I'm thinking Somen2828 (talk · contribs) is a sock of Shikhasinghpapneja (talk · contribs), who you blocked recently, judging by the edits. Seasider53 (talk) 10:28, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- Sure looks that way doesn't it. Technically only
Possible, based on geolocation, but behaviour is pretty obvious. Girth Summit (blether) 10:46, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- Are you able to protect the page? The sock is getting adventurous. Seasider53 (talk) 13:13, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for your contributions. This sock user keeps popping up, I note you blocked the account User:Darius Bowman last time. I suspect that a CheckUser of User:John Sam Dean Winchester will confirm that this is also a sockpuppet. The pattern of adding dubious/false information to Canadian transit articles is evident, IYKYK, but sometimes I can't come up with good "diff" examples. Would appreciate your help in blocking this user. 162 etc. (talk) 17:40, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Reminder to participate in Wikipedia research
editHello,
I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.
Take the survey here.
Kind Regards,
From Sunuraju
editI didn't understand why Saqib got blocked ? by --Sunuraju (talk) 09:27, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- Saqib has been blocked by WP:ArbCom. I don't know the reasons behind the block - my guess is that it involved confidential evidence that can't be posted onwiki, but that is literally a guess - I know nothing about the situation. You didn't respond to my last question on your talk page. You have been editing for 14 years, and have made about 27,000 contributions. You've written loads of articles. How is it that you were posting on the talk page of a one week old account (which turned out to be a sock), asking them about making drafts? I'm not accusing you of anything, I just can't understand what was going on there. Girth Summit (blether) 10:53, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- Not defending this editor GS but they also asked the same at my Talk and Izno's so I think it's less sock and more CIR. The asking randomly about Saqib to multiple disparate editors though doesn't help with the sniff test though, which I raised at SPI. Star Mississippi 23:25, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- i didnt know that i talked to one of sock accounts by asking allowed by add drafts of pasktiani dramas, i had grammar issues, i do have misktakes in pasts, yes i add indian movies and korean dramas and actors during 2010s include Ha Jung Woo during my 14 tenue in Wikipedia. Sunuraju (talk) 01:47, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I saw you deleted Udne Ki Aasha under the G5 criterion. This article has been deleted a few times before for the same reason, but it is currently at AfC. I was thinking of accepting it now, but before I do, I just wanted to check if there are any issues. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:33, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. That draft was also created by the same (presumably UPE) sockfarm. I've deleted it. Girth Summit (blether) 14:59, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info! – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:00, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- They recreated Draft:Udne Ki Aasha. – DreamRimmer (talk) 07:36, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi Girth!
editHi Girth, I like your edits and pages a lot. Thank you for enriching Wikipedia with your dedication and passion. Your contributions inspire others and make a lasting impact. 156.57.86.117 (talk) 10:39, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
Sock patrol
editThank you for your good work at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mathew Banks. Another minor sock has now emerged:
- Matty Banks (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
- Tools: Editor interaction utility · Interaction Timeline · SPI Tools
Based on past performance, further "Matty [A-Z]anks" accounts may be along to repeat the edits soon. A search by name doesn't reveal any obvious sleepers: Matt-Banks3 appears to be an unrelated good-faith editor. Certes (talk) 21:01, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Blocked the obvious one. I'm making dinner, will do another CU sweep tomorrow, see if any loose ends need tying up. Girth Summit (blether) 21:07, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Another non-urgent obvious sock appeared:
- Mathew Thanks (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)

You've got mail
edit
It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template. Maliner (talk) 09:07, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- Greetings, Girth,
- I hope you are doing well. It seems my email, which I had sent you some days before, landed in your spam folder. Do you mind replying to it? Maliner (talk) 05:07, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Maliner, sorry I've been quite busy over the last few days. I see that you've added your name to the list of prospective clerks at the SPI Clerks noticeboard, which is the usual first step. Your application will be considered in due course, please be patient - we're all volunteers, and reviewing potential clerks' contribution history takes time.

Invitation to provide feedback
editInspired by Worm That Turned's re-RfA where he noted administrators don't get a lot of feedback or suggestions for improvement, I have decided to solicit feedback. I'm reaching out to you as you are currently one of the users I've selected as part of my recall process. I hope you will consider taking a few moments to fill out my feedback form. Clicking on the link will load the questions and create a new section on my user talk. Thanks for your consideration. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:58, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hi BK, always good to hear from you. I'll take a look at that as soon as I can. Girth Summit (blether) 16:26, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Much appreciated! Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 16:34, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
