Clearly the same person as they create the same low quality unsourced geo stubs in Tamil Nadu. Compare here and here. Also, there is username similarity with all other socks and also they edited one of the previous sock's user page multiple times. See [1] [2] Editing the user page of other socks seems to be a behaviour highlighted previously. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 09:28, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

Created both [4] and [5]; both pages were previously created by other socks (and ONLY other socks); both pages this user created with similar content as previous creations. Also, this user edited ta.wikipedia.org as did other socks (see CentralAuth). (If you DO block the user, please also delete the pages they created).

SPA Ramkumar00 created 2 March. 11 March, created sandbox bio of Malayan Balakumar [13], then added unsourced changes to Draft:Malayan Balakumar [14], created by blocked sock User:Ranjith001 in January. Feeble attempt at hijack of Bala (actor) [15], then tried to recreate Malayan Balakumar at Malayan Balakumar (Dubbing artist) and Balakumar.
Same fondness for low quality, unsourced Tamil Nadu geo stubs, now at Draft:Karavalli and Draft:Karavalli (second draft). Wikishovel (talk) 05:28, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
