Intense interest in Pranesh Pravin Walawalkar in common with confirmed sock. Please note commons:User:Nantumanya contribs. Denies being subject and requesting name change. -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 08:55, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I've amended the names in DFO's report to reflect the current name of the account. Girth Summit  (blether)  10:59, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

 * - clearly some kind of coordination going on, I'm not sure yet whether SOCK or MEAT. CU might be able to make a connection with previous accounts, and/or pick up any more sleepers.  Girth Summit  (blether)  10:39, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Girth Summit, Deepfriedokra - Can you verify that the listed sock account is spelled correctly? I'm showing that it doesn't exist...  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   10:56, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * , they've been renamed already - see . I'll amend the suspected name above... Girth Summit  (blether)  10:57, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah, I figured that a rename is what happened. Thanks! :-)  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   10:58, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * . The users geolocate to different countries. They're on different ranges, ISPs, and user agents.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   11:00, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * - - can you point towards where they have denied being the subject? Their commons uploads are tagged with 'I, the copyright holder...', which coupled with the original username seems like a pretty clear assertion that they are in fact the subject, but I'd like a full picture before deciding on the best course of action here.   Girth Summit  (blether)  11:14, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * No, sorry, I think I confused them with another one I'm looking at. -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 12:06, 14 July 2021 (UTC)


 * - have you got a moment to look at DFO's latest suspect? Username and subject-interest similarity to previous confirmed sock. I'm minded to block the other account as NOTHERE despite the lack of a CU hit, all their edits look like self-promotion, and some of them are disrupting AfD processes.   Girth Summit  (blether)  14:26, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Girth Summit - Sure, no problem.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   14:44, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I would say that is  to, but appear  to the master.  ~Oshwah~  (talk)  (contribs)   14:47, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * OK - blocking Nantumanya for disruptive self-promotion and socking, and Ukuchinga as a sock. Closing.  Girth Summit  (blether)  15:03, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
