Both the sockmaster and the sockpuppet uses the same style of edit summaries: "Pls don't change my edit" -- DaxServer (talk) 18:55, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

 * - ducky based on the summaries, the fact that both the account and the IP seem to almost exclusively make tweaks to infoboxes and the overlap. The master is currently indefinitely partial-blocked from mainspace so they start communicating; this does not appear to be a WP:THEYCANTHEARYOU issue – based on the tags, they should be seeing the messages. Please upgrade the master's block to sitewide for socking and, if someone gets to this soon enough, block  for 48 hours. Anything longer than that wouldn't do any good. FYI ping to, who placed the partial block. Thanks.  --Blablubbs&#124;talk 20:17, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

 * . That's definitely them, but unfortunately, the IPs here are absurdly dynamic – by the time someone would get to blocking this one, they'll be on a new one. It seems that the only effective rangeblock here would be, but that range is absurdly busy and the collateral wouldn't be justifiable at this time. I see their edits have been reverted – I'm afraid that's all we can do for now. Closing. --Blablubbs&#124;talk 07:34, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

The IP user is also using the same format of edit summaries "Pls don't change my edit" and is changing the images in the articles, like the same as sockmaster and other puppets -- DaxServer (talk) 13:11, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

 * @Dreamy Jazz, they're already on a new IP on the same /45 – it looks like this provider doesn't do /64s. My assumption is that they float around on individual subranges for a brief period of time, before hopping to another subrange of the same /32. --Blablubbs&#124;talk 10:57, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

It looks like Atharv Bakshi has learnt not to use the same edit summaries. This account has reverted the block evasion revert Special:Diff/1028986820. As Bakshi uses dynamic IPs, it is unfortunately difficult to match using IPs. -- DaxServer (talk) 12:19, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
