Since 23 August there has been an organised campaign through Twitter to disruptively flood the Talk:Ayurveda page with edit requests to remove sourced content that the proponents of Ayurveda dislike. See Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents for some context. Around 30 editors, many of whom are are newly created accounts, have appeared and posted variations of the same edit request at the talk page. This is the talk page history 23-26 August 2020. Some of the edit requests have been archived at Talk:Ayurveda/Archive 15; many have been simply deleted as duplicative and disruptive. It is difficult to ascertain which accounts are meatpuppets and which are sockpuppets, but this should be established to help prevent further disruption. RexxS (talk) 16:51, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Please feel free to amalgamate this request into the one above. I understand that the IPs cannot be publicly connected to the users, but it may be helpful for checkusers in trying to establish the degree of sockpuppetry. --RexxS (talk) 17:06, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

 * I have seen this list of IPs, but of course cannot comment on it. I'll run CU on the accounts above shortly. If any admin does want to place blocks here, note that blocking the Reliance Jio range (2409:4063:...) is not likely to be very effective, as their customers tend to appear at random across their entire (very large) IP space. The other IPs are blockable (no significant collateral) but with only one edit each...probably not worth it. ST47 (talk) 03:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
