I have no interaction with Georgethedragonslayer before but the way they made their first interaction with me[1] makes it clear that they have interacted with me before which Aman.kumar.goel did[2].

Georgethedragonslayer making same edit[3] as Aman.kumar.goel[4] in the same article and keep doing that:

• Georgethedragonslayer[5] and Aman.kumar.goel[6]
• Georgethedragonslayer[7] and Aman.kumar.goel[8] and repeating until the page is protected.

This has been a pattern which already discussed at ANI and also at BLPN where it was found found to be true.

When I checked Georgethedragonslayer's contributions, I found they have interest in the same topic areas[9] and using similar method to accuse of disruption:

• Georgethedragonslayer[10] and Aman.kumar.goel[11]

Apart from these, both Georgethedragonslayer and Aman.kumar.goel have strikingly similar edit pattern in some areas which I would like to share via email please.

Georgethedragonslayer restoring the same material[12] added by Gopalam Reddy[13].

•  Check declined by a checkuser - Two of these accounts are 3k+ edits each, and the third is blocked. I don't think we have socking going on here. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 23:13, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@AmandaNP:, I am sorry I failed to convince you but there are some strange similarities and coordinated edits in particular few pages that usually do not get much attention from other editors. I do not know how they have managed to avoid the alarm for so long but I have more evidences which I do not want to disclose here. Can I please email you? Thanks. --Bringtar (talk) 06:06, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Insufficient evidence of socking. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 00:07, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to my previous evidances (which I cannot see here so I guess those are still available in the archive), they have some similarties with their commenting style and edit summaries. I want to send this via email please. They also exhibit similar kind of behavioural patterns like Georgethedragonslayer wanted me topic-banned[14] and Aman.kumar.goel[15] using same excuse of India-Pakistan topic[16].

@Bringtar Hi. Just to get a couple of minor technical issues out of the way, there's no need to list the sockmaster under the list of suspected sockpuppets. I've fixed that for you. Also, you are correct that the previous report is now in the archives. Near the top of this page, look for where it says "For archived investigations, see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Georgethedragonslayer/Archive", and click the link to see the archive (but please don't edit it). As this was just closed yesterday, I'm not optimistic anything's going to happen by re-filing it today. We generally encourage people to just post their evidence here, but if you feel you've got something which isn't suitable for public consumption, you can email it to me; click the "Email this user" link on my user page. I don't want to get your hopes up that I'll be able to do anything, but I'll take a look and what you send. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:39, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

RoySmith I really appreiciate the guidance and have sent you an email. Thank you very much again. Bringtar (talk) 17:50, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

•  On hold - Pending email. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:41, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• After looking at the evidence emailed to me, there were some things that seemed to clearly tie Georgethedragonslayer and Aman.kumar.goel together, although other things I observed myself seemed to indicate two different people. I ended up doing a check, which shows they are  Unrelated. Closing with no action taken. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:55, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
