Morning (my time). You CU-blocked Mannargudi Manuneedhi on January 7, 2025. A new account, Lokesheswaran, has posted two identical messages to user Talk pages, including User talk:Daniel Case#Attention to Dheeran Chinnamalai Page about Dheeran Chinnamalai, complaining about supposed vandalism by an IP who hasn't edited since December 2024, asking the article be restored to the version before the IP's edits. They also say that since the article was protected by Daniel on January 7, they "have been unable to make further edits". Note that Lokesheswaran has never made any edits to that article. They didn't start editing until today, even though their account was created back in 2021.

I suspect that Lokesheswaran and Special:contributions/86.98.1.149, who was CU-blocked for one week by Izno on, yup, January 7, 2025, are the same person. Certainly it's fairly obvious that Mannargudi and the IP are the same person (I realize you cannot confirm that and I don't ask you to do so). You didn't tag Mannargudi, so if there's a named master, I don't know who it is. Based on comments on their Talk page, though, it seems like they have at least three other named accounts as well as significant logged out editing.

So, what I'm asking is for you to compare Lokesheswaran and Mannargudi. If you prefer that I file a report at SPI, I can, although it would be helpful to know the oldest master and if there's an existing case. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:08, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bbb23, thanks for asking. I'd say Lokesheswaran is possilikely to Mannargudi Manuneedhi, with intentional CU deception being involved if it's sockpuppetry. Whether it's the oldest account or not, do feel free to create a SPI for the older of both accounts. We'd then have a bit of documentation, perhaps someone naming an older master account, and I'll probably ask for a second opinion after providing mine there. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:08, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot. I'll create an SPI probably tomorrow. I'm too tired to do it today. :-) --Bbb23 (talk) 01:09, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

All good. Thank you very much! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:24, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

While patrolling recent changes, I noticed her surname had been changed so I did some checking. There evidently is no consensus in the Wikipedia community at large regarding the spelling.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 21:41, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Skywatcher68, I think Special:Permalink/1277993534 and Special:Diff/1277992963 should do for now. Best regards, ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:22, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I had a question about a user whose account you unblocked in 2022 on the condition that they not edit "articles about movies, films, sitcoms, TV shows, and the companies that produce them, anymore, until this condition is successfully appealed at WP:AN or removed by you" and whether they were now permitted to edit such articles.

I ran into LegerPrime when I noticed a seemingly promotional and unsourced edit to Alcon Entertainment.[1] I then saw several other edits that lacked sources or justification for content removal.[2][3][4] I can certainly address these issues as independently problematic, but wanted to check first if this user is even permitted to be editing in these areas. Thanks! Vegantics (talk) 22:26, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

LegerPrime, what are you doing? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:07, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean? What I added was mentioned in the article that was already cited. LegerPrime (talk) 23:11, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

LegerPrime, did the community or me remove the topic ban somewhere? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:24, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Never did hear anything else about my proposal to expand the edit filter for this sort of thing.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 03:43, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
