Suspected sockpuppets

Azees Nedumangad was created by User:Mischellemougly on their 13th edit.

  • User:Blingowski added an image on the same day the account was created, 24 September 2023.
  • Girish Prabhu was created on 16 October, 2023‎. User:Ninethchord9 adds an image on the same day the account was created, 23 November 2023.
  • Midhun Asokan was created on 16 October, 2023‎. User:Mrmamrma adds an image on the same day the account was created, 11 November 2023.
  • Asmitha Neelamegam was created on 20 December, 2023‎. User:Thasmithasmi adds an image on the same day the account was created, 23 December 2023.
  • Anup Pandalam was created on 15 February, 2024‎. User:Ansanspl adds an image on the same day the account was created, 8 April 2024.
  • Chella Ayyavu was created on 5 June, 2024‎. User:Filmchennaimedi adds an image on the same day the account was created, 10 June 2024.
  • User:Mischellemougly replaces a redirect with content at Night Shift Studios on 4 June 2024‎ and Rcwikwong starts editing the same article after 15 hours.

All of the above are cases of WP:OBSART and indications of WP:UPE. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 15:31, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, I don't think these are fans because not all fans would create a burner account just to add an image on the same day the account is created. This, AFAICS, has only happened in articles created by Mischellemougly.
  • Girish Prabhu isn't wikilinked much nor was it reviewed until January 15, 2024. But the image was added on November 23, 2023.
  • Likewise, Chella Ayyavu has two incoming links, is not reviewed yet and does not appear in a Google search but still User:Filmchennaimedi has added an image.
These are less known technicians/directors i.e. obscure articles with less than 30 page views, so it's highly unlikely to be a coincidence.
Mischellemougly's commons upload, C:File:Vijay Sivan.jpg, is also a red flag where the artist has mentioned "Copyright free!" in the image description. I have reported around 150 images on Commons and have never come across something like this unless there is undisclosed COI. Mischellemougly also has a paid warning on their talk page from a different editor. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 08:47, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • The accounts that are not stale are technically Red X Unrelated. This does not rule out off-wiki coordination, for which  Behavioural evidence needs evaluation. My gut feeling here is that these are fanboys, and not socks; but that remains to be seen. Vanamonde93 (talk) 03:09, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
