They seem like a sock of Thakor Sumantsinhji Jhala, for example see this edit war over a redirect hijacking [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Koli_Samaj&action=history] between them and an IP , I think they were edit warring while logged out with themselves to create an illusion of them not being TSJ because they reverted the IP only a minute later.

Hello,
:Yup, they ''could'' have been edit-warring with themselves. There are so many LTAs in the caste, esp. Rajput, area that it is hard to be sure of who's who and what mental games they are trying. Blockworthy in any case. [[User:Abecedare|Abecedare]] ([[User talk:Abecedare#top|talk]]) 15:21, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
Hi, it is regarding [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Marathi_people&diff=1236381714&oldid=1236221240 this]. Note that this might be a sock of {{noping|YilevBot}}, new SPI case [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/YilevBot here]. Thanks. - [[User:Fylindfotberserk|Fylindfotberserk]] ([[User talk:Fylindfotberserk|talk]]) 13:07, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
:{{reply|Fylindfotberserk}} Thanks for that info. Not familiar with the sockmaster myself but several CUs ({{noping|Drmies|Spicy|Ponyo}}) seem to be. So hopefully, the SPI will be resolved soon w/o needing a deep dive into the behavioral matches. Cheers. [[User:Abecedare|Abecedare]] ([[User talk:Abecedare#top|talk]]) 18:27, 24 July 2024 (UTC)


The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete.

Can this proxy be blocked per Wikipedia's open proxy policy-[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Open_proxies#Policy "Open or anonymizing proxies, including Tor as well as many public VPNs, may be blocked from editing for any period at any time."] and obvious sock puppetry?

:{{reply|Southasianhistorian8}} I was about to suggest that AFD would be a better venue to discuss the article's notability than relying on a prod (which, even if granted is [[WP:REFUND|easily reversed]]), but I see that you have already [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Katoch–Sikh war|anticipated my advice]]. I've watchlisted the AFD page and will protect it if sockpuppetry becomes an issue so that the discussion can focus on the subject and sources.
:{{IPuser|139.228.59.123}} is surely being used for block-evasion but I'm not too familiar with the tools available to check for open proxies and so can't say if the IP is one. Perhaps you can ask a CU at their talkpage or at [[WP:OP/R]]. Cheers. [[User:Abecedare|Abecedare]] ([[User talk:Abecedare#top|talk]]) 21:30, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Just ping me if there are signs of socking at the AFD and I'll see what can be done to keep the discussion disruption-free.
