Socks at Raymond Arroyo?

One editor received a 48-hour block for edit warring two weeks ago and has yet to return to the page but this newly registered editor picked up where the other left off. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 19:25, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Skywatcher68, this is tough – on the article's talk page, the original reverts were described as exempt from the edit warring policy; there seems to have been a report at the edit warring noticeboard and it was probably declined at that time. I didn't dig that deep. What I see is, however, that after changes to the content that probably made it inapplicable for the edit warring exemption, there was further edit warring and a 48-hour block as the result. The new account has now continued exactly the behavior that led to a block before, and at very least the last reverts require discussion on the article's talk page rather than continued attempts to rely on an edit warring exemption. There seems to be no other way than at least a partial block to enforce such discussion to actually happen. I'm also afraid that CDavidE08, who has edited the article since 2018 without ever editing any other page, might have a significant conflict of interest, so I have now additionally informed them about the guideline.

Reporting invalid complain based on Lie & personal grudge

Dear Mr Fei,

How are you doing,

I really appreciate your efforts in improving articles in Wikipedia and appreciate your role as an administrator, as you must have observed Mr Saqib has been very unreasonable to me, he has been insulting me again and again which is against wikipedia WP:NPA policy, I forgot to write user edit he reported me to you and then he requested two articles for deletion and being very unreasonable and he has doing personal attacks. We are all here to contribute Wikipedia give our precious time to make this place a better place and do the research to improve each other and he also allege me for creating paid articles, which is truly unacceptable all I said we should take responsibility of each article we create as its our responsibility to continuously improving thus I keep improving my articles I give each day to improve my articles and if I get time I edit or improve or create new article.

Whatever he reported as per policy I improved but he has being very unreasonable and continuedly disrespecting please your kind action is required.

It seems as he toxic person should be reported even I tried to send message on his personal talk page to resolve the issue between us, I am very peaceful person I am here to improve quality of Wikipedia and improve articles in South Asian Region.

As per Wikipedia WP:DRR policy. I hope you will assist me I do not know him personally being from same country he suppose to be supportive and improve articles together, if you review his profile he has doing personal attacks to everyone in his contribution history its mostly these maters. WP:NPA

I hope you solve this issue and issue him warning to comply with policy. Waiting for your kind assistance. Faizan Munawar Varya^chat_{contributions} 11:01, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Faizanalivarya, I think the entire conflict will be at WP:ANI sooner or later, and it can then be discussed there. If you like to, you can start a discussion there yourself. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:17, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gareth W. Peters

Encountered another uw-ublock-wellknown candidate here, apparently first edited as an IP then as the subject himself. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 20:56, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Skywatcher68, I think the username is acceptable and doesn't really uniquely identify that person in a way the username policy would prohibit, but the editing is surely... interesting. And there's an obvious conflict of interest. I have now welcomed the user with {{welcome-coi}}, removed the company name paragraph from it and will now probably protect the article for a while, looking with a raised eyebrow at Contributor892z's contributions too. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:37, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gareth peacocked his own page? lol Contributor892z (talk) 23:34, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We can't know for sure; on the internet, anyone can claim to be anyone. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:35, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog. LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contributions)} 03:09, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Somebody from his place of employment certainly did while logged out. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 03:08, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sock

Dunki2024 blocked on 4 March 2024 at 11:24 by you. Pathaan2024 joined Wikipedia on same day 15:25 4 March 2024 couple of hours after Dunki2024 was blocked. Both users have same username pattern based on Bollywood movies Dunki and Pathaan. Both users made first edits on article Ghor Province. Significant article and edit overlap. These two are same. I have created a SPI for it. Dekhoaayadon (talk) 21:28, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dekhoaayadon, oh! Good catch, thank you very much. Confirmed, blocked and tagged. Please add any further accounts that appear to the SPI too, and please keep me updated! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:08, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ToBeFree, the user above is almost certainly a SPA of Historian2325, who himself is very likely a SPA of an extremely pertinacious sockmaster. I knew from the very beginning since I saw his edits on the talk page of this article, done immediately after his account creation, which was clearly a continuation of an edit war between Historian2325 and Dunki-[1]. I was waiting until he more brazenly revealed his hands. I will file a SPI in the coming days. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 19:31, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Suthasianhistorian8, thanks for the warning – yeah, creating an investigation would be very helpful. Please keep me updated! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 12:09, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ToBeFree: @Historian2325: and me are different users. Suthasianhistorian8 can clear his doubt with SPI check. Dekhoaayadon (talk) 13:47, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dekhoaayadon, yeah, let's just wait for the SPI. Sockpuppetry suspicions come quickly and are tough to deal with in case they're incorrect. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:34, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet Investigation?

Greetings,

I created this SPI report sometime back and I just wanted to ask for your experienced opinion on it? I tried to make it as detailed as possible, but I have not received further opinion on this yet - Creffel (talk) 02:54, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Creffel, thanks for the notification! Done as far as I could. :) ~ ToBeFree (talk) 02:11, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, really thank you very much for your prompt help - Creffel (talk) 07:59, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

request for unrestriction!

hello tobe! I was wondering if you are able to remove the restriction you placed on Al-Daraji since the May 2024 deadline has passed :) I will avoid writing about contentious information on the article and just leave it to genealogy. Wiki-heIper (talk) 22:35, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Wiki-heIper, March has passed, May is in the future – which deadline do you mean? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:16, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

dyselexia took the best of me yesterday, disregard this request :) Wiki-heIper (talk) 13:17, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, no worries, Wiki-heIper. The protection will automatically expire 56 days from now, and while it may take a while for a bot to automatically remove the protection icon template, you'll already be able to edit the article as soon as the date is reached. That said, articles in such topic areas are quickly re-protected in case of disruption, so the most reliable way to regain the ability to edit the article would not simply be waiting, but rather taking the time to help in other areas of Wikipedia described at the Task Center and the community portal. You'll slowly but steadily gain the needed experience to re-request the extended-confirmed permission, and then you can edit these articles normally again. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:44, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay! why not, I'll go ahead and do that. Wiki-heIper (talk) 13:46, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's cool. Please let me know if any questions arise. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:25, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
