 * I gave it thought and am certain this is a different person. The main focus of the socks in the archive seemed to be UPE, unlike Rehmankhan7740. Most of the evidence is too indirect, also this article is not about an actress. Closing with no action. Sro23 (talk) 01:18, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Has recreated at least two articles previously created and deleted under new names: N.V.S. Reddy under Nallamilli Venkat Satyanarayan Reddy and Indica (Pranay Lal) under Indica : A Deep Natural History of the Indian Subcontinent. Pretty clear case of WP:DUCK, especially how closely together both of the articles were created time-wise. The main reason why I have requested CU is to find and root out any sleeper accounts.

, I have tagged the sock's creations per G5 and reverted all of the sock's edits. Admins, please indef per WP:DUCK. -- Java Hurricane  17:11, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

, could you please globally rename the master for Indo-Aryan expletives per the user below? -- Java Hurricane  03:29, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I am aware of this expletive username, but I don't thing we should go for a rename. User is already blocked and renaming will just create extra work of tagging and moving this case. Plus there's no practice of renaming expletive account other than they are not targetting specific user, in such cases accounts are generally hidden by stewards. &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 07:26, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

Sleeper sock created last year and activated after the last SPI.

. See:

Updating Bhakti Rathod, which he created through previous sock.

Updating Patna section.

Updating 'personal life' section on Akbaruddin Owaisi.

This needs to be checkusered because this user has always got numerous socks and sleepers. Raymond3023 (talk) 07:51, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Saumyalakhani = and both are on same ranges that have been checked before for this master. --  Amanda  (aka DQ) 15:34, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * - I have compared Saumyalakhani with older socks and behavioral comparison shows that this is likely the same user. Their key similarities are almost overlapping edit timecard, 90% edits without any summary and most notably a pattern of adding images to articles. Like here updated image and later came with another account to add info related to same sponsor in image. Same at . Also formatting wise Special:Diff/978568065 and Special:Diff/942525435/942526312 are almost identical. So Please block both the socks indefinitely. &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 16:13, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Jirdawanasingh is same name as other blocked socks, of this sock master. Adding same content but on a different page this time to avoid detection.

Nastrack87 is obviously Jirdawanasingh..

Obviously a sock. But seems to be belonging to this sock farm with the same edits as earlier socks, i.e. creating new section on Hindutva, and sourcing on Hindu nationalism. LearnIndology (talk) 06:34, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * But then who's sock Shahinshah121 is? Account created in 2018 and made first edits this month like he is editing for years. Clearly a sleeper sock. LearnIndology (talk) 06:05, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
