– A user has requested CheckUser. An SPI clerk will shortly look at the case and endorse or decline the request.

Suspected sockpuppets

1. Same objective as the sock master as well as the recent socks, User:Goyambab, User:Karanth1234, User:Samlobo44, User:Calculator007 and the IPs recently active on Talk:Gaud Saraswat Brahmin; obvious objective is caste promotion.

2. Voluminous discussions on the talk page mentioned above, exactly in line with the previous socks.

3. Behavioral evidence: Using the user talk page to ping editors and try to discuss e.g. 1 and 2. Ekdalian (talk) 11:05, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New suspect Rajeshfadnavis has taken up from where the blocked sock had left! Ekdalian (talk) 16:58, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

4. Further behavioral evidence: The suspect Rajeshfadnavis has mentioned below that "Let me give additional information,I have edited Wikipedia multiple times occasionally from 2012 but this is my first and unique account"! Please look at this edit by a confirmed sock of this sockfarm, Karanth1234 where the sock had shared similar information. But strangely these socks haven't mentioned their previous usernames! They may forget their password, but no one forgets their username!

On the other hand, if they were just casual IP editors, they wouldn't have been aware of SPI and CU (having detailed information). Such behavioral evidence clearly indicates that Rajeshfadnavis must be involved in meatpuppetry, if not sockpuppetry. Ekdalian (talk) 08:02, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ekdalian They've posted to my talk page asking if we can CU to show they aren't socking. Doug Weller talk 11:24, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Doug Weller, a new user knows about SPI and especially CU; just imagine! Obvious sock/meat; at least, I have no doubt! Ekdalian (talk) 13:42, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear admin/CU, Continued to the above allegations let me add some points here.Kindly investigate completely and perfect ly as wiki has a set of top level detection tools .My concern is sockpuppetry should not become tool for wested interests.Let me give additional information,I have edited Wikipedia multiple times occasionally from 2012 but this is my first and unique account (If found to be untrue -Block me).Rest information you will get in CU.Hope complete investigation will be done.
