Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

Both editors with approximately 100 edits advocating for the removal (and actually attempted to remove) of an UPE tag from Anurag Sinha, a page created by blocked user Carlmumba . Note, I am not sure if these two are the same as Carlmumba, but believe the two are in the least connected to each other. Here is why - In addition to the advocacy, similar styles usernames, and same operating system edit summaries, their tag team at Talk:Anurag Sinha is suspicious, specifically this statement made by Fixing001 in which they state, "I see there was a cleanup made for language and eulogising, by @fixing001, if you find that incomplete then as a senior editor, i request you must do it yourself." It appears the user forgot which account they were logged into prior to leaving the message. CNMall41 (talk) 05:48, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The image on the page was deleted for copyright violation and then re-uploaded in Wikimedia Commons by Centerpiece12. Then, in classic Sock/Meat fashion, re-uploaded to the page by account DSTR123 (new account, just created, only four edits, added the image uploaded by a suspected sock, and miraculously found their way to a deletion discussion using the same broken English as the suspected socks). --CNMall41 (talk) 22:21, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I have explained at length what I feel about the removal of the paid template, I also feel that since my number of edits are low, @cnmall41, you must not dictate your superiority on me to prove my edits non-credible. My interest stays in this field of Art & Culture and also in the work of this particular artist. First, you did not provide any explanation on the talk page for proving the payment details made by article subject. When an editor @centrepiece12 is asking you, you are making random edits to the citations on a single day and pushing it over to deletion page. Why? Why have you not cleaned the page when you made the paid template? Why after someone is asking you to explain? Or request you to consider your edits again, you are retaliating with edits without any explanation?


Also, I have checked references for a many artists and media personalities in India, most of the citations are interviews and from press releases and media houses like TOI, PTI, ANI etc. How do we normalise that?

I have nothing to do with any other editor on Wikipedia. Please take into account that it is not that any editor who wants to say something that is contrary to what you edit for an article, is related.

I suggest to have look at the Article again and sort it out properly. If there is any evidence of paid creation, any transactional settlement proof, please delete and if not, then let’s be just and keep the article.


Thanks for hearing! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fixing001 (talk • contribs) 08:02, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
Neither I have deleted any image nor there’s any addition done by me. Please recheck the picture with its upload details etc. Your information is misleading. Centrepiece12 (talk) 08:42, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
