This isn't the first time Misconceptions2 was convicted of sockpuppetry, see the archive, and block log, but in any case, it is important to mention some context:

Context:
The following observations were all made based on one article and its talk page, namely, List of expeditions of Muhammad, I will not cover many edits made in "Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of expeditions of Muhammad" ‎since I was not very familiar with the lengthy discussions there, maybe some more experienced user will shade more light on that. In any case, I thought it would be necessary to first include some context.
In the #Multiple Issues section of the talk page of the List of expeditions of Muhammad article, a consensus was reached on February 26 (go there for complete details), which lead me to make some heavy changes to the article in question, e.g. 1, 2, 3, all of whom were made in the 26^th of February 2016‎. These edits were left unchanged, and no one objected to them, based on the consensus in the talk, until the original creator of that page, namely, Misconceptions2 (talk · contribs), (re)appeared after a 3 months and 28 days (14 March 2016--16 November 2015) absence.
So on March 13, the article's creator (Misconceptions2) reverted the agreed changes, claiming a muslim conspiracy and pinging dozens of users to rescue his article.
Now there is one important point that should be mentioned, and I think it is a central piece of evidence, which is that before Misconceptions2 (re)coming, no reverts, no flow of suspicious accounts making blanket reverts and personal attacks, happened, actually no objections were ever made in the talk. (That fact can be verified by looking at the respective page history of the meant articles: 1, 2) It was only after his coming that all these suspicious things happened. Following observations will build upon that,

Connections:

After the initial revert by Misconceptions2, that was reverted by Xtremedood (talk · contribs), a suspicious account appeared that also made a revert, Sajithgayashan (talk · contribs), who was created on the 4^th of March 2016. He only made 1 edit then, before making two reverts: 1, 2, with edit summaries, respectively, "no consensus" (05:52, 14 March), "I saw talk page. But not all will agree with change. I dont agree with delete." (06:03, 14 March 2016), note that these edits were made exactly right after Misconceptions2 re-coming. Meanwhile, in the talk page, Misconceptions2 stated, (20:43) "Cant you see as of RIGHT now there is no consensus. This will turn into an edit war the way its going. I have invited many people who edited this article to comment here. I hope it does not turn into a big edit war." These reverts and edits in this article were amongst the last edits made by Sajithgayashan (talk · contribs), meaning the account was used to push certain changes in a specific situation, and it's not a regular user.
Later on, another account, titled DJ SG Gayashan appeared (who was created in 25 November 2015, with this edit), he made two reverts 1, 2 (19 March). DJ SG Gayashan, Sajithgayashan and SG Gayashan seem to all be related. In one edit summary, Sajithgayashan states: "Created page with 'Why delete my userpage? My other Account DJ Gayashan , also delete?".
Sajithgayashan user page has: "My other Account DJ SG Gayashan , and SG Gayashan"
The user Misconceptions2 seems on a number of occasions to suggest using votes to settle disputes, e.g. here, stating, "Why dont we do a vote on which version should be kept? The longstanding version or the highly redacted version.", since only a minority in the talk subscribe to his handful suggestions, it would seem irrational that he wants to use votes without knowing à priori that he can gather enough through socks, this shows his confidence in recourse to using votes, i.e. his confidence to making enough accounts to fulfill his purposes.
119.30.32.120: Another IP address who made only 4 edits, speaks in the talk of "Muslims only want to censor wikipedia", subscribing to Misconceptions2's conspiracy scenario.
103.41.212.74: This is basically the IP used before the account AmitPaul23 was created, the proof can be seen here (See the signature, add to that the fact that AmitPaul23 edited the article created minutes (22min to be precise) after that, as we will explain). Furthermore, that user is not as new as one would think since the AmitPaul23 account was actually created January 2, 2016 and the first and only thing the user did back then was create a substantial (albiet off-topic) Talk Page section on our beloved Main Page[257]. I think it is also notable that this single edit was done twenty-four days after creating the account, very non-typical behavior. (Observation by: Koala Tea Of Mercy)
The following event, is without doubt one of the weirdest ones I've seen on wiki, in it, Misconceptions2 "coaches" AmitPaul23 on how to become a canvassed edit warrior who knows how to game semi-protection. (c.f. [8], [9]): "Also to be able to edit you need to make 10 edits and become auto confirmed.", stated Misconceptions2, it should be mentioned that the article was at that time semi-protected.
AmitPaul23 made personal attacks, in addition to the blanket revert (link), such as in this edit "Muslms cannot be trusted" and a personal attack "What kind of name is Andalusi, seems ISsupporter".
Misconceptions2 himself made personal attacks, from the beginning with his Muslims conspiracy theory, to his last attacks like "When religion is invovled and you have religious users with names like "XtremeDood" engaged in a conversation I find it hard to imagine there to be compromise", so it is natural to see the same pattern with those other accounts. Similarly, we asked Misconceptions2 from right the beginning to participate and discuss in the #Multiple issues section in which we reached an actual consensus (for e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, implicitly: 1, 2), but to this day, he never participated nor replied there, just like all the other involved IPs and suspicious accounts.
Alexis Ivanov stated once, "Who is this Sajithgayashan who is speaking in broken English ? Sounds like a sockpuppet for someone", Misconceptions2 immediately replied, "If your trying to say his my sock then your wrong. [...]" Even do Alexis Ivanov clearly never meant that.

I tried to mention only some observations, to keep the list short enough.

-Misconceptions2 appears to be either a sockpuppeteer, a meatpuppeteer, or both. Users 1 through 26 (group 1) are single purpose accounts that edit user pages in Misconceptions2's user space or in their own user space with the help of Misconceptions2.  Users 27 through 34 (group 2) are also single purpose accounts that voted in [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of attendance figures at anime conventions]] and/or [[Talk:List of attendance figures at anime conventions]]. There are two patterns characteristic to these puppets.  '''Pattern A''' users edit almost entirely their own user pages and/or Misconception2 user pages.  '''Pattern B''' start out with a few minor edits of articles (sometimes apparently randomly selected articles) and then their edits turn to single-purpose edits.  '''Pattern A''' is most commonly used by those users that started editing from '''July 11''' to '''July 20'''.  '''Pattern B''' emerges from '''July 18''' to '''August 3'''.  '''Pattern B''' first appears in users 1 to 26 (group 1) and continues through users 27 to 34 (group 2).  The continuity of '''Pattern B''' between groups helps establish the connection between the two groups.
-Note for group 2, they all start editing from '''July 20''' to '''July 23''' in apparent anticipation of [[List of attendance figures at anime conventions]] nomination for deletion. The timing of the creation of these accounts fits perfectly with the discussion here [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Anime_and_manga/Archive_56#List_of_attendance_figures_at_anime_conventions] in which there is consensus that [[List of attendance figures at anime conventions]] should be nominated for deletion and misconceptions2 asks for at least 3 days to continue to work on issues with the list article on '''July 19'''.  The list is nominated for AfD on '''July 31'''.

-:35. '''[[User:Mohsinmallik]]''',  added by Juhachi, appears at the very least to be a [[WP:MEAT]] puppet.

On 04 Sep 2011 (the last time I was accused of sock puppetry) I was cleared of sock puppetry: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Misconceptions2/Archive#04_September_2011 here] --[[User:Misconceptions2|Misconceptions2]] ([[User talk:Misconceptions2|talk]]) 00:31, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
-* This SPI along with the checkuser really needs to happen. While the 2011 case was a false alarm, the two previous cases were confirmed along with the fact - and I think someone else mentioned this - that Misconceptions2 was still using their sockpuppet accounts to lie and deny their sockpuppetry to the bitter end. Perhaps this is also a false alarm in which case there won't be any risks for running the check anyway, but the requester has really laid out very clear, detailed evidence that absolutely seems to warrant a check.

He then tasked me to do the edits for him [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Misconceptions2/sports]] and said I will be paid thereafter. However, he was unresponsive after I completed the table and I was not paid for the job. I see he was advertising another "wikipedia job for $250".

-:::*This person Marie013 is a fraud. I have been working together with misconeptions2 to help him create new wikipedia articles and used his user page as sandbox for drafts and he also used mine, I never accepted any payments for this,  since I wanted to also create some anime articles. The agent that person (Marie013) is referring to is me, but it is not as it seems. I told this person to work on Misconceptions2's user page. Misconceptions2 has nothing to do with it. But After I refused to pay her for money I apparently owe her, she started to blackmail me, she even stated that "il see to it he (Misconceptions2) gets banned" if I do not pay her. She has since deleted me on skype and was insinuating that I will not get any sleep over this until I pay up. Misconception2 has almost nothing to do with her.

You should ask her yourself on IRC whether she did or did not say that about someone who she doesn't even know. I have never ever talked with Marie013 before. All my interactions with her were through Jose. This is only way I know her, and I certainly did not promise anyone money in exchange for editing my userpage and no one ever paid me for editing their userpage draft.

+The following observations were all made based on one article and its talk page, namely, [[List of expeditions of Muhammad]], I will not cover many edits  made in "Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of expeditions of Muhammad" ‎since I was not very familiar with the lengthy discussions there, maybe some more experienced user will shade more light on that. In any case, I thought it would be necessary to first include some context. <br>
-**I made that article and blanked it. I am in the same boat as some of the other users. I was also messaged by Jose to help by Jose and happily agreed to contribute and work together to improve wikipedia by making anime articles for free as part of a group calloboration. But I was finding out that it was taking up too much of my time.  I asked Josepaulopineda to pay me if he wants me to continue to help him, although initially I agreed to help for free I had a job I was busy with and wiki was getting in the way. So I couldnt give this hobby of mine anymore time. He refused to pay me. So I refused to work and  blanked the page, I had to put my job first, thats why I wrote: ""making default page cause of no payment deal". I hope it didn't give you the wrong idea. I think Marie is in same boat as me, she probably also wanted some money after all the free work we were doing.--[[User:Mr.neel|NeeL]] ([[User talk:Mr.neel|talk]]) 22:15, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
+In the [[Talk:List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad/Archive_1#Multiple_issues|#Multiple Issues]] section of the talk page of the [[List of expeditions of Muhammad]] article,  a consensus was reached on February 26 (go there for complete details), which lead me to make some heavy changes to the article in question, e.g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&diff=707025000&oldid=707004671 1], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&diff=707028180&oldid=707025000 2], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&diff=707028951&oldid=707028615 3], all of whom were made in the 26<sup>th</sup> of February 2016‎.
-*First of all I don't know Misconceptions2 that well. I was contacted by Josepaulopineda on skype and was asked by him to help make articles about Manga and Anime on wikipedia. I agreed to this as I am a huge anime enthusiast. I also told some of my friends if they would be interested in helping such as "Article contribute". I was never offered any money for this. Though it would be nice if I was. Josepaulopineda told me that Misconceptions2 and some other people are also creating anime articles, I was told if I need any help I should ask him or Misconceptions2. Josepaulopineda  told me he also contacted Marie013, however I dont know this person and I am not the sock puppet of any of those accounts. Josepaulopineda can better explain this spider web, he probably has links to a lot of those accounts who have been creating anime articles. Me and Jose have only worked with people who made anime related aarticles. Those people who edited other articles and voted on articles have nothing to do with me or Jose --[[User:Johnmorales777|Johnmorales777]] ([[User talk:Johnmorales777|talk]]) 14:15, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
+These edits were left unchanged, and no one objected to them, based on the consensus in the talk, until [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&diff=480903504&oldid=480902661 the original creator of that page], namely, {{user|Misconceptions2}}, (re)appeared after a [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Misconceptions2&offset=20160314032222&target=Misconceptions2 3 months and 28 days (14 March 2016--16 November 2015)]  absence. <br>
-*I spoke to Huon and he told me to comment here. (1) I don't really know him. (2) I know this user http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Josepaulopineda (3) Pineda contacted me on skype and told me to edit the userpage and told me to help make anime articles. Just like the above user I was willing to do this because I was very interested in the subject, I also wasn't paid anything. I doubt Pinenda offered money to anyone. This was a collaboration. I was told be Huon Calibrations are allowed on wikipedia. So why should be and Pineda be banned, we didnt do anything disallowed. Huon said to me that it seems like that Pineda "tried to fabricate a consensus to keep an article that should have been deleted". He is referring to the article I helped create. But Pinenda never asked me or anyone I know to vote on that article and I have never voted. So this has got nothing do to with me
+So on March 13, the article's creator (Misconceptions2) [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&diff=709956686&oldid=707045681 reverted the agreed changes], claiming a [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard#Controversial Islamic Article-90% of page wiped out by Muslims, possible bias|muslim conspiracy]] and pinging dozens of users to rescue his article. <br>

+Now there is one important point that should be mentioned, and I think it is a central piece of evidence, which is that <u>before {{u|Misconceptions2}} (re)coming, no reverts, no flow of suspicious accounts making blanket reverts and personal attacks, happened, actually no objections were ever made in the talk.</u> (That fact can be verified by looking at the respective page history of the meant articles: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&offset=20160316151459&action=history 1], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&offset=20160315131511&action=history 2]) It was only after his coming that all these suspicious things happened. Following observations will build upon that,
-::::So what, these 2 users know each other through skype. It doesn't matter if there accounts are made at different times. You so easily accepted Marie013's false allegations about me, when she is trying to get me banned for no good reason other than because she has a grudge against Jose. But you try to find holes in this comment. --[[User:Misconceptions2|Misconceptions2]] ([[User talk:Misconceptions2|talk]]) 21:03, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
-::::::'''Comment''' - The point is that Marie013's account makes sense.  Putting together these huge tables with sources is a lot of work and it looks boring.  How you could get people to do these monotonous tasks on tables in your user space (not articles in Wikipedia) for free is a bit hard to swallow.  She made 50 random edits as she was told to do in article space.   If she was just volunteering to work on your anime projects and was an enthusiast as some of the others have claimed, why didn't she edit anime related articles in those 50 edits?  Why didn't any of the others who edited articles in article space edit anime related articles?  There is not even one that I can find among all the accounts above.  The bottom line is her story passes the credibility test.[[User:I am One of Many|I am One of Many]] ([[User talk:I am One of Many|talk]]) 23:25, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
-:::::::I have no interest in anime--at all. And surely it wasn't voluntary work for my part. He showed me how to fill up those tables through Teamviewer. He made the first two entries of the table as Misconceptions2. Promised to pay me $100 if I complete it all within 10 days and $25 bonus if completed within 5 days. After I completed it, he had a series of excuses for me like he was very busy and that he was hospitalized. That's what made me seek help because I wanted to delete the tables I made. Searching through wiki rules, I learned that my contributions are public. So then I tried to seek help through IRC and met Huon and he directed me to this SPI. PS. I have never ever met Josepaulopineda in Skype nor anywhere else. [[User:Marie013|Marie013]] ([[User talk:Marie013|talk]]) 23:45, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
-Marie013. You are either a liar or your just confused, heres why: <br>
-(1*)First you said you were offered $250 and that another $250 job was offered to you, now you say you were offered $100. Why did you change your story?<br>
-(2*) You said you have no interest in anime AT ALL. I have evidence that you are based on your userpages on othersites.<br>
-(3*) You have not even said where all these jobs were offered/advertised either. You could at least give a link so easily if you were telling truth<br>
-(4*)You told jose: "il see to it he gets banned. :)" this is the skype log Jose provided: Jose said  "Why did you say those things about the Misconceptions2 user? If my friends account gets banned for what you said i wont even check the work". Then later you said: "okay then. have a good sleep if '''you''' can. " and "il see to it '''he''' gets banned. :)", did you or did you not say "il see to it he gets banned. :)", why would you say "he" and not "you" if you think the person you were talking to was misconcenptions2, you should of said "il see to it you get banned. :)". Please explain this? <br>
-(5*) Clearly you acknowledged that there are 2 people through the use of "you" and "he", you said you don't know Jose. If you claim to not know jose and claim you know me, then tell me who is other person?<br>
-P.S I edited the first 2 rows on your user page on Joses request to help you understand how to do it , after I did that he messaged you on skype and said "I did the first one for you", although it would have been better if he said ""Misconception2 did the first one for you", but he preferred to keep his words simple. I also did this for many others Users like Salembouzidi and Mr. Neel see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Misconceptions2/romance&action=history here] . However that does not mean I am the one who told them to edit my userpage.

-extra) I just realised something, after checking Jose's skype chat log, I see that you did not even ONCE ask him his name. Putting aside the fact that you said "il see to it he gets banned.", where HE=Misconception2. which indicates that you know it was NOT me you were talking to on skype. Under such circumstances you can NOT be so sure you were not talking to someone called Jose when you say " I have never ever met Josepaulopineda in Skype nor anywhere else." --[[User:Misconceptions2|Misconceptions2]] ([[User talk:Misconceptions2|talk]]) 01:17, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

+* Later on, another account, titled {{u|DJ SG Gayashan}} appeared (who was created in 25 November 2015, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Martin_Garrix&diff=prev&oldid=692350316 with this edit]), he made two reverts [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&diff=prev&oldid=710795237 1], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&diff=prev&oldid=710876342 2] (19 March). [[User:DJ SG Gayashan|DJ SG Gayashan]], [[User:Sajithgayashan|Sajithgayashan]] and [[User:SG Gayashan|SG Gayashan]] seem to all be related. In one edit summary, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Sajithgayashan Sajithgayashan] states: "''Created page with 'Why delete my userpage? <b>My other Account DJ Gayashan , also delete</b>?''".
+* {{u|Sajithgayashan}} [[User:Sajithgayashan|user page has:]] "My other Account [[DJ SG Gayashan]] , and SG Gayashan"
+* The user {{u|Misconceptions2}} seems on a number of occasions to suggest using votes to settle disputes, e.g. [[Talk:List of expeditions of Muhammad#Protected edit request on 19 March 2016|here]], stating, "''Why dont we do a vote on which version should be kept? The longstanding version or the highly redacted version.''", since only a minority in the talk subscribe to his handful suggestions, it would seem irrational that he wants to use votes without knowing ''à priori'' that he can gather enough through socks, this shows his confidence in recourse to using votes, i.e. his confidence to making enough accounts to fulfill his purposes.
+* [[Special:Contributions/119.30.32.120|119.30.32.120]]: Another IP address who made only 4 edits, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&diff=712360672&oldid=712360584 speaks in the talk] of "Muslims only want to censor wikipedia", subscribing to {{u|Misconceptions2}}'s [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard#Controversial Islamic Article-90% of page wiped out by Muslims, possible bias|conspiracy scenario]].
+* [[Special:Contributions/103.41.212.74|103.41.212.74]]: This is basically the IP used before the account [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:AmitPaul23&action=edit&redlink=1 AmitPaul23] was created, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&diff=prev&oldid=712365520 proof can be seen here] (See the signature, add to that the fact that AmitPaul23 edited the article created minutes [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&dir=prev&offset=20160327105609&action=history (22min to be precise)] after that, as we will explain). Furthermore, that user is '''not''' as new as one would think since the '''AmitPaul23''' account was actually created '''January 2, 2016''' and the first and only thing the user did back then was create a substantial (albiet off-topic) Talk Page section on our beloved Main Page[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page&diff=prev&oldid=701770761 <nowiki>[257]</nowiki>]. I think it is also notable that this single edit was done '''''twenty-four days''''' after creating the account, very non-typical behavior. (Observation by: [[User:Koala Tea Of Mercy|Koala Tea Of Mercy]])
+* The following event, is without doubt one of the weirdest ones I've seen on wiki, in it,  {{u|Misconceptions2}} "coaches" [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:AmitPaul23&action=edit&redlink=1 AmitPaul23] on how to become a [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&diff=next&oldid=712369319 canvassed edit warrior who knows how to game semi-protection]. (c.f. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&diff=712369319&oldid=712368974 <nowiki>[8]</nowiki>], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&diff=712372312&oldid=712371918 <nowiki>[9]</nowiki>]): "Also to be able to edit you need to make 10 edits and become auto confirmed.", stated {{u|Misconceptions2}}, it should be mentioned that the article was at that time semi-protected.
+* [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:AmitPaul23&action=edit&redlink=1 AmitPaul23] made personal attacks, in addition to the blanket revert ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&diff=prev&oldid=712373018 link]), such as in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&diff=prev&oldid=712365319 this edit]  "''Muslms cannot be trusted''" and a [[Wikipedia:NPA|personal attack]] "''What kind of name is Andalusi, seems ISsupporter''".
+* {{u|Misconceptions2}} himself made personal attacks, from the beginning with his [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard#Controversial Islamic Article-90% of page wiped out by Muslims, possible bias|Muslims conspiracy theory]], to his last attacks like "''[[Talk:List of expeditions of Muhammad#Page protected|When religion is invovled and you have religious users with names like "XtremeDood" engaged in a conversation I find it hard to imagine there to be compromise]]''", so it is natural to see the same pattern with those other accounts. Similarly, we asked {{u|Misconceptions2}} from right the beginning to participate and discuss in the [[Talk:List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad/Archive_1#Multiple_issues|#Multiple issues]] section in which we reached an actual consensus (for e.g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&diff=710073439&oldid=709996194 1], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&diff=710089151&oldid=710076728 2], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&diff=710102626&oldid=710101860 3], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&diff=710897388&oldid=710894074 4], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&diff=710887378&oldid=710887177 5], implicitly: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&diff=710216049&oldid=710214930 1], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&diff=710886770&oldid=710885218 2]), but [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad&oldid=712660932#Multiple_issues to this day], he never participated nor replied there, just like all the other involved IPs and suspicious accounts.
+* {{u|Alexis Ivanov}} [[Talk:List_of_expeditions_of_Muhammad#Summary_as_of_14-03-2016|stated once]], "Who is this Sajithgayashan who is speaking in broken English ? Sounds like a sockpuppet for someone", {{u|Misconceptions2}} immediately replied, "If your trying to say his my sock then your wrong. [...]" Even do {{u|Alexis Ivanov}} clearly never meant that.
+* See also {{u|Elaenia}}'s comment [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AConflict_of_interest%2FNoticeboard&type=revision&diff=709976533&oldid=709973496 here].

-:I figured that Misconceptions2 would get a notification, but I'll place a notification on their talk page.--[[User:I am One of Many|I am One of Many]] ([[User talk:I am One of Many|talk]]) 21:04, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
-*{{CURequest}}  - {{Selfendorse}} - I'm endorsing this for the very least on editors 27 - 34 in the numbered list, as users who all registered at around the same time and piled on to an AFD together. The rest of the evidence is pretty concerning, and perhaps a CU against the rest of the accounts is warranted as well. Misconceptions2 has been caught socking in the past, which he also vigorously denied until blocked. [[User:Someguy1221|Someguy1221]] ([[User talk:Someguy1221|talk]]) 01:58, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
-*{{cunote}} Comments like "This really needs to happen soon", no matter whether they're coming from the accused or people with some other interest in the case, are completely useless. I am trying to get this done but sometimes there are delays.
