 * I think we have a promotional sockfarm here. Here's what the technical data shows:
 * is the same editor or paid editing group as  and.
 * is editing from the same city as the group.
 * is ✅ to and editing from the same city as the Bavisimegha group.
 * is technically ❌ to the rest of the accounts.


 * We're dealing with rapidly cycling IPs on dynamic ranges, so liberal semi-protection/salting and whack-a-mole is the best course of action. -- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 20:49, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

 * – obsession with Vivek Jain and comparison with older confirmed socks checks out. Special:Diff/711860836, Special:Diff/712031584. Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 22:32, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
 * , though there are so many ISPs and ranges in play it's hard to determine anything with certainty. I've semi-protected the article to help reduce the temptation to create new accounts.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 21:42, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I've also blocked and tagged both accounts as suspected socks. Closing.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 21:46, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
 * , looks like you forgot to block Garimasingh097? Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 04:06, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Yup. Done now.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 16:53, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
