 * Hello, I opened Wikipedia today to see this! Can anyone please care to explain why I am finding myself being mentioned here? --Harryishere (talk) 09:48, 27 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks to ST47 for clarifying the situation. I don't know who this ChayanSen is. I use normally a shared wifi, which is used by good number of other people as well. I didn't have much prior knowledge about WP:SOCK and I decided to go through, also, I have been going through the concerned policy WP:SHARE and I don't think I have done anything in violation to any of the concerned rules. Though I may be wrong, in which case I would request someone to kindly en-light me about any of my actions which made me face this situation today. I just wanted to share that I am feeling not good at all while facing these questions. I always try to abide by the concerned rules that I know best of my knowledge and try to avoid any kind of conflict within Wikipedia community, I can show you several situations where I could have involved into any conflicts (e.g. edit wars, counter personal attacks etc) but I tried to remain civil and obey the concerned regulations of this forum. I never thought I would be required to face such a situation which is very unfortunate and humiliating to me. Also, I want to know if it is mandatory not to use shared internet connection while editing Wikipedia. --Harryishere (talk) 13:28, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

I agree there were some similarities, but the Truman account and the ChayanSen account have nothing to do with each other--and that's setting aside the question of what the problem would be in the first place: neither account is blocked, and while there is the vote on Articles for deletion/Ole Jensen (neuroscientist), that one vote is not going to matter anyway. The real question here is for : what is your relation with ? Drmies (talk) 21:45, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * That's precisely the question we'd like you do answer. What is your connection to ChayanSen, and also to the several other accounts that seem to be editing from the same IP address as you are, and at the same times? ST47 (talk) 22:20, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
 * ,, what's your thinking here? I only see overlap between ChayanSen and Harryishere at MICRO (organization) and they don't appear to be pursuing the same goals. GeneralNotability (talk) 18:08, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, GeneralNotability, there's some technical material here. seems not to have an answer for that, or be unwilling to provide one. ST47? Drmies (talk) 01:19, 30 July 2020 (UTC)


 * I blocked Harryishere for spamming. MER-C 08:26, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what all happened with the discussion above this but I checked on my own. I don't think my findings conflict with the above.
 * These two accounts are ✅:
 * These two move through common IPs in a way I can't see being the result of a shared connection (shared WiFi or an office), nor caused by their ISP dynamically assigning IPs. I'm curious what their connection is to, whose sandbox Harryishere edited extensively, but I did not check.
 * is to the two above, but . Based on the timestamps it's possible that ChayanSen is a different person from the other two who just happened to be on the same IP on one of the same days, but I think that is unlikely. I find it incredibly odd that a brand new user would create an account just to nominate two suspected-paid articles for deletion. My theory, based on Harryishere's campaign to delete other editors' promotional contribs while polluting the project with their own, is that ChayanSen may be a good-hand account.
 * is in a different country and ❌ to everyone.

 * The last bunch of accounts noted here are already broken out into their own case, so there's nothing left to do here. Closing. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:34, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
