• Obviously. Acknowledging Aanandmeht hasn't edited on enwiki; Aanand mehta and Aananda1 have, and the master is already blocked as not here.   Awaiting administrative action - Please block all three accounts indefinitely. --Jack Frost (talk) 03:47, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Account created one week after Aananda1 was blocked as a sock of Aanand mehta. Same areas of editing Nepalese articles, e.g. Kedar Bhandari (now deleted) ([1], [2]), Koshi Province ([3], [4]) and Template:Largest cities in Koshi ([5], [6]). Both users placed {{Vandalism information}} on their user pages ([7], [8]) which is not something I would expect to see on an account created only two weeks ago and with no history of vandal fighting. — Voice of Clam (talk) 07:22, 15 May 2023 (UTC) — Voice of Clam (talk) 07:22, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Technically, they are very   Likely to past socks, and the editing removes any residual doubt. Be advised that they are not averse to a spot of WP:LOUTSOCKing in their subject areas of interest - if any IPs start reinstating their changes, report away.
