This account began editing on 17 September, when other socks were being blocked, and its first edits were to Thoda Sa Baadal Thoda Sa Paani, which was also previously edited by Televisiongossips 2005 and other now-blocked socks of the master. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:45, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

 * I'm not seeing any real evidence of socking. Indian TV shows are a very popular topic, so overlap alone isn't much to go on.  On the other side, the timecards look very different, all of the other socks use mobile, but Shikagami03	doesn't.  And in all other cases, a new sock account was created 2-4 days after the last one was blocked, but Shikagami03 was over 2 weeks.  Not to mention that compared to the other creative usernames, Shikagami03 is just plain unimaginative. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:58, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

 * - Please, compare to previous socks.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  09:21, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

 * ❌ -- RoySmith (talk) 13:22, 1 November 2021 (UTC) (struck; see below)
 * - I looked into this too, perhaps followed a slightly different rabbit hole than you did. I'm seeing as being very  to  from the archive. I'm also seeing a great deal of similarity between those two, and several socks of . Do you want to take a look at it from that angle?  Girth Summit  (blether)  13:30, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Interesting. Yeah, I'll take another look, thanks. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:30, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Just noticed that Jai Maa Laxmi Ji also edited Shubh Laabh, and Hero – Gayab Mode On - I think that's enough for me to call these two ✅. I still think they're a closer match for RealHeroRahul than for this master, despite the similarities in the Shubh Laabh articles. Could be two people being paid separately to upload the same spam, or they could be coordinating. Girth Summit  (blether)  13:37, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
 * OK, I took another look. The first time around, I was being conservative  discrete lazy and only checked against the confirmed socks in the archives.  Now that I looked at these two, I agree that  looks very close, probably close enough to call them ✅.  Per your suggestion, I also looked at  from Sockpuppet investigations/RealHeroRahul/Archive and agree that they are a good match to  based on both the technical evidence and some beans.  I suspect there's some mis-identified socks mixed up between these two cases. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:57, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks - I'll add that and  also came up in my search, and are also indistinguishable. I'm going to tag accordingly, and close.  Girth Summit  (blether)  14:10, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually, I'll leave this open in case wants to merge this report into that one.  Girth Summit  (blether)  14:14, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
 * @Girth Summit I left some notes in cuwiki. @Vanjagenije I'll mail you a copy of the notes, since they may be useful to you deciding on a merge. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:19, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
