Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Jaggu5239/Archive

Suspected sockpuppets
was blocked for their attempt to game the system to gain extended-confirmed status. Majority of their edits were bizarre, meaningless edits on their own talk page, as seen here

Jaggu5239 tried to game the system in order to vandalize Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire, given the extended confirmed protection put on the article. They also kept trying to remove a reliable source called Box Office India from the page.

The sock also tries to do the same, only this time, they are requesting other editors to make the edits for them:

At the time of filing this, they have only 10 edits, and all 10 edits are either attempts to prove that Box Office India is unreliable or requests for changes to be made to Salaar. Wayfarer Pacifist (talk) 08:13, 29 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Why am I being accused here, I havent done anything wrong. I have been seeing BOI being frequently used for many south movies and I was thinking to voice out this and questioned its reliability. I started a fair and healthy discussion in the taskforce page. What wrong have I done here?
 * Also, the irony here is that filer himself being gaming their edit count to edit such pages refering . Uzumaki787 (talk) 09:22, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

The accusesd user approached Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Film/Indian_cinema_task_force asking about the reliability of Boxofficeindia.com. The website, even though is a tracker website for North Indian movies, is seldom used for South Indian movies as they almost never use South Indian movie collections. Also, from time to time, the reliability of BOI.com was questioned. Hence, I adviced them to use properly established sources that are reliable per WP:RS/P as the source. They asked me to update that since they do not have AC or EAC, I updated accordingly and left a summary too. This was later reverted by Wayfarer Pacifist, and then again by them. The accused user then accused Wayfarer Pacifist for gaming the system (here)by making null edits in their user page for EAC status. As someone who's been active in Indian cinema related topics, I'd say the BOI.com, even though is a reliable source, should not be trusted with South Indian movie box office collections, when there are other RS readily avaliable.
