The master is old but it's a DUCK connect to Jaswant11, so I'm listing together. All three accounts have a serious obsession with Raj TV and the associated programs on that channel. Brindavijay03 has also copied over the user page of the master. Master and Jaswanth11 have been independently blocked for disruption, the new sock also needs to be, but I'd like to record the SPI and see if there's anything else. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  06:03, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

The same obsession on Raj TV, Mouna Raagam (TV Series) etc like the old socks. is an example. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  06:03, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

Both of the listed accounts have been blocked as ducks after reverting Raj TV to their preferred version with the weird notice about our blocking policy. I have semi-protected the article, but with the last named accounts being autoconfirmed, they would have been able to edit through the semi-protection. I'm requesting a sleeper check to see what other accounts, if any, are out there. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:06, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

 * The two accounts are ✅. ., next time please don't request a sleeper check unless you have a reasonable basis for believing that other accounts are out there, e.g., every time a CU is run, the CheckUser finds more accounts than are initially suspected. That's not the case here, and by all rights I should have declined the CU request as the accounts were already blocked as obvious, but it wasn't too time-consuming, so I ran it anyway. Thanks for your understanding.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:20, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
 * My apologies. I really did think that other accounts might be out there.  I don't think I have the habit of filing excessive CU requests, but perhaps I do.  When the David03112000 account returned more than a day after the Jashkknagar account made the same edit, I thought that there may be additional accounts out there.  I didn't notice until just now that the David03112000 account had edited the article talk page, which should have been a tip off to me. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 19:29, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
 * No need to apologize. I never said you filed excessive CU requests. Generally, it's SOP that when an SPI is filed and the accounts are already blocked, a clerk will often just close it. Anyway, it's no big deal, and don't let it stop you from making a CU request in the future if you think it's justified, although a clerk will often self-endorse a CU if they think it's warranted, even in the absence of a request.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:35, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

The earlier socks have all had this interest in TV serials of Raj TV and Polimer TV, especially dubbings. This one has also been edit warring to include dubbed versions as articles -- Sindhu Bhairavi (TV series), Mouna Raagam (Indian TV Series); created after the last block and then there's the complaining about, though that's quite common among all the Indian TV sock drawers. On an unrelated theme the Megacity article is also favored by the sock drawer and this one. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  03:49, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

The same Raj TV obsession as the older socks (I blocked a couple per DUCK in the last few days including some IPs), but since this is a new set of articles involved in addition to the template and also the potential for some others that I haven't found yet, I'm bringing it here. and IPs I've blocked are and  &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  14:11, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Newly created account with large topical overlap regarding Raj TV, and very similar edits. For examples, see edit histories of Nilave Malare (TV series), List of programs broadcast by Raj TV and Template:Raj TV shows, and other related series articles.

Obvious block evasion: the day after User:Vimal2300 is blocked for continual re-forking of Colors (TV channel) at Colors (Indian TV channel), Colors (Indian TV Channel), Draft:Colors TV etc., this new account creates identical fork at Draft:Colors TV (India). TMGtalk 07:54, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

After this new draft submission was declined, Christina74124 moved it anyway to Colors TV (India):, then like yesterday's sock Vimal2300, updated the usual link targets and template with the new spelling variant: , , , etc. TMGtalk 14:06, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

Christina74124 then attempted to resurrect Colors (Hindi TV Channel) from redirect, with same content:. TMGtalk 14:40, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

Christina74124 also created identical forks Colors Hindi and Colors (Hindi TV channel), and placeholder redirects Colors (Viacom 18) and Colors TV (Viacom 18). TMGtalk 04:40, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

Jpsorts attempted to re-create indef-protected Colors (TV channel) at Draft:Colors (TV channel): please see SPI archive for the history of attempted page forks. Shortly after this was speedied G12, Jpsorts also tried twice to unredirect Colors (Viacom 18), created by blocked sock User:Christina74124: ,. Same editor created two redirects to this fork: Colors (Tv channel) and retargeting of Colors (Tv Channel) a few minutes later:. In between these two rapid requests was a move request from Colors (Tv channel) to Colors (TV channel):.

Other similarities in edit patterns of blocked sock Christina74124 and Jpsorts:
 * on Viacom 18: Christina74124 ,. Jpsorts (made before edits of Christina74124)
 * on Template:Network 18: Christina74124 ,,. Jpsorts ,,
 * on List of programs broadcast by Colors: Christina74124 ,,. Jpsorts

Varunkumar19: half an hour after I reverted the unredirect of Colors (Viacom 18), and after two weeks of inactivity, new and little-used account again attempted to unredirect:. TMGtalk 01:19, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

I filed a new SPI at Sockpuppet investigations/SolomonV2, but it appears this might be the same sockmaster, as the one still active has clear crossover with several recent socks in editing the Colors TV (see their deleted contributions). The SPI has also been open nearly two weeks now... Number  5  7  19:58, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
