So, my hope is that while Tyuuuri and RahulRosh07 are more than likely stale, that someone can see if: 1) Rahulravi06 has any other accounts open. 2) If Yevaraina is related to Rahulravi06. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:36, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * In the archive, one of the CU confirmed socks is RahulRosh07, which obviously has a name similarity with one of the reported sock suspects above.
 * Rahulravi06 has been a recent major contributor to Vimmi Mariam George.
 * From what I can tell looking through the deletion history, RahulRosh07 previously created the Vimmi Mariam George article.
 * Yevaraina, who I also suspect of evading a block as (who is long since stale), recently created Vimmi Mariam George.
 * It's an odd coincidence to me that shortly after this article was created, a user with a name similar to one of the Tyuuuri socks would start editing it. So this suggests to me that maybe there's some coordinated editing going on.
 * the Kerala State Film Award for Best Dubbing Artist is yet another article where all of these accounts intersect. I will also mention that, a sock account of has also edited both of these articles, having previously created the Vimmi Mariam George article too, so this could wind up being a master, although I don't know that anyone wants to get into that mess.

 * - Starting with the obvious Yevaraina should be checked against Rahulravi06. But, I also note that Yevaraina was originally blocked as a GOOD morning sock; there's no other non-stale socks in that case, but maybe there's something in the notes?  And, on the similar name theme, I see there's also:

that follow the exact pattern, and a slew more that are somewhat less similar. I don't know far down that rathole it's worth going. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:14, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Okay, here we go.
 * Group 1: the following accounts are ✅ to each other and to Tyuuuri based on using the same networks, but there is also abuse from unrelated accounts which makes the result weak.
 * The remaining Rahulravi accounts listed above are stale and were not checked.
 * Group 2: the following accounts are to each other; I'm listing them here because they're on the same network at roughly the same time, and on different devices, but there are a slew of new account creations (many more with no edits not listed) which suggests they're creating accounts and sharing the password resets with each other, or with others. Anju A P is already blocked for undisclosed paid editing, and Mobinmswiki clearly represents a marketing agency (see their deleted sandbox) which in turn has been involved with promotion of the Kerala State Film Awards.
 * In addition, Mobinmswiki has used the same network as group 1, but with a different device from the strongly unique signatures of that group.
 * Now for Yevaraina it gets bizarre:
 * Based on logs of old checks, group 2 is with Sockpuppet investigations/Navasuv - they both use the same small network and are involved in commercial editing.
 * is ❌ to group 1, and technically to  (a suspected Navasuv sock mentioned above) and to GOOD morning. However, have a look at the glaring similarity between Jyothu's unblock request and Yevaraina's.
 * I'm confused by Yevaraina pasting 's signature here. They have some topic overlaps but their only significant interaction is here, where Yevaraina posted an empty edit request at Pooja Hegde and NiciVampireHeart declined it. (another UPE sockmaster) has edited that page recently, and there are numerous unconnected UPE farms in that article's history. While KumarVenati and Yevaraina have an IP range in common, it's a huge range and is implicated in dozens of UPE sockpuppetry cases; this result is . I see no reason to check NiciVampireHeart and did not.
 * Group 1 is blocked; group 2 was blocked already; I have not tagged anyone. Please ping me if I might possibly be able to elaborate on these results. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:42, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for slugging through that. I know it was probably painful. Am I correct in inferring that Yevaraina is potentially a Navasuv sock/meat? In a world where I incorrectly implicated him as GOOD Morning, I want to know whether it's worth unblocking him, even though he has no concept of copyright laws. Yevaraina is not the most competent editor, which might explain why they took someone else's signature. Actually, now that I say that out loud, do I really want to unblock someone like that? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:10, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
 * based on putting everything together I think it's evident Yevaraina and Jyothu are the same person. I'm not sure what that means for Navasuv, Jyothu was added to a report late and there is no CU finding for them. I checked pretty thoroughly but couldn't connect Yevaraina to anyone else, it's probably safe to consider them a "suspected" Navasuv sock unless/until better information emerges. I also don't know what to make of GOOD morning, but they don't seem to be active so maybe it doesn't matter right now. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 22:31, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
