Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

All those 3 users deleted the same information from the same article.

  1. 10 April: A newly registered user (Timb1976) deletes Vardanyan's relation to Putin[1][2]
  2. 26 April: A sleeper account (Safi-iren) deletes Vardanyan's relation to Putin[3]
  3. 29 April: Another newly registered non-EC user (Shinadamina) deleted lot's of sources[1][2][3]. After 5 minutes, deletes Vardanyan's relation to Putin.[4].

Other than content removals, Safi-iren deleted the same sources (Jamestown, IrishTimes, ICIJ), 11 days after Timb1976. Shinadamina did the same thing after 3 days. Aredoros87 (talk) 21:17, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

After I made a request to make Ruben Vardanyan article to be protected[1] and warned Shinadamina on their talk page about AA[2], the user started doing random edits to reach 500 edit count. Then immediately made an edit with "Ref bombing cleanup" edit summary. Meanwhile, he/she deleted the phrase ... nicknamed "Putin's wallet..[3] The exact same tactic has been used by Timb1976 before[4] -- an unrelated edit summary, and secretly deleting the same phrase (... nicknamed "Putin's wallet.). Another similar edit has also being made by Timb1976[5] Aredoros87 (talk) 18:23, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
