Suspected sockpuppets


  • Kangleingakpa has been spamming infoboxes of Roman/Greek gods with marginally related Manipuri gods [3] like Goutamkumar did repeatedly. [4]
  • Kangleingakpa edited Baruni Hill, which only the sockmaster has ever edited.
  • Kangleingakpa removed cleanup tags on Wangbren which only the sockmaster has ever edited. Goutamkumar repeatedly removed cleanup tags on his own articles.
  • Kangleingakpa and Moirang Shayon overlap on Lainingthou Nongpok Ningthou.
  • Moirang Shayon overlaps with Goutamkumar on Kanglei mythology, an article with next to no other editors except the sockmaster.
  • Moirang Shayon uses WikiMapia as a source [5], like the sockmaster repeatedly did [6]

Noting that the last known sock was Amudon Nongyai in March.

Same interest in Manipur related articles and introducing severe POV in there almost as soon as the account was created. Gotitbro (talk) 10:49, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  1. At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
  2. At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
  3. In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:48, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Clerk note: Requested info not supplied after a week, closing with no action taken. Feel free to reopen if additional evidence is available. -- RoySmith (talk) 12:54, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Haoreima is adding equivalencies between Manipuri deities and those in various ancient Mediterranean cultures, just as Kangleingakpa did. Compare Haoreima's edit to Neith with Kangleingakpa's edit to the same article, and Haoreima's edit to Minerva to Kangleingakpa's edit to the article on Minerva's Etruscan equivalent Menrva. They are also the only two accounts to have made substantial edits to Lainingthou Koubru. A. Parrot (talk) 21:14, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I was just coming here to see if this account had ever been investigated as being related and saw there was this open case. Seems likely to me. -DJSasso (talk) 14:33, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
