Organized interference with this article by the Zemmour campaign

This article is being edited by members of a task force attached to the Zemmour campaign. Please see WP:VPM#WikiZedia: an organized influence operation at Wikipedia by the campaign of a candidate for French President. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 21:33, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think this campaign was largely focused on FrWiki, which his voting population is more likely to read. There has been comparatively relatively little disruption here. Hemiauchenia (talk) 21:42, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I concur with @Hemiauchenia. I took a look at this some weeks ago when I attempted a clean-up of the article, and I did not notice any suspicious activity. JBchrch talk 23:49, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, sorry about my broken English. I tried to sum up the story here on meta: m:Talk:Wikiproject:Antispam#Clandestine task force actively promoting Eric Zemmour's presidential campaign at Wikipedia. Best regards, - Bédévore ^{[knock knock]} 16:18, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

With a book and over two dozen articles in the French press about it, this has become a notable topic on its own. I've added a section about the online influence campaign to the Reconquête article. Ideally, that would fit best in an article about the campaign committee, because that's where it all happened, but given that we don't have that article (yet?) it's not entirely clear whether it fits better at Reconquête, or here. I would argue that the article about the political party is a better fit, but as long as it is included somewhere, I don't feel strongly about which article should host it. I do think that the "non-hosting" article should include a sentence or two about it, and point to the other one for more detail. Mathglot (talk) 02:43, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Need to add a reference to Zemmour supporting Putin. Ref. to the "Z" letter on Putin's troops and armoured vehicles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zachary3080 (talk • contribs) 17:41, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Zachary3060, there is no evidence that the Z is a reference to Zemmour. Additionally, content describing Zemmour's position on a closer partnership with Russia is already on the article. Hope that helps :) A. C. Santacruz ⁂ Please ping me! 18:19, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
