 * While Invisiblelibrarian doesn't appear to be that user's only account, and ExtraCautious' one edit is on a colocation provider, the two accounts are . stick to one account when editing. You won't be warned a second time. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:19, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

I got a doubt and went through the top edited pages of both of them. In this case, they've aligned perfectly: N. Chandrababu Naidu, Amaravati, and HITEC City. But, I suggest someone check into this case. iMahesh ( talk ) 12:24, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

 * - CU won't be helpful here, Invisibelibrarian is . The two accounts do overlap in a number of articles, and I see that the sock is making similar changes to the master (e.g. changing the name of Beach Road, Visakhapatnam). Good enough behavioral evidence for me, . GeneralNotability (talk) 13:04, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Pointed out on my talk page. Looking at the interaction I see a decent amount of overlap, and they use fairly similar edit summary grammar/style. GeneralNotability (talk) 00:42, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

Same topic area, in and around N. Chandrababu Naidu article. The sock master was notable for bloating the article and make it look like a humongous resume in the Dec 2019 - Apr 2020 period. THe suspected sock seems to be doing the same. Interaction. Requesting CU. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:58, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

 * No, not at the moment. Only one targeted page . - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:23, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
 * There was another sockfarm active in that article User:Snthilakammarist. Will it be possible to check them? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:25, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
 * May be not, editing style and interests are quite different  that this one. Also a much wider editing area. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:30, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
 * That sockfarm appears still to be active (most recent case just a few days ago), and they look different from Salivahana. Girth Summit  (blether)  08:42, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I just noticed a a relatively new user who tried to restore a very old version of the targeted article today, full of COI-Advertisement-Resume like stuff, that were added by the sockmaster. This new user did the same in March . Will it be possible to check them here in this report, or I've to file a new case? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:25, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I've taken a look, they look different again though. I'm going to p-block them from that article though for DE. Girth Summit  (blether)  17:42, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

 * I am a checkuser, not a clerk. This case is currently awaiting a clerk to endorse or decline the request. As an opinion only, I suggest the data is likely stale so there's probably nothing a checkuser can do. That is, I think this could be declined. We do sometimes strike it lucky with the logs, though. --Yamla (talk) 21:56, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
 * There is some data in the CU logs for the master and some of their old socks, but that puts them on a different continent from Salivahana and it doesn't look to me like they are using proxies. People move, I guess, but this would require strong behavioural evidence to take any action. At the moment, I'm seeing overlap on a single article -, is there any more to this than that one article?  Girth Summit  (blether)  18:19, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Per the CU results and discussion above, I'm not convinced that this account is a sock. There may be a COI issue but that can be dealt with through other venues. Closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 00:19, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
