Block appeal declined by, originally blocked for impersonation of the real person of this name. Formalising this as an SPI so there is an SPI audit trail to refer to. Obvious quacking. CU at your discretion 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 15:57, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

 * - . Sumedh Mudgalkar was created to evade a temporary block on TheOwnkingAyush. Also see edit summaries . Please, block TheOwnkingAyush as the master of suspected sock Sumedh Mudgalkar. Thank you. MarioGom (talk) 09:19, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * . I feel and  may be related as well, but not sure if there's enough to run a check, especially with everyone here's Commons uploads being deleted and hence being unable to compare them. Pinging  for thoughts. DatGuyTalkContribs 09:24, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * - I think there's enough to run a check. Please, check the 4 accounts in this case. Thank you. MarioGom (talk) 09:36, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd call and  ✅ to one another.  is ✅ to, but technically I'd call them  to the other accounts - same country, but that's about it.  is stale.  Girth Summit  (blether)  10:08, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Previous sock User:Sumedh Mudgalkar created Arpan Das, this one creates Arpan Das (Ayush) (yes, with the same "Ayush" as in the name of the sockmaster). Fram (talk) 11:48, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

I added a much older sock, Sayan558800, as they also vandalized pages to include Arpan Das. Probably stale though. And Arpan21 only made one edit, but is probably the same as well. Fram (talk) 11:55, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

I'm not quite certain about Arpan21, to be fair, so perhaps leave them out. Instead, you can add brandnew account Katty0214, removing the speedy on the Arpan Das article with edit summary "typo"... They don't even try to look innocent. Fram (talk) 12:11, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Based on identical deleted reuploads on Commons (c:File:Arpan Das.jpg), I'm satisfied TheOwnkingAyush = Katty0214. I can offer no special insight on the others. —&#8205;Mdaniels5757 (talk &bull; contribs) 17:44, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Immediately identified as probable sock by adding a link to Arpan Das here and uploading File:Arpan Das.jpg to Commons. Duck for sure, but CU because of prior history and sleeper check please. Alert Commons admins please, with the outcome. Are we at the stage of requesting Global Locks? 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 17:10, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Exceedingly to the batch of socks in the 2 December case in the archive (who are all ✅ to one another). For the record, these accounts are using a different IP range from the first few accounts in the archive, but look similar in other ways.  Girth Summit  (blether)  17:46, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Bit more digging around, I was able to make the connection between the original account and the latest batch of socks - no doubt that they're all . I'll update the tags, they're all ✅. Closing. Girth Summit  (blether)  17:56, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
