 * Comparing to the CU log, it is considering that CU log information only gives limited technical information. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 22:14, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * The content of the new and old versions of Draft:Dhumik Pravin are substantially different, and the writing styles seem unlikely to have come from a single person. UPE seems likely, but I don't see enough here to block Dhumikpravin1 as a sock. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:54, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

More Dhumik Pravin nonsense – see Motzoid India, or indeed this. CU requested, as the CU for Oatsjvs didn't turn up this account. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:08, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

 * On the CU data alone, I can't get better than, and the deleted versions of Motzoid India are significantly different. My inclination would be two different people chasing the same UPE commission.  I'll let a clerk make the final call on this one. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:40, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I am inclined to agree with you here. However, I don't think I've ever made a UPE block. Is the Twinkle preset appropriate or how would you block them? The SandDoctor  Talk 15:43, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The Twinkle preset looks fine, but maybe also add "possibly related to Sockpuppet investigations/DPLIVE202" in the comment? -- RoySmith (talk) 15:48, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

First edit was to recreate Draft:Motzoid India previously pushed by this sock master. User name indicates may imply the user is the founder of the company and ties a more direct link to the master of DPLIVE202 McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 21:39, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

New user doing enough edits to achieve the minimal requirements to get autoconfirmed and substantial push to promote Dhumik Pravin.

LighthousingDju created 12 Oct. Recreated Motzoid India at Draft:Motzoid India, moved it to Motzoid, then congratulated themselves at their talk page on the "accepted draft". This one's got a fake Google Scholar reference, which is a nice touch. Wikishovel (talk) 12:53, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I came here to make the same report. I have moved the article in question back to draft space as it was an attempt to bypass the protection at Motzoid India. I would also endorse a CU check as this one has a fairly large sock drawer. McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 13:20, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

New account created in January. Created a few legit drafts and redirects, then yesterday created Zolawadi, home village of "Dhumik Pravin - An Indian Youtuber and founder of Motzoid India", and today recreated salted Motzoid India at Motzoid india. Wikishovel (talk) 20:23, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
