Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

The whole activity of Sock 1 on wikipedia was editing G. S. Unnikrishnan Nair, the article name closely resembles sock 1's previous username, which suggests the user is the person in discussion himself. Sock 1 was recently blocked from Wikipedia, so now they are using Sock 2 to edit the page. On checking the edit history, I could find more sock accounts whose usernames are somewhat similar and all their contributions are related to the above mentioned page. I suspect a non-notable person created an article about themself and using many sock accounts to edit the page. Sneha996 (talk) 11:17, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

 * The three non-stale accounts (Gokulam1964, Gopalraj1974, and Nairunnigs) are all ✅ to each other. The others are stale and that's all I can see. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:49, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I've moved the case to Nairunnigs, which is the oldest account to be blocked. - please indef Nairunnigs and Gopalraj1974 per the CU results. Not going to bother with the stale accounts at this time per WP:PREVENTATIVE, but please feel free to re-report if they resume editing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 21:51, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
