I hope this warning wasn't intended for me? The first speedy nomination was by User:Liz, and the second was by an anon editor in India, who also posted here about it. Wikishovel (talk) 15:05, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

@Wikishovel: it was a general note, not intended for you specifically. I'm pretty sure that the IP is the page creator editing logged out (I have not checked and wouldn't be allowed to confirm anyway), and was trying to revert Liz adding the tag but didn't see that Ritchie333 already removed it, so they restored it inadvertently. Anyway, I've come across this behaviour especially from AFC reviewers where if one speedy criterion is declined then they try a different one, or just repost the same one and hope a different administrator sees it, and that's not how speedy deletion is supposed to work. You were obviously not doing that.

Given how this sockmaster seems intent on repeatedly recreating the same articles (they're very likely being paid to create them) I think it's worthwhile for the subjects to be reviewed at AFD and deemed non-notable, then if anyone else recreates them they're eligible for G4 deletion even if the subject tries to hire someone else to write their bio. Sort of killing two birds with one stone. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 15:18, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Slovak Slovenia

The page Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Slovak Slovenia has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category had been empty for seven days or more and was not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may have become empty on occasion.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review.

MY RESPONSE

Please go through my response. I strongly suggest WP:VERIFY for edits made Sutyarashi and one good reason from him as to why exactly he is misquoting Angluish on pages like Sultanate of Swat , Shilmani, Swati tribe, even Shahmiri dynasty and Pashtunization process.I would be one of many he has reported to be blocked and passing derogatory remarks on authors like Raverty, and others while seems okay with Rajatarangini which under Wikipedia policy is also Primary Source.

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Pirjhando

Hi Ivanvector. Hope you are doing well. There is a SPA with COI on Sayyid Ihsanullah Shah Rashdi and Badi' ud-Din Shah al-Rashidi. Both are in AfD. Can you please look into this on priority as most of the translations on the AfD seem to rely solely on their input/word and they have denied COI. I had a discussion with Vanamonde93 here regarding the same. Thank you. Jeraxmoira (talk) 19:01, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

I'll take a look this evening if nobody gets to it before me, but my laptop battery is about to run out and I don't have the charger with me. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 19:04, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

No worries, please take your time. Your help is appreciated whenever you're able to look into it. Thanks again! <3 Jeraxmoira (talk) 19:07, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

How should we deal with this?

Hi Ivanvector! I want to bring this to your attention that there is a very explicit case of meat-puppetry going on with regards to Bangladesh liberation war-related articles. Wiki.arfazhxss posted a thread on reddit 3 days ago to recruit editors to edit the articles and join talk page discussions to support him in his POV disputes, especially on Bangladesh genocide and Rape during Bangladesh liberation war. Also see this comment by him on that thread. As he got blocked for edit warring yesterday, the meat-puppets began to continue the disruptions on his behalf. One of them admitted being recruited from that thread and also said there are other forums where they are trying such recruitments. I posted notices about this meat-puppetry on article talk pages affected but now those meats are even removing those notices from the talk pages [2]. I'm refraining from reverting them as you earlier warned me of edit-warring but I think this now requires administrative action, especially since Wiki.arfazhxss will be soon returning from his block and will rally these meats to cause such disruptions on a bigger scale.

As a disclaimer, I'm not involved in any content dispute with Wiki.arfazhxss although I did report him at WP:ANEW and at WP:SPI.

Also pinging @Bbb23: who has witnessed some of their recent disruptions. LucrativeOffer (talk) 01:42, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
