Cf. [1] [2]. Other similarities include edit summary style, both editing Cochin International Airport, and both editing travel/tourism related articles having to do with Kochi. Requesting CU. Magog the Ogre (talk) 19:28, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Those two diffs definitely look like a duck and I've blocked PuttumKadalayum. If other admins disagree or a CU shows otherwise, please unblock the user - no need to consult with me. Toddst1 (talk) 19:43, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
My guess is the possible result below means they both edit from that large IP swath in India that has been disrupting the one page for ages. Seems as likely to me as not that they are the same user. Magog the Ogre (talk) 22:16, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Two more users propping up each other's POV, with a combative editing style and inability to stop edit warring; all have an avid interest in tourism/travel topics related to Kerala. Magog the Ogre (talk) 19:46, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Endorsed by a checkuser. AGK [•] 23:10, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mountainwhiskey is Likely to be Bijuts, and these accounts are Possible socks of DileepKS69. I suspect that there is proxy usage here, though it's proving difficult to pin down—and (although I'm still learning this area of CU) I think that India ISPs tend to assign an awful many users to one range or proxy… So these very well could be socks that Dileep was planting for the long-haul. Behavioural evidence will have to be relied upon to determine whether the two socks have a further link to the named master, but I am inclined to say that they are all related; But I will leave the issue of behaviour in the hands of the processing administrator.

Mountainwhiskey is requesting a second opinion. Can I please have a more in-depth explanation so far as it's permitted? If not, then I request a second checkuser to look at it. Magog the Ogre (talk) 19:50, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, fine: Relisted for a second opinion from another checkuser. AGK [•] 21:12, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mountainwhiskey is Confirmed as Amazer007 (talk · contribs). Bijuts is a Possible match to those two accounts. All three accounts are Possible matches to the accounts in archive- this is based mainly on geography. TN X Man 00:33, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Magog blocked both socks, so we're done. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 17:53, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A possible case of WP:DUCK. Same interests as that of the master. POV pushing on Kochi related articles. Requesting a CU to confirm — Abhishek ^Talk 15:51, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am unable to provide diffs as the edits are not same but have the same pattern of POV pushing articles related to Kochi as that of the sock master. There is also [[User talk:Metroman87#Recent edits on Kochi page and attempts of POV pushing|a warning on their talk page about POV pushing. I suspect that this user might be DileepKS69, for which I have requested a checkuser to confirm the same. [3] — Abhishek ^Talk 06:31, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Additional information needed. How is it the same? Please explain, and support your comments with diffs, page histories or log entries. WilliamH (talk) 15:56, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Again, how is it the same? Diffs or not, you can't expect those less familiar with the issue than you to establish your argument. WilliamH (talk) 07:10, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- - Since there has been no activity for five days, I am going to mark this for close. TN X Man 19:43, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
