 * - To help differentiate between meat and sockpuppetry. I added another possible sock (Akashkool). It looks like the master and Taekwondoindia are both stale. Sro23 (talk) 01:35, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

 * ,, , are ✅.  is indeed stale. Pinging  for a double check if necessary. My First SPI  -- There'sNoTime (to explain) 11:13, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * On second analysis, and with prompting from another CU, this could well be meatpuppetry as opposed to sockpuppetry. I will defer to different CU here -- There'sNoTime (to explain) 13:03, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The master and Taekwondowindia are.
 * These accounts are ✅ to each other:


 * Akashcool is to this group.
 * All non-stale accounts blocked. If the behavior matches the master, we need to retag these;  was looking for block evasion and didn't know of this case. Otherwise, Indiatodaynetworks is the oldest account. Katietalk 14:17, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I do now; thanks for the ping! Yunshui 雲 水 14:34, 9 October 2017 (UTC)


 * - Neither Sro23 nor I can review deleted contribs, so will need a bit of admin magic there. Pinging so that they are aware that I changed the case status.  QEDK  ( 愛  •  海 ) 19:31, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Please block Indiatodaynetworks and Akashkool. After that, I can move this SPI to Indiatodaynetworks and re-tag. Thank you. Sro23 (talk) 13:45, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh, good grief - my bad. Done. Katietalk 14:35, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Re-tagged the sockpuppets. Closing. Sro23 (talk) 15:21, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

Newly registered users recreating master’s work. Vipinkumar77 created Neelansh Koshta under Neelansh koshta and Mohittiwari77 popped in to remove speedy deletion notice. All users made some random edits at first and then started editing VK77’s newly created article. Since both users Mohittiwari77 and Vikasmamar using mobile device I think CU won’t be helpful here but their behaviour is very similar. Thank you – GSS (talk |c|em ) 16:52, 29 October 2017 (UTC)


 * I just added some more users who were involved in creating article on the same subject. Please note user is the oldest account (master) in this group. GSS  (talk |c|em ) 03:14, 30 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Adding newly registered user 0shivansh7. He was registered on 27th made some random edits like other users in this group and then created sandbox for the same subject and contested speedy deletion. GSS (talk |c|em ) 09:51, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Ran into this whilst looking at a CSD, and was in the middle of running a CU anyway...
 * The following accounts are ✅ to one another; ISP and location are sufficiently similar to previous socks that I'd consider this group extremely to be connected to the master even without the behavioural evidence.
 * The following accounts are, but editing similarities are sufficient that I'm blocking them anyway:
 * All blocked and tagged. Yunshui 雲 水 13:25, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * is the oldest account in this farm so is it possible to move this SPI? Thank you – GSS (talk |c|em ) 14:07, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
