''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' I am an administrator in Albanian Wikipedia, fighting sockpuppetry several times there and blocking many accounts for that reason. I have a global account in WikiMedia Meta-Wiki. My account is not related to user:Maleschreiber, clerks can verify it. It happened that user:3knolls started massive removals of templates and categories from several articles without consensus in the ongoing discussion. As soon as I noticed it I reverted those removals. I think user:Maleschreiber did the same. All those edits were made during a few minutes, and it can be seen that user:Maleschreiber's reverts and my reverts overlapped and some of them conflicted with each other (,, , . I suggest user:3knolls to resolve disputes in the relevant talk pages and not to cast aspersions like socking against long established editors. – Βατο (talk) 10:46, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
