@AmandaNP: I've demonstrated it through multiple diffs that match with the POV shown by the suspected sock and the blocked ones, is not a single diff. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:48, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Kalki 2898 AD - Diff1 Diff2
    • Specific POV regarding the film RRR, director S S Rajamouli and them propelling Telugu cinema into mainstream (pan-India) [8] [9] [10].
    • Telugu ethnicity related - [11] [12]; [13] [14]
    • Mahesh Babu filmography - POV with the Spyder film related image [15] [16] [17]. They showed similar POV with the particular image in the Mahesh Babu main article.
    • Formatting style - Similar formatting style in the infobox can be seen here as well as this by the confirmed sock. I'm not sure a newbie user will be that much adept at relative advanced text coding.
    • Changes [[Telugu '''language'''|Telugu]]-language to [[Telugu '''cinema'''|Telugu]]-language - [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23]
    • Concerned about the reliability of the website Pinkvilla and BOI for south Indian films. Note the similar style of writing [24] [25] [26] [27].
@AmandaNP: I've added a few more diffs with context. Hope this helps. Thanks. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:31, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Check declined by a checkuser - 1 topic area, 1 diff that works as evidence, generic edit style claims, and generic edit summary comparison with no no-stale accounts to compare with. -- Amanda (she/her) 05:35, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Fylindfotberserk: Sorry, for clarity, I meant examples of the user you have listed. You do show the similiar edits about the one subject, through links 1-4, but I don't put stock in 5-6, and the interaction is all seemingly in the same area. I'm looking for a second topic area they cross or another diff that shows they related to the sock that is not related to 1-4. -- Amanda (she/her) 16:10, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Fair enough. I think you are good for context now. I just checked to make sure, but there are no non-stale accounts to compare with, so it's impossible to use CU. This will now be left for admin review. -- Amanda (she/her) 02:02, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
