Can we involve neutral admins about this blatant disregard for neutrality?

What is happening in the article about anti Hindu violence in Bangladesh of 2024 is shameful. But not entirely unexpected of Wikipedia. I really get very angry whenever I see these leftists taking over Wikipedia. 103.52.220.222 (talk) 19:03, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

:Hello IP: @103.52.220.222,

:Thank you for your concern regarding the targeted violence against Hindus in Bangladesh. I'd like to share a few suggestions:

:# Let's work together to build consensus among the editors regarding the section you're particularly concerned about.

:# Please review the relevant Wikipedia policies before making any edits or reverts; this will help us enhance the quality of the article.

:# Lastly, having a registered Wikipedia account rather than editing as an IP address can help establish credibility for your contributions.

:Thanks again for reaching out. SpunkyGeek (talk) 02:59, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

On this encyclopedia project, editors assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not appear to do at :Talk:BAPS Shri Swaminarayan mandir (Robbinsville, New Jersey).

File:Ambox warning pn.svg You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on :2024 Jharkhand Legislative Assembly election. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Refer to the following [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:2024_Jharkhand_Legislative_Assembly_election&diff=prev&oldid=1263007286 talk page comment]. And also do not add sources to content you add that do not support said content.

AfD nomination of [[Deportation of Indian nationals under Donald Trump]]

If I understand correctly, you tried to nominate Deportation of Indian nationals under Donald Trump for deletion. That didn't work. The page shows the source code {{subst:afd1}} instead of the message that you probably intended, and the page Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Deportation of Indian nationals under Donald Trump hasn't been created. I deleted the malformed AfD message template. If you want, you can try again, but please make sure that you read and understand WP:BEFORE and WP:AFDHOWTO. — Chrisahn (talk) 00:08, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

:Yes you are right! @Chrisahn,

:Sorry, this is my first time nominating a page for deletion - and made a couple of mistakes.

:I will go through the policy again and make sure it's done correctly.

:Thanks! SpunkyGeek (talk) 02:05, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

Blocked as a sockpuppet

File:Stop x nuvola.svg
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts as a sockpuppet of {{no ping|1=Moksha88|label1=User:Moksha88}} per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Moksha88. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you believe that there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.   -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe|🤷) 08:24, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

Unblock Request

{{unblock reviewed|decline=Unfortunately, it has been over a month since we last heard from you, so I am declining this stale unblock request. Feel free to submit a new request if you would like to return to editing. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 15:26, 6 April 2025 (UTC)|1=Dear Respected Admins,

I am writing this message in complete shock and disappointment. I feel I have been [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Moksha88/Archive#Clerk,_CheckUser,_and/or_patrolling_admin_comments_4 unfairly treated] simply for editing a particular article and without any opportunity to give my thoughts.

I was targeted by User: [https://Abhishek083199 Abhishek083199], who accused me of edit-warring and someone who had no history on the article in question or with me. However, two other admins ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AArbitration%2FRequests%2FEnforcement&diff=1275775594&oldid=1275768203 Liz] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AArbitration%2FRequests%2FEnforcement&diff=1275991259&oldid=1275991132 Cullen328]) confirmed that I was not engaging in edit warring and that the misunderstanding arose due to an incorrect interpretation of policy, which I acknowledged. When this claim was debunked, they attempted to portray me as a POV editor. However, they failed to prove that I was using unreliable sources. Whenever disagreements arose regarding my edits, I remained civil and engaged in talk page discussions to resolve disputes. Since all these accusations have fallen apart, they have now reopened a previously closed case—one that found no evidence linking me to Moksha88. Despite the absence of any new evidence, Tamzin proceeded to block me indefinitely based on her own personal assumptions that people should only edit topics that are related to their native language. And that I have a POV.

User: [http://User:Ratnahastin Ratnahastin's] slow edit war began with [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Swaminarayan_Akshardham_%28Robbinsville%2C_New_Jersey%29&diff=1247178330&oldid=1247177457 this edit] that escalated with 2 mysterious users showing up (see [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Swaminarayan_Akshardham_%28Robbinsville%2C_New_Jersey%29&diff=1254055264&oldid=1252384094 1], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Swaminarayan_Akshardham_%28Robbinsville%2C_New_Jersey%29&diff=1255074298&oldid=1254947172 2]), who've never edited the page tried to restore to User: Ratnahastin's POV version. They reverted repeatedly while the talk page discussion was going on (have a look at [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Swaminarayan_Akshardham_(Robbinsville,_New_Jersey)&diff=prev&oldid=1254947172 3], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Swaminarayan_Akshardham_%28Robbinsville%2C_New_Jersey%29&diff=1255222321&oldid=1255074298 4], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Swaminarayan_Akshardham_(Robbinsville,_New_Jersey)#Lawsuit_in_introduction_section 5]).

I have been accused of a Conflict of Interest (COI), but does uploading pictures of a certain structure automatically imply COI? I am in no way affiliated to the - sock puppets that admin Tamzin has mentioned. The claim that having permission to upload these images constitutes COI is completely baseless especially when I was trying to do the right thing and obtained permission by a formal request per policy. So, is following policy incorrect and does that mean that if any user in the future has permissions to upload pictures related to these structures, they are a going to be assumed a "moksha88" sock? - this does not make sense to me.

Additionally, Tamzin alleged that I am a Native American based on some form of "writing analysis". This is entirely false—English is not my first language. This is yet another instance where her assumption is incorrect.

Given Tamzin's previous history with the topic area, this is a biased administrative action. Given this, I find it inappropriate for her to be adjudicating this investigation because she is a WP:INVOLVED admin.

I respectfully request a fair and objective review of this matter.

PS: I have briefly explained the situation - above, however, I can provide more details on the situation if given a chance to explain.

:{{u|Tamzin}}, I'm curious to know if the above makes you more or less certain about your conclusions earlier. -- asilvering (talk) 05:13, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

:::I assume by this you mean "more certain". -- asilvering (talk) 07:28, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

::::Yes. I mean, sockblock appeals are always tricky things, since guilty and innocent people tend to write similar things, but this particular combination of deflecting onto other editors' conduct, litigating against a misrepresented version of the socking evidence, and dodging the actual substantive evidence, is more something I associate with people who are correctly accused, and as you can see, it's something all the Moksha sox are known for. That said, I wouldn't attach a tremendous amount of weight either way to what SpunkyGeek's said here. The main evidence is what's presented in the SPI. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe|🤷) 07:33, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
