Account solely for toxic fan war, with a pro-Meena and anti-Jyothika stance. Tampereing the cast order of films acted by these actresses, top billing Meena even in films she acted as supporting actress, while downgrading even the lead roles of Jyothika. No regards for closing/end credits or poster billing. Uses a fallacious logic that seniority should be considered, but the logic fails when it comes to Jyothika, or another actress more senior than Meena comes in the same film. This is to give a context of what is happening. Evidence for sockpuppetry is given below.

Rythm

Mozhi

Sillunu Oru Kaadhal

Seetha Kalyanam

Annaatthe

Meena

Citizen

Bro Daddy

Returned to move down Jyothika in the cast of Thenali, previously edited by Wikicircuitz, may also be trying to create an auto-confirmed account to tamper cast in semi-protected Rhythm (2000 film) (see history), for which two of their IPs were blocked on Jan 6.

 * I'm hesitant to endorse this one. "Actress A is better than Actress B" doesn't strike me as a very distinctive POV to be pushing. The cast-list re-ordering is similar, but it's not being done in quite the same way as with past sox, and Wikicircuit has not done it on this particular article before, despite having edited it in the past. Furthermore, the edit-summary style is noticeably different. Perhaps a CU will find it within their discretion to check anyways, but I don't think this meets the standard for endorsing. . . Feel free to re-file and ping me if further evidence emerges. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 21:33, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Pro-Meena editor returned to tamper the cast for pushing Meena over other actors in Bro Daddy, also personal attacks and uncivil language. Compare with the still on block range 60.54.90.7. Requesting range block. The Doom Patrol (talk) 13:50, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

I have seriously no idea what is going on here. I never returned to tamper the cast for pushing Meena over other actors. I have no intention to do vandalism at all here. The name is mentioned according to the film credit here. The user The Doom Patrol (talk) keeps reverting the cast and facts already listed by the movie team in advance.

 * The still-active IP has been p-blocked by Ohnoitsjamie for disruption, and I think that's all that's merited by the filing here. As I explained at the last SPI, "Actress A is better than Actress B" is not a very distinctive POV, and the shared behavior of cast-list reordering could mean socking, but could also mean fans who've read the same comment on some forum or something, or could plausibly be a coincidence. If you want to convince me or another clerk/admin that this is socking, you need to show evidence of socking, not just evidence of similar disruption. Please read User:Blablubbs/How to file a good SPI for more information, before you file future SPIs in this case. Please also consider that, in the future, if something is obvious disruption but non-obvious as socking, it may be better to just file to AIV.
