LTA sockmaster who focuses on uploading and cropping images of politicians of India. Many of the uploads come from Flickrwashing accounts created by him. He tends to name his socks after administrators who've dealt with blocking his socks and deleting his uploads. Aside from the usernames, one easy indicator of his socks is that they use crop tool, which most new users wouldn't know about in their first few days of editing. He also creates templates and categories that copy those created by admins, such as their talk page notices or user categories, or he creates templates and tries to pass them off as legitimate creations. He also shows up out of nowhere and asks admins questions at their talkpages. He asks about how to use certain tools or templates, but he's just wasting time. If you get a question from someone you've never talked to before and who is a very new account, check their edits. If it's him, you'll see crop tool edits and linkings of cropped images, usually of politicians of India as mentioned above. Please report any sightings on COM:AN/B. I can take care of him here, and I know the admins dealing with the case at en.wiki. Thanks for your time, and I'm sorry this guy has picked you to mess with today. His basic behavior is just being a random pain in the ass.
Modus operandi:
- Uploading modified (cropped) photos of politicians of India
- Using {{Extracted from}} and similar templates
- Starting deletion requests or requesting renames for photos of politicians of India
- Using cropbot and rotatebot
- Creating useless templates
- Asking users, especially admins, useless questions on their talk page, or in public venues
- Using usernames that are puns or variations of other user's usernames
- Creating {{BadSVG}} versions of legitimate PNG files
