Coconut
The coconut (Cocos nucifera) is a member of the palm tree family, Arecaceae. Originally native to the Central Indo-Pacific, in the regions of Maritime Southeast Asia and Melanesia, coconuts are now found across the world due to human cultivation and dispersal. They are normally cultivated in hot and wet tropical climates. The term coconut also commonly refers to the seed and fruit of the coconut tree, which is botanically a drupe. The fruit has three layers including an edible white, fleshy endosperm and is filled with a liquid known as coconut water. The coconut thus played a critical role in the migration of Austronesian peoples across the Indian Ocean, as it provided a portable source of both food and water for long sea voyages. In modern times coconuts are used extensively in cooking and cuisine, using the raw flesh, the water or in alternative forms such as coconut milk and coconut butter. These coconuts, one whole and one halved, were grown in the Dominican Republic; this photograph was focus-stacked from 19 separate images.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus

In reference to this edit summary,[1] and this section[2]...you might be interested in this SPI I created some time ago.[3] Admin RegentsPark and user Kautilya3, who, like me, dealt with the sockmaster in the past, also believe that Kami2018 = Saladin1987. - LouisAragon (talk) 18:49, 27 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

@LouisAragon:, if there's any way to stop him from editing and start your investigation all over again (it seems outdated), I'm in. Handful of his edits and relevant contributions are simply awful; they may even qualify as vandalism. --Esperanto97 (talk) 06:38, 28 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Removal of referenced information, again

edit

Dear Esperanto97, being a neutral editor, I invite you to check out the recent contributions by Kami2018, to whom you recently gave a "last warning" on his talk page. He is currently removing refs and reliably sourced content from articles related to the Khalji dynasty. For example, see these edits: [4], [5], [6], [7]. In his edit summary, he claimed that the source he removed was "not credible" (?), although historian Vladimir Minorsky, who is cited, is in fact one of the most trusted academics on the subject. Thanks, Khestwol (talk) 10:35, 17 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Khestwol, I personally does not have any discrepancy with that user; I simply came across his edits at recent changes page where I found out that a handful of his edits were completely disruptive. I guess it's just about time for you (editors who have to deal with him often) to take your cause to ANI and request an indefinite block for him as these well-founded accusations are indeed piling up. Moreover, such users as LouisAragon, Kautilya3, Regentspark suspect him of sockpuppetry claiming that he is the same person with Saladin1987, who was indefinitely site banned years ago for similar behaviour by a unanimous community consensus. You could use their materials on that as well if you like. Good luck! --Esperanto97 (talk) 09:36, 19 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
