Multiple accounts that are obviously big fans of Hina Khan. Accounts are spamming her Twitter account [1][2][3][4], adding "See Also" links to her article [5][6][7] to various off-topic articles such as other unrelated actors, actresses (especially Sara Khan), and television shows that she does not appear on. Accounts have also been removing maintenance templates [8][9][10], repeatedly adding in a unmemorable anecdote [11][12], and showing ownership issues [13] on the Hina Khan article. Account naming convention on first set of accounts show an obvious pattern. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 19:09, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Same habit of adding Hina Khan's Twitter account [14], See Also links [15], and removal of article maintenance templates [16] as previous sockpuppets. Third account listed as a suspect account name as it is a merger of the most common name of the article, Sara Khan, where Hina Khan is being repeated added/connected to even there is not connection. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 03:23, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reopening SPI case: Fourth account just appeared and reverted Twitter [17] and See Also links [18]. Blocked per WP:DUCK. Would an IP block be feasible per the first SPI report outcome? -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:16, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Adding fifth and sixth accounts: Suratedit2010 and Nitajain25 blocked per obvious DUCK. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:15, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Anitjain85 and Nisha2384 are   Confirmed. Sarahinakhan is very   Likely to the two confirmed accounts. All three are fairly   Likely as Ravi22oct, based on geolocation, user agents, and editing patterns. –MuZemike 03:30, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
