 * Is the first group (or any other) confirmed to ManiSahota? Should he be blocked?  Vanjagenije  (talk)  22:40, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

 * for CU attention. These new suspected socks appear very similar to earlier socks (see archive page), and I believe it makes sense to check again and see if a connection can be confirmed with the suspected sockmaster.  I understand the previous CU found a large group (and two smaller groups) of confirmed accounts, but wasn't able to make a conclusive link to the suspected sockmaster  for technical reasons.  If a second CU check at this point still shows no strong connection to ManiSahota, I would be disinclined to approve any further CU's here without substantial new evidence or a reconstruction of the case so as not to include ManiSahota.  —  Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 02:39, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I really need to leave the house, so excuse the lack of pretty templates. Confirmed are ",, , , , and " Courcelles (talk) 20:34, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
 * To add, I can't say anything conclusive about "ManiSahota". I've got webhosts in six different countries between these socks and the archive, but it is possible from a technical prospective.  Courcelles (talk) 20:38, 1 December 2015 (UTC)


 * No new domains spammed by the confirmed accounts. MER-C 20:30, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
