[edit] Saedirof

1. Saedirof (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser) has been constantly edit-warring on Sengunthar, Mudaliar and Devadasi using multiple sock puppets and open proxies to push POV. (Check [10], [11], [12]) and was warned by many admins and finally blocked for disruptive behavior and edit-warring constantly. Check [13], [14]. Finally the last check user user results revealed that he was also using open proxies and blocked for a week: CU proof:[15]. Recently he has resumed edit-warring after expiration of block in the same articles: [16], [17], [18], [19]. Also he keeps blatantly lying and reverting by falsely accusing me of being a banned user. He was also warned by admin Jéské Couriano (talk · contribs) multiple times [20], [21] that he will be blocked if he continued to do this. Saedirof (talk · contribs) must be banned for resuming edit-wars in the same articles using various socks.

2. MarkPC (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser) just deletes the exact same references from the article Devadasi which is related to article to Mudaliar and Sengunthar. The account MarkPC (talk · contribs) has been created for the sole purpose of edit-warring on the article Devadasi, (check [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28],[29], [30] while Saedirof (talk · contribs) edit-wars on the articles Sengunthar and Mudaliar at the same time. This user was initially found to be a sock of Saedirof (talk · contribs) (CU proof:[31]) but then later escaped by saying that he only edited Devadasi while Saedirof (talk · contribs) has edited Mudaliar and Sengunthar . But this is so not true as the 3 articles are closely related.

Compare the recent edits by Saedirof (talk · contribs): [32] and MarkPC (talk · contribs): [33], [34]. Look at the exact same sentence structure ("reverting after vandalism by YouOnlyLiveTwice a master puppetteer and a banned user") where they both falsely accuse me of being a "master puppeteer and sock of a banned user".

3. 122.164.225.185 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • RDNS • RBLs • block user • block log • checkip) again does the same edits to the articles Mudaliar and Sengunthar. This user just deletes academic citations from both the articles and was caught reverting multiple times. Check [35], [36], [37], [38], [39].

4. 122.164.181.233 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • RDNS • RBLs • block user • block log • checkip) again deletes multiple references from both the articles as the above ip and Saedirof (talk · contribs) Check: [40], [41], [42], [43].

Note: It is highly likely that one or more of the above are sock puppets of Mudaliar (talk · contribs) / Venki123 (talk · contribs) who were banned by the arbitration committee for heavy trolling and edit-warring on the very same articles, namely Mudaliar, Sengunthar and Devadasi. Check [44].

Saedirof (talk · contribs) must be banned for resuming edit-wars(after the expiration of his block) in the very same articles using various socks. His ip must also be blocked and tagged. MarkPC (talk · contribs) must also be blocked as I'm absolutely positive that Saedirof (talk · contribs) and MarkPC (talk · contribs) are the socks of the same user. He is definitely a sock of Saedirof (talk · contribs) by Duck Test I would bet that both ips are from the same geographical location right down to the city and state as he keeps switching back and forth between the two terminals. All related ips must be blocked and tagged.

Thanks, Youonlylivetwice (talk) 21:24, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

I have been cleared of being a sock by Jpgordon (talk · contribs). See CU on user:Youonlylivetwice here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Mudaliar. He insists on reverting my edits and has a strong jingoistic fervor regarding southern india and therefore pushing his POV. Saedirof (talk) 22:44, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Inconclusive The technical analysis is the same as it was before. My previous report was re-analyzed by Jpgordon and I agree with his conclusions. Saedirof and MarkPC have some similarities but enough differences to call into question any positive confirmation. You should be looking to some form of dispute resolution to handle this argument over article content. Thatcher 03:36, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Note: I have indefinitely blocked User:Youonlylivetwice as a sockpuppet of banned User:Mudaliar, per Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Youonlylivetwice. See also Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Mudaliar-Venki123. Jehochman Talk 15:56, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

1. Saedirof (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser) has been constantly edit-warring on Sengunthar, Mudaliar and Devadasi using multiple sock puppets to push POV. Check [55], [56], [57]) and was warned by many admins and finally blocked for disruptive behavior and edit-warring constantly. Check [58], [59].

2. MarkPC (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser) just mimics the edits of Saedirof (talk · contribs) in article Devadasi which is related to article Sengunthar. It is very obvious as the user is making the very same edits and is again edit-warring by deleting same academic sources provided by multiple editors in the article Devadasi & Sengunthar. Check: [60], [61]. This account seems to have been created with the sole purpose of edit-warring in the Devadasi article as it remains dormant and keeps reverting Devadasi at regular intervals when Saedirof (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser) edit-wars in article Sengunthar and Mudaliar.

3. Redlance (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser) also seems to be a sock puppet(from the contributions it is very obvious) and seems to have been created to forge an illusion of multiple users supporting the POV. Check: [62], [63]

4. 128.23.38.187 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • RDNS • RBLs • block user • block log • checkip) again follows suit with the same edits in the articles Muadliar and Sengunthar. Check [64], [65].

Note: It is highly likely that one or more of the above are sock puppets of Mudaliar (talk · contribs) (username same as article name) or Venki123 (talk · contribs) who were banned by the arbitration committee for heavy trolling and edit-warring on the very same articles, namely Mudaliar, Sengunthar and Devadasi. Check [66]. I'm not including diffs as the last activity by these users was a while ago but again it is very obvious from the contributions.

Request that all sock puppets and related ip's if confirmed be dealt with asap.

Thanks. Youonlylivetwice (talk) 23:16, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Clerk note: This case and filing it are Youonlylivetwice's only edits. Kwsn (Ni!) 16:25, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Very true. I'm just a passive user of Wikipedia and I have been observing the above articles. Please tell me, do all users of Wikipedia actively participate and make edits? I just felt the need to report this as the above articles are of interest to me and the violators keep returning in new identities but keep making the same edits. Youonlylivetwice (talk) 22:12, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


Confirmed Saedirof = MarkPC. Redlance's only edits are from open proxies. No comment on the IP address. Thatcher 00:37, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Clerk note: Saedirof has been blocked and tagged for a week, MarkPC has been indef blocked and tagged. -JodyB talk 15:09, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Unlikely Upon review, MarkPC and Saedirof are probably not the same person. I've unblocked MarkPC. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 16:04, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
