Paulvinpaulson got blocked for spamming indiancinemas.in at many movie pages. Now Mbsibin came adding the same link of indiancinemas.in at Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. He even created the deleted article Indiancinemas.in. They have some connection. Also find the user who created this article Indiancinemas Galaxy Kid (talk) 05:09, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

User:Rajeshbieee has given his mobile number and E-Mail in his userpage, and claims he doesn't do paid editing. Check User might not catch this guy so easily he is using different device. He might be in contact though off wiki. He is from Kerala and the websites he promotes is also from Kerala. This is written on his userpage to confuse us:

"I am a Malayali from Punalur, Kollam district, Kerala. Suggestions/Opinions are always welcome. You can contact me at rajes434@gmail.com / +919380922411 . I do not edit or otherwise contribute to any WikiMedia article or project on behalf of any employer, client, or affiliated person, organization, or other entity; nor do I receive or solicit any compensation for any edits or other contributions."

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

• I'm abstaining from participation in the adminning here, but Rajeshbieee's addition of content here that cites PaulvinPaulson is *hiiiiighly* suspect. I find it incomprehensible that someone with 18000+ edits across several years would not be able to spot a garbage review from a writer at a crappy cookie-cutter blog source, particularly when there is a user going by that same name, Paulvin Paulson, editing at the very same article who is promoting his own review. A CU is vital here. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:33, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
  • Just to note that Rajeshbieee is currently under an indefinite restriction -- is not allowed to upload any media under any license -- placed my me. There's Bbb23's finding in this yet-to-be-closed-SPI: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Gantlet, and a checkuser block of an old account -- Rajeshbiee (talk · contribs · count). Cyphoidbomb, this may provide you context for the "18000" edits, I had to remove autopatrolled a couple of weeks ago due to this promo editing. —SpacemanSpiff 06:43, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
• The content of the two deleted pages is identical. Special:Undelete/Indiancinemas.in was created by Mbsibin and Special:Undelete/Indiancinemas was created by Paulvinpaulson. The pages state that "Indiancinemas.in is an Indian online portal founded by Sibin M.B and Paulvin Paulson", which would explain the two usernames. MER-C 17:18, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
• Mbsibin (talk · contribs · count) and Paulvinpaulson (talk · contribs · count) are  Possible but much more likely meat.
• Rajeshbieee (talk · contribs · count) is  Unrelated.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:40, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
• I have blocked Mbsibin 1 week for spamming. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 02:11, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
• And Paulvinpaulson has been indeffed for spamming. NeilN ^{talk to me} 22:08, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
