Okiloma is most likely a sock puppet of another account that was previously banned as well. I reported it previously and was ignored due to being too late for checkuser investigations. User:பெரும்பாண்டியன்2 claims to be "Nanni Cholan" in their user page which is the name of User:நன்னிச்சோழன் 2 in English. The editing patterns are also similar and note the similarities of both apologising after being blocked which only convince me more that Okiloma is a ban evading sock of பெரும்பாண்டியன்2.

Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

Account leaps into AfD of the Tamil Genocide the same day the account was created. Thamilaneelam an account with only 12 edits since 2020 and had been inactive since 2021 also activated just to vote in the AfD so its a possible WP:SLEEPER

Beastmastah who engaged in canvassing off-wiki for meatpuppets before has opened new calls in reddit for meatpuppets to control the AfDs and RfCs even after the accounts were blocked so there is the implication they are still involved through socks.

Another account which also calls for meatpuppets in reddit and another in Quora which has previously requested meatpuppets to protect pages that had been recently created by Okiloma from deletion.

There is a strong implication that sockmasters are still involved in the AfDs and RfCs despite the blocks and the new accounts are possibly their socks or at least meatpuppets. It was also noted by @Kashmiri: before.

There is enough WP:DUCK going on... UtoD 05:33, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also added ALKBH5 another less than 10 day old account with the 3rd edit leaping straight into the AfD. -UtoD 12:54, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Another new account called Louis2850 coming straight to the talk page of the same page but it appears it missed AfD page and tried to put a keep vote in the article's talk page which is likely a confused meatpuppet than a sockpuppet. -UtoD 21:22, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Another meatpuppet recruitment by reddit user for AfD for a page Okiloma was involved in. -UtoD 18:15, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are too many days passing between edits for typical socking. Smells like meatpuppetry / off-wiki canvassing to me. — kashmīrī TALK 15:40, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
