IPs have same geolocation as previously-blocked IP sock 103.211.23.245. Interests may include food and war (especially blood sausages and military), and adding lots of "see also"s.

2409:4060:193:DCC1::/64 range: IPs repeat the reverted edits of sock, blocked a few days ago, about chicken blood in blood sausages: vs.  and these food "see also"s:  vs. , etc.

Food war: account is created one minute after the last IP edit above, and also starts to edit about blood sausages, see Special:Contributions/2409:4060:193:DCC1:2C9D:2950:C2BB:9A94 and Special:Log/Food war / Special:Contributions/Food war. They repeat more of Doom marauder's reverted edits: vs.  and  vs..

110.225.1.76: (same geolocation) edits about chicken blood, within three minutes of the other IP:, ; also adds "see also" food links to gyurma, recently edited by Doom marauder.

Banished Infinite: Last November, sock Jku456 adds a redlink to the "see also" of Goan sausage, for "Khasi blood sausage":. The day after Doom marauder requests the creation of a "Khasi blood sausage" article on Talk:Goan sausage:, "Banished Infinite" replaces Doom marauder's comment and signature with a suggested citation: and then adds a "see also" to the article:  a few hours before 110.225.1.76 adds another. A few days later, Doom marauder adjusts the link:.

2409:4060:193:DCC1::/64 adds a redlink in the "see also" of Ravidas, to Demolition of Ravidas temple in Delhi:. 35 minutes later, Banished Infinite creates the article:.

Banished Infinite copypastes a large amount of text, apparently from some old revision, into Alien invasion:, the same as an older IP with the same geolocation: and the master, Nittin Das:  (several other similar repeated edits around the same time).

Khan slayer: repeats the reverted edits of Doom marauder in Rapid Support Forces: vs.  and  vs. ; has some crossover in State-owned enterprise:  vs.  and Dalit:  vs. ; and corrects a botched edit in Blood sausage the day after an IP with the same geolocation:  vs..

I added the IPs. In addition to adding a link to Buddhism in Tuva:, the first has continued a long-term pattern of adding a section to Blood sausage about India, , compare with e.g. sock Banished Infinite , as well as older IPs with the same geolocation and network that were blocked for block evasion, e.g.:.

The second IP is on a wireless network with the same geolocation, and has edited the same article within a few minutes of the others:, adding "chicken blood", as have several previous socks in the same place: , , etc.

Sangheili spartan has also been editing this section, and has edited the article within a few minutes of the first IP. --IamNotU (talk) 22:13, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Only one edit so far, but within 3 minutes of the account being created, that edit was an exact manual restoration of an edit on AK-102 by User:Tensa Ulquiorra, another of Nittin's socks.

On the article in question, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=AK-102&oldid=1019025337, this Tensa's edit in question, adding unsourced entries to the user section, reverted by myself for being unsourced

All these accounts and IPs are relatively "new" to Wikipedia and make the same edits. Each account has made the same revert to Nepalese Civil War, the latest one by Prophet Cephalopod (seen here). The addition that has been repeatedly removed for WP:OR (i.e. intentionally misreading or drawing assumptions from the source) was first made by Sangheili spartan, a now blocked sock of Nittin Das. This revert is easily identifiable in the page history because it is always +343 bytes. Furthermore, all these accounts and IPs, like Nittin Das and their proven socks, edit primarily through the mobile app and have a fixation on firearms and the article Deobandi.

I noticed an edit from Eightsixcyborg removing the page protection template from Reliance Industries which has been a common target for ND socks. Looking a bit, I noticed they made a very similar edit at Redut compared to a prior sock. The overlap between the prior sock and this new account is significant for a fairly new and low edit account and highlights the similar interest in security companies, also common with ND socks. Another example is Hybrid (biology) where this account adds to the See also section, as have two of the more recent socks and.
