editHey. On the page you have protected indefinitely, the disruptive editor's behavior is not compatible with WP:DEADNAME: "Paraphrase, elide, or use square brackets to replace portions of quotations to avoid deadnaming or misgendering". Since the user doesn't follow the warnings and is extendedconfirmed, I did not request another page protection, but this should be dealt with. ภץאคгöร 11:44, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

edit@Ivanvector, please check this user Truthfindervert and his SPI investigation, he moved years old article Ahluwalia (caste) into draft[1] even with wrong edit summary he is also making articles with poor sources and inaccurate titles like Draft:Kalsi (caste)[2] Kalsi is not a caste but a clan/tribe of Ramgharia caste itself, and Dhanoa Jats (caste) [3] and Jat is a caste Dhanoa is a tribe/clan of the caste not a separate caste Truthfindervert, Khalsajudicary, and Prabh Singh Bains they also belonged to same sockfarm agency. See their Interactions Prabh Singh Bains/Truthfindervert/Khalsajudicary[4] @MathXplore, @Bbb.223.123.2.217 (talk) 14:11, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Ivanvector, I've blocked the IP for a week as a proxy.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:56, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Bbb23: I've been battling a few UPE sockfarms on Special:Contributions/223.123.0.0/19 for a while now, it's a cesspool of spam. MathXplore has been dealing with it on simple. I doubt it's coincidence that this proxy showed up in that range and also pinged both of us. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:17, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- I saw your range block, but I didn't look any further as to what was going on. Why did they ping me?--Bbb23 (talk) 17:20, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- You've probably blocked some of their socks. There's one sockfarm in particular that has been incredibly persistent, probably hundreds of accounts this year alone. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:24, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Case request
editAndy the Grump and Andy Dingley are entirely different people, FYI. 28bytes (talk) 18:38, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

- I replied to your post at RFAR (in my own section). In theory, this means you can't remove it. But if you prefer to solve this by just removing your section, instead of crossing it out because it's been replied to, feel free. I'll just delete my comment too. Floquenbeam (talk) 18:45, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- I think I'll leave it to the clerks to remove it if they think they should. Andy Dingley has a history of personal attacks himself, and I think my underlying point about wondering why we're coming down like a ton of bricks on Thryduulf for referencing an aspersion cast by someone else, while not talking about that someone else at all, is valid. It doesn't seem like there's a case coming out of this anyway. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:12, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Sandstein's response to the whole thing has been extremely weird. Focusing entirely on my quote rather than what I quoted or the entire context in which I quoted it. Thryduulf (talk) 19:57, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- User:Thryduulf I agree. You quoted a troll post, and Sandstein came down on you as an admin rather on the troll. I would have understood coming down on both of you, or only on Dingley. I know that standards for admins are higher, but .... Robert McClenon (talk) 02:28, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

On the case of the many Andys
editRe Special:Diff/1235111790 you are not the first to make that mistake and I'd be surprised if you were the last! I very nearly conflated the two users in the original discussion on Sandstein's talk page but fortunately spotted before I hit publish. Thryduulf (talk) 18:56, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- I did think that there was at least as much reason to list Andy Dingley as a party as to list Thryduulf. It may be that the only reason I knew the difference was that I knew which one had insulted me in the DRV after I rebuked him. The good-faith explanation is that, for some reason, Andy Dingley was unintentionally playing the role of a troll, making an insulting remark to see how much confusion and anger he could cause. The answer to that question is: A whole lot; too much. AndyTheGrump would not do that, because when he insults another editor, he does it directly. Since you weren't involved in either kerfuffle, I understand how you confused two difficult editors with similar names. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:21, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Sock suspect
editA user User:Dabuno blocked by you seems to have come back, user:Dooblts has similar edits like him. 2409:4085:486:1067:A449:1BA:CD1:DE94 (talk) 14:41, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
