Master removed the prod from Vishal Watwani that was created by the suspected sock. Both editing in the same area, creating the same kind of articles and repeating exactly the same edits. Requesting CU for their technical relation and sleepers. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 09:34, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

 * I understand that the case is closed now, but I just wanted to keep it here for the record. The edits are almost always in articles about Indian TV actors and in many cases the editor adds birth dates to articles without any references. I have been cleaning up some of the mess recently, so I am glad they have been blocked., thank you for spotting this.--DreamLinker (talk) 16:28, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

✅, . I believe the master is an older sockmaster but not quite sure which one. — Berean Hunter   (talk)  11:02, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Ducky by name and by major intersection with the other socks, especially Babu Rajchandra Das. I am going to indef on that basis, but wouldn't mind someone deciding whether or not a CU might be a good idea since they initially had two accounts at once, and it's been a while since we've looked into their whole deal.

I indef'ed for direct behavior (repeated BLP violations after numerous warnings and a block for said behavior). Haven't investigated the sock situation. DMacks (talk) 04:22, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks much. I've deleted Vishal Watwani, their recently-created article. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:28, 5 January 2020 (UTC)


 * This edit (only visible to admins) by Aksh Mondal has the same hallmarks as Rina Mantu Mondal does at Draft:Kanika Kohli. So now behaviorally tied to both previous accounts. DMacks (talk) 04:30, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Also Rina Mantu Mondal created Draft:Kanika Kohli, which was an attempt to recreate Kanika Kohli, which was created by Babu Rajchandra Das. So, many points of confirmation. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:34, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

I've now also blocked for 1 week: who is adding links to the socks' Draft-space pages (which is another behavior of the named accounts). Given the socking with named accounts and use of an IP also, I think a CU is in order (no question that the IP is who I suspect, but that there may be yet other accounts we have not yet uncovered).

 * Also deleted Draft:Kanika Kohli, Draft:Niyati Joshi and Draft:Sareeka Dhillon just so we have these names on record. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:45, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Rina Mantu Mondal is ✅—I searched fairly extensively, but this was the only registered account I found after (confirmed by another checkuser in November). ., closing. Mz7 (talk) 06:08, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Now: has arisen. Blocked 1 week. DMacks (talk) 14:23, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
