dear editor,

some user named secret of success, without explaining, is removing content from Telugu cinema and is replacing it with 2 year old content, I think it is not correct. I presume he may be vandalising the page, as i have been seeing, the article may need complete protected status, to avoid consistent vandalism and edit wars. I request your kind self to guide me.

Thank you Sir.

I thank you for cautioning me about COPY-VIO. I'll definitely take more precautions now before including a chunk of text into an article. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 08:09, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Ruderow

Any chance of you taking a look at User_talk:Ruderow#Kulin_Kayastha.2C_again?Salvio dealt with it last time round but he's on/off wiki due to health issues, per the notice on his talk page. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 18:41, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Kulin Kayastha

You seem to be unaware of the previous disputes over this article. Please be specific with your concerns so that I can address them in a better way. The message you left was very vague, and please do not revert the last edit. Discuss whatever you have to on the talk page first, if you go through the article and the citations that have been given now, Im sure you'll be satisfied that none of the WikiPolicies were violated this time around. If you find any such anomaly, try and remove it manually rather than just blatantly reverting it. Ruderow —Preceding undated comment added 11:31, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

And please see if the sources really are cherry picked and unreliable as Sitush thinks. He seems to have a problem with all the edits to that article, whether sourced or un-sourced. Do compare the sources cited by him with mine and draw a conclusion. As you'll know, Im not much of an experienced editor here, and I am keen on learning more, so even if you find problems with whatever was written by me, point them out and tell me how to correct them, but just don't leave the article as it was, it was extremely misguiding. How it was, we can discuss further on the talk page, Ill not use up this space more. A lot actually has already been discussed on the Kulin Kayastha talk page, and I have tried to address all the issues that came up there. But, somehow Sitush is bent upon proving whatever he's written and wherever he's seen it from to be absolutely infallible, and to be really honest, I think he's being trying to bully me to give in, being an experienced editor and I being so naive. On the last occasion as well, i.e. before he got me banned, I sought help on how to take this to a dispute resolution forum as well but to no use, I just got banned.

Calcuttan + Ruderow = Quack. I'll file a report at SPI when I am off this mobile thing. - Sitush (talk) 12:03, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
Btw, Ruderow, you did not just get banned. In fact, Salvio specifically unblocked you so that you could file something per WP:DR but it seems that you chose instead to walk away until the orecise day that your ban expired. That is not encouraging behaviour. - Sitush (talk) 12:06, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
When you come back from your block for sockpuppetry, edit in line with our policies, else you are likely to be either blocked or topic banned for a much longer duration. —SpacemanSpiff 04:04, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Krantmlverma

Hi, you have just declined an unblock request for Krantmlverma (talk · contribs). The timing of the request concerns me: it has happened after a period of silence and after the recent appearance of Quicksilver7784 (talk · contribs) who has been attempting to introduce Verma's books at Ram Prasad Bismil - there is some discussion concerning this here. Should I file a report at SPI or do you think that might be too flimsy? - Sitush (talk) 09:27, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

It's definitely meatpuppetry if not socking. My only concern here is that Quicksilver's command of the English language is a lot better. But I haven't looked deeply, so I don't know for sure. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 09:34, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Seems there are multiple socks. —Vensatry (Ping me) 14:01, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

I'll let the CU sort this one out as there's just a lot on this; also think a sleeper check might be needed, I've blocked two in the last two days. —SpacemanSpiff 02:40, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
