The user has been edit-warring on Buranji for the last few days and has been IP-hopping with some regularity. Going by the statements of another user, he usually adds OR and POV statements related to the Sutiya community in most of his edits.

has been warned and banned for editwarring a couple of days ago. He's doing it again today. His latest edit summary reads: It is pretty clear that a consensus will not be reached as the only people involved in the talk seem to be working as a team to disqualify my righteous claim.

The IPs have not gone stale. They are at it again. And from the looks of things, Qwertywander and Qwertywander1 are socks. All these accounts have only one agenda: POV-pushing something or the other about the Sutiyas at Buranji, Varman dynasty, Sutiya community, etc. Looking at some of the edit histories of these articles hints at more accounts that might be socks.

Qwertywander, Qwertywander1, and 115.248.26.61 have both performed similar edits on Varman dynasty as well as Buranji.

Sample diffs:
 * Varman dynasty: diff 1, diff 2
 * Buranji: Qwertywander1 correcting an error by 115.whatever.

Please perform a CU to discover the sleepers that are very likely around. Thanks. —Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 09:10, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

 * - Only one account is not stale. Sro23 (talk) 01:39, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
 * You've moved the SPI to this page. How about the original IP? Thanks.—Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 09:34, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I withdraw this case. Please close it.—Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 10:35, 16 September 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry Cpt.a.haddock. I don't enjoy declining when there's obvious ongoing disruption. Maybe try WP:RFPP? Sro23 (talk) 18:18, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
 * . Qwertywander1 is absolutely socking through IP's.  No doubt.  Indeffed, but the IPs are dynamic and are now surely used by someone else.  Let me know if he comes back and I can semi targets of interest.  Courcelles (talk) 19:36, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you both.—Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 07:11, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

I am not aware of any sock puppetry involved in these articles. Moreover, the user has very tactfully written my username as LauraGoldstein900( to match with MattGordon900), whereas my username is LauraGoldstein67. I have been editing and adding sourced content to these pages since a long time. The user Chaipau has always been reverting sourced contents in the pages Chutiya kingdom and Paik system. This may be some new trick the user is using to block me and continue with his POV driven disruptive edits. The fact is clear. The guy is from the Ahom community who were a competing dynasty with the Chutiyas, which clearly shows his personal intent. I say this because if one looks at his talk page, it is pretty evident how he tries to promote his own content by engaging in edit wars with countless users. ,, , , and many more. I request the admins to block this user so that he is unable to proceed with his malicious acts.LauraGoldstein67 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:16, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

A new account that makes a few trivial, small edits to various articles and then hits the sock-infested Chutiya Kingdom with a massive single-edit restoration of policy-compliant removals has got to ring alarm bells. Sitush (talk) 23:30, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

"content added with proper reference", "added sourced information", both edits related to Chutiya people, both using characteristic Qwertwander edit summaries referencing Wikipedia terms of art inconsistent with the age and edit history of the account. WP:LTA case spannig several months, fair likelihood of further sleeper socks out there. Previous sock was, I think,. Guy (Help!) 00:54, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Could be connected, too? They made a bunch of trivial edits before reinstating a huge edit at Chutiya people and soon after went inactive on 27 January. The Chutiya people edit was contrary to various things with long-standing consensus, eg: use of British Raj era sources and genetics papers. - Sitush (talk) 16:18, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The edit summary for the 7k addition/reinstatement at the Chutiya article was "Added important sections, sources, and references removed without consensus", which doesn't sound like a newcomer, nor does the citation formatting etc. - Sitush (talk) 16:20, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
 * , that is a classic Qwertywander edit summary. It's been used before, pretty much word for word. Guy (Help!) 19:11, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

This needs to be moved to the correct spelling of the master. It's all 's fault because he failed to take the advice of Dr. Bbb23.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:42, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

Chaw rock is ✅, blocked and tagged. The other listed suspected socks are not worth addressing. The filer, however, is suspicious. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:57, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
