User Mian Singh was banned in June for disruptively editing articles, specifically by making controversial and undiscussed page moves to new titles. I noticed another account behaving in a similar pattern. Both accounts focus on Sikhism-related articles and have the same habit of moving these articles to new names without any attempt at building or establishing consensus for these moves. It is very suspicious that this Khidrana Singh account popped up a month after the Mian Singh account was indef. banned.
Please see these diffs:
Mian Singh account: [1], [2], [3], [4]
Khidrana Singh account: [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11]
Further proof these accounts are operated by the same person can be found in the sandboxes of these users. Both users maintain extremely large sandboxes trying to cover anti-Sikh violence throughout India in 1984:
Mian Singh: [12]
Khidrana Singh: [13]
I am convinced these are the same person and I hope this can be confirmed and if indeed true, appropriate action may be taken before they cause further damage to the project. ThethPunjabi (talk) 03:37, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
