We've had persistent socking at Banaphar to make the same caste change repeatedly. Also related edits at Alha and Udal of Mahoba over exactly the same thing. I'm reasonably convinced by behaviour of the first few, but the last two might be other recruits (with Eroberar claiming to be unconnected with the rest), or entirely innocent. I'd like to request a Checkuser check to find out which are technical socks, which are likely meatpuppets, and which are unconnected and just happen to want to make exactly the same change. (All bar Sumit banaphar are blocked, and I've blocked Eroberar and currently have an unblock request under review). Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:01, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks Amanda  for doing the check. It sounds like there's nothing conclusive to help us clearly identify socks of the original account, and no key markers for future socks. I'll unblock the one I've provisionally blocked, as I can't have enough confidence they really are a sock. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:30, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Everyone comes back on the same very very busy large range. They have the same UAs except Evater & Sumit banaphar who differ but show the same UA between themselves. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 10:32, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm going to close this without further action, probably best to just block future possible-socks for disruption. GeneralNotability (talk) 13:46, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
