurgency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa – [7][8][9]).  No comment with respect to IP address(es). --Blablubbs (talk) 14:11, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
