== DMySon's socks ==

Hello. MER-C, thanks for keeping the project clean and filing this [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/John Rayn]]. I ran through their log and found an interesting pattern: majority of their clients are from India and they review their own socks pages pretty quickly (within minutes!). I identified below socks based on that:

* [[Billionaire B]], reviewed by DMySon after 39 mins ({{User1|JoyStick101}} connection)
* [[Srikumar Misra]], reviewed by DMySon after 9 mins; NarangD's userpage/sandbox behavior is very much DMySon ({{User1|NarangD}})
* [[Indian Achievers Award]], reviewed/unreviewed by DMySon; largely sourced with PR coverage. Userpage/sandbox almost similar to NarangD's and to an extent to DMySon's socks. This account was active on this AfD [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rolly Lambert Fogoum]] with other DMySon blocked socks. DMySon supporting Inspect61 on this AfD: [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Valsa Nair Singh]] ({{User1|Inspect61}})
* [[Afternoon Voice]], started by ({{User1|Source Wide}}) who's promo article [[Okeanos Group]] was reviewed by DMySon after 33 mins only and defended on [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Okeanos Group]] with his other socks.
**{{User1|Manto yadav}} creation of [[Vaidehi Taman]] (sourced entriely with PR), founder of Afternoon Voice, and a quick review by DMySon (also removal of A7) indicates both pages were paid.
*{{User1|Spkabil}} is their sock too. See their socks became active on [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Okeanos Group]] and JoyStick101's vote on [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Robert_Joel]]. Possibly, they are part of [[User:TheChronium]], see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=&user=&page=Mriganka_Madhukaillya&wpdate=&tagfilter=&subtype=].
* [[Amit Puri]], reviewed by DMySon after removing tags using his sock JoyStick101 ({{User1|Edusite456}})
* [[Rajender Singh Pahl]], reviewed by DMySon; sourced entirely with press releases ({{User1|Albert191}}) 
** [[K.M. Chakravarty]], reviewed by DMySon; also due to the above connection.
* [[Kanoria Foundation]], reviewed by DMySon after 34 mins, this sock is old one ({{User1|Orlandofoster}}) 
** [[Shikhi Sharma]], reviewed by DMySon after 18 mins
** [[Guido Meardi]], reviewed by DMySon after 25 mins
** [[Rajat Ubhaykar]], reviewed by DMySon after 18 mins
** [[Saudamini mishra]], reviewed by DMySon after 15 mins
** [[Mooka Hakki]], reviewed by DMySon after 32 mins
** [[Villavan: The Vigilante]], same day review by DMySon
* [[Kama Ayurveda]], reviewed by DMySon after just 3 mins, it has a history of UPE behavior ({{User1|CommanderF1}})
Thanks. Please draftify and file an SPI – I would be thankful. [[Special:Contributions/103.78.151.95|103.78.151.95]] ([[User talk:103.78.151.95|talk]]) 22:16, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
:Edusite456 is another John Rayn sock, {{noping|Neelima Ashadev}} is a SPA who added the image. The username pattern is different and matches the Albert191 lot.

== misery ==

I've had quite enough [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Yami_tan#Nomination_of_Shri_Gopal_Puri_for_deletion of this] incompetent paid editor who has flip flopped on their status multiple times, despite partially disclosing once, telling me on the help chat they were paid and now saying they are not. They clearly aren't here to contribute anything good and I've had enough misery dealing with them. Not to mention, they managed to get [[Shri Gopal Puri]] G7'd in the midst of an active AFD and then nearly immediately recreated it sans AFD notice. Your turn?

== [[Ryan Kavanaugh]] ==

Hi [[User:MER-C|MER-C]].
I want you to look into this page [[Ryan Kavanaugh]] when you have the time. This editor named  "Throast" has consistently edited this page more that every other editor for months now. He claims to be the sole editor who has right to  update the page as he wants. He obviously has COI issues judging by the nature of his edits on the page.  Because he claims to be an extended user, he reverts edits by others or asks them to discuss their edits on the talk page. But most often, he won't discuss his edit on the talk page.  At one occasion, he tried asking for a consensus on the talk page only to proceed to effect the changes without hearing from others. He makes changes on the page at will. He makes sure both COI and non-COI editors who attempt to edit the page are banned by all means while he keeps having fun editing the page as he wills.
 
Recently, he added a "Controversy" tab just to keep emphasizing the negative aspects of the subject as against the rules of [[WP:BLP]]. Please look into it. I believe he needs to be sanctioned. Thanks.[[Special:Contributions/46.252.47.133|46.252.47.133]] ([[User talk:46.252.47.133|talk]]) 20:15, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi, it looks as if you have some knowledge of this sockmaster, [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Xenen1970/Archive]]. I don't have enough to start a SPI yet, but the editor who created [[Oleg A Konovalov]] instead of the previously deleted [[Oleg Konovalov]] seems a good candidate (because of that article and the  way they avoided the old title, the edit summaries, the "10 edits and create an article" approach, the rapid creation of a near-empty userpage, ...) Perhaps you can have a look? [[User:Fram|Fram]] ([[User talk:Fram|talk]]) 14:10, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

== Temporary PMR on my mobile account ==

Hi {{u|MER-C}}, you might be aware that my laptop got accidentally damaged and I'm not in a position to access my main account until the laptop is back. The service provider says it'd be by 7 July because there's some sort of lockdown in China and the part (LCD) is in transit. I need to push some articles back to draft (and I don't want to burden admins by leaving behind redirects) and also help at RMT; could you please add temporary page mover rights to my mobile account? I asked Primefac, but it looks like they are occupied and busy elsewhere.

:: Thanks {{u|MER-C}}. Do you have idea about why are the redirects left behind after a page move left as unreviewed? I moved a few pages and then received notifications that the redirects left behind were marked as reviewed? Is this usual when one doesn't have autopatrolled flag?

== Hargreaves Review Deletion (2019) ==

Hi, I'm sure you don't remember this routine deletion from 3 years ago, but I'm curious as to why it happened and would be interested in remedying the issue. However, I can't find any record of what the alleged copyvio within ''[[Hargreaves Review of Intellectual Property and Growth]]'' was or its page history. Does that mean the article itself was suppressed? All it points to is a [[Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/SasiSasi|copyvio investigation page for a user]] who edited the article that notes that ''Hargreaves'' article was blanked before it was deleted, but I'm not sure what that means, either. Low-priority, no stress. It took me a few years to even notice it was missing, after all. Thanks for your time and any help you might provide. [[User:Lethargilistic|lethargilistic]] ([[User talk:Lethargilistic|talk]]) 09:51, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi, MER-C hope you're doing great. Humble request you to kindly have a look on an article named "Deoghar Airport". A user named "Alotorus" is adding a connecting flight/ layover flights in airlines and destination section of Deoghar Airport. I told him not to add this connecting flights as it against Wikipedia policies but he won't listen and he keeps reverting the edits done by me and some other user.The news citation attached by him clearly states that this is a connecting flight not the direct one's. Please kindly look into it. Thanks [[User:Flashthomsom|Flashthomsom]] ([[User talk:Flashthomsom|talk]]) 19:29, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

==Unlinking deleted articles==
Hello, MER-C,

I hope you are having a pleasant summer. I have noticed that you often delete articles that have been tagged for having copyright issues. Frequently, these are articles that have been around for a while and are linked to other Wikipedia articles. It would be great if, when you delete them, you could remove all of the red links that are caused by the article's deletion. Doing this manually is a time-consuming task but if you have Twinkle installed, it happens very fast. If you delete a page using Twinkle, the tool not only deletes all redirects to the page but a box pops up offering to unlink all mentions of the deleted article. If you don't use Twinkle to delete pages but you still have it installed, in the Twinkle menu (last tab to the right in the menu at the top of the page), there is an "Unlink" option. Just put in the reason, like "Deleted article" or "Deleted PROD", and submit and the program will remove all of the red links leaving the subject's name in ordinary black color like all over unlinked words.

Sometimes, it is worth the extra effort to go and remove any unlinked reference to the deleted article, for example, I often find older biographies often have a mention on Surname listing pages that is worth removing. But an unlinked mention is not as jarring for readers as those red links to articles that have been deleted and are unlikely to be recreatd any time soon. Any way, I thought I'd pass this tip along. Stay cool! <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 20:39, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
