Sylvexter69 returned from a long Wikibreak to - speaking frankly - take up a crusade for violating the MoS at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aviation/Style guide/Layout (Aircraft). Faced with the majority of editors pointing out you can't just ignore community consensus, today an account that was created in April but had never edited until today, Bimmons, suddenly appeared on the page to 100% support Sylvexter69's position. Needless to say, this carries the faint sound of quacking on the wind, and I believe a CU is in order here. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 05:06, 6 June 2025 (UTC) The Bushranger _{One ping only} 05:06, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

• Ugh this is so quacky. The second account even arrives right after Sylvexter69 canvasses the other two editors, at 2:39 [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Yuezhi_Huang&diff=prev&oldid=1294176609] and 2:40 [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:DaveReidUK&diff=prev&oldid=1294176678], then adds one more message in the thread at 2:54 [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Aviation/Style_guide/Layout_(Aircraft)&diff=prev&oldid=1294177882], and then at 3:03 here's the new guy [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Aviation/Style_guide/Layout_(Aircraft)&diff=prev&oldid=1294178670], last post 4:16 [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Aviation/Style_guide/Layout_(Aircraft)&diff=prev&oldid=1294184563], and then we get Syl back at 5:22 [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Aviation/Style_guide/Layout_(Aircraft)&diff=prev&oldid=1294189893], after you'd made this SPI report. I'd suspect off-wiki canvassing of the "got into an indignant conversation with a friend" variety though. Up to you if you want to block for meat/canvassing, {{u|The Bushranger}}. I'd wait and see, myself. -- asilvering (talk) 06:33, 6 June 2025 (UTC)
• {{ping|Asilvering}} I'll let this one go for now, especially since I'm techincally involved (I've commented in the discussion there), but glad you're keeping an eye on it. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 08:17, 6 June 2025 (UTC)
