Hi Spiff, re: this guy, do you perchance remember why you flagged him as a sock of Jaswanthvijay? I'm trying to figure out who Vimal2300 is a sock of. Based on name similarity to Vimalraj Selvakumar it looks like they're very likely the same person, but the interaction analysis seems kinda meh for trying to link him to a master. Any info you might have would be appreciated. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:55, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
- I had suspected Li wei ran to Jaswanthvijay and this account was CU and self confirmed to Li wei ran (see some of the deleted contribs of the former to compare with the farm), also I think AntanO had blocked the Li wei one on ta.wiki where contribs matched the Jaswantvijay account. THere's a huge overlap with the Raj TV Tamil dubbings of Colors TV series. I don't remember who the CU involved was but I'm guessing it's Ponyo. If it's anything related to RajTV Tamil then this is a likely candidate, AntanO might be able to help with ta.wiki comparisons—SpacemanSpiff 02:54, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
- Vimal2300 seems sock and vandalized user page of Li wei ran at ta.wiki. But I did not request CU since the previous block was about 8 month old and result might be "Stale" --AntanO 03:14, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
- It seems that a few do "paid" edit for TV channels (including Color TV, Raj TV, etc). I think a policy should implement to prevent such activities since the socks know the CU analysis methods. So, we can't do anything from CU result. --AntanO 03:22, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
- There you go Cyphoid, you may also want to check on Commons as the earlier socks played there too. AntanO, we have WP:PAID and the terms of use too, so paid editors have to follow that. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 03:41, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
- I forgot to mention another sock Ran wei meng --AntanO 02:26, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
Fancruft from a hopping IP at Suraiya is driving me daft. - Sitush (talk) 04:16, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
I have long held the view that if someone contributing to the India topic area has history or truth in their username then they're not going to last long. And so it has generally turned out. I might need to add another variant to the list now, being kshatriya as in Sarthak Singh.... Kshatriya (talk · contribs). - Sitush (talk) 15:31, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
Hi Spaceman. I've unblocked this user, as they have now made a statement to the effect that they withdraw their legal threat. If you've any problems wit this, please let me know. Cheers, Yunshui 雲水 10:25, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
- It's good per my reason for blocking but I expect some other admin action will be needed pretty soon wrt this consortium of editors around these select few articles. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 11:06, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
@SpacemanSpiff: you have misused your admin rights and blocked me for no reason, If you have any real proof of my unwanted action then state it here, by accusing me of false charges and posting wrong messages on my account does't mean that you are right. You have to give me the exact proof for banning me Anti4ITCELL (talk) 04:47, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

- Yes, it is so tiresome having to fashion a new quill every few minutes for amending paperwork. I find tipp-ex is quick but then I have to replace my screen quite often because of the number of blotches. - Sitush (talk) 12:23, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
Keratao has asked for a deletion review of Freelance talents. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. —Cryptic 17:38, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
Hello. Just so you know, I've created an LTA case page for Wikiexplorer13, see Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Wikiexplorer13. MBlaze Lightning talk 07:04, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
- @MBlaze Lightning: I don't know what the threshold for LTA or whether this one meets it, but at one point, I had a suspicion that one of the accounts (Casktopic) in this belonged to either Js82 or Peeta Singh (both prolific sockmasters) but I don't think either of them is in Chandigarh where these IPs geolocate to. Anyway, I've watchlisted the LTA. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 07:13, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
Warrori is surely a sock of Anti4ITCELL ? Same pinging to start here and a call to Jimbo similar to here. The usual Yadav rubbish re: content, of course. Do I need to start a SPI or can it be duck blocked? - Sitush (talk) 20:02, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
- No question. Blocked. --regentspark (comment) 20:09, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
Radavking (talk · contribs), previously warned/alerted. Probably needs deletion of their articles also.
Rohitachwiki (talk · contribs), also previously warned etc. - Sitush (talk) 04:18, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
- Can't you sleep either, Sitush? I'll take a look. Bishonen | talk 08:08, 14 June 2018 (UTC).
- Feel like I have never slept! Thanks for the action. One of the three articles created by Radavking has now been draftified by Boleyn. The two others need either the same treatment or deletion (it *is* a caste POV thing) but I've never moved a live article into draft space and will probably mess it up. - Sitush (talk) 08:19, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
- You'll probably mess it up? I'm a stranger to draft space myself, but I'll see. I note the "article" draftified by Boleyn was
a blank page only the name repeated. Anyway, why draftify them now that the user is no longer allowed to work on them? A topic ban applies to all namespaces. Bishonen | talk 08:28, 14 June 2018 (UTC).
- Well, I've moved them to draft (so now I know how to do that). It seemed simpler, as they weren't quite ready for speedy. I'm damned if I'll inflict AfD's on the community for this, and theoretically the user may successfully appeal the topic ban. Bishonen | talk 08:33, 14 June 2018 (UTC).
- @Bishonen: great, thanks, and I understand the logic. Only one thing outstanding for clean up at the moment - do you fancy sorting out my kitchen? - Sitush (talk) 09:01, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
- Coda: not sure whether this is a bureaucratically correct community discretionary sanction block or not, but I get tired of fiddling around with stepped blocks for cases like this. Rohitachwiki needs a WP:CIR block in any case; it doesn't have to be logged as a community sanction, if anybody objects. I'll go berserk in your kitchen next, Sitush, I'm just in the mood for it.
