- Note, this report is mis-named. contributions is actually tagged as the sockpuppeteer, and there is a corresponding page Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Sonu1008. ~Amatulić (talk) 03:59, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Evidence

Sustained socking/meating by aforementioned users (with SPAs) and IPs on the The Indian Institute of Planning and Management article to whitewash it. These users/IPs favour blind reverts, and leave no coherent edit summary, and do not heed requests to explain their actions on the talk page. The article was protected for a long time till last month due to disruption along similar patterns earlier. - Max - You were saying? 19:06, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- This is one of the most bizarre vandalism edits I have seen in months. I think the allegations of sockpuppetry are correct. AGK has full-protected the affected page (Indian Institute of Planning and Management) for six days. I'll ask him if he'd like to block these users or request an IP check.
- For bookkeeping purposes, I'm merging the other SSP into this one. Yechiel (Shalom) 15:03, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I've indef-blocked Sonu-nn and Sonu1008 for edit-warring. They've each got a long record of this game. Concur that they (along with FSM-knows how many others on that article history) are probably sock-puppets. Could a checkuser get us the underlying IP to be blocked and that would solve it? OTOH, looks like there are several IP involved, so maybe page-protection is the only good solution here? DMacks (talk) 15:30, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for your help DMacks. It seems these accounts are made by people from the organization in question, and the organization has branches in different cities in India, which would explain the varied IPs. Even temporary page protection hasn't worked, so we're trying to get an indefprotect for it. - Max - You were saying? 16:42, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Conclusions
The other named accounts seem to have ceased editing. I'm going to close since the two main accounts are blocked too. 16:29, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
