A bio for Ananish Chaudhuri was once created by User:Ananishc, who is a confirmed sock of this sock master. The bio has just been recreated, and I moved it to draft space as it wasn't up to scratch. Looking at it now, I get suspicious. Sock 1 above has made 30 innocuous edits (mostly adding infoboxes, presumably to become autoconfirmed. Edit number 31 was the creation of the current bio; this has been the last edit on that account (on 28 April 2025). But there are also a number of deleted edits (two bios since deleted; one has been recreated).

After I moved the article to draft, Sock 2 springs into action. Four edits in total, all to this article, and the second edit was to resubmit the draft bio for AfC review via the wizard. Those edits suggest that prior experience exists.

Hence, I think it's likely that Marek.kapicak is back. It might also be worthwhile to look at DylanMega, who recreated one of the bios that Gidan Gas had deleted. Similarly low edit count. Schwede66 04:56, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

• And Utpal looks like a case of normal WP:COI. If someone wants to tie the other two for G5 purposes to discrete groups, they're welcome to it, otherwise this is closable. Izno (talk) 17:15, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
• This isn't the typical Marek.kapicak behavior. It was quite characteristic. MER-C 16:13, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
