The sock puppeteer added an unsourced text "Tamilian" here. Immediately after being reverted, the sock Msz01 comes and reinstates the same text 'Tamilian' here. Before that an IP from Tamil Nadu, India did the same thing here Fylindfotberserk (talk) 19:19, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Seems the new user Sharmaziv01, some IPs and the sockmaster Ravinariya are working as a group to POV push unsourced addition of "Tamilian" in the Shreyas Iyer article. Combined edits,. Not to mention other IP socking like this and this. Also notice similar edits by user Ajeebtha here. Editor interaction here. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 06:56, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

Although, the suspected sockpuppet is older, this ethnic edit looks suspicious. The sockmaster was interested in adding 'Tamil', this Vishnu7667 guy removed the mention of sourced ethnicity 'Mangalorean Tuluva', which seems like a "no Tamil, no Tuluva" mentality.

 * Since the page history has several IPs trying to insert the same information (intermittently and with different IPs), I requested semi-protection for Shreyas Iyer. creffett (talk) 02:11, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Looks like similar ethnic POV. Removal of Tuluva ancestry (properly sourced) from the early life section, like the suspected sock Vishnu7667 (deemed unrelatied) before. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:58, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

 * My notes have Ryhetu as possibly related to Sockpuppet investigations/Ajay Dalabehera. I don't see anything definitively tying them to Ravinariya or Vishnu7667, and all known socks are stale so CU isn't available. I'll chalk this up to nationalist/ethnic-ist(?) editing. Gave Ryhetu a GS alert for South Asian social groups, closing without further action. GeneralNotability (talk) 19:00, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
