Admirenepal was nominated for, "Persistent creation of articles about Manzil Paudarco, Paudarco Manzil, Manzil Poudar, Poudar Manzil and other variations on the name."

Naver.np created the user page User:Manzilnfl with what appears to be a cut and paste move from User:Manzil Poudar. (I'm not certain about that, though, since both the user page and Manzil Poudar were speedy deleted.)

• Naver.np created User:Manzilnfl. Note the pp-semi-sock template.

At my suggestion, Manzilnfl marked User:Signedbo and User:Naver.np as alternate accounts. There is no intent to deceive, and none of the usual problems associated with sockpuppetry, as far as I can see. But I stumbled upon the old sock puppet investigation in the process of starting Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Poudar.

Like Admirenepal, Naver.np and Manzilnfl seem to be interested in family names.

• Naver.np created redirect to Paudel
• Naver.np created redirect to Paudel

The now deleted Poudar, created by Naver.np and edited by Manzilnfl, was also largely about the family names Poudar and Paudarco. Sorry, I can't add diffs, since the article no longer exists. Cnilep (talk) 23:49, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed that User:Blackhu20, a banned sock, uploaded the picture on Manzilnfl's user page.

• This is just plain disruptive, creating multiple accounts to recreate the same deleted content and similar contentious edits (including unexplained blanking).

Back again with the same edits to articles such as Maithili language, the same recreations of surname-related articles such as Poudar and the same concentration on Nepalese subjects such as their addition at Facebook Zero. That bit is WP:DUCK stuff but I'll ping @Ponyo: because they're familiar with this one and there has been a need for CU in the past. Sitush (talk) 12:08, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Added 202.70.70.59 (talk · contribs). Similar edits, including very recent removal of the CSD template I placed at Poudar. Based in Nepal, always editing Nepalese articles, including the History of ... that has had so many problems from past Admirenepal socks.

 Note: Adding Ragnisah, whose only contrib since appearing in December is a long Nepal-related piece on their user page, which is rather well written in comparison to most of the stuff we see, though it may have COPYVIO probs if the user (and the page) is allowed to remain.

Tag teaming between Shresthas and Sherpaofsherpas on Maharjan over the usual subjects ([1], [2]), and blanking a big chunk of the article apparently unintentionally as they've been known to do.

• It is early days but the initial contributions of these accounts don't look like Admirenepal, unless they're branching out in terms of pet articles. Probably socks of the other master that you mention. - Sitush (talk) 11:33, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• As noted here by Sitush and by me in the SPI preceding this one, I think this is behaviourally a separate sockmaster. The area that these socks are editing from routes an extremely large amount of traffic through a very small range, so it would not be unusual for more than one sock farm to appear in a check.

Duck. Same poor edits to Maithil- and Nepal-related articles, including changes of titles in "citations" etc (eg: here; interest in the name Poudar/Paudar/other variant spellings, including in their own username. Sitush (talk) 10:14, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Mike V: Thanks for tagging. My last message here was an edit conflict with Ponyo's CU report. I've no idea how the CU tool works. Does it, for example, take account of people who are already blocked? Nonetheless, I'm sure that Maithilicinema was a duck even though it doesn't matter now. As the archives should demonstrate, the antics of the master have been something of a specialist subject of mine recently. That is twice that our edits have crossed, and both times I feel that you've perhaps not fully under the context. :( - Sitush (talk) 07:11, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• I've tagged the likely accounts. Given the nature of the checkuser tool, if Maithilicinema was related it should have shown up in the report. (Much like the likely accounts Ponyo listed below). Mike V • Talk 03:10, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Sitush: Yep, the checkuser tool does catch accounts that are blocked. (Provided that they have make a logged action somewhat recently.) When accounts are checked, it shows all the other accounts that are using the same IP. The checkuser tool also allows a checkuser to look at a wider range, should one's IP change with their service provider. As such, a sleeper check for additional accounts occurs at the same time as a confirmation check. Given the checks that Ponyo performed, if the account was related to these 3 sock accounts I believe it would have shown up in the results. Mike V • Talk 16:20, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This user's creation of an article about a topic which only Admirenepal and ppoojjan ccresta (spelling?) are obsessed ("Terai") makes it obvious, as does his attempt to rapidly change things and pray no one notices the giant changes. Ogress _smash! 15:39, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This user is clearly an IP sock of Admirenepal or ppoojan ccresta as is demonstrated by his obsession with changing Madhes to Terai. Ogress _smash! 15:41, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

•  Additional information needed - @Ogress: In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:

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. Vanjagenije (talk) 09:16, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipoll has requested [17] that the same information that was removed by Ponyo from the article, Madhesi people, be reinserted. The information was removed from the article after it was inserted by another sock of Admirenepal [18]. Wikipoll has made no other edits outside of their userpage. The Wikipoll account was created a few weeks after the most recent sock was blocked.  Looks like a duck to me Majora (talk) 03:36, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Exact same Nepal POVPUSH as the master and previous socks. Been a while since the last report but the sockpuppeteer has been disrupting with different IPs in the meantime (e.g. Poddar).

•  Check declined by a checkuser - case is  Stale and Nepal might be the single worst country to CU in regardless, so this check would be very unlikely to tell you anything just based on the name (I haven't looked at the log or the account, but with the stale accounts plus the geographic area they focus in, I would be extremely hesitant to rely on CU data here.)

  • I blocked for being disruptive, and they came up in another SPI. Closing this case.

Exact same Nepali POVPUSH on the articles targetted by pervious socks and master including IPs (specifically articles relating to Mithila, Madhesh, Poddar etc.). Requesting CU to further verify this. Gotitbro (talk) 12:32, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IP socking can be seen at Poddar, the LTA has recently mostly been IP hopping to evade detection. Though most of the socks are now old, I am still providing comparitive diffs as they align pretty closely: [19]/[20], [21]/[22], [23]/[24], [25]/[26]/[27], [28]/[29], [30]/[31], [32]/[33], [34]/[35], [36]/[37], [38]/[39], [40]/[41], [42]/[43].
