• User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
• Editor interaction utility

1) Both users edit using mobile phone only [1] [2], 2) Over lap of contributions and pushing Indian POV across an array of articles (esp. across Indo-Pak war articles), 3) Both obsessed with changing "2014–15 India–Pakistan border skirmishes" kills which was the master's original dispute (read editwar like the master who was blocked for similiar behavior) [3] [4], 4) The suspected sock is also interested in List of active Indian military aircraft like Warwar86 and both have edited the article. As per master's blocklog, the IP 1.39.0.233 was caught as a WP:DUCK sock and might be helpful in CU as the master is now stale (although I guess that's not going to happen as CU probably won't connect the account to the IP)... still I'm pretty sure the behavioural evidence is good enough to establish sock puppetry. Just to add, the blatant disruption and editwarring against many editors on different articles inspite of numerous warnings not only appears to be similar behaviour but also is blockable on its own. lTopGunl (talk) 15:23, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Note, based on this [5], the user is continuing to editwar without discussing inspite of being reverted by 3+ editors (and Cluebot). I suggest, block first, investigate later. --lTopGunl (talk) 16:27, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• The user has continued all out disruption / editwar; I've filed an AN3 report in an attempt to stop that while this is being investigated [6]. --lTopGunl (talk) 09:35, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• The user has returned after AN3 indef and is obviously a sock, I've added the account on number # 3 on the list (KnightWarrior25). He has been reported at ARV by Winner 42. --lTopGunl (talk) 18:24, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.

• I added User:1.39.0.233 to the list above just for completeness, since it was already mentioned in the text, not assuming that checkuser would make a connection. That IP was also blocked in December 2014 as a sock of User:Warwar86. Meanwhile I left a warning for Astral Prince due to the AN3 complaint. May issue a block there soon assuming he won't stop reverting. He has also canvassed another editor to help him out at Battle of Phillora against the Pakistanis: "Do visit Battle of Phillora few dumb Pakistanis like TopGun And Mar4d are creating Vandalism WP:VAN". All these facts might suggest a lengthy block even without the sock charge being proven. EdJohnston (talk) 00:11, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

•  Clerk note: KnightWarrior25 should also be blocked (see: [7] and [8]). Vanjagenije (talk) 20:25, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• KnightWarrior25 and Astral Prince, other than editing from the same country, are  Unrelated. This is based on the two edits KnightWarrior25 has made.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:50, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• No further action is warranted. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 02:49, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
