All have added the same photo and infobox to their own user pages within the last several days. Similar pages have been previously deleted and some of the socks blocked. Some of the accounts have been previously warned in addition to the blocks. I don't see a need for a checkuser, unless someone thinks that there may be others out there.

@, not that I am aware of. When I did my check for previous SPI's, it showed one with Shimansh as the master, so I started this one on that basis. My main concern were the socks that were active. Regards, GregJackP   Boomer!   05:31, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Confirmed: In this group S.A.Muthu DME is the master. From CU scans I see no clear relation to Shimansh, am I missing some behavioral link? Materialscientist (talk) 05:19, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Looking at the archive, there does seem to be a connection, so indefblocking all, master 1 week. Closing. Rschen7754 05:29, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
