Hi, Empire AS, hope you are fine, this might be a totally unnecessary message, I wanted to ask about your views on the official song of 2021 Pakistan Super League what do you think about it? I would honestly say it is one of the worst PSL song to exist. What do you think about it? Again, this might a really unnecessary message. Thank you. Tahaaleem Talk 06:46, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tahaaleem, sorry for the late response. I was busy in my college days as you may see on my user page. Speaking about the song "Groove Mera", I'd honestly say that it's the worst song of all PSL songs to exist. Although the previous song "Tayyar Hain" wasn't good too much but now that seems to be a bit better than this. It broke the all records of being a bad song. It has nearly 127K dislikes and 255K. Why Naseebo Lal or Young Stunners? It's all due to PCB. Why PCB don't asks the singers like Atif Aslam, Ali Zafar, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Asim Azhar and Sahir Ali Bagga to sing for? Well, only PCB should be blamed for this for hiring such singers and making such a horrible song. I didn't even like a single word or line of it. Hope for a good song in PSL 2022. Thank you. Empire AS Talk! 06:46, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, hope you are fine, the song has attained 128K dislikes now, you're right on the point that this is the inferior song to exist, yep PCB should be blamed for that, and a lot of fans also have expressed that Atif Aslam or Ali Zafar would have sung this song instead, also we still don't know how will be 2022 PSL song, I would just stay that it will be more cringe, the stupendous PSL song to exist was "Ab Khel Jamay Ga", however "Groove Mera" is my most abominated song ever, however I also see you have been blocked, which was I really shocked to see, when you replied, however I hope your unblock request is considered and you get unblocked, I just hope I also don't get blocked due to talking to a blocked user. Thank you. Tahaaleem Talk 08:02, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Tahaaleem, Thank you. I'm also expecting to be unblocked. You should not worry as you won't be blocked for talking to a blocked user. I've decided that if my account wouldn't be unblocked then I'd leave Wikipedia forever. Thank you. Empire AS Talk! 08:52, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I hope your account gets unblocked, because you are a amazing editor of Wikipedia, you have created astounding articles, there is also a WikiProject you have started, if you left that project might be abandoned, I only hope you get unblocked so you can help Wikipedia further. Thank you. Tahaaleem Talk 09:18, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
طه علیم Thank you for the appreciation and compliments. I also have a lot of memories attached to this account and some other things too. Hope for best. Thank you. Empire AS Talk! 09:35, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If you haven't helped me going through Wikipedia, I wouldn't be able to reach where I am today, all this happened just because of your help, I would always appreciate your help, I think this might be our last conversation. Farewell and Thank you for everything. Tahaaleem Talk 11:26, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ertuğrul Bey (fictional character)

Hi Empire AS, do you think this article should be nominated for DYK? Limorina (talk! ◾ contribs) 16:32, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Limorina, sorry for the late response. Actually I was busy in my college days as you may see on my user page. The article is long enough and well-referenced too. You've done an amazing job in creating, expanding and citing that article. A marvelous creation by you. However, it's late, too late to nominate it for DYK due to WP:DYKRULES. If it was created, expanded 5X or improved to GA within the past 7 days, then it could be nominated for DYK. If you improve it to Good Article then I may nominate it for DYK. I'd also suggest you to use the script User:SD0001/DYK-helper.js.  Thanks Empire AS Talk! 09:25, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Help with the Russian Ambassidors

I'm trying to get ahold of the Russian Wikipedia ambassadors but it looks like a bunch of the Russian-English ambassadors linked on the Russian Wikipedia ambassadors section are no longer apart of Wikipedia. Who should I contact about this on the English Wikipedia? Is there a certain help desk I should write to? Thanks! Tyrone Madera (talk) 22:04, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tyrone Madera, Well I didn't understand what did you say. Can you explain it further? Or you should try WP:HD. Hope that you'd get your issue fixed soon. Thank you. Empire AS Talk! 12:02, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can I get some help if you have the time?

Hi! Can you help me with editing the wiki page on Filipe Nyusi for neutrality? I feel like I've gotten a little over my head on this one. There's also a dispute going on. Thanks! Tyrone Madera (talk) 04:14, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tyrone Madera, sorry for the late response. Actually, I was busy in my college days as you may see on my talk page. I'd certainly help you to fix that issue as soon as possible but let the block be lifted first. You should also add an {{Copy edit}} tag on it so that some others users would edit it and may fix the existing issue as I can't help till the block remains. Besides this, I also what to thank you for all you did for me (discussed with the blocking check user). Perhaps, this may be our last chat but again thank you very much. You did a lot for me.

Blocked for sockpuppetry

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Empire AS (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I've not used any sock puppet account. In the past, I used ALM Aadeez due to security and soon abandoned that account so I removed that user box from my user page. (you may see that in my user page history [1]). What I do is that I use a Wi-Fi that is provided in my hostel to edit Wikipedia. The other accounts might have the same IP as of me due to that Wi-Fi that is used by all of my hostelmates. Why I would create another account when I've such a good account where I've a large number of edits and good articles too. I wasn't even given a single chance to provide my arguments at the SPI case. I know neither Zindaaab nor Gorilla Werfs. I've not created another account and the IP you see may be shared by someone else as the Wi-Fi isn't only used by me. I'd abandon to use that Wi-Fi too to prevent such types of IP sharing and would use my personal mobile data in the future. Thanks. Empire AS Talk! 05:44, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

There are some gaping holes in your defense, and I'm being kind by describing it that way:

  1. You have heavily edited articles related to Atif Aslam.
  2. Here at 06:01, 20 January 2021, Zindaaab just happens to upload an image of Atif Aslam.
  3. Here at 08:39, 20 January 2021, Zindaaab requests File:Atif Aslam smiling.jpg be deleted.
  4. Here at 11:54, 20 January 2021 you upload an image, File:Atif Aslam while smiling.jpg, which you later add to the Atif Aslam article.

So, your claim that you are unrelated to Zindaaab is demonstrably false, since it would have to be an extraordinary coincidence that two independent members of the same hostel would be 1) editing Wikipedia (a niche hobby), 2) editing in the same subject area, 3) uploading images of Atif Aslam, 4) with similar file names, 5) within hours of each other, and 6) that these people would be unknown to one another. And as for your claim that you used the ALM Aadeez account for security reasons, I find that very difficult to believe when:

Four hours after you tried to beef up Tajdar-e-Haram to save it from speedy deletion,[2] for alleged "security" reasons you logged into the ALM Aadeez account and deleted the speedy nomination. You absolutely knew that you weren't supposed to delete the speedy (it's stated very clearly in the template) and so you used your other account to sneakily delete it so it wouldn't look like you did it, and then conveniently you stop using the ALM Aadeez account after you did this.

While having multiple accounts is permissible, that edit constitutes bad-faith editing, and that would be a violation of WP:SOCK. Since you have failed to acknowledge any of this, your unblock request has been denied. Now really the only questions outstanding are: Why are you sneakily using multiple accounts to hide edits related to Atif Aslam? Are you being paid? And what was the reason for the post on GorillaWarfare's user page? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:14, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Cyphoidbomb, Let me provide my arguments.
  1. I edit the articles related to Atif Aslam heavily because I'm a big fan of him and I love all of his songs. Even before creating this account, I was an IP editor and edited Atif Aslam article. I wanted this article to reach FA so I worked on it most of the times and also I'm one of the top contributors of this article.
  2. Zindaaab uploads an photo of Atif Aslam and soon requests deletion doesn't mean that they are me. There are lot of Atif Aslam fans and he is enormous popular in Pakistan. They might request deletion of the photo because they might think it to be copyrighted. In the deletion nomination, they also say that they aren't the original author of the photo.
  3. I uploaded that image because that belonged to me. I was the author of the image and I added that to the article. However, I can clearly see a slight time gap between their and mine upload. But that might be a coincidence, whether you believe me or not.
Wikipedia is one of the top 10 websites, so editing it is very common. That is not a new thing. I already said that Atif Aslam is very popular so there may be a lot of his fans throughout the country. Regarding the image upload, that was an image taken by me therefore I'm the original author not Zindaaab. By looking at File:Atif Aslam while smiling.jpg, don't you think that the image name is according to the photo? He's smiling so I added the word 'while smiling' in the file name as it was a descriptive name of the photo.
Regarding ALM Aadeez, (Atif refers his fans as Aadeez), I created the article Tajdar-e-Haram and a user nominated it for speedy deletion. I fixed the issue provided in CSD. After some time, I removed that CSD tag from that article because that issue was fixed. I used the account ALM Aadeez as then I was using a public computer not my mobile. If you think that article would be deleted if I wouldn't remove that tag then re-nominate it under CSD. Let's see what would happen. Although I stopped to use ALM Aadeez, but I included the userbox till December 2020. [3] to let other users now about my sock-puppet account plus redirected that account to my original account. I've never used that account to get an illusion of support or to engage in edit wars. I edit Atif Aslam related articles because I'm his fan. See my creations, most of them are related to Atif Aslam and music. I swear that I'm not being paid for even a single edit. Why I would do such comments on Gorilla Warfare page even after getting my cvua training from Puddleglum2.0 and Thanoscar21? If such was my intention then I didn't make 16K+ edits and 40+ articles, 50+ templates and categories and I would have did this all in the beginning of my account not after 10 months just to spoil my community trust and get blocked. Thank you. Empire AS Talk! 17:17, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
When people get caught up in a lie, one thing they often do is provide details nobody asked about, and answer questions that nobody asked, which I see a lot of above. For example, I didn't ask you why you uploaded an image or why you named it "Atif Aslam while smiling.jpg", rather, I stated that there were six extraordinary coincidences surrounding Zindaaab's uploads and yours, and that some of those coincidences was that you both used similar file names. But I found another coincidence: The "Atif Aslam smiling.jpg" uploaded by the Zindaaab account was the exact same picture as the one you uploaded a few hours later, an image you claim to have taken yourself! So, no rational person looking at this string of coincidences would possibly believe they are coincidences no matter how much you yammer. The likelihood you will be unblocked while maintaining this obvious BS story is virtually nil. Your only chance of being unblocked would be if you came clean. But even then, there's a serious question about whatever conflict of interest you have with regard to Aslam, since it's not very often we see editors take up-close photos of celebrities' faces unless they have some sort of connection to them. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:41, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Cyphoidbomb, You said that uploading files with similar names, so I explained that the name of the file was clear from the photo as he was smiling. Giving similar names to such images may be very common. It was the answer of your question of uploading files with similar names. The other thing I said that I'm fan of Atif Aslam was to clarify you that I'm not a paid editor. I also didn't shoot this photo myself but I asked one of my friends on Facebook to send me his photo so that I could upload that to Wikimedia. Whereas, I've never seen him live. As soon as I got this photo, I uploaded the photo and then into the article. If I were Zindaaab then I'd stop using that rather to use more and why I'd upload such photo from a sock puppet account rather than uploading from my original photo. What did you mean by "came clean"? Again I'd say that I have never edited for pay but for my interest and hobby. If you still think me to be a COI, then I'm also the top contributor of Dirilis: Ertgrul (Turkey), Boonie Bears (China), Bandbudh Aur Budbak (India), WikiProject Lanka Premier League (Sri Lanka) and many others. So am I a such big paid editor that I'm being paid by Pakistan, Turkey, China, India and Sri Lanka? Well on this page, you may see a list of my favourites plus verify that I edit these articles mostly. This is just to clarify you that I'm not being paid. Another thing, that if I were to say such thing to GorillaWarfare then why here? They have provided a link to their Twitter account. Why I won't use Twitter to talk with them rather than messaging such irrational here on Wikipedia just for a block? Still I'd say that I've never edited for pay and also I've not did that to GorillaWarfare. My block is baseless. Well, you've rights and advanced permissions and you can block anyone (even before letting them to give their statements) and since I don't have, so I'd have to bear this. Btw, the tag placed on Tajdar-e-Haram {{db-person}} was wrong as it was about a song not a person. Thank you. Empire AS Talk! 04:52, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Tahaaleem is my good friend on Wikipedia. We've worked together on a lot of articles and wikiprojects. I'd request him to tell here what he thinks about me. Thank you. Empire AS Talk! 07:24, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, so I am here to give my opinion, Empire AS has helped me a lot going through Wikipedia and other things, without his help, I would still be a inexperienced user. After knowing that he has been blocked, I was very shocked to learn that, the user has maintained good faith with other Wikipedians, I would say that, that he didn't do that, but if he did, then I don't what should be my reaction, in conclusion I would say that I wouldn't consider him doing these kind of things, but if it is true, then I don't know, the user and me has worked on a lot of articles. Thank you. Tahaaleem Talk 09:01, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Hut 8.5 and Dreamy Jazz: Can you help? Empire AS Talk! 11:58, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot do much as this is a checkuser block, and I am not a checkuser. I would note that checkuser tool contains information which is more than just your IP. So, although I do not know what checkuser evidence led to the confirmation, it is likely to be more than just your IP address. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 12:06, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Dreamy Jazz, if not IP address then what? Looking at their contributions, I see that Zindaaab made no edit while Gorilla Werfs made only edit to Wikipedia. I had already revealed about ALM Aadeez in my userboxes to be a sock puppet of me for security reasons in the past which I soon abandoned to use. Morever by watching this page, I don't see any connection between me and the other editors. I'm confused. Thanks! Empire AS Talk! 12:30, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Information stored in the checkuser tool includes other technical information. I am aware that it also includes user agent strings. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 14:41, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There's nothing I can do about a checkuser block even if I wanted to. They can still be appealed, including to the Arbitration Committee (see here). The evidence given above is pretty convincing to me though and if this was you then it's appalling. Hut 8.5 16:22, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Mz7: Can you help? Empire AS Talk! 12:44, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging other checkusers or admins won't necessarily help. Your unblock request should be reviewed in good time. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 14:42, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I’ve read your explanation above and it doesn’t sufficiently explain the data in CU. I don’t mind another CU giving their opinion, and I’m more than happy to walk them through how this was confirmed. As for Gorilla Werfs, the overlap isn’t that hard to find: your last edit before being blocked was to Enrique Tarrio, a page GorillaWarfare has edited fairly extensively. You found her user page from the page history and then created a sock to comment on her appearance 10 minutes later. TonyBallioni (talk) 16:39, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
TonyBallioni, well I perform such type of edits like adding short description, removing extra space and capitalization on many articles. The same I did with the above article. Really, doesn't this seem to be a prediction or a guess? As I edits an article, finds the top contributor of it and then creates a sock-puppet to comment on her appearance. Well, why would I do this? Just to get blocked? Thank you. Empire AS Talk! 17:31, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don’t try to guess the reasoning behind people acting inappropriately on the internet. You did do this, however. I just re-ran the checks on Gorilla Werfs and the evidence is pretty clear. I stand by my conclusions and block. TonyBallioni (talk) 18:24, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
TonyBallioni, Ok, if I were to do this then why here on Wikipedia? They have also provided a link to their Twitter account. If I were to say such things, then why I won't use Twitter to talk with them rather than messaging such irrational on Wikipedia just to get a block? Other thing, the page was edited by a lot of users before and after my edits like Liz, CambridgeBayWeather, NoahDavid771, and many others but you still think that I'm the only one, not from them. Just by looking at the same IP, I guess, you believed that it was I. Did their edit summary match me? Did their way of typing match me? Did their symbols used match me? How can I make you trust that I'm speaking the truth? Thank you. Empire AS Talk! 04:38, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You aren't going to be unblocked because nobody could think of a good reason why you did something stupid. There is good evidence that you did in fact do it, and people do stupid things all the time. The block isn't just based on you editing that page, it's based on technical evidence, but even if there is a reason why the technical evidence is mistaken (such as editing from a hostel, as you claimed above) then that wouldn't explain the fact that you'd recently crossed paths with GorillaWarfare. Someone else editing from the same hostel might be plausible, but someone else editing from the same hostel who happened to notice GorillaWarfare at the same time isn't. If your reaction to being blocked was to accept responsibility and apologise then you might have got somewhere, especially as you're still young. But this track isn't going to work. Hut 8.5 10:44, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hut 8.5, Really? If I were to do this then I wouldn't do it know but I'd have done it in the past when I was a newbie. I can't imagine to do it now when my account is 10 months old and have 16K+ edits. In the past 10 months, I've not done any such activity (you can check my contributions). So, there arise no question of doing it now. You said: people do stupid things all the time but if I've ever done this in the past at any moment then definitely there would be a record of such activities performed by me. What a story! I edited a page, found the top contributor and created a sock just to post something immoral and immodest rather than using Twitter, where I'd have no worry of being blocked. I came to know about GorillaWarfare about 2 weeks ago when she edited a page from my watchlist, but I did nothing in that period. A random user from the hostel may create an account and post a message on their talk page (by seeing at their edit, what I also noticed is that their capitalization of words, emoticons and edit summary don't match with any single edit of mine). I don't see anything that is hard to believe here. Can you explain 'same time'? You said: If your reaction to being blocked was to accept responsibility and apologise then you might have got somewhere, especially as you're still young. But this track isn't going to work. Good advice though! But how can I accept something that I've not done? I'd be guilty only if I do that but can't apologize for something that I've not even done. I can't lie just to be unblocked and take the false responsibility that isn't performed by me. Still I'd say that I've not done this with GorillaWarfare. Thanks! Empire AS Talk! 11:21, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You're not going to convince people to unblock you with this line of argument. You can't imagine how you could have done this? That's not going to go very far when there's evidence that you did in fact do it. Personally I don't think it's that hard to imagine a straight male teenager catcalling a woman he thinks is attractive. There aren't any contributions like that in your edit history? Of course not, that's why it was done with a sockpuppet. Using one account for legitimate editing and others for disruptive editing is so common it's specifically listed in the sockpuppetry policy. (In any case this isn't your first account.) As for "same time", you made this edit to Enrique Tarrio at 19:44 on the 12th. The Gorilla Warfs account was registered at 19:52 and made this edit at 19:54. Now a checkuser has said there's technical evidence tying you to the Gorilla Warfs account. Let's say, hypothetically, that it was somebody else editing from the same hostel. GorillaWarfare has made numerous edits to Enrique Tarrio and her name is all over the edit history and the talk page. Do you expect us to believe that this hypothetical hostelmate happened to make that edit minutes after you edited that page? And that they were coincidentally uploading images of Atif Aslam smiling hours before you did? Pull the other one. Hut 8.5 12:18, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hut 8.5, I'm not trying to convince other users. I'm just telling what's the truth. You said that I did it using a sock puppet as there were not any such edit in my contributions. But why it was for the first time? I mean to say that if I created a sock this time for such activity then I'd have also created a sock in the past for these kind of actions. Where's that sock? If I can create a sock now to keep my contribs clean then why not I've created sock in the past for this purpose? The reality is that I've never performed such edits, neither in the past nor now. Speaking about this edit, I'd say that I lied then. Actually I was a newbie and receiving teahouse invitations plus welcome messages. So, I did this to prevent these. Soon I removed that as that was a lie. Now I understood what are you thinking? You are thinking that I edited a random page, found the top contributor and created a sock puppet to comment. She made this edit on 7 February 2021. I was watching this page (if you are doubtful, then see the article's history, I'm one of the top contributor of it). I also noticed that edit but not created a sock on that day (7 February 2021) to comment on her appearance whereas after a week, while editing a page at 19:44, I did this. Amazing thought! If I can post this message after editing the article on 12 February, then why couldn't I do that on 7 February? Sounds queer? What if I didn't make that edit on that day but after a day or two so to keep me safe from SPI case. Was I such a fool that I make an edit on an article and within 10 minutes I do this all. Why didn't I wait to make that edit on one day and create sock puppet next week because I already have waited for a week (from 7–12 February). Thanks!
