Page you were editing: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Add a little bit of spice (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Add+a+little+bit+of+spice filter log)
Description: I tried to create the page, but was accused of sockpuppetting. I responded to this with an explanation:

"I have no clue who "add a little bit of spice" is. Im assuming they tried to create a Marcus Pork wikipedia page too. Im assuming there have been many of us. That would make sense as Markus Pork asked for a wikipedia page and Im sure im not the only one of his 176k followers who responded to his request and tried to create one. I thought wikipedia might see multiple requests to make a page for him and simply google him to see if he's real, not ban anyone who mentions him. Check out: https://www.tiktok.com/@marcuspork?lang=en And one of his videos he mentions a wikipedia page: https://www.tiktok.com/@marcuspork/video/7067614555014303022?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id7061014583641474566 We are not "sockpuppetting." There are genuinely 176K people who may have responded to his multiple requests." It then said it was unconstructive.

Oshwah, it tripped one of your LTA filters. Any thoughts?

At the same time, report fixed. ~~I think they were trying to add User:Marcus Pork to the SPI?~~ Rusty4321 ^{talk contributions log} 17:47, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rusty4321 - My edit filters only flag and log hits; they do not intervene or prohibit editing in any way. The reason that edit filter #53 flagged this user's edits was because he/she included a term typically used by sock puppet users. It's usually very good at flagging sock puppet users but is common enough, though, that some false positives can be expected. I'd just ignore it and move on. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:59, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As to the 809 (hist · log) hit, it looks likes they were editing a closed SPI to claim that they aren't a sock. Except no one accused them in the first place.
