 * ( original case name)

Similar username. Creates article "Manu Munshi (Artist)"(Special:Permalink/1099030402) very similar to existing draft Draft:Manu Munshi that was edited by Sr930. S370m uploaded File:Annadamunshi.jpeg to enwiki which is a duplicate of File:Artist Annada Munshi at his residence.jpg uploaded by Sr930 to Commons. – NJD-DE (talk) 16:26, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Yup, plus
 * (who created ) and
 * (whose name is just the above in reverse)
 * Moving, blocking, tagging, closing. For future reference, the G5 date is 27 March 2022. --Blablubbs (talk) 16:29, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Yet another account taking up the editing of Draft:Manu Munshi after User:HMM60, the previously active sock was blocked. The current account are all SPAs intent on promoting this same subject and follows the latest naming convention of three upper-case letters followed by a number. Many SPA IPs have also been contributing and it might be worth while casting an eye over these too to examine any ways of curbing their enthusiasm for promoting a "Mother of Pearl" artist.

 * - please indef DNA289 as a suspected sock - the focus on the same obscure draft and the username similarity is obvious enough. I don't think CU is necessary here. The previous accounts are stale and if there were any other accounts, they'd probably show up in the history of Draft:Manu Munshi/Draft:Annada Munshi. The IPs are likely them but it will probably be more effective to send the draft to WP:MFD than try to play whack-a-mole with dynamic IP addresses. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 17:25, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Resind125 account created 25 February and immediately sets to work precociously creating drafts. Eighth draft on 8 March is a recreation of Manu Munshi at Manu Munshi (artist). Ten minutes later, recreation of Annada Munshi at Annada Munshi (artist). Both are pastes of drafts created by previous socks. 2A01:4C8:47:ADC4:6849:1AFF:FE6D:166D (talk) 08:30, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Resind125 followed up by creating Anukul Charan Munshi two hours later, a close match to the Wayback version from March 2022. 2A01:4C8:49:B2A2:D40A:8FF:FE9A:A7CA (talk) 11:16, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

 * The sockpuppetry looks obvious to me. Blocked and tagged. The account operator seems to have been hopping around on various IP addresses – I've tagged three of them. A major focus of the sockpuppetry is the article Madurai Kamaraj University, and looking at the revision history of that page I suspect that the indefinitely-blocked is the same person. A CheckUser sweep may be in order. SuperMarioMan (Talk) 20:00, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * The CU queue is quite backlogged right now so I'm going to close this without further action. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 20:19, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
