I'd say this is a duck. Both began editing on the same day, there are obvious naming similarities and both have been adding a huge block of inappropriate text to Telaga. The crossover on other articles is also very evident. Sitush (talk) 10:31, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

 * ✅, blocked, and tagged. As the filer stated, this was a duck case. In such instances, I'd appreciate a reason why you're endorsing a CU. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:32, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

This simply has to be a duck. The two prior sock accounts were blocked and within hours this one turns up and their first edit (and thus far only one) is to restore the dreadful content that the prior socks supported. I think we probably need to semi-protect the article for a month or so also. Sitush (talk) 07:13, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

QUACK, I see DUCKS! Most accounts listed above are engaging in similar behavior. Most all are interesting a high amount of copyrighted text as well. ,, , --allthefoxes (Talk)  20:37, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Only one user, Aloksharma, has actually edited the Telugu page. What is your complaint? Curro2 (talk) 03:49, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Kapu (caste) is a very very closely related article also being edited by others, and is a common link. All the accounts are continually posting the same links, have very similar speech. Some accounts are actually posting identical comments on each of the talk pages. No doubt they are connected. See and  --allthefoxes (Talk)  03:54, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Quite obviously a duck quacking into a megaphone. Same pages, same comments, even admits they are the same user. ,. --allthefoxes (Talk) 16:19, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Added another IP, with diff. Quack. --allthefoxes (Talk) 17:49, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Added third IP. None of these seem to be in a range which is not cool. diff:. --allthefoxes (Talk) 18:16, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

 * The IPs are all over the place, with plenty of ranges at their disposal. I've (somewhat reluctantly) semi-protected the talk page for 24 hours as a temporary band-aid.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 18:39, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Same name and editing the same page with the same information? quack. ,. Don't know if CU is needed here, so someone can decline that if its not needed. Check for sleepers? I dunno, you guys are the experts here. --allthefoxes (Talk) 00:12, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

 * I think a CU would be needed. Naidu is a common name. - Kautilya3 (talk) 01:31, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * - I honestly think I made a mistake and this should be closed. The behavior I was looking for is mostly present in the currently involved IP editors on the talk page of the Kapu (caste) article. This user may be related, but I don't think I would have enough behavioral evidence to justify any kind of CU. --allthefoxes (Talk) 00:18, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Geolocate to different areas and other technical data does not demonstrate clear enough of a relationship. -- Avi (talk) 02:18, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * - Can you show us that editing the same page with the same information? Can you provide some diffs?  Vanjagenije   (talk)  23:28, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
