The user had checked the edits made by them in Malayalam.  Malayalam wikipedia has blocked them in case it is clear that they are sock. Therefore, it should be stopped here as well. Check User for the required action. K.M.M Thomas sebastian (talk) 02:52, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

But this user is wreaking havoc with the wiki account. That is why the block was given in Malayalam. Therefore, it can be said that this account is being used without any good intention. So there is nothing wrong with blocking sock on another wiki as well. In other sock cases, a non-functioning account is blocked. It has been proven in sock that taking more than one account and continuing the destruction continues. If you open this account here too, it will be taken advantage of That should stop it.

 * As I understand it, these accounts are CU-confirmed and blocked on mlwiki. However, the second account made a single edit to mainspace on enwiki, six months ago, and hasn't edited since then. I don't think this constitutes an actionable violation of the sockpuppetry policy on this wiki. Closing without action; you can re-report if the account starts editing again in ways that violate policy. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 13:31, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

I suspect this user is the sock of Vishnu ganeshan. All of their edits are similar. Therefore, it is requested to do a Check user. Provides behavioral evidence. K.M.M Thomas sebastian (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 08:01, 6 February 2022

 * At max, but CU data is not clear here so CU evidence is weak. . Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 12:52, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Caste is a very popular topic, so overlapping interest and shared points of view isn't enough to call somebody a sock, and I'm not seeing anything more than that. Combined with the CU finding, I'm going to close this with no action. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:51, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

and are blocked in Malayalam wikipedia, as both are confirmed to be sock of a single Vishwakarma (caste), vandal.[]. So should be blocked in english wikipedia too to prevent sock puppetry and vandalism.

The Vishwakarma (caste) vandal is blocked indefinitely on english wikipedia of vandalism and caste promotiom. After the block, the user came up with the id , which is already blocked on Malayalam wikipedia of caste promotion and vandalism.See the contribution of : and blocked user  :. All are same.Ningalonnichpovuka (talk)

 * - It seems Vishnu Ganeshan 123, Govind achari, and RajammalAchari123 were confirmed on mlwiki (ml:വിക്കിപീഡിയ:അപരമൂർത്തി അന്വേഷണം/Govind achari). The rest of the accounts seem plausible. Please, check the reported accounts. Thank you. MarioGom (talk) 21:35, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
