I added that Poola Rangadu (2012 film) was a remake on the page, and supported it with proper references. This was removed by IP addresses and I kept adding them back whenever I landed up on the page again. I requested Page Protection and it was PCR protected. The IP editor then decided to create an account to remove my referenced additions, and thus the account Veerabhadrammullapudi was formed (note the account has the same name as the director of the movie). All that the account did was remove the references and the data which would promptly be restored by other editors, since it was under PCR protection. His contributions show that. Not content with that, he would also remove the data from the original movie's page as in here.

He was pinged on the movie's talk page and warned on his own, though he chose to not respond to them, and subsequently this person was blocked for a week on the 15th at 9:34. On the same day at 12:34 Padmaja mullapudi, forms her account (note the same surname as before). She continues with the same duck like behaviour as before and removes the references from the original movie and from Poola Rangadu (2012 film), which again are the only thing she does. They even share the same edit summaries - Padmaja and Veerabhadram and therefore seem like ducks to me.

Dhaanunjaya is a probably not directly related to the two. He has been running a hoax page for the last 2 years Articles for deletion/Dhanunjaya Rao. Searching for him reveals that he is running an SEO firm. He was probably brought in, because Veerabhadram might have believed that a confirmed user's edits would be accepted. His edits have also been similar, and he was lying dormant since making the hoax page, which was the reason why his hoax page was never spotted before. His removal of content on the page was accepted by a editor who had just received the PCR right, but was quickly reverted back to before, though he didn't edit war after that as I tagged his hoax page for deletion.

Reverting referenced content on Poola Rangadu (2012 film) like the previous socks. Seems to be done by somebody close to the director of the movie Veerabhadram Chowdary (one of the previous socks had his name), with the current sock sharing a name with that of his son as per the director's Wikipedia page.

 * @Jupitus Smart The previous sock was 4 years ago. Is there something specific that makes you think this is the same person, as opposed to simply somebody else who is interested in this film?  Can you point to some specific edit from a previous sock which is identical to from from ? -- RoySmith (talk) 16:51, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
