 * first made the case to me that Yevaraina was a likely GOOD morning suspect.
 * Lots of areas of overlap as indicated here. Note the heavy interest in Jyothika and at Filmfare Award for Best Actress – Tamil.
 * Typically speaking, when someone edits Indian film articles, they typically focus on a specific area of interest, like Malayalam-language films or Tamil-language films. Both users seem to be all over the map, editing articles across multiple languages. And they both seem interested in film award articles. Yevaraina apparently likes to add non-notable awards to articles.
 * GOOD morning seemed incapable of signing their talk page posts. Had the same problem with Yevaraina. Note also that competency was one reason why GOOD morning was indeffed.

I've presently indeffed Yevaraina for a flagrant copyright violation, with a sockpuppetry suspicion chaser. I'm curious what info Ravensfire has. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:34, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment As Cyphoidbomb noted, I completely agree with his analysis. The master is quite old, so any decision must be behavior based.  After being blocked for multiple issues, GOOD morning was generally using the IP range .  It's got a fair number of good editor, so nothing that can be blocked, but certain edits would stand out as being from GM.  In late 2018,  was created that was very similar to GM in editing style, showing a strong focus on promoting Jyothica and pushing down certain other Indian actresses.  As with GM and now Yevaraina, most of their edits are pretty good.  I don't know why they abandoned the Yog account.  When the Yev account was created, the early edits were okay, and then they started to hit the Filmfare Award articles.  One of their habits is anything that doesn't cover Jyothica that isn't sourced is blanked as unsourced, but if it has Jyothica, it's all good.  They have a strong focus on award articles.  All three accounts show minimal use of edit summaries, minimal communication and a common focus on Indian actresses and films.  See the overlap on all three accounts -.


 * I've zero doubt this is GOOD morning returned. I wish they'd done this openly and addressed the concerns that have been raised.  A topic ban from Jyothica and Award articles, and a requirement to use edit-summaries and immediately address concerns raised would probably help get them on the right path.  The deception, using IP's to edit-war, blatant POV edits and copyright issues still happening after several years is very concerning.  Ravensfire  (talk) 18:39, 29 June 2020 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty sure they've continued to use IP's to get around their current block. See 's edits on |Filmfare Award for Best Actress – Tamil history where they reverted a different IP that reverted Yev's edits.  That said, I would have also reverted that other IP's edits, but not good so see obvious block evasion.  Ravensfire  (talk) 18:46, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Closing as Yevaraina is already blocked indefinitely. Blocked IP for 24 hours as it is already 2 days stale and that puts it to 3. Happy to extend if they continue. Closing. The SandDoctor  Talk 04:36, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
