Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/TheBishopAndHolyPrince

Suspected sockpuppets
Same interests as sock master: UK parliamentary bills and government ministers. The degree of overlap with the sockmaster and previous socks, including on quite obscure pages, is remarkable. This user redoes verbatim parts of edits by sockmaster. The sockmaster's particular interest in adding "The Lord" styling to infoboxes (they started two RFCs) is shared by this user.

 * I have found this page inadvertently as the other user which has reported me falsely has reverted a number of my edits which were factually correct. I have checked their page and other users have castigated them for their persistence in reporting/reverting alleged sock-puppets. I am no sock-puppet. All of my contributions have been factually right, and the pages I have edited have been wrong in a lot of cases, including where the reporting user (Cambial) has reverted them from other editors to then be wrong. Other users have pointed this out to the reporting user. I am not the only one that has used "the Lord X" others have too, which the reporting user has disagreed with even when they are a Lord, for example I updated Jacqui Smith's appointment which others had already put "Baroness Smith of Malvern"... I wonder whether they also getting reported. I hope I am able to continue providing valuable contributions to Wikipedia, and I see the reporting user has no other objection than falsely alleging I am a sock-puppet when I am not.

 * I also see that the reporting user has not given a reason to reverting edits (mine and others) to then make the pages factually wrong. Maybe they could explain themselves rather than having a vendetta against other people. Swintonswims (talk) 22:16, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

 * User:Aoidh, looks like a pretty clear case to me, but I'd like for you to have a look with your special glasses. There's so many disruptive ranges there, but I doubt hard blocks would be appropriate in most cases. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 21:41, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
