Something fishy at Andhra Pradesh Medtech Zone Limited

Hi BH, could you please take a look at the edit history at Andhra Pradesh Medtech Zone Limited. There's been a lot of back and forth with some large content submissions in the 8k range. The most recent account to resubmit it is an SPA. The whole thing is fishy. I only find one article intersection between Invisiblelibrarian and Andrew nyr, but why are they both so adamant to keep that 8k block? If you look at the text, it's totally copy/pasted from somewhere, although I can't figure out where, and it is totally promotional. Let me know what you want me to do, if anything. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:13, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

That text looks like some of this doesn't it? ...but that may be copied from somewhere else as you say. Ivanvector handled the SPI case.

Uhh, Amtzwiki = Andhra Pradesh MedTech Zone, no? Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 16:47, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

New Dazoutti sock(s)?

Would a CU sweep for new socks of the user be justified based on the new account, Glowanisittiha, being created and immediately repeating an edit by a previous CU-confirmed sock (compare this edit with previous edit by Caegleam)? Abecedare (talk) 16:51, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Abecedare, Yes. :) Check the newest SPI filing.
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 03:12, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. They are not stingy about creating accounts! Abecedare (talk) 14:26, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

175.38.0.0/17

Hi! Since you previously blocked Special:Contributions/175.38.0.0/17 from Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Srinesh.saravanan and I'd rather not backlog SPI with more obvious IP cases, would another longer block be appropriate? They returned exactly after block expiry to the exact same articles doing the same type of edits (and some exactly the same). I don't think it's likely that they will ever stop or desist. While they were blocked (and another prolific sock who is still blocked), these articles saw significantly decreased disruptive editing. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 22:25, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

They made a new account, so went ahead with SPI report. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 09:33, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Talk page access revocation

Hey Berean Hunter, hope you are well. I saw some personal attacks by 111.65.35.10 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) on their talk page. Not sure if you want to revoke TPA or just keep an eye on it. Just wanted to make sure you're aware. -- LuK3 (Talk) 02:48, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

 Done. Thank you, LuK3.

Wikimedia Training Paricipant IP Blocked

Dear Berean, could you please have a look at why Editing from 82.132.192.0/18 is being blocked. This an IP for a new user who is trying to create an account for the first time in preparation for an online Wikipedia training taking place today. Best Regards.Abd Alsattar Ardati (talk) 11:45, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you, the situation is already solved.Abd Alsattar Ardati (talk) 11:56, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Similar behavior

This account behaves in the same way as at least two of the accounts you blocked yesterday (removes sourced information + adds unsourced). Care to take a look?[1][2] --Semsûrî (talk) 14:33, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Semsûrî vandalising Assyrian pages

Hi Berean Hunter, this user:Semsûrî keeps vandalising tons of Assyrian-related pages, adding irrelevant information and spreading his Chauvinistic view on minority pages. Please take a look how he is changing the perception of Assyrian related pages into some sort of Kurdish expansionist view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashurpedia (talk • contribs) 14:46, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Ashurpedia, would you please explain how you became aware of what you allege? You just created your account yesterday. How did you come to know about this?
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 14:54, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi Berean Hunter! I became aware of his behaviour through Twitter it went viral. This is pure vandalism of Assyrian pages and we will not accept him re-writing our history and portray it in a Kurdish manner. Please, lock him from the pages he has edited related to Assyrians.

(removed attempted OUTING) - Katie^talk 16:35, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Ashurpedia, Thank you for being honest as to why you are here. "We will not accept him re-writing our history" ...perhaps, but this would need to be done within the policies and guidelines of Wikipedia. Here is one policy and another that the new users who are becoming involved in this are running into. The fact that there is a push to try to get two users banned by reporting en masse constitutes harassment as well. It takes discussion on talk pages and reliable sources to sort article content out and not concerted attacks on editors. Please refrain from calling anyone "vandal" as that constitutes a personal attack under the circumstances. Please see this to learn what does and does not constitute vandalism on WP.

I suggest that you take a step back and read some of the policies that I have linked to above. Ask questions if you have them.

Jess Jecko article

Hi there, I saw that you deleted an article for Jessica Jecko (a member of the US Women's National Field Hockey Team) because the person who created it was banned. I would like to create a new article for Jess Jecko, but the editing page instructed me to reach out to you first. -LS — Preceding unsigned comment added by LaSombrerera (talk • contribs) 22:39, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi LaSombrerera, feel free to create a new article for her.

Requesting Reduction of Protection Level

I'm requesting a reduction in the protection level of the List of Assyrian tribes page so that I can begin adding sourced content to it. Sources are ready to go. I think the sockpuppetry will have died down by now.--Assyriandude (talk) 05:05, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Assyriandude, Consensus is necessary for additions to the list. You should make proposals on the talk page so that they may be discussed. There has been no discussion so far.
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 12:03, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Ah I see, thanks for sharing that link. I'm still in the process of familiarizing myself with the rules and norms and sharing that link pushes me towards that goal. Thanks. Assyriandude (talk) 14:58, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Florence genetics vandal is back

Hi Berean Hunter, you blocked 62.19.128.0/18 for three months (see this ANI report) but they're back to vandalizing DNA haplogroup articles again. Do you want to re-block it? I looked at the whole 62.19.128.0/16 range and there was one outside the /18: 62.19.83.88. The most recent one, 62.19.174.0 is already blocked. Thanks... --IamNotU (talk) 19:56, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello

You've blocked my IP address @ user_talk:45.72.156.102 even though I've never made an edit from this computer without being logged in, my IP address page has no edit history and I've never made a deleterious edit to Wikipedia in 20 years. What's the meaning of this? Please remove this block.
