Question

Hi Spicy, I have been digging into WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Daniel Martin77 and have found a couple or so more socks related to Group 2, which you id'd as being part of WP:Sockpuppet investigations/TheCaseOfGoliath. Based on my analysis, I agree Group 2 is definitely TheCaseOfGoliath (not sure about Group 1, though). I am assuming any new filings should be filed under the latter SPI, is that correct?

Yi Sun (academic)/User:Suny8616, who paid this group/person to create an article about them which was subsequently G5 deleted (log), has sent an email to paid-en-wp@wikipedia.org with information and email correspondence. After it was deleted, they reached out to @Kuru trying to get the article restored which I saw so reached out to them. You can see our discussion on their talk page. According them, they were solicited. They ended up creating a draft themselves which was accepted via AfC. S0091 (talk) 15:37, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

S0091, you can file it under either case. The clerks (or more likely me) will figure it out at some point. Spicy (talk) 22:48, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, but I am a little confused what to file? If it is to file a case against this group/person who created my Wiki page with paid service, how? Suny8616 (talk) 23:15, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

@Suny8616 Apologies for the confusion. There's nothing you need to do. S0091 (talk) 14:21, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Alright, I filed it under TheCaseOfGoliath and also sent an email to the paid queue. Please know I have no expectation of you handling it. It's in the pile like the rest and someone will pick it up at some point. S0091 (talk) 18:48, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Sigh. What a waste of my time, I'm too trusting. I've nuked their drafts but except for one article, I've left their edits alone. Doug Weller talk 13:27, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
