 * Enough enwiki similarities that I'm fine deferring to the Commons CU results. Please block Tetrios in Korea indefinitely as a suspected sock of Bhuvanhungund, and please re-block Tetris.io with autoblock enabled, also as a suspected sock.  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 05:00, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

 * These 4 accounts are all ✅ to each other, and to SSSHUBLI from 16 March 2022. They also match some notes I found in cuwiki.  I'm going to block them, but I'll leave the tagging to others who are more familiar with the case .  I also left some notes of my own in cuwiki. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:06, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

 * The recreation of Dharwad Regional Science Centre matches the deleted version almost word-for-word (even the "retrieved" dates in the references are the same), so I'm comfortable blocking despite the ambiguous CU data. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 23:34, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I've blocked as well—same interest in Dharwad and substantial overlap with other socks (see Hubballi-Dharwad Urban Development Authority, Belur Industrial Area, etc.) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 23:43, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
