(13 September 2017 - 23 January 2018) has already been blocked for socking.

Those two named accounts and that one anon account have been the principal editors on Nutan Naidu, an article which I have recently nommed at AFD for reasons with which you may or may not agree. All three accounts seem to have similar intimate knowledge about, and a high opinion of, Nutan Naidu. The activity of the other two accts: 124.123.55.12 (18 January 2018, only); Prekyap (18 March 2016 - at least 23 February 2018).

Evidence: Signed, Narky Blert (talk) 06:23, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) Nutan Naidu, as left by Sumitmpsd on 11 January 2018.
 * 2) Unsourced material added by 124.123.55.12 rv'ed on 18 January 2018 by highly-experienced editor (294,224 edits).
 * 3) Oshwah's rv reversed with additions by on 1 February 2018.
 * 4) I express no opinion on this sole edit on 23 February 2018 by, the fourth principal editor on Nutan Naidu; although I did raise an eyebrow.
 * 5) The full revision history of Nutan Naidu.

 * - Prekyap would have been stale when this was last checked. Please check to confirm. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:04, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
 * ❌. However, the following accounts are ✅ to each other:
 * Blocked without tags.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:55, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Tagging and closing. Sir Sputnik (talk) 18:17, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
 * This is not the best way of handling this. I would have left the Sumitmpsd case intact and created a new case with Prkyap as the master. Please do that and retag accordingly. There are other confirmed puppets of Summitmpsd, which you should be able to easily find.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:07, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't think this is two different people, despite the technical differences. It seems unlikely to me that there would be more than one sockpuppeteer interested in a subject as obscure as Nutan Naidu. So I had already retagged Sumitmpsd's confirmed sockpuppets accordingly. (See User:Metrosingh). Sir Sputnik (talk) 19:49, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry to insist. First, I don't think the Nutan Naidu article is that obscure. An article about a toad in Siberia would be obscure. Second, there are other behavioral consistences in the Prekyap socks that don't exist in the Sumitmpsd socks, including some deleted pages that you can't see. But you can see this AfD: Articles for deletion/Chanakya Kyatham. I'm not sure if you can fix this now (as a non-admin). If you can, great; if not, leave it in its present status for a clerk admin. Thanks for your understanding.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:02, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Fair enough. I've moved and retagged everything accordingly. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:24, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

All users have very similar behaviour to the master that I'll be happy to share through an email. Requesting CU for technical help. Thank you – GSS (talk |c|em ) 17:54, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Asjil is stale. Riblitoje appears to be technically ❌ to Heshiv and neither are technically conclusive to the master of this case. This will have to be decided based on behavior. — Berean Hunter   (talk)  15:13, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
