Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Rupesh saud: Difference between revisions

– A checkuser has completed a check on relevant users in this case, and it is now awaiting administration and close.

• Rupesh Saud account was created in August 2012, no activity until creating the Draft:Tanka Timilsina in May 2023, speedy-deleted per G11 as promotional. That account is blocked for abusing multiple accounts.
• Apparent sockpuppet account MrTimilsina appeared in July 2023, reccreating the same Draft:Tanka Timilsina in July 2023, also deleted per G11 as promotional. That account is blocked.
• Thepageholder appeared in August 2024, making a handful of edits. Then on 11 August 2025, created Draft:Tanka Timalsina (slightly different spelling, but same subject) and submitted it for review. Possible sock.
• MountainWriter42 appeared in July 2025 and has been more active than the others. On 14 August 2025, created Tanka Timilsina before the review process completed. That article is now at AFD.

The content of the drafts and main space article are substantially similar but with variations, suspecting me to believe that these accounts are connected. ~Anachronist (talk) 01:01, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Four minutes after creation, Nepaliwikicreator began making edits only to articles created or recently edited by MountainWriter42. Today edited Tanka Timilsina, minutes after its re-creation by MountainWriter42 at variant title Tanka Timilsina (singer). Wikishovel (talk) 12:28, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve also sent Tanka Timilsina back to AFD. Wikishovel (talk) 12:33, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tanka Timilsina was moved to draft 22 September, following second AFD, with main space article salted. Older sock MountainWriter42 made some changes on 23 September and resubmitted; I declined the submission. An unrelated editor made some more changes on 1 and 7 October. MountainWriter42 blanked their own user talk on 13 October, and made no further edits. After no edits since 3 October, Nepaliwikicreator awoke, added a photo to MountainWriter42’s Sajan Lamichhane [1], then resubmitted Draft:Tanka Timilsina [2]. Three minutes later, I posted an agf-sock warning at MountainWriter42’s user talk, and eight minutes after that MountainWriter42 woke and replied [3]. Further significant overlap in article edits by the two accounts since I posted this SPI on 15 September. Requesting checkuser. Wikishovel (talk) 18:13, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
