Hey there, Someone recently told me to seek help from you regarding an article I'm developing in my userspace: User:Vice regent/CowVigilantism. Could you please leave some feedback? I'm particularly interested in knowing if you think it is neutral.VR talk 01:59, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

...is not only constantly recreating his promotional non-notable draft, but is also a rather obvious sock of N R Pavan Kumar (talk · contribs) (hence my G5), who was originally blocked for the same promotion. Please consider just blocking the sock, they've recreated their thing at least four times with this account (three times in their user sandbox page, and once at Draft:Pawan Kumar N R (notice the w)).--Jasper Deng (talk) 09:33, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
- Jasper Deng, done. I seem to have missed the SPI link when I was doing the rounds. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 09:37, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
Got your email, thank you. I feel weird that I've seen his nipples. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:09, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
Hi
You were the last one to update the Smile Group. We have some more updates and wanted to know your coordinates for us to share updates Manishvij1 (talk) 05:57, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
- If you have reliably sourced content then you can add it yourself. The page is just an advertorial right now and should be deleted as such if you don't add reliable sources. —SpacemanSpiff 06:02, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Needs a look. A new user in Cattle slaughter in India article. Kautilya3 is right, the account is impersonating a name that seems to be a political figure. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 14:36, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Ms Sarah Welch:, Kautilya3 was being too kind, it wasn't just simple impersonation that could be sorted out with a name change, it's pure trolling, blocked as WP:NOTHERE in addition to the name vio. —SpacemanSpiff 14:58, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
question
Dear SpacemanSpiff , I am new to wikipedia. Please can you explain any inappropriate edits( that I received a message about )so I do not repeat the same mistake. I try to always always cite reliable references when I edit. Regards, M Acharya. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Acharya63 (talk • contribs) 10:39, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

Spam
Hey man, FYI, I opened a case here about the Decentnil spamming. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:25, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Cyphoidbomb: aren't my-free and decentnil two different spammers? the my-free chap is focused on South Indian actresses while decentnil is focused on Bollywood? —SpacemanSpiff 14:47, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
- Oh shit. Will have to fix. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:00, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
- Hmm, I guess the MO was so similar that I assumed the two were connected. And here the my-free.website guy (who seems to be centered in Sri Lanka) added a blogspot ref. Maybe I was hypersensitive to the similarity. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:08, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
- Most of these have similar MOs, the COI articles are a huge mess too, I once deleted one title repeatedly created by two different sock farms -- assume it was a bid contract where they get paid if the article stuck or something like that. —SpacemanSpiff 15:37, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
User reverting while discussion in progress
The user was reverting while the discussion was in progress at Kovur, Nellore district. Can also see the talk, where I took up discussion.--Vin09 (talk) 14:28, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
- I'm not even sure what's going on there, but both of you are edit warring (and looks like over 3RR). I've suggested to you before that in such cases where you can't get agreement then to ask for opinions at WT:IN or 3O etc. At this point I'm not going to take any action, but if you report it at WP:AN3 then both of you are likely to be blocked. —SpacemanSpiff 14:46, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
- Just see here, Talk:Kovur,_Nellore_district, the user wrote he made a mistake and reverting older content, I just restored the best version as he has accepted it was wrong. Please check his restoration.--Vin09 (talk) 14:53, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
- Could you take a look at User_talk:Vin09#Your_comment_at_WP:AN3.--Vin09 (talk) 15:42, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

- As I've said above and as EdJohnston says on your talk page, you need to discuss this on the talk page and get some uninvolved editors to take a look. I've also told you before to ask for help at WT:IN etc when in doubt or facing a conflict like this. Alternately check with editors like Arjayay or BilCat who don't have a dog in the fight but edit India location articles. —SpacemanSpiff 16:09, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
- It was already referred at [1] and also kept discussion. But the thing is the user himself wrote, he made wrong edits and reverting to earlier version, but reverted to the version which has less ref, than one I have given.--Vin09 (talk) 16:13, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
- I'll follow what you said in your above statement.--Vin09 (talk) 03:53, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

JKLFHQ
Hi Spaceman, JKLFHQ seems to mean what the user name says. I gave a coi-username notice. Cheers, Kautilya3 (talk) 09:03, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Kautilya3: "Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front Head Quarter" It's also a twitter handle of someone advocating an independent Kashmir - I can't see any identifying information there so not outing. And a YouTube channel. I'm guessing it's a one man band but I could be way out. Doug Weller talk 11:22, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
- Seems like I blocked at the same time as your note here, also a likely sock -- Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Naqash3000. —SpacemanSpiff 11:29, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
My salt request went in at the same time as you were deleting the article. Oops. G8 please. Cabayi (talk) 12:30, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
- done. —SpacemanSpiff 12:33, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you. Cabayi (talk) 12:35, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
Sock farm
Hello SpacemanSpiff, I just notice you just blocked user Rohitchauhan7023 as a sockpuppet of Rohitchauhanofficial but I found the article was first created by Irohitchauhan back in February 2016, and after that it was created under different titles by users listed below who are already blocked so is it possible to tag them and change the master? it will be helpful for the future cases.
- Rohit Chauhan (talk · contribs)
- Rohitchauhanofficial (talk · contribs)
- Rohitchahanofficial (talk · contribs)
- Richarddev (talk · contribs)
Thank you – GSS (talk|c|em) 12:11, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
- I've blocked irohitchauhan as there's no point in leaving one of the accounts open for further use. I don't think Richarddev is the same -- most likely a business contact. I don't think a retagging is necessary at this point, but this may be of interest to Ivanvector who pinged me here reg a diff account which I now think is more likely connected here or to some others on the history of Khesari Lal Yadav. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 12:35, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
- The reason I included Richardev here is because he removed the article for deletion notice from Rohit Chauhan the same day he was registered but I'm not sure if it was his first edit. GSS (talk|c|em) 13:25, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
Iron Age India
Hi. Could you move Iron Age in India back to Iron Age India which was the original title of the page prior to this ruckus? I was unable to move it myself. The "in" is left over from "Iron Age in South Asia"; cf. Bronze Age India. FWIW, I nominated Iron Age India for CSD to facilitate the move and was declined as on my talk page. Thanks.--Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 10:46, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Cpt.a.haddock: I've explained here, I'll do whatever is decided there, I have no opinion on this. —SpacemanSpiff 10:51, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
