Not sure whether this is sock or meat, but it's apparently coordinated, disruptive promotional editing about Priya Selvaraj and the hospital in which she works (User:Samuel Mathew CV/sandbox. Star   Mississippi  14:44, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

It is worth following the alleged master to Wikimedia Commons, where their talk page and activity log will show the uploading of now deleted advertising material, logos, etc for GG Hospital. See c:User talk:Venkatesh Prasad 1122.

c:User talk:Samuel Mathew CV shows the deletion of further material to do with GG Hospital

A further sock alleged sock, c:User:Samuel mathew (Stale since 2017, and might be a forgotten account) has uploaded File:Priya Selvaraj.jpg. I will add them to the list in a moment 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 15:17, 22 September 2023 (UTC)


 * @Courcelles Is this in any way approaching the threshold for Global Locks? There is abuse of two wikis, but I also don't feel this should be an overused sanction. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 16:35, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

 * The stale sock is so ducky I've blocked it as well. I'll leave it to a clerk to decide how to tag/archive this lot. Courcelles (talk) 15:55, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Might be worth filing a commons:Commons:Requests for checkuser case? Because Kaviya7mps was also active over there.  (I am no longer a Commons admin, so I can't do blocks over there.) Courcelles (talk) 16:00, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't really know. It's two wikis disrupted, but it's fairly low level disruption/spamming, not the truly awful garbage so many "lock on sight" cases are known for.  I might run it up the flagpole to the stewards depending on if a Commons CU finds more accounts, though. Courcelles (talk) 16:38, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Moved case to oldest account, tagged socks, closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 20:53, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
