Hello Ed; hope you are doing well.

The userpage of Lumbarschen, who was identified as a sockpuppet in WP:SPI/Arbe21 21 § 30 August 2024, remains to be tagged per WP:SOCKTAG. A clerk will probably notice it before the case is archived, but I thought of letting you know.

I would also like to ask whether the rest of the accounts mentioned in the comment section of the aforementioned case – Henrikurti and Randomuser2412 – were checked for "possible" links? They are reported in a different case (see WP:SPI/NormalguyfromUK § 20 August 2024), but the evidence in relation to Arbe21 21, is compelling. There is some additional suspicious activity that wasn't mentioned; such as Lumbarschen appearing a day after the creation of Skanderbeg's Serbian campaign by Henrikurti, to contest its deletion (diff). Though, this is not necessarily due to sockpuppetry; there are additional possibilities to consider. Demetrios1993 (talk) 14:54, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ed,

Sorry to bug you. I recently cleaned out a filmography of Jesus Franco. I feel like an editor with similar editing patterns of User:HerbLightman has come in and made changes to more European genre filmography articles through the User:49Bottles account. Not sure if it needs more time or eyes, but figured I'd point it out. Thanks. Andrzejbanas (talk) 18:55, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Whups looks like we both did this around the same time here. Hope it does not complicate things. Andrzejbanas (talk) 22:22, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User was recently site blocked indefinitely from the Japanese wiki for brute forcing edits without consulting the Talk page first (this disruptive cross wiki activity started roughly a month after their initial edits on the EN counterpart), sockpuppetry, harassing JP editors who were against their behaviour with false accusations, as well as maliciously reverting edits of said editors (which coincidentally happened during the edit block request).

This user was under the scrutiny of an RfC and an edit block request, both of which were ignored by said user, except for the socks. User was continuing their edits on the English pages during the duration of both incidences. This user engages in aggressive POV-pushing and does not engage in Talks nor do they present information when pressed, as noted here, here and here. I would like to know what measures could be taken against this user. 14.192.210.103 (talk) 23:40, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This IP user is an involved editor spreading false allegations. A CheckUser was performed and the sock puppet allegations were not substantiated.

I was blocked based on a comment request where only 3 people gave input, but I believe that to be for reasons of offending Japanese sensibilities. On Japanese Wikipedia I have had a target on my back for a while for attempting to bring the Nanking Massacre article in line with the English counterpart (on Japanese Wikipedia the Nanking Massacre is named "The Nanking Incident" and many of the genocide allegations are scrubbed from the article).

None of this is relevant as I haven't edited on Japanese Wikipedia in a while. Symphony Regalia (talk) 00:27, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The last paragraph of the CU request by a JP admin mentions "an abnormal amount of logins within a short timeframe" for those accounts, which was the basis of the block by another JP admin. It should be noted that the socks were created days later after your initial edit on the subject, all of which were involved in the same subject matter.

You were requested for comments on both the RfC and the edit block request to defend yourself, would you kindly explain why you chose not to do so? 14.192.210.103 (talk) 01:53, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

One more sock-attacked page "sevens football" needs deletion, see my log Cenderabird (talk) 16:21, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are insisting that Sevens Football should be a redirect to Sevens Football Association and not be its own article. Has this been discussed anywhere? I notice that some of the past editors of Sevens Football are now blocked but I'm not well-informed about any sock issues that may exist. You could link to any SPI reports.

I put three months of semiprotection on Sevens Football Association. EdJohnston (talk) 00:24, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Ed, hope you are doing well. I have a conundrum.

I have been unable to find this journal article:

• Jeannin, Jean-Paul. "Jean de Luxembourg, seigneur de Haubourdin, dit le Bâtard de Saint-Pol." Revue Historique, vol. 147, 1923, pp. 145-175.
  

I checked Jstor more ways than I care to relate and found nothing. Revue Historique link

I have also been unable to find any mention of Jean, Lord of Haubourdin, Bastard of Luxembourg / Bastard of Saint-Pol, or Hennequin in this book:

• Allmand, Christopher. The Hundred Years War: England and France at War c.1300–1450. Cambridge University Press, 1988, no page number given
  

It is searchable/viewable via Wikipedia's library link with Cambridge

AND, I have been unable to verify the existance of this book:

• Browning, Reed. The Duke of Burgundy: Philip the Good. G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1978, no page number given
  

World Cat has no record of it
Isbn search brings back weird stuff or books by Richard Vaughan and William R. Tyler

Would you, or anyone reading this, be willing to do a search for this information? --Kansas Bear (talk) 02:21, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello KB. We have an article at Jean de Luxembourg (1400-1466). Why not explain on the article's talk page what you're looking for? I looked at Revue Historique, and their contents seem to be available through JSTOR, including 1923. Is your concern that there is no article in the Revue matching the reference? If Jean fought in the Hundred Years War there ought to be coverage. There is an actual historian named Reed Browning but I couldn't find a book by him about the Duke of Burgundy EdJohnston (talk) 17:58, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some of these references were added by User:TorreyTree within the last few days. You could ask them. EdJohnston (talk) 18:06, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• "Why not explain on the article's talk page what you're looking for?"

The majority of editors don't check much less respond to queries on article talk pages.

• "Is your concern that there is no article in the Revue matching the reference?"

My concern is I can't find the article used as a reference in the Revue Historique journals. I was hoping that I had simply missed it. As for the book by Reed Browning, I was hoping I was missing something there as well. It would appear not. I will inquire with TorreyTree for further information. Thanks. --Kansas Bear (talk) 20:30, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
