Reema Welling

Suspected sockpuppets

Obvious sock is obvious. Recreating previously deleted promotional articles, using exactly the same set of irrelevant citations etc; adding her name to the same other articles as previously. The master had also previously socked as an anon and as another registered account whose name escapes me right now. Reema is the sister of Pooja Welling, and it is articles relating to Pooja and herself that she concentrates on. The comparison report will show it all.

Update: I've just added Gaurav1112002, who has just created an account and is making similar edits to Reema Welling at Rahul Kumar (actor) and elsewhere. This is blatant stuff, so a CU should not be required. Sitush (talk) 18:45, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I am now wondering if Jeenahaitohdussehrapemil (talk · contribs) might also be a part of the set. - Sitush (talk) 18:54, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Post-CU comment. I think that Dostovesky (talk · contribs) and Perception.managers1 (talk · contribs) are also in the farm. Since Dussehra (film) has not been released, is apparently still at the filming stage and has been created and edited primarily by these promotional socks, and given the poor coverage of the other films being pushed by these socks, can we not delete it for now? This is clearly an ongoing conflict of interest attempt to promote a set of pretty non-notable people and films. - Sitush (talk) 07:23, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reema Welling (talk · contribs) and Leadlife (talk · contribs) are   Stale for CU, but might well be related to the above users according to [1];
Lifeisgood01 (talk · contribs) is also likely related to all the above, according to [2] and CU logs. Materialscientist (talk) 07:03, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  Confirmed

Perception.managers1 is stale for CU. Materialscientist (talk) 07:48, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is blatant. New account created today and is contributing to exactly the same articles with similarly poor sources etc. Has also created three new articles that were redlinks in her previous creations. - Sitush (talk) 19:49, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ha! She dosn't know who Reema Welling is but knows that Reema is responsible for hacking her systems. A variation on the "my brother did it" routine. - Sitush (talk) 19:58, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've blocked this account as a suspected sock, but given that it was created within minutes of my blocking the previous set I'd think a sweep would be beneficial. —SpacemanSpiff 20:04, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've done something due to escalation, but am still hesitant about some rangeblocks because of collateral damage. Let us wait and see. Materialscientist (talk) 03:46, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

All three now blocked indef. Mark Arsten (talk) 04:40, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This and this together are enough to say that this IP is an editor whose ID is blocked. This pretty much admits this person is Reema. This and this show a strong interest in getting "Pooja Welling" mentioned in Wikipedia, which is a very strong indicator of Reema Welling. The main account is blocked for making legal threats (block log), mooting the need to show how this account is being abused until the legal-threat block is lifted. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 01:43, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is an obvious sock and they were told this some hours ago, along with advice to go back to their original account and file an unblock request. Checkuser will not link names to IP addresses. - Sitush (talk) 01:49, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The IP is too stale to take any action now. Please continue reporting if there's further activity. Elockid(Boo!) 17:33, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
