Addz7777

Wondering if you would be willing to have another look at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Avish773/Archive#07_March_2025 this SPI]. You stated there was not enough evidence to justify a check. Not only name styling similar, but Addz7777 just [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anandha_Ragam_%28TV_series%29&diff=1290655493&oldid=1290165721 did the same behavior] as documented in the SPI. I can wait to refile when they do it a few more times but hoping you would be willing to have another look. Thanks. CNMall41 (talk) 17:50, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

:@CNMall41 you should file it, let me know, and I'll endorse it. I don't have time at the moment to do a complete investigation but there is enough to warrant a real look at this point. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 18:46, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

::Thanks. Looking closer this looks like more of a farm for Star Networks so lumping a few more accounts in and filing now. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:32, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

:::[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Avish773 Filed]. There are probably more accounts and I can dig up more differences if you feel necessary, but I think the ones I listed should turn up quite a few (as well as sleepers possibly?). --CNMall41 (talk) 21:36, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

10K edits?

BK, I'm unfamiliar with this...AE, with (I assume?) a rough consensus, can declare an article requires only editors with at least X edits? Can you point me at that? Valereee (talk) 20:16, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

:{{tpw}} From WP:CTOP: "A rough consensus of administrators at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard ("AE") may impose any restriction from the standard set and any other reasonable measures that are necessary and proportionate for the smooth running of the project." Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 20:29, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

::Ah, yes. I was thinking there'd be many who felt 10K wasn't reasonable/proportionate, but maybe I'm wrong. Valereee (talk) 20:34, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

:::I suppose those hypothetical "many" would then have to head to WP:ARCA. -- asilvering (talk) 20:56, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

:::It's a reasonable objection. I think it'd depend on the situation, and in most case a lower number would be more reasonable. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 21:22, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

:::Yeah basically as long as a rough consensus of administrators is convinced that 10k is appropriate for specific articles (only arbcom could do it in a topic area) then there's nothing stopping them. Practially speaking 10k might not be obtainable as the right place to start such a restriction but I would guess there is a number that could get consensus at AE for some reports in certain topic areas.
