 * . Although this is the first SPI, an indefinite block on the master is appropriate given the length of socking in this case. KevinL ( aka L235 · t · c) 23:46, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

 * شیرِدکن is to Bunkebab.  I'm not calling it confirmed only because it's a wide IP range and common user agent.  I don't have hard data back to Magichero1234, but based on hints from the logs, I'd say it's .  As for the behavioral aspects, these seem like POVs that might be shared by many people in a given region, so I'll leave that to somebody more familiar with subject matter. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:00, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The name transliteration (which I was able to verify for myself with some Googling) seems like a strong enough piece of evidence to link these accounts to and by extension, the master.  - please indef these two accounts as suspected socks of Magichero1234.

Exact same Urdu/Deccani/Hyderabadi (including these topic areas) POVPUSH. The most egregious example being the insertion of country at Hyderabad State as previously repeatedly wanted and inserted by the master, see Talk:Hyderabad State. Also the POV removal of India much in the same lines of the master and previous socks, which the editor interaction also makes much apparent. This sock also being created shortly after the prev ones were banned.

. Still asking for a CU to check for sleepers and further confirm this. Gotitbro (talk) 15:57, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Another thing I noticed was this sort of insertion of the phrase "Hyderabad Deccan" is characteristic of this master, and Bangarukodipetta has been carrying on this behavior: . I ran a check on Bangarukodipetta, and the technical data is consistent with historical data we have for Bunkebab on the cuwiki . Based on all of this, I agree that Bangarukodipetta is a sock. The following account is ✅ to Bangarukodipetta: . , closing. Mz7 (talk) 05:42, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
