1. Same objective as the sock master as well as the recent socks, User:Goyambab, User:Karanth1234, User:Samlobo44, User:Calculator007 and the IPs recently active on Talk:Gaud Saraswat Brahmin; obvious objective is caste promotion.
2. Voluminous discussions on the talk page mentioned above, exactly in line with the previous socks.
3. Behavioral evidence: Using the user talk page to ping editors and try to discuss e.g. 1 and 2. Ekdalian (talk) 11:05, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
New suspect Rajeshfadnavis has taken up from where the blocked sock had left! Ekdalian (talk) 16:58, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
4. Further behavioral evidence: The suspect Rajeshfadnavis has mentioned below that "Let me give additional information,I have edited Wikipedia multiple times occasionally from 2012 but this is my first and unique account"! Please look at this edit by a confirmed sock of this sockfarm, Karanth1234 where the sock had shared similar information. But strangely these socks haven't mentioned their previous usernames! They may forget their password, but no one forgets their username!
On the other hand, if they were just casual IP editors, they wouldn't have been aware of SPI and CU (having detailed information). Such behavioral evidence clearly indicates that Rajeshfadnavis must be involved in meatpuppetry, if not sockpuppetry. Ekdalian (talk) 08:02, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
Almost conclusive behavioral evidence: Use of the rare phrase "void of" as well as similar language and style (e.g. no space before opening bracket) by Rajeshfadnavis as well as the confirmed socks/blocked IPs including Ramarao1234! Please check these diffs: using "void of WP:SYN" by a blocked IP 2409:40F2:1B:50D6:F10D:13DB:3B9F:B235 1, using the same by another blocked IP 2409:40F2:42:6BED:C055:5973:6FD1:4B50 (both blocked by Newslinger) 2, using the terms "void of Neutrality" and "void of Synthesis" by blocked user Ramarao1234 3 (please note there's no space before opening brackets in the edits by confirmed socks/IPs), using the same phrase by Ramarao1234 again 4, using the same language "void of WP:SYNTH and WP:NPOV" (and even no space before opening bracket) by the suspected sock Rajeshfadnavis on the same article talk page 5, same phrase by the suspect on Doug Weller's talk page 6, using the same again along with no space before/after brakets by the suspect 7, use of "void of wiki rule" by Rajeshfadnavis on RegentsPark's talk page 8.
Similar (like all previous socks) voluminous discussions by Rajeshfadnavis on Talk:Gaud Saraswat Brahmin, even requesting RegentsPark to decrease the protection level of the article here so that they can start editing/POV pushing like the sock master/confirmed socks! Even discussing on their agenda (POV on GSB) out of context in another article's talk page, see this.
Hope I have provided enough behavioral evidence; pinging admins RegentsPark, Doug Weller, Newslinger, Bbb23. Thanks. Ekdalian (talk) 18:26, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Ekdalian They've posted to my talk page asking if we can CU to show they aren't socking. Doug Weller talk 11:24, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Doug Weller, a new user knows about SPI and especially CU; just imagine! Obvious sock/meat; at least, I have no doubt! Ekdalian (talk) 13:42, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Dear admin/CU, Continued to the above allegations let me add some points here.Kindly investigate completely and perfect ly as wiki has a set of top level detection tools .My concern is sockpuppetry should not become tool for wested interests.Let me give additional information,I have edited Wikipedia multiple times occasionally from 2012 but this is my first and unique account (If found to be untrue -Block me).Rest information you will get in CU.Hope complete investigation will be done. Regards, Rajeshfadnavis (talk) 14:55, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Dear Admins RegentsPark, Doug Weller, Newslinger, Bbb23,
- I don't think the "Behavioral evidence" is even relevent as per my knowledge.The mentioned evidence like usage of void,Wp:synth,NPOV,no space before opening bracket,voluminous discussions etc cannot be a evidence.
- Already My block was rejected by admin RegentsPark on lack of behavior evidence.Ref: Requesting "Obvious sock" in personal talk User talk:RegentsPark is void of wiki policy ,where admin RegentsPark didn't accept and denied to block due to lack of evidence.
- With good faith I request all the admins to guide the editors here to mutually respect each other.Giving respect to one of the Admin's(Doug's) suggestion I am changing the message and with good faith expecting the same from all editors.
- Regards, Rajeshfadnavis (talk) 08:25, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Rajeshfadnavis This is a personal attack. If you continue in this vein you are likely to be blocked. The editor you are complaining about acted in good faith - there have been a number of socks recently with edits not very dissimilar to yours. Doug Weller talk 08:37, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Doug WellerI believe in democracy,mutual respect is my first priority .Even now I assume good faith and respect the editor who accused me,I don't take allegations too personally.I accept that many sock attacks have been there in the past but forcefully calling me sock is hurting me.Hope I receive the same respect back from him.Editors together can build wikipedia under the guidance of experienced administrators, it's not mutual competition.Expecting resolution from experienced administrators like you!

- Duck blocked on strong behavioral evidence. RegentsPark (comment) 13:22, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- Blocked and tagged Rajeshfadnavis. I think the behavioral evidence is quite strong. I'll leave the CU request in place. Bbb23 (talk) 13:29, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- Ramarao1234 (talk · contribs) is
Likely to previous Joshi punekar socks such as Editor3131 (talk · contribs) and Acchuta Sharma (talk · contribs) and Brittlee1990 (talk · contribs). Rajeshfadnavis appears 
Possible based on geolocation but 
Unlikely from a technical standpoint.-- Ponyobons mots 22:20, 18 April 2024 (UTC) - I've tagged Ramarao1234 and blocked and tagged their "alternative" account, Rodrigus0 (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki).

- It's a sock, but the master doesn't seem to be correct. Richardadmi is
Confirmed to the following:
- Shivajirao Marathi (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
- Ramarao1234 (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) (blocked as a suspected sock of Joshi punekar, described as 'likely' to other socks from that case.)
- Comparing Richardadmi to other accounts from this case, I'd call them
Unrelated, as far as I can tell. I'm going to remove this report over the to Joshi punekar one, block and tag. Girth Summit (blether) 13:22, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
