Vandalism over Indian actors Mohanlal vs Mammootty ugly fan-fight. First 4 are registered solely for vandalising the cast section of Driving Licence (film) with the other 3 joining them, by manipulating the name of the character Bhadran (a fading movie star) played by Suresh Krishna in the film. Mammootty fanboys are attempting to alter the name to "complete actor Bhadran" ("completed actor" is a sobriquet used for Mohanlal), while Mohanlal fans are adding equivalent nicknames of Mammootty, finding fun in mocking each others rivalry actor, but comparatively Mohanlal fans' edits are very few (and are in IPs) and are mostly reverting the other party's vandalism.

Listed are Mammootty fanboy accounts who apparently started this (User:Sreekumarps0 to be exact) and was annoyingly persistent that the page has to be protected administrator-only. Since this is an unusual kind of vandalism and as their timing of edits are too close, it's likely to be the same person. Users like Vaishnav parambath is clearly WP:NOTHERE, created solely for vandalising box office figures of Mohanlal films and as such. 137.97.89.68 (talk) 14:54, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims. Perhaps check against Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ahamed faris/Archive, also interested in Mammooty? AHandC (talk) 17:17, 4 January 2020 (UTC) I am not Ahmed Faris, what makes you think that? Mamoothy is a very popular and talended Malayalam actor that many like. 172.58.235.102 (talk) 17:26, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

•  Clerk endorsed - Probably worth a check for any sleepers. I am fairly positive that these accounts are all the same person. TheSandDoctor ^Talk 10:06, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
•  Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely) similar location but all different mobile user agents. ST47 (talk) 17:36, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Starting with the most obvious, Abhishek Raj369, 46Chris369b13, and Ahsan Ali EM; these three accounts were all created within about 45 minutes of each other. Blocked those. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:19, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Wiking6 has no logged account creation date, which means prior to when we started logging new accounts, i.e. long-term sleeper. Blocked. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:25, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Daniwikipedian and Vaishnav both made superstar -> Megastar changes, and "complete". Blocked. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:33, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• And, finally, tying this back to the master, this edit with more superstar -> Megastar, and "complete actor". Blocked. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:39, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Like Abhishek Raj369, 46Chris369b13, Ahsan Ali EM, Wiking6, these 3 are also created solely to edit that page, making edit requests after protection. See "123" in Saneeshkbm123 and Daniwikipedian123. Editing time not too far than Vaishnav parambath and Sreekumarps0. 137.97.30.160 (talk) 14:57, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Sigh. Blocked and tagged. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:24, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Oh, didn't notice the CU request. Already blocked, probably not worth the effort to do the check at this point. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:25, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
•  Clerk endorsed - With 9 accounts in the span of a week, this is probably worth a check for sleepers. Sir Sputnik (talk) 01:26, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
•  In progress - Mz7 (talk) 04:39, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• For the most part,  Inconclusive. Saneeshkbm123 and Muhammed fawas are at best  Possible—like ST47 found in the previous investigation, they are from the same general region, but are using different device and ranges. Abbaskc512, on the other hand, is from a different region entirely. Moving forward, I'm afraid CheckUser is not going to be useful to find sleeper accounts for this master. Closing.

Again [1], protection expired. Can you apply an IP range block too if possible. 137.97.83.8 (talk) 05:39, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
