~~== SPI case(s) ==~~

~~Hello Ed; hope you are doing well.~~

The userpage of [[Special:Contributions/Lumbarschen|Lumbarschen]], who was identified as a sockpuppet in [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Arbe21 21#30 August 2024|WP:SPI/Arbe21 21 § 30 August 2024]], remains to be tagged per [[WP:SOCKTAG]]. A clerk will probably notice it before the case is archived, but I thought of letting you know.

I would also like to ask whether the rest of the accounts mentioned in the comment section of the aforementioned case – [[Special:Contributions/Henrikurti|Henrikurti]] and [[Special:Contributions/Randomuser2412|Randomuser2412]] – were checked for "possible" links? They are reported in a different case (see [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/NormalguyfromUK#20 August 2024|WP:SPI/NormalguyfromUK § 20 August 2024]]), but the evidence in relation to [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Arbe21 21|Arbe21 21]], is compelling. There is some additional suspicious activity that wasn't mentioned; such as Lumbarschen appearing a day after the creation of [[Skanderbeg's Serbian campaign]] by Henrikurti, to contest its deletion ([[Special:Diff/1242960364|diff]]). Though, this is not necessarily due to sockpuppetry; there are additional possibilities to consider.

~~Hi Ed,~~

Sorry to bug you. I recently cleaned out a filmography of [[Jesus Franco]]. I feel like an editor with similar editing patterns of [[User:HerbLightman]] has come in and made changes to more European genre filmography articles through the [[User:49Bottles]] account. Not sure if it needs more time or eyes, but figured I'd point it out. Thanks. [[User:Andrzejbanas|Andrzejbanas]] ([[User talk:Andrzejbanas|talk]]) 18:55, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

:Whups looks like we both did this around the same time [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/HerbLightman&diff=prev&oldid=1243692692 here]. Hope it does not complicate things. [[User:Andrzejbanas|Andrzejbanas]] ([[User talk:Andrzejbanas|talk]]) 22:22, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

:You are insisting that [[Sevens Football]] should be a redirect to [[Sevens Football Association]] and not be its own article. Has this been discussed anywhere? I notice that some of the past editors of [[Sevens Football]] are now blocked but I'm not well-informed about any sock issues that may exist. You could link to any SPI reports.

Line 75 ⟶ 59:

:Hello KB. We have an article at [[Jean de Luxembourg (1400-1466)]]. Why not explain on the article's talk page what you're looking for? I looked at Revue Historique, and their contents seem to be available through JSTOR, including 1923. Is your concern that there is no article in the Revue matching the reference? If Jean fought in the Hundred Years War there ought to be coverage. There is an actual historian named [[Reed Browning]] but I couldn't find a book by him about the Duke of Burgundy [[User:EdJohnston|EdJohnston]] ([[User talk:EdJohnston#top|talk]]) 17:58, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

::[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jean_de_Luxembourg_(1400-1466)&diff=prev&oldid=1244086136 Some of these references] were added by [[User:TorreyTree]] within the last few days. You could ask them. [[User:EdJohnston|EdJohnston]] ([[User talk:EdJohnston#top|talk]]) 18:06, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

*"''Why not explain on the article's talk page what you're looking for?''"

:::The majority of editors don't check much less respond to queries on article talk pages.

*"''Is your concern that there is no article in the Revue matching the reference?''"

:::My concern is I can't find the article used as a reference in the Revue Historique journals. I was hoping that I had simply missed it. As for the book by Reed Browning, I was hoping I was missing something there as well. It would appear not. I will inquire with TorreyTree for further information. Thanks. --[[User:Kansas Bear|Kansas Bear]] ([[User talk:Kansas Bear|talk]]) 20:30, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
