Suspected sockpuppets

• USGunner76 (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
• Tools: Editor interaction utility • Interaction Timeline • User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

• Accounts created within 10 days of each other.
• Both removed the same content from Bharatpur State several times.[1][2]
• Both users justified these edits by using the same reasoning nearly verbatim:
  • Nightcrawler44: "it is based on gazetteer source of late 19th century and all other sources are derived from same source".[3]
  • USGunner76: "all claims are based on one late 19th century gazetteer and its derivative sources".[4]
• Both users made the exact same accusations of "bias" and being "obsessive" against me:
  • Nightcrawler44: "User Alivardi is consistently damaging Jat related pages in obsessive manner for his vested agenda"[5]
  • USGunner76: "a user named Alivardi just keep coming again and again on page in an obsessive manner… User Alivardi is changing many articles again and again for his own biases".[6][7] Alivardi (talk) 17:42, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
