Thanks

Hi. Thanks for the quick checking. Is it possible you might look at this one too [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Ilyazamani12]? It should be an easy confirmation. Vanezi (talk) 19:39, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

:: Hi Vanezi, I had a look yesterday, and it wasn't straightforward, so I have left it to another checkuser to have a look. PhilKnight (talk) 19:43, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

:::@PhilKnight I added new evidence and thanks to Vanezi's supportive comments, I think it deserves a CU. Kajmer05 (talk) 10:52, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

StayCalmOnTress

Thanks for your work [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/StayCalmOnTress#03_June_2025_2 here]. The same day that {{u|Pppery}} deleted Murder of Sana Yousaf G5, User Sunuraju created Draft:Murder of Sana Yousaf. I don't know what to do at this point as I have emailed evidence to PAID, started [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard/Archive_218#Sunuraju this discussion on COIN] which received no traction, and filed a few SPIs (they are evading CU as they know the process). This user is not only leading this farm, they are [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:CNMall41&diff=prev&oldid=1294072066 throwing it] in Wikipedia's face as nothing has been done. If you are willing to look closer I would appreciate it. I can provide more evidence to their connection if necessary to show the behavioral evidence. CNMall41 (talk) 16:13, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

SPI

@PhilKnight Hi, can you look into this case again? [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/MHD1234567890] I have just filed a SPI, they made themselves very obvious and insulted me on my talk page (with several IPs) a few days ago. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AKajmer05&diff=1292886816&oldid=1292882475] Kajmer05 (talk) 22:31, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

TPA

Not sure what was going on here, but it looked like vandalism and vague threats, so I reverted it. You may or may not want to revoke TPA. 🪷 nahida 20:52, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

You just blocked Rounak. Thank you. However, he has immediately created {{User|Rounak A}} 10mmsocket (talk) 14:23, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

Quick note

Contacting you as you were the last administrator in the A5 LTA SPI; I noticed some good-faith things by good-faith editors regarding the SPI are going against ArbCom editor sanctions, so I ask you check out the note I left the concerned editor; was this the correct move on my end? From here, how should I or the editor in question proceed ideally? Every time I even type ArbCom I get the feeling that I'm in over my head. Departure– (talk) 20:31, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

:: Your handling of this has been faultless. MarioProtIV opening an amendment request is the correct approach. PhilKnight (talk) 22:40, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

Sufmi Dasco Ahmad

Hi @PhilKnight,

In [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sufmi_Dasco_Ahmad&oldid=1296166239 this edit summary], you described the edits of @Sitengils as "good faith edits". However, if you look at the page history of Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, you'll see that there has been an on-going edit war, with several self-described "representatives" of Sufmi Dasco Ahmad actively trying to remove the academic misconduct allegations. Sitengils seems to be one of the main actors in that effort: take a look at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Sitengils their contributions].

Sockpuppet back

Hi, I just noticed that the sockpuppet User:ShovelandSpade and User:Chumash225 is back again with his IP accounts, see: User:2A00:1358:E237:EC00:389A:8F50:A951:BBC0, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Omorphita&diff=prev&oldid=1296363538]. I already had reported him for sockpuppetry but Have no idea how to stop IP attacks like these. I left a comment again at the Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Cypriot Chauvinist. So wondered If you could help with that. Thanks. Woxic1589 (talk) 16:09, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Following the closure of SPI

Following the closure of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kamal Afghan01, Pshtun has contested the deletion saying they were the ones to create the page (with no other edit history for those pages), see [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Conquest_of_Qazvin&diff=prev&oldid=1296396540] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Capture_of_Farrahabad&diff=prev&oldid=1296396440]. I know you tagged as unrelated, but that's pretty strange. Bobby Cohn 🍁 (talk) 19:34, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

:: Thanks. Checkuser isn't perfect. The behavioral evidence is good enough for a block. I'll block them as suspected. PhilKnight (talk) 19:40, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

[[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Saishna96]]

Hi, can you also please add this text aswell. As second suspect.

Thesazh userpage is very similar to user:Milli's Boy and user:Taffystone socks of saishna96. 2405:201:C410:3058:A176:15DE:8F18:5E14 (talk) 20:12, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

:::: {{ping|Thesazh}} - you probably should post this on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Saishna96, because the case could be handled by someone else. PhilKnight (talk) 21:03, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Your almost-namesakes

Hi,

I just came across a silly joke draft at AfC, deleted it, and soon an identical one appeared by a notionally different user. The usernames {{no ping|Phil gnight}} and {{no ping|Rhil Knlght}} look a bit like yours, so I thought they might be someone you've recently blocked, or maybe an LTA.

Do their edits (now deleted, plus one of them has an image at Commons) ring any bells with you?

Cheers, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:23, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

:: No, they are not familiar. Thanks. PhilKnight (talk) 07:40, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

:::@PhilKnight Hello, since June 23, many new users have edited the article I created. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Dobruja&action=history] The problem is that they all seem to be the same user. I would like to create an SPI but I don't even know who they are.
