2278:). They all appeared on WP in mid-February, they all make edits involving pictures on India-related pages. For example, note that the contributions of Nikkul and Indianhilbilly seem strikingly similar. The first four claim they are college students—all good friends—who are planning to use their WP editing experience to land "computer internships" this summer; however, the nature of their edits (IMO) are hardly the kind that would land any internship, let alone a computer one. Users Coolemonade and hunniebunnie are supposedly college women in the US (according to their user pages), however, when I showed their writing to some college women in the US, their verdict was that the writing, was not the work of women, at least not ones that had grown up in the US. Of course, there's alway the primary possibility that these users are all making good faith edits and just happened to appear on WP at the same time. However, for me, enough red flags have been raised that I feel someone like you, with more WP experience, should look into it. Thanks. 2791:(reset indent) Ok, I'll explain it. A restriction was put by Dmcdevit on them not to edit the same articles. I think Dmcdevit meant that they should not use their accounts to make the same type of edits in the same articles with a view to evade 3RR. Looking at your diffs, I cannot find any instance where they have tried to evade 3RR, or vote the same way in such a way that it affects the outcome of the vote. As Sarvagnya has explained, it is quite impossible for both of them to totally not edit the same articles, as both of them come from the same geographical background. Taking that and the fact that they have not been causing any harm to wikipedia, the restriction on them has been lifted. - 842:. Fowler has gone on revert wars and has even indiscriminately removed the citations I procured after hours of research. His purpose of edits and assesments of mathematics are also given on the talk page, which not only is unethical but since it seperates geometry from mathematics, is also flawed. Since he has asked you for advice, I would recommend that you use your position to bring Fowler to the discussion table before he reverts again. His section, as inappropriate as it is, has still been allowed by me to stay in the article for the time being. 31: 1292: 679: 777:). The material s/he has removed was all sourced and consists of text from articles in internationally known journals or well-known text-books published by Wiley and searchable on Amazon.

Please advise. 846:

The users in question, of course, are 2172:. I have repeatedly said that caste based discrimination and untouchability is outlawed and not the caste system itself and have given the article from the constitution of India, but he and one more user (70.113.122.230) have never provided the source where it says so and reverted my changes.

I have concerns that the user in question may have ben a sockpuppet of Fowler, given the nature of the editor involved it would not be improbable to assume that he would have an alternate account to aviod other users from checking on his contribs.

Dude so you are in effect accusing me of being a meatpuppet? Look, i didnt have much involvement with Hkelkar or his socks. I was the one who pointed out his sockpuppetry to Rama's Arrow on Hindutva article. I only eidted Indian mathematics when I was going thru fowler and fowler's edits. I have

I am quite concerned. I am unaware of having edited that page at all since my 04:20 UTC edit. I see no reason why your edits should have been reverted and am 99% sure I didn't (though the edit history definitely say I do). It seems to be an echo of this revert I made

Hi - in light of the fresh cases of socking, I've blocked Hkelkar indefinitely. I ask you to review the decision and the entire case, one final time. As the ANI discussion was dormant for some time while Hkelkar was not, there was no need to wait any longer (IMO).
