 * Nairspecht was blocked on 24 October. Jean Stair created his account on the same day.
 * Both of them extensively edit List of Malayalam films of 2016. Jean has also created List of Malayalam films of 2017. In https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Malayalam_films_of_2016&action=history all I see is Jean Stair. Before that it used to be Nairspecht https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Malayalam_films_of_2016&offset=20161021072620&action=history.
 * Jean uses HotCat and Twinkle extensively, besides being proficient in the workings of Wikipedia. Fishy for a new user.
 * Both of them are extensively possessive about protecting Mukesh Ambani's page. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mukesh_Ambani&action=history all I see is Jean Stair. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mukesh_Ambani&offset=20160918163723&action=history Lots of Nairspecht.

 * - I'm a bit on the edge (for the record, the alleged sock was created three days after the alleged master was blocked), but there are certain behavioral similarities and areas of interest that make this worth investigating. Thanks, GABgab 01:17, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Just for the record, I'm also seeing overlap with sockfarms like, , and . So it could always be one of those... GABgab 01:20, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

1st edit was to create Take Off (2017 film), a page previously created by a confirmed sockpuppet of. It would be good to check for more sleepers. - GB fan 11:18, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Maheshinte Prathikaaram is one of my favourite movies, and I was reading the article yesterday. And guess what, I encounter my old friend Jean Stair / Nairspecht who seems to be editing other websites these days. However that has not stopped him from adding his own works on Youtube and Huffingtonpost as sources in various Wikipedia pages. He is also continuing with his paid editing and single-handedly saved an organisation's wikipage from deletion. Diff's below -
 * 1) Articles for deletion/Club Mahindra Holidays was saved by the IP. The other IP then went on to improve the page while keeping experienced editors K.e.coffman and Lemongirl942 at bay, from redirecting the page.
 * 2) However the crucial evidence are these -, ,  besides a host of similar edits. While I agree with his rankings, I know that he is not allowed to add his own works especially when they are no more than blogs, as references.
 * 3) And Jean Stair is an anagram for the name of the author, which is mentioned in the reference.
 * 4) He also asked a question on help desk about ways to come out of his block and was advised a clean slate -  and . It seems he probably did not heed to the advice.  Jupitus Smart  04:16, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

 * The IP edits are way too old. This should not have been filed. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 18:09, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Before I begin, I must say that he is an experienced sockmaster. So there is a good chance that this could be meat puppetry. I would still go ahead with presenting my evidences.
 * Created 5 days after the last sockmaster Nairspecht was blocked, on the 23rd. The new editor came upon 28th December.
 * Has commented on Articles for deletion/Club Mahindra Holidays in a neutral leaning towards keep manner. The other IPs which I had reported earlier, had voted keep. Based on situational evidences - the IPs could have been linked to Nairspecht, though that was disallowed due to the IPs being stale.
 * Most of the new editors edits have been on startups, much like Nairspecht.
 * A penchant for companies and people associated with Reliance Industries as with Nairspecht. PP for Reliance JIO, PP for Reliance JIO 2nd instance, Isha Ambani, Nita Ambani and Akash Ambani (some of which were created by Nairspecht).  Jupitus Smart  09:27, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
