The above accounts are ones that I'm fairly certain are all socks of each other. They came to my attention after seeing reverting spam links to Gilli.tv.


 * Gillitv - Created 13 September 2017 - Gilli spam 2/4 instances at Star Gold and Star Plus - No edit summaries. This could be the actual master, but barring any clear behavioral similarities, I'm listing Jack8979 as the sockmaster, since his edits are the earliest that clearly match the other accounts. ❌
 * Jack8979 - Created 23 October 2017 - Gilli spam 2 instances on 9 January 2018 and 22 January 2018 - looks like sleeper account, as he didn't do anything (not even deleted contribs) between user creation and this spam. Note edit summaries "I just added a new citation." and "I just add new citation to related this article for help others" Also note addition of quotm.com quote site. ❌
 * Starplus786 - Created 9 January 2018 - Gilli spam: - See edit summary "I just added a new citation". Also note addition of quotm.com here ❌

These are editors who added Gilli.tv links to various pages, but who may not be related directly to the above: Whew! Please also note the parallel discussion here, where Gilli.tv was added to the spam blacklist. I didn't bother blocking the IPs, as they'll probably just keep changing, and since I added the site to the blacklist, this probably won't be a big issue going forward. IPs geolocate to Punjab, Pakistan, ISP: Pakistan Telecommuication company limited. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:24, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * AbdulRehman Bhatti - Created 22 April 2017 - Gilli links here and here. Not so much spam, but he seems to be indicating that he works as a web developer for Gilli.tv. Could this be the actual master? There's no other clear parallel to the other accounts, though. ❌ - Wasn't here to contribute to the encyclopedia anyway. Edits limited to vanity user page.
 * Alihassan124 - Created 18 September 2017 - Gilli spam 1 instance at Star Plus. Note his odd usage of "Attached" to describe the addition of a wikilink here. Clearly the same guy as Ali Hassann. ❌
 * Ali Hassann - Created 27 August 2017 - Gilli spam 1 instance at Internet television. Note his odd usage of "Attached" to describe the addition of a wikilink. Also note addition of theboots.net "Online boots products" spam. ❌
