This account was created several years ago, but was dormant for quite a while, only returning a few days ago. They've made basically the same edit to Baby (2023 film [1] that prior socks have been making - [2], [3]. The account is currently blocked for disruptive editing, but only for a week.

- They've also been reasonably active as an IP editor. The range seems reasonably consistent - Special:Contributions/49.205.228.0/22. There are a handful of edits that I don't think are from this sock account, but nearly all of them are. Lots of pushing overly details critical review summaries on films without adequate sourcing[4], unsourced and POV editing at Vaishnavi_Chaitanya (see [5] and [6] from a recent IP, and compare the phrasing around the film Baby to [7] which a sock added at the beginning of the month. Same highly promotional tone (and the second IP edit is pure unsourced puffery). The history at Bharat_Ane_Nenu shows the IP's in this range continuing the same edits as blocked socks until the articles were semi-protected.[8] This also happened at Okka Magaadu.[9] Even for a shortish period, it make get this person to give up on Wikipedia and stop the disruptive editing.
