I'm not familiar with the SPI process so as the blocking admin I thought it'd be easiest to come straight to you. TheriusRooney was blocked in March 2021, and you blocked their sock TheriusBuzz in October 2021 (which didn't require an investigation). Now we have TheriusSafari94 who is editing the exact same articles, and uses the same username pattern. Do I have to open a formal investigation or can this be dealt with immediately? 5225C ( talk • contributions) 08:37, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi, i am not 100% sure, but i think " User:RDKKR" is copy-pasting from internet or from Sengupta, Subodh Chandra and Bose, Anjali, Sansad Bangali Charitabhidhan (Biographical dictionary), Vol I. E.g. see [1], [2]. First i thought they are translating from bnwiki, then i saw Draft:Snehamoy_Dutt#Death "He under-took radiation therapy treatmelit both in Calcutta and UK but to no avail. He witnessed the sunrise and sunset of hope. He suffered in all its various hues. He tossed through sleepless nights and cheerless days."!! If possible, Could you please check?

Hi, I noticed an editor who may be a Xenen1970 sock. You have more experience with the sockmaster, and I don't think there is enough yet for a SPI, but perhaps you can spot the similarities easier than me. It's user Shikane111, who recreated Karen Mc Dermott and has the same type of edit summaries as many of the previous socks. Fram ( talk) 17:30, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Dear MER-C,
I am writing regarding the "draft-Herman Parret". Together with bolliwiki (Semir Badir) we've made some changes on this page that has been blocked. We understand your concerns regarding "self-promotion" but we would like to assure you that Herman Parret has no such interests with this page. Bolliwiki & I are his former students and we have also contributed to his Dutch and French wiki-pages. I did the Dutch page and bolliwiki did the French one. Herman Parret is a 83 year old emeritus professor of philosophy so there is no "self-promotion" involved. Because he is a senior of this science of language, we thought of summing up his work with these pages in the 3 main languages in which he published throughout his life.
What happened is that bolliwiki and I gave all the info on Herman Parret to Oesalzity in order to set up the page because we don't know much about how this system works. The only thing Oesalzity did is set up the information on the given page. The proof is that this information is very similar to our Dutch and French wiki's on Herman Parret on which Bolliwiki and I worked and which have been approved.
So dear MER-C, would you be so kind and allow this English wiki on Herman Parret to exist by attaching the page to the existing French and Dutch wiki's? https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman_Parret Considering that you are much more skilled than we are in these matters, we would really appreciate your help. There is no financial goal, Parret is really a philosopher of language, and the only purpose is his place in cultural memory. By this message, we would really like to ensure you that there are only good and real intention behind this initiative.
Thank you, Vlad Ionescu — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vlad Ionescu1978 ( talk • contribs) 13:27, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi MER-C
I see you were recently active at Wikipedia:Copyright problems; would you be able to explain the process to Fritzmann2002? I recently listed one of their articles due to concerns that it was close paraphrasing rising to the level of copyright violation, but the process is not clear to me, and it does not appear that it is clear to Fritzmann either - in particular, I cannot find the forum where these issues are discussed?

Hi @ MER-C:. How goees it? I opened this Afd on Mikheil Lomtadze. Apparently its been salted at [ [3]] per the sockpuppet investigation. I didn't think to check if it had been salted. The editor who created the article User:Deviloper and moved it out of draft is likely a UPE and possibly Bodiadub. Can you take a look at it please. Thanks. scope_creep Talk 12:16, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello, MER-C,
I saw you commented about this article at Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/20200212. I was wondering if this article should have the CSD tag removed, it's been tagged for days without an admin having taken action, the article is being discussed at AFD and at CCI. I understand that copyright violations need to be removed but I'm not sure that speedy deletion is the answer. Thanks for offering me your opinion on this as I don't have much call to interact with CCI activities. Liz Read! Talk! 02:17, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
Hello, I found out using Earwig's copyvio detector (link to comparison) that Aziza Mustafa Zadeh has extensive copied content from two sources.

Gratefully. - Kevo327 ( talk) 16:27, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello, my colleague was instructed to create a Wiki page for a professor at out university and created a draft page entitled with his name (Kostas Kostarelos). Her draft was deleted by you in May 2020 due to copyright infringement. I have been tasked with creating a page for him now, but when I try and create a new draft, it says to get in touch with you first. Am I able to go ahead and create a new draft? Are you able to tell us which part specifically was breaching copyright rules? Any help would be much appreciated, thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by UMKK22 ( talk • contribs) 14:13, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
"have been tasked with creating a page for him"; Wikipedia is a private entity and your supervisor has no authority to order anything here. Please read Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use. Since you have this conflict of interest you are not permitted to perform this editing. I have no confidence you would ever be able to write an acceptable draft. I would suggest that you post to our reward board to ask our editing community to write it for you for a small reward. Chris Troutman ( talk) 15:05, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi, MER-C. If you have a moment can you take a look at Draft:Jon Moses and User talk:Sarah Pesto?

Hello, MER-C. I hope life is treating you well.
Are you planning to keep doing the Suspicious Article lists? The reason I ask is that the most recent list (8 April 2022, sorry I can't work out how to link it) seems to have only one entry and the one before that is from late March. Or perhaps they are now somewhere else?

Hi MER-C, Several months ago an IP from a long established sock-farm took on to open ANI thread against me for some valid self-cites. The behavior looks close to what has been recently at the Ghalib article. At the Asir Adrawi talk page, I just answered the IP-aspersions about why the subject is a notable one, and why the sources aren't self-published and blogs. Since, one of my own articles is cited in the article is cited under WP:SELFCITE, I request you to remove the notability/unreliable sources tag, based on my response. The IP-range has been blocked for their disruption, edit-warring over a month or two ago. But their disruptive edits still exist. Regards, ─ The Aafī (talk) 00:09, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
I've been asked to comment on a discussion at Talk:Super Soco#Article tag where a strongly probable paid editor is having a discussion with Hatchens over the nature of their edits. A somewhat wordy AfD closed with no consensus, and the creating editor is arguing for removal of the UPE banner, and has removed it.
There is some consideration of canvassing for that AfD
Rather than making ANI the next port of call I am hoping for you or a talk page stalker of yours to take an uninvolved look and consider what the correct route is, based on your long experience of handling paid editing.
My own thoughts are that I am standing too close to it to make a reasonable determination. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 07:43, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
