Topic interest area is same between Astral Prince and Spartacus! (formerly ArghyaIndian). They both were editing Military/Weapons related pages. Please also note that Spartacus! was reported under KnightWarrior25 with a heavy amount of evidence and there was already a request to merge the SPI for KW with Astral Prince (Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Astral Prince/Archive#31 August 2016), that request was closed without evaluating the evidence noting that they did not want to open a can of worms but its important to merge these SPIs as there is an active user who displays the behavior trait of both KW and Astral Prince There is heavy evidence in there if someone still want to evaluate and merge them. Now you can see by below evidence that Spartacus! has the behavior traits of Astral Prince as KnightWarrior25 and MBlaze Lightning both had.

Behavioral evidence

• The logic behind names: Astral Prince (Astral means of or relating to the stars), ArghyaIndian (Arghya, a Hindi word means offering water to the sun which is in a sense related to the stars)
• Another reason behind the name Astral Prince is Astra (missile), the page is also edited by Spartacus! and the first edit by Spartacus on that page was a revert which means that the page could have been on his watchlist prior to that.
• Notice the odd line breaks in the text: Astral Prince (diff), Spartacus! (diff 1), (diff 2), (diff 3)
• Enters multiple empty lines in the text, sometimes two and sometimes even three: Astral Prince (diff), Spartacus! (diff 1), (diff 2)
• Copy/pastes same message to different forums: Astral Prince (Example 1, copy 1), (Example 1, copy 2), (Example 2, copy 1), (Example 2, copy 2), Spartacus! (Copy 1), (Copy 2 split between two edits: 1, 2)
• Use of exclamation mark, Astral Prince used exclamation marks at the end of section headings (1, 2, 3) which is kind of unusual, not many people do that, Spartacus! continued with that habit and used it in the username which is also unusual
• Similar way of talking, first of all its overall similar way of talk but also note that the line which starts with wording "Let me" is a separate line most of the time: Astral Prince (Let me clarify your few doubts), Spartacus! (Let me also explain RFC case from the starting)
• Updates the same area of same page after almost a year of Astral Prince updating it, it shows that Spartacus! is keeping tab on the edits made by Astral Prince and updates them accordingly when new information becomes available: Astral Prince (diff 1), (diff 2), Spartacus!

@Kautilya3: Really Kautilya, its not abuse of multiple accounts when you have one account blocked, you can come back under a different account and start editing the same pages? This is the lamest argument I heard from an editor from whom I expected a lot better. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 21:28, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

SheriffIsInTown doesn't seem to realize that sockpuppetry means abuse of multiple accounts. I see no evidence of abuse presented, even if the two accounts were to be the same person. Without such abuse, no investigation is needed. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 20:24, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Sheriff is right. I didn't notice that the alleged master is blocked. I withdraw my comment. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 21:46, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

This report is completely baseless. Filer keeps on targeting me (god know what reasons, this is third time he/she file SPI against me. I don't know who is Astral Prince. Re to above "The logic behind names: Astral Prince (Astral means of or relating to the stars), ArghyaIndian (Arghya, a Hindi word means offering water to the sun which is in a sense related to the stars)"???? WTF?? I am a Bengali Hindu, I'm living in Bardhaman, West Bengal. Arghya is my real name and in bengali Arghya means worshipping materials which are used in puja (পূজার সামগ্রী). Moreover this is WP:OUTING. I made my first edit on Astra (missile) page on 10 February Re to DRDO AURA edit How may I know that a sock edited this page and I need stay away from it for some sock? And why shouldn't I edit the? bcuz of one/some socks user?? Re to use of exclamation mark in username Spartacus was not available to use but with a exclamation mark, it was.

Overlap in interest is not a proof. I can mail my college Identity card, or my Government Adhaar card to administrator to prove, I'm a different person & not a sockpuppet of Astral Prince. Spartacus! 05:59, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

Closing because of insufficient persuasive evidence. The username comparison is silly. The "odd" line breaks and adding extra lines are not uncommon. Forum shopping is very common. Exclamation marks in headers and in the username? Reaching. Starting some sentences with "let me" is hardly unusual. Some overlap of interest, particularly in this area of the project, is almost par for the course. The aggregate of such low quality evidence doesn't change the equation. The filer is warned that a continuation of these harassing and scattershot SPIs may lead to sanctions.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:01, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
