• Code letter: G
• Supporting evidence: Per this discussion on AN/I. Administrator Natalie has requested that a RFCU be filed to verify the sockpuppetry.

Multiple accounts are working in collaboration, disrupting AfDs, pushing POV through creation of forks per request of politicians and disrupting the ongoing AN/I discussion. These users are editing the same narrow set of articles at the same time with very distinct typos and simular arguments. See the AN/I discussion linked to above for diffs. EconomicsGuy (talk) 14:14, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

• Comment, several of the accounts pop up more or less at the same time, seemingly very coordinated for newly registered accounts. No record of any talk page communication between the different accounts. Similar wordings, spelling errors, tone used. Similar behaviour in adding talk page comments, and then deleting them ([1], [2]).
• Comment the IP account 99.238.6.68 is a Canadian ISP. At the AfD for LTTE and Maoist Relations‎, the IP account user claims to be the same as User:Kumarans10. Note that two of the suspected socks have been editing Hinduism in Canada and related articles.

IP blocked - you might want to think about semi-protecting the usual-suspect articles at this stage - Alison ^❤ 19:23, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I have looked at one of the AfDs and can't make heads or tails of it, so I asked on its talk page whether or not I should close and relist it semi-protected so that a consensus can be easily understood. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v +2 Pen of Editing)} 20:32, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

• Comment, another one: SireMarshall (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser). Made a large quantity of pointless edits removing and adding periods, spaces, and links from various articles, presumably to build up a record of "substantial" edits, and then subsequently participated in an AfD that has been visited by several of the above accounts.

• Comment. From edits made by User:TheFlintstones (listed above), I arrive at the following other suspected socks. These all arise from edits made to Indo-Pakistani War of 1965‎ between 22 February and now, and have similar patterns. Additionally, the account creation dates are all within a couple of days (and in some cases within a few hours). Most were only used to edit this one article. --Dachannien^Talk_Contrib 06:57, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
