Overlap:
- Using the same source on Pasi [1][2]
- Overlap on Suhaldev claiming he is Pasi [3][4]
- Bhola89 has edited Bijli Pasi, which Ranjit_pasi created.
- Overlap on Uda Devi
Bhola89 created a few weeks after Ranjit_pasi was blocked
Both only edit through the Android app.
Both start by creating articles on their userpage and then moving them to mainspace.
Neither have ever used an edit summary.

I'm slightly involved, having partially blocked them from one page and tbanned them from the rest, but I concur with the train of thought above, in particular the lack of communication and repeated attempts to whitewash the history of the group and/or make them out to be more than they are. If they are the same individual (and for whatever reason this SPI turns up nothing), I suspect they'll be indeffed per WP:GS/CASTE within a month.

CheckUser requested and endorsed by clerk - The evidence presented here seems convincing, but caste is the kind of topic that draws wide interest, so I'm hesitant to block on common behavior alone. And while I agree that the common use of Android Mobile is a signal, mobile is so prevalent in India, it's not terribly surprising that two editors would both use it. So, I'd like to see what CU says. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:32, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Barely Likely because of same city, but same unique mobile device. Also, Bhola89 = Govinda89 (no edits). -- Amanda (aka DQ) 09:26, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Adding these for the sake of the tools:

Clerk note: Everybody (with any edits) is already blocked one way or another, so I'm not going to invest much time sorting out socks from meat from other species. Closing. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:59, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
RoySmith, Bhola89 is only temporarily blocked (and Govinda89 isn't at all) - should that be extended to an indef then? Primefac (talk) 19:02, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Clerk note: Primefac I missed that Bhola89 was only temporary. Fixed that now. Thanks for the heads up. Govinda89 has no edits, so I figured it wasn't worth doing anything about, but I guess as long as I'm here, I'll get them too. As for the actual tagging, I'm not sure what the right thing is, so I'm just calling them suspected of the case master. If somebody wants to get fancier with alt-masters, they can do that. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:15, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Same username structure, same editing behaviour/targets (Pasi (caste) and related articles), and created very shortly after the last sock was indeffed. CU may be helpful to pluck out any sleepers. Primefac (talk) 12:56, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

CheckUser requested and endorsed by clerk - per archives. Worth a look (I note that the current block is only for 2 weeks). TheSandDoctor ^Talk 03:21, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk endorsed - The account was created the day after the last sock was blocked, and has identical editing interests. CU checks have found other socks in previous reports, so endorsing to look for sleepers. GirthSummit _(blether) 12:11, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Confirmed. No sleepers immediately visible $Salvio$ 12:42, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There's some really weird pseudo-gaming of ECP, but their account is so new that they don't actually have it. However, after their 500th edit they immediately started editing again in Pasi-related areas making odd edits and unnecessary pages. I'm a bit involved in this area, and so would like a 2O just to make sure I'm not seeing socks everywhere. Primefac (talk) 14:31, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Clear duck account. They edit in the same topic area, the first two letters of the sock's account are RP, etc. Request CU for sleeper check due to a long history of socking. Kb03 (talk) 13:38, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Check declined by a checkuser. DUCK evidence does not require verification from a checkuser. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:38, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Likely a match to the master, based on a few different things. Blocked without tags Primefac (talk) 13:29, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
