Suspected sockpuppets

 * Konguhead was blocked today for disruptive editing after they tried to remove a talk page section added by me in Talk:Gounder. And 27 minutes later, Wikieye0 was created and the account's first edit was to answer to the section where I only pinged Konguhead, with the same type of statements Konguhead made on their talk page.
 * Both called other's edits as vandalism; You were doing vandalism. There's personal vandalism against me a hour from each other.
 * Both accounts asked the article to be "translated" from Tamil wiki because there were "mistakes".
 * refs and sources, refs and cites
 * Wikieye0 asked User:Arjayay who reverted the edit of Konguhead in Gounder to self revert and then canvassed another editor to do the same.

Note: Konguhead was reported to ANI days back for their disruption, legal threats, personal attacks, COI and there was a consensus to block them before their current block. The thread was automatically archived before admins could take action. The archived thread is at here - SUN EYE 1  15:13, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' I would have asked for this myself, but read the post on my talk page on my phone, which makes it far more difficult. A new account resuming when the original one was blocked - same linguistic style/mistakes and same misunderstandings about WP:reliable sources - Arjayay (talk) 16:20, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Anthrodox was created 10 days after Konguhead was CU blocked.
 * Almost all of Konguhead's edits were at Kongu Vellalar and Gounder. While almost all of Anthrodox's edits are at Vellalar, a community closely related to Kongu Vellalar.
 * Konguhead removed an image at Malayali (tribe) by giving out legal threats.. Anthrodox placed a speedy deletion tag on the image in commons.
 * Konguhead added only one image File:Kalingarayan.jpg out of all their edits. After it was deleted, Anthrodox uploaded the same image to commons and added it..
 * Called edits of other users as Vandalism like the past socks.,
 * Accounts mentioned "Vokkaliga" and calls them warriors like past sock.All of the refs and sources of Vokkaliga and Gounder denotes they were warriors and rulers Vokkaliga mentions "As community of warriors and landlords" in the page.
 * Similar statements: valid refs and cites, valid refs and sources . Anothrodox and the past socks use "refs" for references almost everywhere.

Also please ECP protect Vellalar per WP:GS/CASTE - SUN EYE 1  06:11, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Exhistorian started to edit after 21 days on 16:25, 30 November 2022 UTC. A hour later on 17:54, 30 November 2022 UTC, the last blocked sock was created and made a edit request on Talk:Vellalar after 8 minutes.
 * Exhistorian then made a request to decrease the page protection at Talk:Vellalar and used the template.. A past sock  used the admin help template make a edit request in the same talk page.
 * Exhistorian then responded to the declined edit request made by the last blocked sock, 52 minutes after it was declined.. This was two hours after the last sock was blocked.
 * Pings the same users in their talk pages like past socks.
 * Refers to another article Vokkaliga to support their content like past socks. - SUN EYE 1  05:47, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

 * - This is a bit of a mess. Most of the accounts are stale, and at a glance, the IPs geolocate to several different countries. Editing the same article as a previous sock, on its own, isn't convincing evidence (especially when they are controversial caste-related articles)., please provide more specific evidence, preferably focusing on accounts and IPs that have been recently active. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 21:33, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't think this report is going anywhere. I can't parse it. For further reference, User:Blablubbs/How to file a good SPI contains advice for effective SPI reports. . MarioGom (talk) 20:58, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
