Mainul Ahsan Noble


The username says it all. He was asked to disclose COI twice on their talk page but no response and repeatedly creating the same article. GSS (talk |c|em ) 07:44, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Not that the sockpuppet investigation on this user has been opened here Sockpuppet investigations/Anupamofficial.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  10:05, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Did you mean ‘Note’ at the very beginning of your note above? --CiaPan (talk) 10:42, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  10:48, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

National Defense Industrial Association


Editor Lrstalter appears to have a COI with the subject of this article. After I posted the COI template on the article, a different editor (with no history of editing) removed it. Looking for advice/discussion on how to proceed. — Eyer (If you reply, add   to your message to let me know.) 19:58, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I added the IP to this. --SVTCobra 23:50, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Ugh, that's an unpleasantly marketspeaky article ("earned its reputation as America's leading defense industry association," "continues to drive strategic dialogue," yadda yadda yadda). I'll see if I can clean it up some. Also needs some more third-party sources, there are only three and they're used to cite fairly small claims. creffett (talk) 00:35, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Did an initial trim. I'm having a surprisingly hard time finding good third-party sources about NDIA, largely because all of my searches seem to be picking up badly-OCR'd stuff about India (or, should I say, I ndia). I concede that they're notable, I just can't find good external sources for the article. Would appreciate it if someone could help out there. creffett (talk) 01:14, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Unrelated to my article trimming - based on off-wiki evidence, I'm almost certain that User:Lrstalter is a WP:UPE. Left a warning on their talk page, can provide evidence to admins if wanted. creffett (talk) 01:18, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

Industrial Technology Research Institute


On a recent edit this user wrote “As marketing PR of ITRI, we prefer not to have this written on our page."  They won't respond to the message left on their talk page and continue to make edits to the page, some disruptive and some not. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 15:07, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Adding a second IP from the edit history; its WHOIS info is the same as the first. No activity recently but definitely a WP:SPA/WP:COI and likely undeclared WP:PAID. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 21:19, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

Ramin Kousha


This biographical article appears to have been written by its subject. Capt. Milokan (talk) 21:25, 24 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Sent the article to AfD (Articles for deletion/Ramin Kousha). If it survives deletion and he's deemed notable, then the user's account name becomes an issue per WP:IMPERSONATE. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:53, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

Central Coast Grammar School


Editor continues to edit article after several warnings by multiple editors. — Eyer (If you reply, add   to your message to let me know.) 02:54, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Promotional intent, addition of copyright violation content, username violation. User hasn't responded to multiple notices. 2601:188:180:1481:6447:7285:231A:27B9 (talk) 02:59, 24 July 2019 (UTC)


 * User blocked per WP:ORGNAME. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:54, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

Jeff Kowatch


The article Jeff Kowatch is promotional in tone and content. It the product of two single-purpose accounts. It appears to be undeclared paid editing to me. Deli nk (talk) 20:22, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Celoxis Technologies - "The software expedites project management through prebuilt reporting options and customizable dashboards, which can be integrated with third-party applications"

Multiple are new articles on subjects who had articles previously deleted. Each posted at a new title to avoid connection.
 * Billy Camrick Carson II was previously at Billy Carson
 * Ellen Nicolaisen was previously at Inger Ellen Nicolaisen
 * Celoxis Technologies was previously at Celoxis
 * Catalyst Investors (U.S. Company) was previously at Catalyst Investors

Recreation of Billy Carson (and Draft:Billy Carson), a often deleted spam piece from large sock farms, is enough reason to suspect UPE. It was posted at Billy Camrick Carson II even though the sources don't use that name. This page is bombarded with spectacularly bad sources. It dishonestly uses four sources to claim songs made Billboard charts. These sources show current charts (supposedly Retrieved 2019-07-19) and can not possibly verify a claim that some songs charted last year.. duffbeerforme (talk) 03:27, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
