 * is ✅ to the other accounts listed so I've blocked it. The good news is that I don't see any sleepers. The bad news is that this editor has a number of extremely large highly dynamic ranges available to them and can just fire up a new account at whim. Blocking on sight is the best way to deal with them.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 23:22, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

 * - - The evidence of sockpuppetry is very strong.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  22:09, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I think this could have been handled as a duck block, which is likely why didn't request CU here. I've gone ahead and blocked and tagged the account. -- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots  22:48, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

For Sarita Narvekar, same fixation on Marathi, same articles, and posted to ANI quite quickly for a new editor (the sockmaster was taken to ANI originally). 

For Arihant Brahmane they've got WP:INDICSCRIPT drummed into their head (probably thanks to ANI) but made the same mistake on same article as last sock. Neil N  talk to me 15:25, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

 * One of those accounts (Sarita Narvekar) was used to edit while the master account was still blocked. I believe both the master and his socks should be indefinitely blocked.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  00:03, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Apologies, I thought you are able to make the blocks (Note to self: not every clerk is an admin). 2 weeks to the master, and indef for the socks. - Mailer Diablo 00:13, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
