 * Pictogram voting comment.svg Note: This looks like a sockpuppet investigation moved to its talk page; what happened here? What do you mean by your request? Actualcpscm (talk) 15:06, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @Actualcpscm IP's cannot create pages in the wikipedia namespace, so when an IP editor files an SPI report the preload creates it in the wikipedia talk namespace and adds a request that the page be moved to the wikipedia namespace. 192.76.8.84 (talk) 15:09, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Move done + comment on investigation
192.76.8.84, I moved the page per your request. Hope this helps!

Regarding your complaint, you should provide a list of specific diffs to support your claims. It is highly likely that an investigation will be declined, given the current state of the complaint; see WP:SPI. Actualcpscm (talk) 15:19, 7 April 2023 (UTC)


 * @Actualcpscm Thank you very much for moving the page for me. I didn't add diffs here because I think the sockpuppetry is extremely obvious here just from looking at the edits the accounts have made and their overlapping focus, plus two of the accounts are already CU blocked. If a CU/clerk requests diffs I will add some. 192.76.8.84 (talk) 15:34, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * „When you open the investigation, you must immediately provide evidence that the suspected sock puppets are connected. The evidence will need to include diffs of edits that suggest the accounts are connected“ (emphasis added by me). I would very strongly recommend just getting them now, it also helps the responding editors with a notoriously tricky and tedious task. Actualcpscm (talk) 17:46, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your diligence,, but really, as a clerk this is a much better filing than most of the ones we get. Spicy (talk) 18:00, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @Spicy I imagine. I always appreciate when e.g. an edit request is done well, so I wanted to pay it forward. Anyway, happy editing (and investigating)! Actualcpscm (talk) 18:18, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
