 * Three of these IP's are already blocked. The fourth has been inactive for a week after less than 24h of activity, so no further action is needed here. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:45, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

The day the other Ips, claiming they are from AsianWiki, were banned, this user created their account and proposing the deletion of a certain template that was being removed by the other Ip. Their removal of the template caused other users to revert their action and be blocked by admins. The user has no previous edit and just suddenly proposed the deletion of the template straight after the Ips were banned. See discussion over here External links/Noticeboard. I don't mind that the template is deleted, as I said a million times, however, this users persistence to get it removed is matching with the other IPs and is a marketing ploy by AsianWiki which the main sock master is affiliated to.

It doesn't matter if the user is banned or not, what needs to be done is check whether it is affiliated with the AsianWiki IPs, to check whether this user is influencing the discussion and proposed deletion for their websites gain or for wiki.

Added another user who has the same pattern as Nicemagnet. Creating an account to agree with Nicemagnet. Clear case of influencing discussions. CherryPie94 &#x1F352;&#x1f967; (talk) 13:50, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' Hello, I first made the wikipedia account "WestParking" to report spam-external link violations by CherryPie94, but I did not write down my password and could not remember it. I then made the user account Nicemagnet and have used it ever since. I am not familiar with the other ip's. Nicemagnet (talk) 09:13, 29 April 2018 (UTC)


 * You might be mistaken. You used Nicemagnet, then used WestParking, not the other way around. You keep switching between them to agree with yourself. Moreover, there is something called "Forget password". In addition, AsianWiki was banned for spamming and this user got angry for no reason External_links/Noticeboard. High chance he is affiliated with AsianWiki, just as the sock puppet master.  CherryPie94  &#x1F352;&#x1f967; (talk) 09:31, 29 April 2018 (UTC)


 * The password for the other account never worked. I think you are seriously angry because your website mydramalist got blacklisted? Seriously, you authored the Wikipedia mydramalist page (which is now deleted), the Arabic Wikipedia Mydramalist page (which is still up and has a nice affiliate link you embedded), Template:MyDramaList title mydramalist external link templates (which got deleted), and category pages for mydramalist matching wikidata, plus hundreds of external links you added of your website. That deserved to get banned, get over it. Nicemagnet (talk) 09:45, 29 April 2018 (UTC)


 * I was the one that requested for the templates to be deleted, as I said, if it goes against Wikipedia rules, I would remove it and I did. As for the Arabic page, it should go too since it lack secondary sources. Thanks for informing me, will request its deletion now.  CherryPie94  &#x1F352;&#x1f967; (talk) 09:57, 29 April 2018 (UTC)


 * No, it should not be deleted because it lacks secondary sources. It should be deleted because you as the website owner of mydrmalist and a native arabic speaker ( <-- you listed on your talk page you are a native Arabic speaker), decided to create an Arabic Wikipedia page about your website mydramalist. Mydramalist is an all English text website, there is no conceivable reason for you to have created that Arabic Wikipedia page for Mydramalist other than you decided to spam link your website everywhere. Which is the reason why I first posted about your spam links. Nicemagnet (talk) 10:17, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

If there is behavioral merit to this case, it should be moved to the named account and closed with no action (I don't consider this socking at this point). If there is no merit, it should just be closed.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:20, 16 April 2018 (UTC)


 * there are very strong indications that this report is retaliatory given that a request by the accused led to a lengthy discussion on the COI of the filer. Nonetheless I think there is merit here: the IPs were blocked at the time that WestParking was created, but neither of the accounts edited until the IP blocks expired. However, WestParking's sole edit (in the COIN thread) reads as a reasonably deliberate attempt to appear as a second contributor contrary to policy. Since it seems that Nicemagnet is intended to be the primary account I am blocking the other one.
 * you are getting away with a warning here: use only one account from now on. If you lose access to that account and need to create a new one, please see the instructions at WP:SOCK to notify a checkuser or the arbitration committee. Also, may create pages on any language Wikipedia on any topic she chooses, if the topic meets that Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines. Stop picking on her for contributing in Arabic. Assume good faith is policy, as is no personal attacks.
