Padmanabh Singh
I suspect that in the next few minutes an anon is going to go over 3RR at Padmanabh Singh. They're already at three attempts, despite the inline note + comment on the talk page. I think this will keep happening for a while because Singh's staff have been involved. Might end up needing a bit of semi-protection. - Sitush (talk) 08:17, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
I saw that one too but I left that for the moment as it had other caste interests, perhaps an SPI as there are loads of other SPAs in the history? cheers. —SpacemanSpiff09:50, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
OK, ta. I don't think SPI will achieve much. Some of the historical ones are already blocked and others are, well, too historical or were making only minor changes. OTOH, it might be worth opening a case just for those since Ctpalace, naming that as the master. Then there is the possibility of a CU for sleepers and a formal record for the future. What do you think? - Sitush (talk) 09:55, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
@Bri:, The content was copied from the website of Eventricity, a look at the contributing author's user page might be helpful in answering your question: User:Mark Holtom cheers —SpacemanSpiff02:04, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
I thought that might be it, as the site was referenced 4x and nothing else more than once. Thanks for confirmation. ☆ Bri (talk) 02:17, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
Understood - as the deleting admin, It's you who gets first refusal on doing so.
So now I've been reverted which I'd hoped wouldn't happen, though not surprised. I guess the next step is COIN unless somebody has a better idea. ☆ Bri (talk) 22:25, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
I got a screed of bovine excrement via email from the user who seems pissed off that their company is not being given free publicity on Wikipedia and some nonsense attacking me personally, the user is clearly not here to contribute to the encyclopaedia in any manner other than promoting their business, perhaps some other admin can take action (given the absurd email, I don't wish to take any action) cheers —SpacemanSpiff23:37, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
Hello, SpacemanSpiff/Archives/2017. Please check your email; you've got mail! Message added 17:53, 5 August 2017 (UTC).

THat's not how you're behaving, it's clear that you are here to promote one at the expense of the other, including falsifying quotes, if this continues then you will be blocked. —SpacemanSpiff23:21, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
Excuse me falsifying quotes N. Murali one of the Directors of The Hindu has clearly stated here rich tradition of credibility, objectivity, balance and editorial primacy had of late been compromised as per The Times of India ,I do not get why you are removing sourced information form Times of India here a reliable source .I stop from editing this articles ,I have no connection with any newspaper.Please do not remove sourced information .The same letter has also been published in other media outlets given above.Tintin456 (talk) 02:23, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
Even when the unblock request is profane? I couldn't find anything about being required to keep it for a specific amount of time, hence why I thought it would be fine to replace. Garchy (talk) 02:46, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
There's no reason to, if I'd thought it was out of the normal realm when I declined the unblock request, I would have removed it. —SpacemanSpiff02:51, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
Actually, I don't think so, it's just a template - but the blocking is certainly reserved for those with the power to do so. Garchy (talk) 07:21, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
Need your help / guidance
Dear SpacemanSpiff
This is with regard to your feedback on Powai_Bengali_Welfare_Association, I have seen all the messages posted by you and appreciate your feedback.
Most of them are genuine mistakes as I am doing this for the first time
I need your help and guidance
a) I do not represent Powai_Bengali_Welfare_Association...I do not know anybody there personally, however I have been to many of their programs and events and liked their work. I have found more than 20 media mentions from credible sources about their work.
b) I am a beginner at Wikipedia and have tried to improve their Page, but it appears I am making several mistakes
c) Can I request you to pl revert any of the changes that I have made, but not delete their wiki page due to any errors made by me
d) Can you pl leave me messages on talk page of Powai_Bengali_Welfare_Association on what all I can do to help improve the Page
Requesting your further guidance pl
Thanks

Atlantic306, I'm away for a few more days and I'm not familiar with this mess and I think the IP is dynamic so a block now isn't going to be of much help, since it's a CU block of the original and Bbb23 isn't available, I think GeneralizationsAreBad may be able to help here. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff09:20, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
Spiff is pretty much inactive at present, Abecedare has been absent for some time and RegentsPark isn't doing much. Nor, for that matter, is Bishonen. And Boing! said Zebedee is also away for a bit. We're desperately short of uninvolved admins who frequent the Indic topic area and actually do admin stuff, rather than just hold the bit. You may have to take this somewhere else. - Sitush (talk) 12:28, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed that some large scale additions to Maratha Empire and Mughal Empire were made by the same editor who appears to be adding Bengal-related content to multiple articles. I also noticed that they've been pushing/linking to Bengal Subah a lot and that article's history appears to be sock-city. One of the masters involved is Bazaan while another is Barthateslisa. I'm not sure what the etiquette in such matters is as I've only reported obvious socks before. The user in question has been around since Feb 2016 and I notice that a CU was performed on the Bazaan account in October 2016. However, in the investigation archives, another user has noted that Bazaan is known to regularly make 1000-byte edits which kinda fits in with this user too. Moreover, until recently they were mostly working on music and film related articles. This shift to history-related articles is rather abrupt. Should I report this? Cheers.—Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 17:15, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
@RegentsPark: Done I'm not terribly familiar with Bazaan's oeuvre. But I've done my best. Please have a look and let me know if I've missed anything. Thanks.—Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 19:24, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
Thanks, RegentsPark. I see that the SPI is still stuck on "More info req. (CU)" from the Farabi1994 case. Will a clerk refresh this at some point or should I ping a CU or clerk about it? And I don't know how you guys do it, but I'm now seeing socks everywhere :| The latest is Dona-Hue and a spoonerism account, Yoonadue, who both have a penchant for Hinduism and inaccurate Maratha maps.—Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 12:58, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
I've answered DQ's question on the conflicting diffs, I seem to have gotten WP:INVOLVED with Dona-hue after my warning to them, asked Bishonen to look at it, and the account is blocked now, so that should be settled I guess. —SpacemanSpiff15:11, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
நண்பா நீங்க தமிழ்தானா. ஏன் இப்படி திடீர்னு கடைசி எச்சரிக்கை. நான்தான் இப்ப பணம்வாங்கி விக்கிபீடியால எழுதுற நிறுத்தியிருக்கேனே. COIN உரையாடலுக்கு அப்புறமா நான் ஏதும் தேவையில்லாத கட்டுரை எழுதியிருக்கேனா? இருந்தா சொல்லுங்க.Uyarafath (talk) 16:43, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
