Suspected sockpuppets

- Tools: Editor interaction utility • Interaction Timeline • SPI Tools
- Created his account in mid May- same as his most recent few socks.
- DUCK edits regarding the Battle of Amritsar (1757) [1] and [2]
- Exact same fixation with Afghan-Sikh and Mughal-Sikh conflicts
- He also primarily edits logged out with these two IP ranges: [3] and [4]. I'm not sure if there are subranges within those two that could be blocked so as to prevent hiw block evasion whilst also reducing collateral damage to other editors.
- Edit: I think /44 or B03/48 might be a good fit for the 2601 range, as the bulk of the most recent 250 edits appear to be him, I'm also assuming that he was editing/vandalizing this page- [5] a while back, as it lines up with his previous edits.

- The IPs keep hounding me every time I edit an unprotected page. Blocks on the IPs would be appreciated, although I'm aware that a subrange is needed for the 2600:1016 range, as there many legitimate editors using it. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 01:49, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

Unlikely I don't see a technical connection here. Not going to mark it unrelated, as I felt the behavioral connection was strong enough to check, but he's a solo technically, at least so far. Katietalk 16:52, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
- I have blocked the 2601:547:b03::/49 IPrange for a month since almost all edits from that range since May 7 are by HaughtonBrit. Ditto for 24.154.112.204 (talk · contribs · WHOIS).
- The edits by Singh62002 are disruptive and display as a similar POV as the sockmaster but they are not necessarily the same user, esp. in light of the CU findings. So for now will inform them of IPA CTOP. Tagging the case for closure. Abecedare (talk) 18:37, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
