Three accounts all concerned with adding promotional material and/or trivia to the article Hridayeshwar Singh Bhati. Two accounts are named after the subject of the article and his father, whilst Sudeepgangal admits here to being in personal contact with the subject. It seems to me that there's definite meatpuppetry going on here, but I'm not sure how best to handle it, and given that I also deleted the original article and created the current one, I'm too involved to do so anyway.

Sarovar Singh Bhati is Hridayeshwar's father who is helping me out to make this page. I am the right owner to design this page.
I would like to know where we people are doing wrong. As I am also very new to contributions to wikipedia problems are there. I am slowing learning the rules and regulations of wikipedia and will try to learn even faster. Can you please help me out with more information on all my wrong doings here and what all data being shared is against wikipedia policies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sudeepgangal (talk • contribs) 16:37, May 28, 2013
Respected Sirs: Yunshui 雲水 and Guy Macon (talk) Very rarely i come to Wikipedia. But yes i have warned my paying guest who used to have same Wifi connnectivity to never edit/talk on behalf of the subject, Hridayeshwar Singh Bhati. I am father of the subject. My son has also asked the contributor Sudeepgangal to never talk/edit to this subject in furure. He has suggested to contribute if any on this subject, only on sand box. God bless you all of you Sarower Sigh Bhati (talk) 08:21, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
Respected Sirs Guy Macon (talk) and Yunshui 雲水 In addition to it, My son and Subject, Hridayeshwar Singh Bhati, informed me that he will never edit on Talk/Article in future as he is the subject himself. He will contribute only if Wikipedia asks for same. God bless All of youSarower Sigh Bhati (talk) 08:21, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

- Definitely looks like WP:COI by family members based on username. However, not much has happened recently, so closing. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:42, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Spamming things like this[6][7] to multiple pages using multiple IP addresses. I am not sure what can be done here; too many pages to semi-protect, too many wireless broadband IPs to range block, and too small of a posting volume to justify a filter. Any ideas? --Guy Macon (talk) 08:36, 30 June 2013 (UTC) Guy Macon (talk) 08:36, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

- User: Ashish94304 also appears to be a sock of the same user. They do not understand Wikipedia guidelines and leave Wall of text everywhere. A Semi Protect/ Pending Changes protection on the article should solve some of the problems though. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 08:55, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
Ultra respected Authorities and Ultra respected Guy Macon (talk) Sir: Surprised and Shocked: Raising Voice by me against violation of WIKIPEDIA Guidelines in the case of the subject ' Hridayeshwar Singh Bhati" is a crime which is termed as vandalism or sockpuppet etc etc. I have only one laptop using wireless connection with broadband connection airtel of the Public cybercafe at number [removed] and i have only this laptop from which i give my opinion on WIKIPEDIA. Respected Sir Please check the humiliation and insult by administrator of the article YUNSHUI and other WIKIPEDIA officials at their talk page and talk page of the subject. My mobile number is [removed]. My broadband connection address is [removed]. Respected Sir i meant every word verbatim and i can prove it. Imagine YUNSHUI Sir himself launched the article along with Sudeepgangal and now officials of WIKIPEDIA and major contributors of the article of the inspirational subject are making fun/insulting/humiliating the subject and readers of the inspirational article. Ultra respected Sir, What else i could do to prove that i am up to good intentions ..Moreover Sir IP Changes automatically many times but i never used multiple IP ADDRESS. Regards Sir. I think that the people who contributed the most to the article in the beginning ie YUNSHUI Sir and Sudeepgangal has spoiled the show to the greatest extent now. I can not bear the humiliation of the subject that is pride of 130 crores Indianns and who inspires world122.161.221.183 (talk) 09:45, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
Respected Authorities and Ultra respected Guy Macon (talk)Sir: Yes I agree that My IP Address first 6 digits are fixed 122.161 and rest goes on changing automatically but i never used Multiple IP Address. Moreover this is a net connection of a cyber cafe having WIFI/Wireless Utility. I Appeal to WIKIPEDIA to please do send me to be tried at International court of Justice, if i am guilty but then the same rule must be valid on WIKIPEDIA Officials and other concerned people doing humiliation to the subject " Hridayeshwar Singh Bhati". No one can insult or humiliate anyone and no one is above law. Yes if i am guilty must be sent to jail but at least i have right to put my words against injustice. Obviously and firstly i request WIKIPEDIA to do justice. Please take action against whosoever is guilty...Even Me the same rule applies. Regards122.161.221.183 (talk) 10:04, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

- The English communications skills are so poor, I'm not sure what to do here. I don't think this is intentional sock puppeting as much as a lack of competence with the language and the policies here. Closing. I recommend sending them to the WP:Teahouse and maybe someone from India can help explain some basics to them. Closing. Dennis Brown | 2¢ | WER 13:09, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
